John Cena was an in-studio guest today on ESPN2's "First Take". Cena put over Shaquille O'Neal, giving his reaction to a 13-year-old boy that wrestled Shaq that was featured in the segment that preceded him. He was asked about the 900th episode of Raw, Cena mentioned the weird fact that WWE mentioned last night, that Jersey Shore would have to remain in syndication until 2083 for it to reach 900 episodes. Asked if there will be a 1000th, Cena said everyone in the building last night will make sure that happens. When asked about being a guest on an upcoming episode of Hannah Montana on The Disney Channel, Cena said he doesn't need to be the toughest guy out there and doesn't have a chip on his shoulder. Cena said he doesn't have to prove that he's tough because when the chips are down, he'll show that he's tough. The episode will air on The Disney Channel on September 12th. Regarding Legendary, Cena said it's an amazing story with an amazing script. He said it's a wonderful motivational story. It's scheduled to be released on theaters on September 10th.

Cena was then asked to pick a winner in the following hypothetical wrestling matches:

Washington Redskins: Head Coach Mike Shanahan vs. Defensive Tackle Albert Haynesworth - Cena liked Haynesworth's toughness but said he knows he misses practice and may be out of shape. Cena sided with Shanahan, giving him a check plus.

LeBron James vs. the entiry city of Cleveland - Cena said the entire city of Cleveland took a tremendous hit when LeBron left. He said LeBron has been made such a big star you had to expect something like what happened this summer. Because he's such a big deal, people had to expect him to make a big deal about it. Cena gave LeBron a check plus.

New England Patriots QB Tom Brady vs. New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez - Cena said the Patriots have established themselves but the Jets, the way they've been playing, already feel as if they are ahead of the Patriots. Cean said this will be an awesome rivarly for many years to come. He noted that Pats Head Coach Bill Belichick and Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan are polar opposites and Ryan would have a better run in WWE.

John Cena vs. the Jersey Shore guys - John Cena said he is a Jersey Shore fan and against the Jersey Shore guys they would be late to the ring and would try to rob him when they got there. He says they'd have no chance against him.

They revealed a poll they've been running on the ESPN website:
