The Rock Shares Emotional Message For John Cena

Before Saturday Night’s Main Event started, WWF Legend The Rock, one of John Cena’s greatest rivals, took to Instagram to send a message to The GOAT. Here’s what he said:

“John, Saturday, December 13, the time has come. You are wrestling your final match in your unbelievably blessed and historic career. I want to share a few things with you man before you go out and, 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 that we love.

I want to thank you for that because I feel like you and I have this wild and crazy history. Yes, we have spilled blood together in our matches, literally. We have torn tendons, literally in our matches. We’ve broken records and 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 during those days. 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 I want to share with you, the most important thing that I realised 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.

The thing I love the most about you is that you’re a good human being and that matters. The more I go down the road of life, the more we go down the road of life, you realize just how important being a good human being is. 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 for our entire business, the WWE, the entire world of pro wrestling, and I also want to take a moment to acknowledge your family. The entire Cena family, because I know personally, I grew up in this crazy world of professional wrestling and I have experienced like you, like all all of us as wrestlers, we have experienced the challenges of wrestling. When you become a wrestler it becomes a family affair, because everyone 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 before 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.

Remember that thing that we say to each other? Not that part about 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**king fun and tear the house down man.”
