Pro wrestling legend and ECW original Tommy Dreamer recently made an appearance on Busted Open Radio, where he talked about being blessed to work with 16-time World Champion John Cena early in Cena's pro wrestling career and how Cena was always a professional. Dreamer also revealed that John Cena went to him and even asked his permission to use his finisher as it was suggested by the WWE during a meeting but if Dreamer does not want him to use it, then he won't.
Tommy Dreamer said:
“I was blessed to work with John. It kind of was my deal when I worked with WWE. I worked with everyone when they first started on the road. John was always a professional.”
"I’ll tell you what stood out because this business is all about respect. It really is. Early on when they (WWE) first wanted to push John, he came to me and said, ‘They suggested in the meeting to use your finish as my finish. I wanted to come to you. If you don’t want me to do it, I won’t do it.’ I was like, ‘I appreciate you so much for coming to me. I’m not winning with it and obviously they want you to do it, so run with it.’ Just to come to another person and say that, was super cool because he cared when he didn’t have to care.”
