When Bruce Prichard talked wrestlers loudly calling spots in-ring on his pod, he mentioned John Cena and repeated that today's mics are way more sensitive than they once were. Still, WWE's creative guru and Executive Director thinks JC could've been more "discreet and quiet" about things.

At WrestleMania XXVI, the whole world heard Cena talk Batista through some stuff during their World Heavyweight Title cracker. It definitely wasn't "discreet". John sold big Dave's attempt to rip his arms clean off, but didn't want his peer to let go too soon. That's why he shouted (facing the camera) for Batista to "hold on".

It gets better.

Cena returned to selling and grimaced in pain, then paused it again to remind Batista to "hit [his] back" and shut down a comeback bid. Surely, both guys knew that they were facing the ringside cam at the time. Apparently, they didn't care.
