Recently, we have seen one such interesting turnaround of events. When a 25-year-old wrestler said he was better than his childhood hero, John Cena.

Theory has been pretty vocal about his wish to fight with the 16-time world champion. But, that being said, he has also mentioned John Cena as his role model in life. Further, he also made him his escape route during his troubled childhood.
Austin Theory on his childhood hero John Cena
Since Austin Theory was eight years old; he has been watching Cena and admired him for his personality. After meeting the wrestling legend one-on-one, he also appreciated his advice.
It’s surprising to see the admiration turn into a competition. However, he must have taken plenty of lessons by following his idol in wrestling. He can put all of those into action and try to reach a mark like that of John Cena.
Fans react to Theory’s statement
The unsaid relationship they shared was touching for the fans till Theory made some superior statements about himself. That too by comparing himself with the legends of WWE.

Both the Boston live crowd and fans on the internet got aggressive listening to what Theory said about his childhood hero. The next thing we witnessed was multiple retweets where fans poured out their emotions. Most of them were angry and said that Theory must not compare himself with the WWE legend, in their own words.
I think @_Theory1 flipped a lid and woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning he’s not better then John for one reason mainly John never treated fans like this ever. He said this once “They are the reason we are here”. They are the reason you are there Theory so respect https://t.co/0D8sTDge94
