Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recorded a 2 minute 37 second
video message to John Cena which he uploaded before Cena had
his final match yesterday.
The two, who didn’t always see eye to eye, ended up being
big friends who did record-breaking business together inside
the ring.
Johnson’s full message to John Cena:
“All right, this message is for the one and only my friend,
my brother, John Cena. John, Saturday, December 13th. The
time has come.
You are wrestling your final match in your unbelievably
blessed and historic career. And I want to share a few
things with you, man, before you go out and you, as we say
in wrestling, tear the house down with Gunther.
I want to say thank you. Thank you so much for your
contributions, all of your accomplishments, your passion,
your commitment to this wild and crazy world that’s
unpredictable and all the things that it is of professional
wrestling, uh, that we love. And I want to thank you for
that because I feel like, you know, you and I have this wild
and crazy history and yes, we have spilled blood together in
our matches. Literally we have torn tendons literally in our
matches.
We’ve broken records and man, that has been incredible. And
I’ll always be proud of that. What you and I were able to
accomplish together as a team, along with the rest of the
rosters back at, uh, during those days. And it was awesome.
And that was rare air that we were able to breathe. And I
will always be grateful for that.
But the thing that I want to share with you, the most
important thing that I realized over the years about our
relationship and our bond and our friendship, the thing that
I discovered about you that I love the most is your jorts.
I’m only kidding. I love the jorts.
Um, the thing I love the most about you is that you’re a
good human being and man, that matters. And you know what?
The more I go down the road of life, the more we go down the
road of life, you realize just, um, how important being a
good human being is and being kind to people and treating
people nice and being nice to people. It’s nice to be
important, but it’s more important to be nice.
You epitomize that quote. So brother, I want to thank you
for everything you’ve done, uh, for our entire business, the
WWE, this world of pro wrestling. And I also want to take a
moment to acknowledge your family, the entire scene of
family, because I know personally, I grew up in this crazy
world of professional wrestling and I have experienced like
you, like all of us as wrestlers, we’ve experienced, uh, the
challenges of wrestling.
And when you become a wrestler, it becomes a family affair
because everybody sacrifices in the family. So Cena family,
thank you for your sacrifices as well. I know you’re very
proud of John as I am as well.
Last thing for you tonight, when you go out right before
your music hits, I want you to remember the thing that you
and I always talk about before we go out through the
curtain. And before you and I have done our dance in many
arenas and stadiums across the country.
You remember that thing that we say to each other? ‘Hey,
let’s have some tequila and moonshine after the match.’ No,
the other part, have fun, go have fun.
John Cena, you are the GOAT go have f*cking fun and tear
that house down, man.
