Here are some highlights of what Cena said about:
The “Spinner” WWE Title Belt: The spinner belt was a great evolution to the character, but I have plans every day to try to evolve the WWE Championship (belt) more. I’m just trying to get the right people to listen,” Cena said. “I think the championship itself is out-dated and gaudy. It was fine for the time, but it’s certainly not what we need right now. I’m pushing forward to the evolution of that another step.”
Evan Bourne’s Potential:“To be quite honest, one of my little pet projects is watching how [Evan Bourne] reacts to people and watching his energy in the ring. I think he has so much to offer to the business,” Cena said. “It’s not just what people do between the ropes. I want somebody to be able to walk the streets and be a proud representative of our company. And, when the bell rings, he’s one of the most entertaining people to watch on the face of the planet. I’m always watching everybody; every type of WWE-affiliated product, I’m always watching just to see people’s behavior. I think he is one of the many in the giant youth movement that we have in WWE that’s about to show some people that he belongs.”
His Hip Hop Character: “When I first started, they wanted us to do something to get noticed. The character was my own. I didn’t have anyone write anything for me and I do that today as well… As for the spinner belt, I keep trying to evolve the WWE Championship and I just have to get the right people to listen. I think the spinner belt is outdated and gaudy.”
Steve Austin’s Influence On Him: “Steve was always very brief with me.I was always star struck and unable to speak whenever I was around him. He would always bring me down to earth with humbling advice.” Cena added, “He’s the reason I keep working hard everyday. I owe a lot to Steve Austin.”
