Dolph Ziggler was interviewed by Doug Mortman and Dave LaGreca earlier this week and gave his thoughts on a variety of topics but one that stood out was his kind words for John Cena. The two men have wrestled several times and it’s good to hear about the charity work that Cena does to give back to the fans.

“The only guy I think that rivals me in hard work, as much as I hate his guts is John Cena. He works for us every night. He constantly is doing something with Make a Wish. He is constantly doing a signing. He is constantly out there every night doing as hard as he can. He is not as good as me, but I appreciate his hard work. I personally don’t like him and that’s cool, but he has done his job and he doesn’t take days off. He does things for our company that we don’t even hear about.

He is probably home one or two days a month. He probably goes home and pays his bills. I appreciate that because I define myself as the hardest working man in sports entertainment. Like I said the only guy that rivals me is John Cena because he has done it longer, and the fact that whether you like him or not and hilariously most of us hate him. ‘Oh, no, it’s John Cena again and his five moves, whatever.’ But he goes out there every night and he gives every ounce of energy that he possibly can. That’s why I appreciate it because I find myself to be the up and coming hardest working man in sports entertainment.”
