A word of advice from John Cena proved to be crucial when forming the Blackpool Combat Club, according to Bryan Danielson.
The group debuted in March of last year and consists of Danielson, Jon Moxley, ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta.
Sitting down with Sports Illustrated, Danielson recalled the advice of John Cena to surround himself with like-minded wrestlers. He said,
“It was actually John Cena who I first heard say this–you become the five people you spend the most time around. So who do you want to become? The guys taking everything lightly? Or the guys, from a storyline perspective, taking this seriously and working to become the best?”
In the interview, Danielson spoke about his love for the group and keeping in contact with William Regal. You can check out his comments here.
