WWE Issues Statement Deriding CNN for John Cena Quote, Coverage

As previously reported, CNN ran a documentary last week entitled "Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling." In it, the network made it seem as though John Cena admitted to steroid use, quoting the wrestler as follows:

People conceive things because performance enhancing drugs have got the spotlight. It's a hot thing to talk about. I can't tell you that I haven't, but you'll never be able to prove that I have.

Consequently, WWE is steaming mad at CNN, claiming it didn't air the entire quote or interview. Here's the issue WWE official just released on the topic:

"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."
