The professional wrestling careers of John Cena and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson have constantly been compared to one another as both men are two of the more polarizing wrestlers to ever grace the land of sports-entertainment. Both Cena and The Rock are currently solidifying their names in the acting world as well and have a number of projects lined up for 2019.

John Cena has been making the rounds on the media circuit promoting the 'Bumblebee' movie that he's starring in and during the promotional run Cena spoke with 'The Floor Seat' and revealed the best advice that he was given by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

“The Rock has been genuine enough to tell me to be myself. I think it was great advice. It came right at a time when I needed it. I tried some movies before, and they weren’t really successful." Cena said. "The reason I was doing those movies was trying to create a business model. Then I looked back at myself and realized I just like telling stories. He gave me some pretty cool advice at unbelievable timing. He said: ‘Hey man, they’re going to like you, or hate you, for you. Be yourself. At least that way at the end of the day you’ll feel good about your body of work.’”
