Simon Gotch Reveals What John Cena Said To Him After Watching The Final Deletion

Last summer everyone was talking about The Final Deletion. Somehow Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero managed to create something that can’t really be explained and it has to be seen to be believed.

Simon Gotch parted ways with WWE a few weeks ago, and he was also spotted at the ROH War of the Worlds pay-per-view. Simon recently caught up with Journey of a Frontman, and he talked about what’s next for his career and more.

One of the things he talked about was the backstage reaction to The Final Deletion, and he says that it was Chris Jericho who showed everyone the video. The video caught John Cena’s attention, and Gotch offered an interesting description of The Final Deletion to John Cena, which the 16 time WWE World Champion agreed with after he saw the footage.

“Chris Jericho had actually been given an advanced copy of it because Matt had done his podcast and he gave him a copy of it. So when we were over in Japan for a couple days, he was showing it to us. He was telling us that this video’s insane, it’s insane, it’s insane, it’s insane. So we had a viewing and Cena sees everybody laughing and asks what’s going on. And we were like, “Oh, we’re watching this Matt Hardy video.” And he asked how it was. I said, “Try and imagine the worst thing you’ve ever seen WWE do. Then imagine if somehow it was good.” And he looks at me for a second and he goes, “I don’t want to come in halfway. Please tell me when it is over. I would like to watch it.” So it finishes and we’re all dying laughing because it’s just the most insane thing anyone’s ever seen. I actually brought it up to Chris and found out he ended up bringing it up to Matt at Mania. If you watch the video when he lights the fire, Matt actually gets engulfed in a ball of flame for a second. If you watch it closely when he throws the fire down, pay attention to Matt. Don’t look at Jeff, don’t look at the fire. Look at Matt. The fire comes up and engulfs him. And he was like, “Yeah! No one noticed that! We were doing it, it took all day and we were losing the gasoline. They were like you just gotta go, just do it. And we just went and did it. It got all over me!” And so it was just one of those where it was just a complete accident, but apparently not a lot of people noticed it. I came back in later, Cena was watching the video, he looked at me and said, “You are absolutely right.”

It appears that John Cena thought that The Final Deletion was “somehow good” as he told Gotch he was absolutely right.
