17 Things We Learned From John Cena On Chris Jericho's WWE Network Podcast
15. Traveling Buddies
We get a brief history lesson on who Cena traveled with during his early days in WWE - Funaki, Tajiri, Ultimo Dragon and Doug and Danny Basham, all crammed six deep in a minivan. The sextuplet christened themselves "Team Stay Cheap" due to their penchant for staying in the cheapest hotels they could find. Cena says that poor Ultimo Dragon - a man who has accomplished a tremendous amount in the business - arrives in the WWE and is relegated to being stacked alongside the luggage in the back of a minivan with a bunch of rookies. Then he calls out Tajiri for hiding his perfect English, getting caught ordering his favorite, the Burger King Whopper, with no accent whatsoever. Talk about a pretty eccentric group of traveling partners. Those guys would have probably been pretty fun to hang out with for a night or two.
