WWE News: Former WWE Superstar Accuses John Cena of Working Stiff

John Cena has come under great scrutiny in the past few weeks due to accusations from previous WWE superstars regarding his behavior in, and out of the ring.

On Friday, speaking to Inside the Ropes radio, former superstar Chris Masters became the latest to discuss the company's No. 1 guy, accusing him of working stiff in their matches (h/t Wrestlinginc.com).

"That guy had some heavy fists," he revealed.

"...I remember at the Elimination Chamber I felt like I was in a real shoot fight. It's not that he's bad, he just gets really fired up and he's got big hands, he doesn't realise his own strength."

Masters departed the WWE in 2011, having attempted to make a comeback after originally being released in 2007 having failed the company's Substance Abuse and Drug Policy for a second time.

Although his return was underwhelming, and he was criticised by some for his lack of bulk, many spoke highly of how Masters had rebounded from his earlier troubles to rise back to the top so soon.

Also in the interview, Masters spoke of Vince McMahon's influence backstage, and what he thinks of the man.

"He's the guy that put this stuff together. They're an odd family. They are good at business. People who are business savvy tend to come off a little cold."

Masters currently works on independent circuits, as well as for TNA's Indian branch, the Ring Ka King promotion.

He remains close friends with several WWE superstars, though, most notably Randy Orton, who had personally recommended that Vince re-hire him in 2009.

A second comeback, however, looks unlikely for Masters.
