Vic Joseph Says John Cena Massively Helped Him When He Was New

John Cena is a 16-time World Champion and carried the company on his back throughout the PG era. From 2017 John Cena became a part-timer in WWE and has appeared sporadically due to his busy schedule in Hollywood.

John Cena has accomplished everything there is to accomplish in WWE and has certainly contributed a lot to the pro wrestling business. On top of that, he is a great human being and is always open to helping those in need, be it inside or outside the squared circle.

While speaking on WWE After The Bell, WWE commentator Vic Joseph talked about how John Cena helped him out massively when he first started working in the company.

“When John Cena came back on Raw, the WWE Universe didn’t hate him. They were appreciating him because we all know time is of the essence here. There is one person who is undefeated and it’s father time. We all better enjoy who John Cena is and what he’s done for this industry.

his isn’t me gushing on it. I’ve never told this story publicly. The first day I did 205 Live, I was told there is two guys where if you see them, you say hi to them. JBL, because he will remember if you walk by and don’t say hi, and John Cena because he sees everything. I happen to see Cena and I went up and said, ‘Mr. Cena, I’m Vic Joseph, I’m new and I’m doing 205 Live tonight and I wanted to introduce myself.’ He goes, ‘You’re new? I’m going to watch the show.’ I’m thinking he’s not going to watch the show. We do the show and I’m leaving, he’s still in the locker room area or wherever and I walk by and I said, ‘John, nice to meet you.’ He says, ‘Vic, come here.’ He walked me over and sat and talked with me about what I did for that hour. ‘Know the stories, know the transitions, you had this, don’t say this, lay out here.’ He ran through it all. A man who is a bonafide movie star and a multiple time world champion, easily on the Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling and WWE, (he) took the time to not leave the arena and (instead) listen to what I had to say on 205 Live. I’ll never forget that. That’s a story about who the man John Cena is, not what you see on TV.”

Vic Joseph has certainly come a long way since starting out in 2017 and on the other hand, John Cena is set to square off against Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view on August 21.
