You Won't Like The WWE When They're Angry

This past week, CNN did a special called "Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling" and needless to say the WWE was not happy with it, even though two of their superstars (John Cena and CM Punk) and Vince and Linda McMahon were interviewed. There was one clip from the special that really angered them.

This is the interview in its entirety



This is the CNN edited version



Well it's clear that John Cena got railroaded worse than Homer Simpson on "Rock Bottom". The WWE released a statement on their website to respond to this railroading of their main moneymaker.

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.


But what I don't get why John Cena had to say the ridicuous thing that he did, like just say no and move on. Of course they'd use that line in the show. The WWE might want to pick a different face of the company next time. How about Chris Jericho? Who managed to not look like a steroid using freak, or get painted as one.
