On a recent episode of the Something to Wrestle With Podcast, Vince McMahon's favourite 'yes man' WWE creative force Bruce Prichard regaled listeners with a story of how we was put in charge of overseeing the premiere of John Cena's first film - the WWE Studios feature The Marine - back in 2006. 

Big Brucey P was called in on three days notice since Vince apparently didn't have the confidence in anyone else to run the show. 

After the premiere was over, the star of the movie kept the celebrations going back at the hotel bar. This did not end well for the man FKA as Brother Love. 

As Prichard tells it, the drinking resulted in him not making a scheduled flight for the first time in his long career. 

"We were celebrating, and of course we got back to the bar in the Marriott in San Diego and Cena kept the bar open for us, and so we're celebrating, having a good time, and they're doing shots.  

I don't do shots. John's like, 'Bruce, it's my first movie, it could be my last movie, do a shot with me'. So I did the 'Ric Flair' and I tossed the shot and he caught me. He's like 'I've never been so insulted'. And it was a Dirty Sanchez, which is tequila and some other crap. Tequila does not sit well with me, there's something about it, man, that can make you get metaphysically crazy drunk, and I did it with him. Then we sat together and we did every shot making sure that the other one was drinking everything that they had in it.

Long and short of it is I woke up in my bed, tucked in. When I say tucked in, I was put in my bed in my suit, shoes still on, tie still on, in my suit, and the covers tucked into the bed. So that when I started to come to and started to get up, it's like everything's tied down. Not tied down, but tucked into the bed and sheets. 

Cena had apparently got me back to the room, put me in bed, tucked me in, took my briefcase, and put what he thought was my phone on my briefcase, and I guess went and tucked in everybody else he needed to tuck in. When I woke up, it was 3:45 in the afternoon the next day. It is the one and only time I had ever missed a flight, especially going home by waking up late or doing something stupid like that. So my entire career, I had never missed a flight and that was the one and only time that I actually missed the flight for not being able to get to the flight. I know that I had wake-up calls and alarms and all that sh*t set".

John, if you're reading this, you're invited to the next (first?) Cultaholic.com Lads on Tour, er, tour. I can't wait for you to tuck us all in.
