John Cena's unedited CNN interview

[s1mplemathematics]

daaaaamn. this is surreal. how can they broadcast an answer that is the exact opposite of his actual answer? slimy.


although i don't understand his wording when he says you can't prove it. i don't understand what he was trying to say.

what it seems to me like he was TRYING to say was that people are going to believe what they're going to believe and it dosen't matter what he says. theres no proof either way so the question is a crazy question to ask. it's loaded no matter how he answers it.

I know this is going into politics, but does this evidence show that everything the media and news shows as segments as bias to further there agenda? If so, how can anyone believe in anything?

I watch the Daily Show, that's how I believe in things.

But anyway, yeah CNN, way to be all about the journalistic integrity . I would've expected this kind of asshattery from Fox News moreso, but I guess nothing's sacred anymore, right?

[8-BitAssassin]

Wow, that's pretty low for CNN.

[nonrev]

maybe CNN edited Kennedy's interview too!

maybe he actually admitted to juicing in the interview but they knew he'd fall a lot harder and look like a fool after the suspension

anyways kudos to Cena

I tip my hat to him



unless his testimony was just the new and improved company line that all wrestlers must regurgitate on television, but hopefully that's not the case

For those of us who can't view video right now, anyone care to compare the edit with unedited?

The gist of it...

Edited:

"Did you take steroids?"
Cena: I can't say that I never have, but you can't prove that I have.


Unedited:

"Did you ever take steroids?"

Cena: "Absolutely not, and really... *cue really long statement about how any athlete who achieves something is automatically accused of steroids.*

Further *Cue another really long statement about how, no matter what he says or how many tests he takes, people will always accuse him of taking steroids from which the unedited answer was taken.*

I thank God for my natural abilities, etc etc"

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.

DRAMATIZATION: MAY NOT HAVE HAPPENED

I will say this:

I saw the firs two minutes and the last two minutes of CNN's documentry and it was the biggest piece of horseshit I have ever seen. And I'm glad Cena and the E called hem on it. Hopefully WWE learned a lesson, and the next time Larry King wants to kiss a "rassler's" ass for an hour, hopefully Vince will tell him to bug off!

BTW I wonder if CNN willl acknowledge that the "rasslin'" promotion that Vince ook of their greasy hands a few years ago, was full of drugged up competitors

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

Email CNN AND DEMAND AN APOLOGY

or threaten to make it the Gooker winner this year

I remember when Letterman aired a video of Bush speaking. In the background, a kid was extremely bored and moving around, swinging his arms, yawning, just being a kid....CNN accused Letterman of editting the kid into the footage. Letterman went on the air and demanded an apology from CNN since the footage was authentic. CNN did actually apologise.

You know, I still hate the character, but Cena gave a damn good interview. Very intelligent, thought out and most importatnly, correct.

I don't know what is more sad; The current state of news outlets, and their "journalism," or the fact that CNN is still one of the better news sites in the US, and they are terrible.

My first eye opener was 9/11 on how terrible journalism had become.

[Slim Loves Lily]

I'm trying to figure out the mystery wrestler. I made a MP3 of his voice and upped the pitch.

Doesn't sound really familiar.

[Topher is Human]

Man, tha'ts a huge difference. Gotta give alot of props to Cena here

[Allison Reynolds]

Big difference in reactions from this thread too:
officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=WWE&action=display&thread=1194487384

[pacino]

so we basically now just have footage of cena lying about not taking roids

ok prototype

[krazysane]

As a fan I am outraged that this happened. During the state of the wwe these past months, there is no need to do this to them. John Cena has a million even more fans that are kids. And they try to damage this by editing there footage. Its bs.

[wrestlecrapcrap]

Is there a reason people in the UK can't watch WWE.com videos? Or do I need to download something for them? Any video I ever try to watch on there says 'playing blank'.

Alternatively...has this been youtubed yet?

[Steveweiser]

The only videos UK fans can't see on WWE.com are Heat and ECW, due to TV rights issues.

Any reason I can't see these Cena interviews then?

This is why I'm glad I don't have to rely on US news to know what's going on in the world.
