How would Vin Diesel fare in WWE?
If you ask future WWE Hall of Fame legend and co-star with the actor in the new F9 film, John Cena, the lead star of the Fast and the Furious franchise "could literally be a WWE Champion tomorrow."
Cena made this statement during a recent interview with Vice, where he was asked how his F9 co-stars would fare in WWE, and to come up with wrestling names for the actors.
Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where he talks about this particular topic.
“So, we’re going to start with the easiest one: Vin Diesel. That name already says it all. He literally could be a WWE Champion tomorrow. I think you have to have something that sort of encapsulates your persona, or provides the audience with guidance based on first impressions. Vin is in great physical condition, and the way he operates in fights – I would know firsthand! – he’s very forward and he’s got the torque and power of a Diesel truck. So I honestly think that’s a fitting name. You wouldn’t have to change a thing.
“The whole cast of F9 are kind of like WWE superstars in their own right. The movie is kind of built for that, and I think that’s one of the interesting things about the franchise. You look at both entities – WWE being globally successful and Fast & Furious being globally successful – they kind of stick to their core but aren’t afraid to expand. They’re very similar.”
