Chris Jericho, Bret Hart and John Cena on Larry King on Monday...
 

WWE champion John Cena has been added to this Monday's Larry King Live on CNN, discussing the Benoit tragedy. Bret Hart, Chris Jericho, Marc Mero and Ted DiBiase had been previously scheduled for the show, but CNN is now listing Hart, Cena and Jericho as guests. Cena's addition would explain the change in the Raw main event that Dave Scherer mentioned earlier today.

From PWInsider.

Yeah, thought thought this was fairly significant with Cena now on the show.

Does this mean Cena won't be on Raw...?

Sweet!

Yeah. Cena not on Raw is good.

But that lineup on Larry King makes me wanna tune in.

Cena not on Raw makes me want to tune in.

Though I REALLY want to see what he says about the issue.

I think Bret has now done every tv talk show in existence. He's everywhere lately.

Hopefully Bret and Jericho do most of the talking.

I'll be very interested to see how this goes. I *think* Cena can actually be well-spoken, but in a league of experts, hopefully he won't say anything dumb or lame.

King: John, have you ever taken Steroids?

Cena: .... You know, I have a match with BOBBY LASHLEY this month! Donald Trump loves him!

Should be very interesting.

I'm betting he comes off as a good corporate man.

Bet RAW now gets booked all around Lashley.

The first ever News/Wrestling Simulcast: Vince McMahon has bought CNN!

It would be awesome if Jericho challenged Cena to a WWE title match on there.

I am suprised Boone hasnt made 5 headlines about this.

Of course he hasn't. This is actual news.

He'll do that tomorrow evening... then again on Tuesday.

I've seen and hear Cena talk and he comes off as an intelligent person.


Why ever would they have guys like Marc Mero and the like on these shows is beyond me.

***Interview on Monday***

Larry: So what are your thoughts on Chris Benoit?

Bret: I can't understand it. He was like a little brother to me and I never saw this coming.

Jericho: Same. I talk to the man all the time and there was never a sign of him snapping like this.

Larry: Your thoughts Mr. Cena.

Cena: Chris Benoit was missing a tooth and I thought it was funny when he smiled!

***Silence.***

***Bret Hart backhands Cena.***

Okay, to follow up my crappy joke with some real input on the conversation, I will be tuning into the show if I remember. I've honestly haven't had interest in watching wrestling since the Chris Benoit matter began, and I might keep it this way for awhile. However, I still have interest in the topic of Benoit and the thoughts of people close to him. I'm mostly tuning in for Bret and Chris, but might be interesting to here Cena too, though probably for the sharp contrast of opinion he has on the man compaired to 2 men who've know him for quite a few years.

I'm fairly sure he was on that Maury show a few weeks ago, finding out he is not the father.

They should bring on The Warrior, Iron Sheik and Jimmy Snuka to disprove this ridiculous steroids have a long-term effect theory.

HOCK TOOEY! I TAKE NO FAGGY GAY-ASS FUCKIN' FAG LITTLE FAG ASSFUCKING FAG STEROIDS!

Drat. Won't get to see it over here. Balls and double balls.

With Bret Hart as the special guest referee?

Now if only Kennedy would appear on another talk show during Raw, then I could be 100% safe to enjoy Raw Monday.

I'm gonna be watching to see Chris and Bret. Who's watching to see Cena?

I'll pay everyone $50 if Cena DOESN'T have the title belt on the Larry King show.











$50 Canadian.

The canadian money joke doesnt hold up as well anymore, considering how much it's rising in relation to the declining american value.

You suck. Get over it.

Do you think WWE will address this issue on Raw? I mean I know that Vince said they will not talk about Benoit on WWE tv but it seems like this issue if far from being put to rest. Will they talk about it on Raw, or just let Cena address this issue to the public?

I'm not sure if I'm saying what I want to...

It's bad either way. If they say he's doing it, there could potentially be that Nitro mega switch that happened when Foley won the title (people may change for a second, see Bret and/or Jericho and stay, or even Cena). If they don't, people will be wondering where Cena is.

They could lie about it and say he's not there for some reason. I suppose the best bet is them announcing it in the 10 o'clock hour but not mentioning the tragedy.

Yeah...I wasn't really think from a ratings stand point, I was thinking from a this issue can't really be ignored right now stand point.

I know, and I also know that ratings would be the first thing they think about after announcing it is brought up.

Cena would STILL win, hate to burst your bubble.:|

LOL. What better way to treat the topic with dignity than to show clips of these guys beating the shit out of Benoit?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

When is the replay of Larry King?

Midnight and 3AM EST.

Already found it, thanks though cupcake. :kiss:

Blackman looks like Chris Walken and sounds like Rainman.

"Definitely not steroids...Definitely...Definitely..."

DeBiase, steroids ARE a drug. :|

Cena is saying WWE isn't biased towards big men, but entertainers.

Jericho is the man.

THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SAYS IN TEH BIBLE

"I've got a fever baby and the prescription is more steriods."

This is pretty good so far. Looks like Cena and Jericho have the same tailor.

Bret Hart could have combed his hair before going on TV :D

:|

:lol: at Jericho trying to explain Bret's "figure skating" comparison.

"(chuckles)....at least I think that's what he meant by that."

LOL. They asked about erasing Benoit, and the show ends. I know they were out of time, but....:lol:

Seriously, just saw it, and it was great. It was nice to not see a legenstar.

I liked the safe answer from Cena about unions and then Bret being able to tell it like it is, without giving a shit.


Also, if you know you only have 20 seconds left of time remaining on your show, why even bother taking calls? That was fucking rude.

I couldn't help but :rofl: at that too

Damn good television.

Love how Jericho became an expert for a little while.

Because Larry King is one of the worst interviewers ever?

I heard clips from him interviewing Paris Hilton (only because they where mocking him on a local radio show) and it was so terrible it was hilarious.

King's too old for this schtick anymore. He's still better than most though. People like Nancy Grace are terrible.

Even Jericho was more or less playing company boy at parts.

I love the anti-union answer from Cena, though.

Unions are for fags. Real americans don't need that socialist crap.

Speaking of which, Bret really needs to get over Montreal. He mentioned it every other sentence.

Blackman was superb.

Really? I noticed he was talking about figure skating a lot.

Didn't he say he was getting his medical clearance to come back?

Hence why he didnt open up too much in a way that might raise Vince's ire.

It's a shame the wwe employees work under such a tyrant.

Honestly I didn't notice him ever bring it up...just talked about his brother when King brought it up.

You know, Bret was one of the first guys to really break the mold in talk about this. Everyone either comes off as a company stooge like Cena or a bitter husk of a wrestler looking to take pot shots at the industery or Vince like Marc Mero or Konnan.

Bret does well for himself on the shows I agree. He is honest, and doesnt try to push any "ideas" as facts.

btw, I believe KK was toying around with those Montreal comments.

Oh if you guys only knew...

LOL @ Cena, Jericho and Blackman wearing the same suites and Blackman taking his jacket off.

Well, she'd probably be better if she could stop harassing her guests into killing themselves.

jericho was kissing wwe ass,guess he is coming back. Bret's honest,non-company man, comments about the wrestlers having union had The wwe lawyer sweating.what the fuck was blackman on?

lol at Jericho and Cena's same clothing choice

Here's the whole transcript

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIP...09/lkl.01.html

So if employees publically bash you on National TV, you'd be happy about it?

All smart people let their employees slander them on TV, don't you know that? :roll:

I must've been sick the day that memo was handed out ;)

Union busting's illegal. Firing someone specifically for being pro-union, or saying something pro-union is against the law.

The only shame is that, as contract workers, WWE wrestlers probably have no recourse anyway.

So yes. It's a shame that Vince is so tyrannical, one cannot even discuss the necessity (or lack of, before you pussies start whining) of a union without fear of losing their job. This isn't really about publically bashing someone.

I was surprised at how generally friendly and supportive of WWE and the business in general Bret was. I mean seriously, if Bret Hart doesn't see an opportunity to slander Vince McMahon, the opportunity probably isn't really there.

Jericho > Professional Wrestling

:lol:

Or your conclusions of Hart are wrong and not born out of any real evidencee from the last decade.

OMG WHY CANT BRET HART JUST LET IT GOOOO

Jesus, u americans have shed loads of breaks in your programming. Even the Just for Men thing on RAW this week that was in the show ffs! - But what was tehre I enjoyed listening. Blackman looks awesome. Bring him back, he hasn't aged / changed.

and on the basis of that, Jericho will be returning with WWE imo.

Oh yeah, if Jericho comes back, it will be with WWE. TNA can't afford him.

The thing that cracks me up about the idea of Jericho "kissing WWE's ass" is that WWE needs Jericho far more than he needs them at this point. He can say whatever he wants, he doesn't have to kiss anybody's anything. Jericho came across as nothing but sincere and honest in his opinions... oh but wait, anyone who doesn't say Vince and WWE are evil bastards who should burn in hell is a company kiss-ass. Sorry, forgive my lapse of reason.

So yeah, if Jericho returns, it will probably be with WWE, and if he wrestles in TNA at all, it won't be anything even remotely resembling full-time.

Jericho is too good for wrestling.

BTW, what is Jericho's past as far as steroids and such go? He seems to have gotten considerably larger than he was at first, but he's never really been a stone-chiseled 'roid monster. Would be interesting to know, if anyone has that info.

if I was a betting man, I'd bet Chris Jerocho has used steroids before.

Kinda sad that I got this idea from listening to the Ultimate Warrior... but WWE should start a program where they basically educate the public on the fact that not every usage of steroids is a terrible thing. Sort of like liquor's "drink responsibly" mantra. Instead of just hiding from the issue, bring it out and show the public that steroids are not the devil, and that they have legitimate uses, and that not everyone who uses steroids turns into a Benoit, or even a Scott Steiner or Kurt Angle.

Didn't he (Jericho) look kinda more beefed up on his debut with Dub-Dub-Eff that from what he looked like on Dub-See-Dubya.

And the rest.

I understand that wrestling fans are in a way trained to look for as much drama as possible in every situation... but I think it's time everyone stop going with the theory that Bret Hart hates Vince and WWE with every fiber in his being and has plans of one day being the man that ends the company once and for all. Yeah, he held on to Montreal longer than he should have and I was one of the guys in the whole "LET IT GO" boat and was pretty annoyed by it. But he's over talking about it. It's done. The man is not gonna call Vince McMahon the spawn of Satan every chance he gets. He even appeared on Raw last month.

Now, onto the interview (Watched it live on the west coast before Raw even came on, take it east coast.)

Jericho came off as a GREAT spokesman for wrestling... even though he isn't even involved in the buisiness, that man makes me proud to have been a fan for so long. He is one of the coolest, classiest guys I've ever seen interviewed. As far as Cena goes, like it or not, he did a great job in the interview. I think he also came off as a great spokesman for wrestling and just seeing him and Jericho together was pretty cool.

And finally, Larry King is a massive tool.

I am going to sig the hell out of that.

WTF was up with Larry sucking Blackman's cock? All the guys looked really intelligent and did the job well, it was much more interesting than the first hour of Raw, for sure.

let's just say I'd be rich

"Roid Responsibly"

Yeah I argee with this statement.

He shouldn't comeback

Fuck you. :p

I agree with this statement.

Jericho should have his own talk show if anything. I mean seriously, the guy is amazing not only as an entertainer but as a legitimate on air presence (non kayfabe). It's too bad the stigma of wrestling is such taboo. In all honesty, the guy should be taking over for Letterman or have a primetime news show or something.

I've always thought Jericho would be amazing on ESPN as a Kenny Mayne type. A comedic personality sports coverer for hockey or something.

If you look at the crop of talent on SNL these days Jericho would be more than qualified to be on the cast.

Bottom line, I just want Jericho on my television regularly, whether it be with WWE or anything else.

Jericho as the host for Talk Soup

Didn't seem to hurt The Rock.

Chris Jericho should take over Late Night after Conan goes to the Tonight Show.

Please. When Jericho's kind of talent, charisma, and presence flows into a place that has been a void of such things for that many years, the world will explode. Do you want that?!
