Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring John Cena and Lince Dorado.
• During an appearance on the Cafe de Rene podcast, WWF Veteran Pat Tanaka (of The Orient Express) talked about John Cena’s legendary career.
Tanaka criticized Cena’s in-ring work, but put him over for being a superstar:
“I always thought, ‘Man, that guy cannot work with sh*t.’ But I tell you what, he had some serious charisma, brother. He didn’t even need to work.
He is a great, great actor. I think he’s fantastic. You know, I applaud that guy, man, because I tell you what, what a superstar he is now.”
