What John Cena said
Speaking during his recent appearance, “So it’s not a big team, which I’m grateful for. I don’t have a publicity department. I have a manager only because it’s me and him. We’re kinda like a two-prong fork. And an agency that goes out and tries to look for work, and I don’t put it past them, they’re just going on what they know. And what they know is, ‘This entity, this commodity gravitates toward these things, we should stay in this lane.’ But I’m not a commodity, I’m a human being, and I operate under the construct of every opportunity is an opportunity.”

But also to the agency’s credit, immediately they acquiesced. I’ve always operated under the philosophy of good work gets you another chance,” he said.
