Earl how’re things for you now a days?

[@THEREALEARLHEBNER]

@@dcoffeycreates314 well bud I turned 74 on the 17th and it's been almost a year since Dave passed away. Honestly I feel lost without him. Y'all are going to think I'm nuts but I have been enjoying listening and watching all the entertaining wrestling podcasts and KZbin channels. I hope that answered your question son. Stay safe and have a great day.

This is the most I have ever respected an empty suit....

Cena was where Suplex City was born

[@Erricane]

Beating the Undertaker's streak is by far the only way to immortalize yourself in WWE.

[@rayroc480]

I Love this Man!

[@BrotherTonyshow]

I have a brand new respect for John Cena. I take back every bad thing I've ever said. I apologize. He should be helping with booking. AEW hire this man.

[@levy9595]

He's never going to AEW lol

[@darkmeme2289]

he's a Wwe loyal

[@joetheman8550]

Vince would come out of the shadows and burn down Jacksonville, Florida if that happens lol

[@pooyaazim193]

The amount of wisdom and greatness of this man. Truly of a kind and of GOATS.

[@normaljim]

Huh for being one of the most controversial wrestlers mostly during the 2010s but still kind of now. He knows a lot about how to make someone a star. Cuz let's not forget whenever John Cena majorly put someone over. It was always seeing as a huge deal because he was into it most likely

[@austinm8823]

I absolutely love the Arm Anderson shout out.

[@joyiswhatIwantedtofeel]

That makes perfect sense

[@ivangarcia958]

Its crazy how open the WWE got on how fights get determined.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

Cena is a smart dude

[@corywittamori896]

He sees the game so completely

[@alexmarvel4682]

It's amazing to see that John Cena is very self-aware about this I remember people always talking about doing stuff like this yes that is the right way to book someone now and days everyone just wants to have this amazing five-star match but sometimes simplistically things are better this way

[@ChawlieJR]

That's the mentality of wrestling in a nutshell.. multiplied energy of ideas.

[@Jorgedelaselva]

John cena true professional and knows how and when to pass a torch and put someone over. Really only Cena at that time could take those suplexs anyway

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Roman took them a few months later

[@jandalznz9668]

The man learned from the legend Arn Anderson himself. That's awesome

[@cosmixfire3176]

The problem is that Lesnar of 2004 can did everything. Incredible moves. Now they imposed 4 moves only.

[@user-zq8up2zq9g]

Kid : Let’s go cena 😂

[@paladin1726]

Brilliant man.

[@Jacev_]

I felt like I was alone on this take when Taker's streak ended. So many people talked about the streak being wasted on Brock and I remember getting criticized into oblivion when I said that Brock breaking the streak meant that he was able to use that momentum in a way where others can benefit as well as use the streak in a way where we wouldn't predict. I remember that Summerslam match vividly when Lesnar tossed Cena around and I kept saying; "They're still using Taker's streak. Now it's being used to turn Lesnar into a monster". I talked about how Reigns was now using the momentum of the streak when he unified the titles by beating Brock which gave more credibility to him holding the titles for as long as he has. Hearing Cena say this vindicates my stance lol

[@via_negativa6183]

If not Brock who else? Hes the only one that made sense to do it, and he was obviously getting to the end of his time. It was the right decision.

[@InvisibleHotdog]

Lesnar was already a monster and S-tier name. Who got made by facing and beating Lesnar after?

[@ChadBenjamin]

​@@InvisibleHotdogRoman, Seth and Drew.

[@InvisibleHotdog]

@@ChadBenjamin not even close. Seth cashed in MITB, Roman was 4 years later after fans got passed it, and Drew was even later than that

​@@InvisibleHotdogSaid nobody with functioning brain cells

[@Treevors30]

That's pretty dope of John Cena because an old school Shawn Michaels or an old-school Bret Hart would say yeah right that's not happening but it being the Undertaker one of the biggest names in wrestling then John Cena beats him honestly I think that's the right call like the Undertaker says it's business or should I say Mark Calaway

[@RobertRedway]

should have never broken the streak. but just shows how cool cena was. one of the GOATs

[@randomlyfactual1943]

Couldn't agree more

[@unsocialchain]

He had it all planned out and that's why we all liked him as a kid

[@nicoctane1669]

I loved wrestling my whole life. After seeing the stuff with Vince though it's clear they didn't make it the right way without doing very wrong things. I can't believe the wrestlers who made millions didn't know this stuff was going on but kept quiet for their own benefit. All respect I had for this whole sport is gone.

[@CanaleImprobabile]

The one time he actually applied this theory

[@tristanpotter2183]

And thats why i had to beat the Nexus

[@MA-rf6bu]

He didn’t have the same problem in 2012 Extreme Rules 😂

[@TheBubbaCook]

This is the best bit of advice and knowledge that anyone could give a wrestler!!

[@Qwizitis]

It’s crazy how you can hate someone for thinking he is someone cause of what you see. Then you learn why he did all of what he did how it impacted others and it wasn’t about him but everyone around him. You learn to respect and want to be like this man💯
