Benoit Coverage: Larry King Live with John Cena, Bret Hart, Chris Jericho and more.

----I really hated to put these in five parts, but that is the only way I could find it. This is a very interesting piece. I really don't think this story will not just "go away" like the WWE would like for it to be gone.














----Meltzer made the following comments about it...

--Some comments regarding the various shows last night. Larry King was exactly what I expected. The closest thing to real questions came from people writing in. Cena did the performance the company wanted, and really, so did Chris Jericho. The reaction to the question to if the company favors bigger and more muscular wrestlers, Cena did a good job of providing a company answer but that answer is a joke. Jericho, if anything, while he was a successful wrestler, the reason he languished in the mid-card most of the last year in the company aside from the Cena program was partially if not mostly for that very reason. Bret Hart has said a number of times the reason he took steroids as a wrestler was because he felt he needed to in order to get a push because he saw what the guys getting pushed looked like. I got several calls last night regarding the union question, feeling Cena was just like every top guy in the situation who can make a difference but doesn't, but when he turns 45, he will have a different viewpoint. And there was Bret Hart at 50 with that viewpoint. It's important to note that they canceled Marc Mero's appearance from that show, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out how that happened.
