In a long wide-ranging interview on Rick Rubin’s Tetragrammaton podcast, Paul Heyman talked about Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, John Cena, Vince McMahon, his own family, and tons more. It’s a very good interview that everyone should hear. Scroll down to listen to the entire interview. We have just a few transcribed highlights below.
Heyman talked about John Cena’s Make-A-Wish visits and having to be convinced to go public with what he was doing for the kids because for a long time he did them without the general public knowing.
“I don’t have the words to convey the admiration I have for John Cena as a human being,” Heyman said. “There had to come a point in time where Vince had to sit down with John and say, ‘You need to let me go public with these Make-A Wish visits. You have to. You know you’re hurting Make-A-Wish by not allowing me to do that because if people understood how much of your time you give to Make-a-Wish and to these kids, they’ll be inclined to contribute. They’ll be inclined to get involved. You will help them if you allow this’, because Cena never wanted to exploit it. He never wanted publicity for it. He never wanted recognition for it. He wanted to just do it. That’s a hero.”
In 2022, Cena set the record by granting 650 Make-A-Wish wishes. Click below to hear Heyman on Rick Rubin’s podcast.
