One of John Cena’s arch-rivals, Booker T discussed John Cena’s retirement on a recent edition of his Hall of Fame podcast.

Booker naturally had a ton of praise for Cena on the show, and he would even label the WWE icon as “the GOAT”:

“He's put in the work. He's the GOAT. He's done so much for the business, man. He really has. He's been an ambassador in so many ways. A lot of people don't see the work that John Cena did to get to that point where he is now, as far as this level of stardom in professional wrestling as well as Hollywood... He always took it and made something out of it."

The former World Champion continued by saying:

“From statistics and ticket sales, yeah, hell yeah. I’m not looking at guys going out and titles and all that. I'm talking about statistics and ticket sales. He's done more than most. Is he in the conversation? Hell yeah, most definitely is. You know, so that's without a question. Without any shadow of a doubt...It's way longer than (Steve) Austin. You framed it properly in the conversation. Yes, without a shadow, without a question.”
