John Cena To Appear on ESPN2's First Take

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:

Who would win in a wrestling match, Shaquille O'Neal or John Cena?

John Cena - 65.3%

Shaquille O'Neal - 34.7%

We are live from Boston, Massachusetts and your announcers are Michael ‘Official voice of the Raw General Messenger’ Cole and Jerry ‘The King of the 900s’ Lawler.

Bret Hart comes to the ring and he has something to say. Bret says hello to the people of Boston and says that it has been a while. Seventeen years ago, a new show debuted called Monday Night Raw. Bret says that back then, he wondered if the show would catch on. Thanks to everyone, seventeen years and 900 shows later, it looks like it is doing pretty good. Raw has the most shows in the history of primetime television. Bret says that he was there for the very first show. There was only one other wrestler here who was there on the first show as well. That man is the Undertaker. Bret says that it would be appropriate . . .

For Kane to come out and interrupt Bret. Kane mentions the Undertaker. He says that there is no Undertaker any more. Kane says that thanks to him physically decimating him and leaving him to rot in a vegetative state, the Undertaker is a phenom no longer. He is not phenomenal in any way. Kane says that Taker is just a man. Kane says that the man Bret once knew is like Bret. He is weak, feeble, scraggly, over the hill, and irreversibly damaged. The last time that the Undertaker was truly the Phenom it was at Wrestlemania when Taker ended the career of Shawn Michaels. Kane asks Bret if he liked that. Bret made amends with him, but he utterly despised Shawn. He must have enjoyed seeing Shawn laid out to rest.

Bret says that he will savor it when Kane loses to the Undertaker again. Kane tells Bret that he sounds like Taker. Kane says that the only thing he ever wanted was to break out of his brother’s shadow to prove that he is the devil’s favorite demon. Undertaker took out an icon in Shawn Michaels.

It is because the Rock epitomizes the septic tank of a show that is Monday Night Raw. 900 shows is a milestone, but for 900 shows, Raw has been promoting poor family values. Punk has two words for us: Katie Vick. Punk says that it will drive you to drink, but he will save you. Punk says that he is here to show four of the most atrocious acts committed on Raw. They are not pretty and tonight he is Raw’s judge, jury and executioner. Exhibit A: Property Damage from Episode 824 when Triple destroyed Randy Orton’s house before Wrestlemania. Exhibit B: Irresponsible and Reckless Behavior: Edge and John Cena fighting into the water in Bridgeport in Episode 691. Punk says that he would never throw anyone into a body of water because it is bad sportsmanship. Exhibit C: Trespassing: Episode 257: Invading Nitro in 1998. Exhibit D: Excessive Use of Alcohol via firehose: Episode 304 in 1999 when Steve Austin had the beer hose and unleashed suds on the McMahon family.

Punk says that he is always that disappointed when he comes here to see each and every one of them. He says that he is happy that they are disappointed. Punk says that he has one more clip to leave on a high note. Punk has a clip from a show called Smackdown. We see the 199th episode of Smackdown when Brock Lesnar superplexed Big Show and imploded the ring. Punk says that he could watch that clip over and over because it represents everything he could never be. He could never be criminally obese. He says that Big Show is so big he broke an entire ring.

Big Show’s music plays and he comes out.

Punk mentions that they play Steve Austin’s music and no one comes out, but they play Big Show’s music and we get Captain Insano.

Show is insulted that Punk would make a fat joke. If Punk wants to embarrass him, he can talk about the chronic diarrhea when Eddie Guerrero gave him a tainted burrito. Or the time that he had to do the sumo wrestling thing. That was embarrassing. Show says that Punk should have brought up Show kissing Vickie Guerrero. Show tells Punk that he loves making people laugh. Show says that he does impersonations. Show does a Straight Edge Hogan promo. Punk says that was boring.

In addition to the match at the pay per view, he has to team with four of his opponents at the pay per view. One of his partners is Randy Orton, the man who tried to end his career. Sheamus says that this is discrimination.

Before the ACLU can come to his side, Edge’s music plays and he comes out. He says that Sheamus is giving him a headache fella. Edge says that since he debuted on Episode 265, he has been thrown into the Long Island Sound, had weddings broken up, had deranged ex-employees come through the crowd and attack him, and hit him with chairs. For everything that has happened to him, he has thrown back three times as many. Edge says that he has won 29 titles. He has won the Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, and Money in the Bank.

Update: Brought back to the top with RAW dark match results

Following last night’s WWE RAW, there was a dark match for the WWE Title. Sheamus defended his title in a triple-threat Steel Cage Match against John Cena and strangely, The Undertaker. Sheamus won the match, when he escaped the cage as John Cena and The Undertaker were facing off. Kane done the same stuff as he done on RAW with the lights and appeared in front of The Undertaker following the match. Both men faced off and The Nexus attacked John Cena.

A bunch of guys (Mark Henry, The Hart Dynasty and others) came out to make the save and left Wade Barrett lying in the ring.
