John Cena Wants John Cena Classic To Be Like ‘Enter The Dragon’ Without All The Death

John Cena wants his tournament to live up to ‘Enter The Dragon’.

For the uninitiated, ‘Enter The Dragon’ is a classic Bruce Lee action film that was released in 1973. In the film, a character named Han uses a martial arts tournament as a front for his criminal activities.

Speaking with Uncrowned/Yahoo Sports for a new interview, Cena revealed that he wants his Classic to resemble the tournament aspect of the film.

“Sometimes all people need is just to get out there. Honestly, that’s the motivation behind the John Cena Classic. I want to create an annual event where we showcase the best and brightest from NXT against the best and brightest from WWE. Kind of like ‘Enter the Dragon’ without all the death. I want to put together a heck of a card and I want to let the future of the business run.”

Elsewhere in a separate interview, John Cena talked about choosing Zilla Fatu and Cody Rhodes for the John Cena Classic. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
