When John Cena first introduced the world to the Dr. of Thuganomics he would often take aim at his opponents and destroy them verbally by rapping. Max Caster of The Acclaimed has received a lot attention for his rap skills as of late and he’s destroyed a number of people with his verbal jabs.
Due to the nature of what Max Caster is doing he inevitably gets compared to John Cena, and during an interview with The AJ Awesome Show the current AEW Tag Team Champion revealed that Cena actually reaches out to him from time to time.
“John Cena is a huge inspiration. I’ve never met him, but he reaches out to me from time to time. He’s been very, very nice, and for my hero as a teenager to reach out to me and, in the midst of people saying, ‘Oh, you’re a Cena rip-off, you’re just doing something that’s old, we don’t want to see this in wrestling now,’ for him to reach out and say, ‘You’re doing it the right way,’ sometimes he says I do it better than he did, it’s his opinion. I don’t know if I wanna agree with that, but I believe in myself, 100%, and his confidence in me only boosts me up. I don’t know if he knows how much that means, but it means a lot. So he’s my inspiration back then and now still.”
John Cena recently made his return to the ring last week on SmackDown when he teamed with Kevin Owens to defeat Sami Zayn & Roman Reigns. It’s been reported that WWE is hoping for Cena to step into the ring at WrestleMania in April, but his status for the event has not been confirmed. Stay tuned for updates.
