John Cena on Austin Theory: “I could hear the silence of apathy when he would perform.”

John Cena is one of the all time greats of WWE. John Cena most of the time got cheers from fans but there were few incidents where fans booed him mercilessly.

John Cena wrestled Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39. During the buildup for that match, John Cena destroyed Austin Theory in promos, but Austin Theory had the last laughing by defeating John at WrestleMania 39.

John Cena recently was on WWE After The Bell podcast, where he talked about Austin Theory. John Cena feels Austin Theory is working towards connecting with audience.

“I never cared about the noise. My biggest fear was apathy. That non-focused silence. There’s the sound of focused silence, but that non-focused silence is when you’re dead in the water.”

“It was really one of my main points the last time we spoke when I was speaking about Austin Theory. Nothing I said about Austin Theory I wouldn’t say to his face. We still talk on a regular basis and I still try and bestow on him advice. I think he’s working more toward connecting with the audience. But I could hear the silence of apathy when he would perform.

“And I know it is because I had it plenty. I single-handedly ruined the Ruthless Aggression era by completely failing, by being the Ruthless Aggression guy and completely failing. So I know what apathetic silence sounds like and that was my one fear.” (H/T: SEScoops)
