John Cena's unedited CNN interview

[Steveweiser]

So much for that "full" unedited interview, at one point, a technician changes film and moves things round, the next second, he disappears completely.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

I don't believe for a second that Cena didn't use roids, but he needs to sue or something over that edited sham.

How long until Vince starts a new faction ala RTC to bust on CNN?

[Miz-Wannabe]

I respect John Cena so much... John Cena is a great person, and a great wrestling champion. Just listening to the interview and how he handled himself makes you respect him.

[Cela]

So why is Kelly Kelly interviewing him?

Where you can complain.

More proof that CNN is not really a "news" organization.

It can come complete with a mystery figure, ala the shadow figure from the documentary.

[macdaddysquid]

is this on youtube? for some reason it doesn't play on my brand new computer.

[voiceboxisback]

I wonder if they edited Punk's interview....

This is grounds for a defamation suit, and lays the groundwork for a charge of defamation of character.

sadly there's not much he can do. News organizations have done this for YEARS to much more powerful people. They def. know their "rights" and know just how far they can push it.

[Redbeard's Ghost]

CNN is garbage. Every single news story they do is biased. They are a completely unreliable news source.

Cena handled that interview like a gentleman and a professional. I believe he is a credit to this business.

[Steveweiser]

I'm surprised they didn't edit it like...

Interviewer: So, Mr Cena, did you ever take steroids?
Cena: Absolutely... (cut)

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.

He's saying that he's in a no win situation. That if he says he didn't take roids you won't believe him then if he shows you how he passes test you won't accept those, that's the just of what he was trying to say.

[Sephiroth]

Cena HAS used roids. I am certain of that. No, I do not have any blood test results or any such evidence to prove. But I mean, honestly, look at the guy! He is a former bodybuilder, and so it is not surprising at all. I do not think he uses them constantly, I do not think he abuses them, and I do believe he works his ass off the gym. But I think it is safe to say that he has played around with roids before, and likely will again. I say the same thing about The Rock.

I did. Here is my letter to CNN

"I am completely disgusted with CNN and the recent special "Steroids in Professional Wrestling". I used to believe that CNN was the ONLY news station left were the truth was told, apparently that isn't so.

After watching your special I could not believe the comments made by one John Cena. It almost didn't seem real. And as it turns out, it wasn't. Due to some very poor editing choices I (and the rest of the world) interpreted his comments to mean something entirely different. Basically CNN lied to me. You took someone’s very heart felt comments and turned them upside down. And for what? Ratings? I thought CNN was above that.

I'm thankful for the unedited footage, made available by the WWE, so that this story can be set straight.

I will no longer be viewing any of your programming, as I feel I can no longer trust any of what I seen on your station. I will also be telling everyone I know that CNN misconstrues information to suit whatever political agenda they may have.

Professional wrestling admits that it’s fake, I think its high time CNN does the same."

Going back to my Homer reference, are we gonna get a new Time Warner funded movie, "John C: Portrait Of A Steroid User"?

With Mark Whalberg as Cena.

[joeman]

Mark Whalberg better start "roiding up"

[repomark]

This is a hugely disgusting and damning indictment of the American media. I am shocked and appaled at how someone who has given up their time to give a heart felt and honest interview could be so dishonestly and unscrupulously slanderred in this way. I am genuinely angry about the whole thing - and it is something that CNN should be made to apologise for and in a high profile manner.

Cena plainly did not deserve this - whatever your opinion of him. My opinion of him has only grown following this debacle.
