John “Bradshaw” Layfield was one of John Cena's rivals on his way to WWE stardomone of the great rude who tried to detain the great hero. They shared the quadrilateral on almost a hundred occasions, highlighting when “The Champ” won the United States Championship andn WrestleMania 21.
► Favorite tickets in Wrestlemania
The current undisputed champion remembered that occasion while talking recently in the Fan Expo Dallas About his favorite entries in “The Grandest Stage of Them All”, revealing that the member of the Hall of Fame inspired him To create spectacular presentations:
«The truth, I really liked the last one (Wrestlemania 41) because it was super simple. Totally basic. I started making spectacular tickets in Wrestlemania because no one else was doing it. I remember that my first star event for the world title was against JBL. He came out in a limousine, throwing tickets with his face. We rehearsed his entrance and I was looking at all that thinking: 'This is incredible'. I turned and asked: 'And my entrance?' And he, without flinching, replied: 'You will win … with that enough.'
I loved the show I put together, and I thought: 'This is Wrestlemania, a huge event that asks the fan, so I want to return something special'. I wanted each entry to be unique, different. Today many do striking things, and it's great. That is why this year I wanted to do the opposite: something as simple and sober as possible. And I really liked that.
«Although, thinking about it, I have to correct myself. I had the opportunity to take the stage with 50 children from the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Wrestlemania. Nothing compares with the view from the tunnel when you see the stadium to burst, a total madness. And being able to share that moment with close friends … It was something huge. Very special. “
