WWE legend Sgt. Slaughter recently revealed details about his role in mentoring John Cena during his initial time with the company. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Bill Apter, Slaughter explained that Vince McMahon personally asked him to teach Cena how to salute the crowd before his matches, a gesture that Cena has mastered exceptionally well.
“I taught him [John Cena] how to salute.

To see him and talk to him and see his success, and he doesn’t have a big head. I mean, he’s just the same as he was when he came in the first night,” he said.
