And Virginia @sheamusfanorg for the Tweet!

FanHouse had the opportunity to chat with John Cena before he participated as a celebrity judge along with Tony Parker and Erin Andrews in the Gillette Fusion ProGlide "Ultimate Summer Job" Contest on Tuesday. Interviewed by Tom Herrera, he was asked:

It's been a different time for WWE, with The Undertaker getting injured, Shawn Michaels retiring, even Batista leaving. So how has it been adjusting, since we've seen a lot of moving parts with the superstars, and who do you think -- and I read you were a fan of Evan Bourne -- who do you really think is gonna step it up to the next level?

Well I hate to label myself with veteran status, but I've been around here long enough, this is kind of the situation I was brought into the WWE under in 2002. They just had a lot of their roster move on, they just changed the name of the company, they just fizzled out the WCW takeover. There was a lot of changing of the guard going on in 2002, and here we are eight years later and it seems like we're at that junction again. I just want to make sure from my standpoint that our best folks are getting the chance. I love Evan Bourne. I think he loves the WWE, he's a very energizing and entertaining personality, and I think he has a bright future in WWE.

And here's the good part!

As much as I hate to say it, what Sheamus has accomplished in six months is something I haven't seen since ... man, since Steve Austin became "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

Sheamus Mentions Austin as One of the Greatest Wrestlers' of All Time In New UK Interview

Who’s the single greatest wrestler of all time?

(Pauses) There’s so many. (Sheamus briefly apologises for eating the ice from his Coca Cola.) It’s hard to single out just one. You’ve got ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, the Rock, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Bret ‘the Hitman’ Hart, the Undertaker, Randy Savage – for me, those guys are some of the best. Andre the Giant for what he was – he was a huge star at the time. I can’t say that there’s one greatest superstar of all time but I can tell you that *I* will be the greatest superstar of all time!
