John Cena is upset. WWE has now posted both his comment from the CNN special and the a full two-and-a-half minute unedited clip. At the very beginning, when asked if he's ever taken steroids in his life, he replies "absolutely not". The comment about not being able to say he hasn't but nobody being able to prove he has comes about halfway in. I think I understand what he's trying to say, but boy, he sure could have phrased it better. The videos are up here.

Smackdown is tonight with Rey Misterio vs. Finlay in apparently a really good match, and Undertaker vs. Great Khali no holds barred. Vinny and I will be up late tonight for members running down this show in detail, plus TNA, ECW and Ultimate Fighter. For fans of WSX, make sure you check out today's Figure Four Daily as it's basically everything you ever wanted to know about the rise and fall of the promotion with Kevin Kleinrock of Big Vision Entertainment. Of course, yesterday's Figure Four Daily with Dave Meltzer is also a must-listen as we've got tons of thoughts on the CNN special, Montreal ten years later, TNA and more. Thanks so much to everyone for your support!
