However, it should also be pointed out that the quote above may qualify as biting the hand that feeds him.
John Cena’s first four movies, including those early action movies he’s not proud of, were produced by WWE Films, the production company run by the folks who give Cena his day job.
While Cena has been taking more and more time away from the WWE ring these days, he still qualifies as a wrestler who makes movies, as opposed to an actor who wrestles on the side.
It’s unlikely that WWE would appreciate “the face that runs the place” bad-mouthing The Marine, considering the company has made four sequels in the franchise, though all with different wrestlers in the lead.
