Good for WWE. They have to protect themselves and they're doing a hell of a job of it by having their own footage of these interviews for insurance purposes.

Remember the unedited footage of Vince on Real Sports with Bryant Gumble? It showed that it took Vince much more than just a simple question to throw Gumble's papers around.

I really do need to see the unedited version of that interview.

Unfortunately, no matter how many questions were asked....I think Vince did act like a jerk. You act like that unless you want to be potrayed as a bully.

Cena should have handled it like this:

CNN: Have you taken steroids?

Cena: No


His answers were WAY too long, elaborate and very easy to distort.

With media interviews, short and concise is the way to respond.

I would think that they could sue for defamation of character.

then they would've asked more questions till they got what they wanted to.

If he answered like that the interviewer would've said "do you care to elaborate on that?" to which cena either would've elaborated on it and be edited to look bad or he would've said "no" and that sounds bad as well.

cena did the right thing, sadly the media didn't.

I think if you want this story to get noticed more, I think we should all send bill o'riley the link and have him attack cnn. this is something that's right up bill's ally.

Nah, because he's a paranoid nut.

If they asked Cena to elaborate, he should have just said "there's nothing I can add to that"

I'm very happy to see that we have the unedited version of the interview now. They definitely made me think that Cena was hiding something. I'm disappointed that CNN would do something like this. I'd expect these kind of offbeat shenanagans from Extra or Inside Edition or the Insider, but not a reputable news organization. Although nothing really surprises me anymore these days regarding stuff like this.

I really think I should elaborate and say that it wasnt the slapping of the papers that got me......although that did get my attention. It was the mocking tone Vince McMahon had in his voice that seemed very much like something only a bully would do.

Interviewer: Mr. Cena, do you take steroids.

Cena: I take.........STEROIDS......all the time.

Interviewer: So your telling me you do use steroids.

Cena: I take.........STEROIDS......all the time.

*camera cuts to a wall*

Interviewer: Mr. Cena.....what are you doing with that needle!

Cena: Taking my..........STEROIDS.

Interviewer: Mr. Cena no! Steroids are bad!

Cena: I love..............STEROIDS!

Interviewer: Mr. Cena, calm down, No...No....NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Mr. Cena put me down, HELP......SECURITY!!!

*camera cuts back to the interviewer laying on the ground out cold, but strangley wearing a different suit then he was "moments ago" in the interview*

*Cena reappears on screen*

Cena: I love.........Vince McMahon.....s......sweeeet.....can....sweet....can.

Don't forget the part when they change the tint of the picture so John Cena appears to be colored green after he injected himself. They may also add stock footage of Lou Ferrigno smashing cars as well.

I can't believe CNN would be that low. They did a real good job on making Cena look bad. I was looking at youtube comments replying to the interview and they were saying stuff like "Just say no". CNN needs a foot in the ass.

[Garee]

It's really crazy how the media twists things, I'm glad they put this up

[MGH]

I take back what I said in regards to Cena following that special. That was a pathetic hatchet job done to get that quote.

[Mister Pigwell]

Wow Cena and WWE really balled up here. Kudos to releasing this.

Not really anymore... He owns like 3% of it now since the AOL/Time Warner merger

[twiggy101]

Now that CNN is caught trying to mislead, what are we going to do about it?

[Red Impact]

Ouch. Things like this that makes people trust us journalists less than used car salesman and politicians.

[HRH The KING]

How many viewers do these US cable news channels actually attract anyway?

Really slik you're WAY out of date with that reference.

[redbull]

This is just gonna make it a whole alot worse when proof comes out that Cena took roids.
