During a recent edition of ‘The ARN Podcast’, former WWE agent and wrestling legend Arn Anderson discussed John Cena originally choking out talent when started to implement the STF into his moveset. Anderson told Conrad Thompson the following. John Cena was ‘upset’ with this WrestleMania booking.
“I gave him the move because I saw it in Japan,” Anderson said. “I thought it was a tremendous finish. You trap the guy’s leg, his knee is bent uncomfortably, and then you reach up and you hook him around the jaw. Apparently he did snug it up when he first started using it and some guys said ‘Hey man, you’re choking me out, you need to loosen up.’”
In other news regarding the future WWE Hall of Famer and leader of Cenation, during a recent appearance on ‘The Tonight Show’ With Jimmy Fallon, Cena stated that he is looking to come back to WWE ‘as soon as he can’. Cena told Fallon the following: “Right now I’m doing this, I’m filming Peacemaker, and that’s gonna take a lot of my time,” Cena said. “I can’t bounce back and forth due to international restrictions, so at least for the time being, I’m and here and I’m still away from WWE. But I very much look forward to returning as soon as I possibly can.” John Cena vs. Goldberg was pitched for WrestleMania.
