It's easy to imagine that John Cena doesn't need to ask anybody for advice these days. A 16-time World Champion who is having a blast splitting time between WWE and Hollywood, Cena is a made man. Even so, he has always respected the opinion of Paul Heyman.

Yes, ECW's mad scientist is someone WWE's poster-boy-turned-locker-room-leader turns to when he has some concerns, and he's done that since the start of his main roster career in 2002.

Cena admitted this during the recent MegaCon Convention, and he said that Paul has always been there when he's needed most. At the same time, Cena disagreed with one fan's suggestion that they'd make a brilliant on screen pairing.

He has a point there. Both guys play different characters, but there's nothing stopping John from tapping into Heyman's wealth of knowledge behind the scenes.
