After an incredibly successful twenty three year run with WWE, John Cena finally retired on Saturday night when he tapped out to Gunther in his final match. Emotions are running high right now as the wrestling world is trying to process the fact that Cena’s in-ring career is over.
Mark Henry talked about the fallout while discussing Cena’s retirement match on Busted Open Radio and he noted that about thirty or forty people were waiting in line to hug John Cena backstage.
“I walked through the back to do this broadcast and there was a line of about thirty or forty people to get to John, hugging and consoling him. We gave the salute and I came going and came up here, but like, I mean, people were emotional. It’s been a while since… the last time I seen people crying emotional like that was… somebody passed away.
“John is still alive and well. He’s going to Hollywood and he’s going to make some incredible films. You’re gonna keep hearing him, every day, on all the commercials and ad spaces that he does. He’s not going away. He’s just going away from the ring.”
