John Cena was a guest on the Opie & Anthony radio show this morning, and while it was mostly playful banter, Cena did cover some interesting ground.

A couple of months ago, Cena was quoted in the UK Sun as saying the following: "“What I kind of get peeved about — and this is my Achilles’ heel — is that I've wanted to do this my whole life. At one point Rock loved wrestling and wanted to do this all his life. So explain to me why he can't come back."

O&A producer Sam Robert asked Cena to clarify his statement today, and Cena reiterated much of the same. He said although he believes that the Rock always wanted to be an actor, his "beef" was that he said he'd never leave wrestling behind, and he very clearly has. He said Rock's about face "makes my job harder" because nobody believes him when he says he will always remain a part of pro wrestling, even if he finds success in acting. He said it's similar to the way that nobody believes he doesn't do steroids because fans have "pre conceived notions."

"I'll find a way to make it work," said Cena, who said has a passion for working in front of live crowds on a regular.

On the subject of steroids, Cena said that the proof that he doesn't use them is that he has remained the same size even as other wrestlers' bodies have gotten smaller over the years.

Asked whether he's be interested in taking part in mixed martial arts, he said while he had "nothing but respect" for MMA fighters, he has no desire to compete in their sport. He said he couldn't accept training for six months for a fight that might last just 30 seconds and end with him getting his "a-- kicked." He said he loves going out night after, wrestling as many as 270 dates a year.

Asked by a caller what he does to relax when he's stressed out, he said he'll often tip back some Coors Lights at a local bar, work on his muscle cars, or visit "an establishment of ill repute." Asked by the hosts if he was serious, he said he was.

I can just see Cena walking into a brothel with a wad of cash of exclaiming, "The champ is here!"

So now you know. As I've said in previous threads, I don't blame The Rock, I've wished that he'd come back to WWE more often, but after seeing him at the Hall of Fame, he was great with the crowd and I'll take that as his exit.

I can see 1 more appearance by him. In 5 years when he's inducted.

Cena sounds like an honest and grounded guy...gotta respect him for that. But only time will tell if he's being truthful

Yes, he does seem like an overall good guy. Of course, he's from the northeast.. so it makes sense that he'd be cool to chill with.
