Release A “Last Time Is Now” Documentary

Does the world need a John Cena documentary? Probably not. Would it make for great television? WWE has proof of concept in The Last Ride, the successful docuseries that pulls the curtain back on the end of Mark Calloway’s legendary run as The Undertaker.

Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and the Chicago Bulls knew their dynasty was coming to a close in 1998, propelling them to a final NBA title, and inspiring them to allow a camera crew to film what would become The Last Dance. It proved to be appointment viewing that kept us all sane during the pandemic.

Cena and the WWE could use a similar formula: capture behind-the-scenes footage of the 47-year-old’s final run, intersperse it with talking head interview retrospectives, and flash back and forward from earlier moments of his momentous career.

The final chapter of Cena’s career has all the makings of being great. The story about that final chapter could be just as incredible.
