Cena Says Has “Absolutely Not” Used Steroids & More

WWE.com has posted the part of Wednesday’s CNN special that featured John Cena, where the former champ looked pretty bad re: his answer to the steroids question… next to the unedited interview, along with the below statement:

Cena: Steroids? “Absolutely not”
In a country in which the news media is highly suspect, and the quality of unbiased reporting has been thrown into the trash can, CNN has stooped to new depths. Notwithstanding the fairness, or lack therein, of CNN’s recent piece entitled “Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling,” perhaps the best example of how CNN misrepresents and unfairly presents their biased, if not illegal, point of view is the comparison of WWE’s unedited video above to CNN’s edited version. CNN’s depiction of John Cena as it relates to steroids is not only professionally and morally wrong, but damaging to his character.

In related news, the CNN reporter who interviewed Vince and Linda McMahon for the show talks about the experience here (MP3 file).

Unrelated, WrestlingObserver.com has reported that Val Venis was scheduled to undergo elbow surgery today (Friday). We wish him a quick and full recovery.

Also, The Rock’s new movie Southland Tales is now coming out on November 14. The Village Voice has a story on it here.
