#5 John Cena Sr. unhappy with WWE Hall of Fame induction

Kane was inducted in WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2021

John Cena Sr. has lately taken upon himself to share his opinion on WWE events. Recently, he criticized the promotion for conducting the Hall of Fame induction ceremony without fans. He believes that it is a ‘disservice’ to the inductees. Discussing the importance of fans at such events on Boston Wrestling MWF's Dan Mirade, John Cena Sr. said:

“You know what, if they don’t allow fans to attend, I think it’s a disservice to those who are being inducted. I think that it’s time now they rethink the process because it is a fan thing. It’s only for those people, men and women, who have earned their right and the privilege to be noticed beyond everyone else into that Hall of Fame, and it should be enjoyed by everyone. If you don’t have fans there and you don’t have people, it’s kind of like watching a wrestling match without anybody there, and kind of like a bad bottle of Fabo Pop [soda]. If it’s not right, it goes flat.”

The WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony was held last night. The star-studded event witnessed the induction of iconic superstars like Kane, Molly Holly, and The Bella Twins.
