I watched the documentary. What a witch hunt. Yes, there are problems in pro wrestling that needs to be addressed. But not just from WWE, but from the wrestlers themselves. A couple of quick points.
1. Chris Kanyon needs to shut up. Every time a story comes out about the dark side of pro wrestling, Chris Kanyon is there. I'm surprised Marc Mero wasn't.
2. Can we possibly focus, if need be, on the one aspect of the business that WWE could change and doesn't that may help the wrestlers with their health issues? The schedule. The schedule is so damn brutal and never ending that the paths these men and women take are more likely to happen because of the mental and physical abuse their bodies endure for 150 nights a year estimated on the road.
3. I was INCREDIBLY creeped out by the Dynamite Kid on that show. I know now why the Bulldogs have not had a DVD done, and probably never will. That FREAKED me out, big time.
4. Could CNN have done any more damage to John Cena's personal reputation? Look, I don't know sh*t from shine-ola about the man, but I do know this. WWE would have NEVER allowed Cena to say anything like that and have it pass through to the air without it being stopped. I have to believe that. There's no way that he didn't do that piece without some supervisory presence from WWE, and if it went down just as we saw it on the air, then there's some major problems at the top of the food chain of WWE. I sincerely doubt it. For now, I think CNN did a terrible job of hacking a performer's personal and professional reputation, and I'll comment more on it when I get the chance to view the undedited comments late next week.
Congress hasn't moved on the hearings, and I doubt they're going to anytime soon. Maybe, just maybe, it's time to finally move on? Please?

It is up to the WWE to decide who gets booked to win. They don't need to keep pushing muscle-bound freaks. Billy Gunn was just as good smaller as he was 'roided up. Chris Masters was horrible, 'roids or not. Guys like Edge are incredible - no steroids needed. He worked hard and got to the top.
Cena has magically doubled in size from when he debuted with the company to now? Sorry - a little skeptical that he's clean. The WWE should ensure that guys don't need to have tremendous size to be booked to win. If he is clean, perhaps his better career choice would have been to learn to execute a few more moves than poorly executing the few that he has.
John Cena was a lot bigger when he was in body building than he is now. You have to be a complete left wing nut job to think he's on steroids.
Cena hasn't doubled in size since his debut. I don't think Cena is on steroids, and I do find it a little fishy that CNN did not air "Absolutely not." The thing that bugs me is that he said "You'll never be able to prove I did." If you're innocent, why say something that vague anyway? How about sticking to the "I'm sick of question about if I'm clean or not. I'm not on them." Cena might have had a lapse in judgment, but there is no reason to believe he's on them. Geez, look at Batista!
Cena? On steroids? I don't think so. People always comment about the little time wrestlers have in a gym.
Truth be told, there's a gym in every city in every state. Even if there isn't a gym, proper diet and taking care of the body is all that's needed.
Muscle stays on the body for a long period of time, even if the person hasn't worked out in a while. Cena is exposed to all sorts of gyms and training facilities. He shows no signs of steroid use.
CNN editing the film to make it look like Cena was taking them is a shady character on their part.
I think what Cena meant was that the media is constantly trying to prove things that aren't true. Cena's a real human who makes human errors... I'm sure everyone here has said something and it was taken a completely different way than it was meant to.
