The art of professional wrestling and the art of comedy are tied together in numerous different ways, with several wrestlers getting themselves over due to their understanding of making fans laugh when they are performing, whether that is in the ring or in backstage segments. One man who is no stranger to both arts is John Cena, who has become a well known comedy actor in the movies space, as well as being one of the most legendary pro wrestlers to ever step in the ring.
While speaking to Eric Andre in an interview for GQ, John Cena was asked to name the similarities between the world of pro wrestling and comedy.
“Oh my God, so many. Performative in front of a live audience. You need to prep your ass off. You have to be able to pivot. You have to deal with chaos and anything that can happen. You start your profession in really seedy or questionable locations trying to hone your craft.”
Following their match at WrestleMania 39, Cena would push for an Austin Theory face turn. You can read more about that here.
