Mark Henry Recalls Driving John Cena on Day One

Mark Henry, a WWE Hall of Famer recently entertained fans with an interesting story of his initial interaction with John Cena by disclosing a surprising trait that the wrestler had during his early days in professional wrestling.

According to Henry, during an interview with Denise Salcedo, he offered Cena a lift to their hotel on the first day of training at Ohio Valley Wrestling. Henry, who is known for his powerful presence in the ring as well as his long experiences as a professional wrestler couldn’t believe it when Cena made such an unusual choice in terms of diet.

“I remember that on his first day, John refused to drink water; instead, he was sipping diet soda all through,” said Henry. I also added, “At that time, John was on a diet he must have been preparing for bodybuilding, or he liked staying lean”.

What surprised me was that he did not even take a sip of water throughout this period, only Diet Mountain Dew.

John Cena Unusual Diet

Henry, however, intervened by suggesting that Cena should consider taking water instead.

“I told him ‘man you need to drink some water’. But John would just say ‘Nah this makes me pee if I drink water am gonna hold it.’ I couldn’t believe it; I responded, saying ‘come on man human body does not run on Diet Mountain Dew alone.

The first advice from every doctor is about drinking water,” remembered Henry. However, despite these warnings, Cena remained calm and said, ‘I’ll be alright.’ Accordingly, there are times henry reminds Cena about what happened back then although cena did not like it very much.“Most times when i see him i will ask him if has taken His diet mountain dew? And mostly He replies by saying i was young and stupid”, laughed henry.
