00:00All right, this message is for the one and only, my friend, my brother, John Cena.
00:06John, Saturday, December 13th, the time has come.
00:10You are wrestling your final match in your unbelievably blessed and historic career.
00:18And I want to share a few things with you, man, before you go out and you, as we say in wrestling, tear the house down with Gunther.
00:25I want to say thank you.
00:27Thank you so much for your contributions, all of your accomplishments, your passion, your commitment to this wild and crazy world that's unpredictable and all the things that it is of professional wrestling that we love.
00:42And I want to thank you for that because I feel like, you know, you and I have this wild and crazy history.
00:48And, yes, we have spilled blood together in our matches.
00:52Literally, we have torn tendons.
00:54Literally, in our matches, we've broken records.
00:56And, man, that has been incredible.
00:58And I'll always be proud of that, what you and I were able to accomplish together as a team along with the rest of the rosters back during those days.
01:07And it was awesome.
01:09And that was rare air that we were able to breathe.
01:11And I will always be grateful for that.
01:14But the thing that I want to share with you, the most important thing that I realized over the years about our relationship and our bond and our friendship, the thing that I discovered about you that I love the most is your jorts.
01:26I'm only kidding.
01:28I love the jorts.
01:28The thing I love the most about you is that you're a good human being.
01:33And, man, that matters.
01:34And, you know what?
01:35The more I go down the road of life, the more we go down the road of life, you realize just how important being a good human being is and being kind to people and treating people nice and being nice to people.
01:46It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
01:49You epitomize that quote.
01:50So, brother, I want to thank you for everything you've done for our entire business, the WWE, this world of pro wrestling.
01:58And I also want to take a moment to acknowledge your family, the entire Cena family, because I know personally I grew up in this crazy world of professional wrestling.
02:07And I have experienced, like you, like all of us as wrestlers, we have experienced the challenges of wrestling.
02:14And when you become a wrestler, it becomes a family affair because everybody sacrifices in the family.
02:20So, Cena family, thank you for your sacrifices as well.
02:24I know you're very proud of John, as I am as well.
02:27Last thing for you, tonight, when you go out right before your music hits, I want you to remember the thing that you and I always talk about before we go out through the curtain and before you and I have done our dance in many arenas and stadiums across the country.
02:40Do you remember that thing that we say to each other?
02:42Not that part about, hey, let's have some tequila and moonshine after the match.
02:47No, the other part.
02:49Have fun.
02:50Go have fun.
02:51John Cena, you are the GOAT.
02:53Go have fucking fun and tear that house down, man.
