John Cena is one of the most famous WWE Superstars of all time. Cena has managed to turn his name into an international brand. He is recognized as one of the finest entertainers to emerge from WWE. Notably, Cena is another WWE Superstar who has thanked Eddie Guerrero for his guidance and knowhow on several occasions.

Cena appeared on the After the Bell podcast with Corey Graves where he spoke about the time when Eddie Guerrero competed against him for 25 minutes in South Africa. During the match, he revealed some secrets that helped him grow as a wrestler.

"I remember the first time Eddie was like, 'Okay, just you and me here tonight. I'll see you out there tonight.' It was an outdoor tennis court in South Africa, and we went 25 minutes, and it was awesome. He was kind enough after the match, and I would be like, 'Eddie I heard this out there, why did you tell me to do that?' And that's when his face lights up like, 'Okay, now I get to tell you some of the secrets. This is what you do, this is what you don't do, this is why I did this, did you hear when they were like this, and I said this, and I said shut up, and don't do anything that's because we missed it. It was too late.' So, like, that's how I learned to wrestle."
