WWE hall of famer JBL praised the 16-time world champion during the episode of “What Were They Thinking” on Backstage Pass. JBL also mentioned that he once told John Cena Sr. that only his son was capable of carrying the WWE on his back. 

“I’ve always thought that John had the hardest role of any champion in wrestling history because he followed the Attitude Era when you could curse, when you could drink, when you had women that were naked, and then you had guys that were cussing, like crazy. And he goes to the G-rated era after that and he’s got to carry the company. I believe your son is the only person that could have done that”.
