Cena considers Orton the "Best performer of his generation"

CMpunked

Good interview here.

Cena is honest, i dont think you could say Shoot interview seeing as he doesnt have a character as such.

One of the most interesting points is how he speaks about Randy Orton:

Randy Orton has been on an incredible roll as of late. I know that you and Randy came up together. Did the two of you ever sit around in Ohio Valley Wrestling and say, “One day, we’ll be headlining WrestleMania?”
No. As a matter of fact, when we were in OVW, we thought we wouldn’t make it out of Kentucky. I don’t want to say we were two lost souls, but we were surrounded by talent that was one of the greatest developmental units to ever be assembled. I think WWE started the developmental system in the mid ’90s, and that class of 2000 through ’02 I think is the most successful that has ever been. We were literally just two average guys among some very gifted performers, and never once did we think we’d be headlining WrestleMania.
What do you think about Orton’s performances recently?
I’ve said this before and I said this before his – what is this, his fifth or sixth “breakout?” – that he is the best guy we’ve got. He is certainly the best performer of my generation.

He also speaks about The Marine 2, 12 Rounds, The Rock and turning heel.

He is right. Orton is the #1 asset in WWE today.

You gotta love Cena - he tells it how it is

I've always thought of Orton being a bit .... bland.
