Sean Legacy points to his biggest influences in wrestling.
Sean Legacy is one of several WWE ID talent who has begun to become established on both EVOLVE and NXT television in recent weeks. Legacy is currently also the number one contender for the WWE NXT North American Championship.
While speaking on A Bite Size Chat, Sean was asked about his biggest influences in pro wrestling, naming Rey Mysterio and John Cena for different reasons.
"So the first person, which is kind of like me, is John Cena. He always preaches the thing. He always wears the shirt saying, never give up. So John Cena is the first one, he really got me really hooked to wrestling. I watched wrestling when I was really little. My dad watched it, and he introduced me to it, and the first wrestler I saw was Rey Mysterio, and I liked him. The only thing I could relate to him, though, was because I didn't understand wrestling, but he was tiny. So I was like, oh, okay, so small people can make it in wrestling. I was like, I like him. I like him. But as I got older and as I started getting it, it went straight into John Cena, cause I like John Cena a lot, but yeah, man, just what John Cena's message is in his promos about never giving up and giving it your all. I like that kind of stuff."
