Batista on John Cena: "He Killed Hardcore, Edgy Wrestling"

In a recent interview conducted for The Chad Dukes show, former WWE Champion Batista had the following to say about John Cena:

"I think, you know, they did the whole PG direction thing, I think that works for Cena; the little kids love him, cause he’s a great character, he’s someone they can look up to. The girls love him, good looking guy, says all the right things, does all the right things, but the hardcore fans can’t stand him. He is Mr. Hokey, Mr. PG… to me; he killed hardcore, edgy wrestling."

Batista also had the following to say about his farewell WWE feud with John Cena:

"I was playing the part of the heel, but they were still booing the hell out of Cena. I really had to go that extra step to be a heel against this guy."
