Bull Riding News: Declaring Admiration for John Cena, PBR Rookie John Crimber Reveals the Truth Behind WWE

Exploring the contours of bull riding, the teen sensation from Texas John Crimber has achieved exceptional milestones. In his inaugural PBR Unleash The Beast event win in Jacksonville, his 90-point ride was highly regarded. Securing 148 points, he catapulted to the second position in the 2024 PBR World Championship standings. From winning Mini Bull Riders titles while he was 14, to clinching High School championships, he has excelled it all.

However, beyond bull-riding, Crimber has an interest in yet another adrenaline-filled sport, i.e., wrestling. In a recent interview, he delves into his inclination towards wrestling after attending a WWE event, especially his deep admiration for John Cena.

John Crimber talks about his views on wrestling

In episode 87 of the podcast available on the YouTube channel “According to Flint,” PBR rookie John Crimber joins the interviewer Flint to talk about various aspects of both his personal and professional life. This includes the influence of his father’s career, early success, and even his love for WWE.

Talking about his experience after attending the WWE event, he got insights into the behind-the-scenes, especially the preparation and teamwork. He also talks about how he likes John Cena, adding “I’ve always kind of watched you know John Cena and all the guys but I never really got into it.” Seeing the event live changed his perspective. He adds, “I got to go backstage and see what, how they’re in and out and all that stuff,” talking about how the preparations spanned out there.

He talks about how critical the entire wrestling phenomenon is, despite the dramatic storyline for entertainment purposes. Crimber elaborates, “But, like, the padding on the wrestling deal, it’s pretty hard, it’s not as soft as I thought. I thought it was like a trampoline or something, but it’s not…I have a lot more respect for them now.”

Navigating the bull-riding world

While his father’s influence and mentorship have helped Crimber propel his career, his own efforts also account for his phenomenal success. The 10-time PBR world championships finalist has carved his own niche in the bull-riding world. In the interview, he also discusses his practice routine. He makes sure to practice bull-riding at least once a week, generally on Wednesdays.
