– In a video on his YouTube channel, former WWE Superstar Maven discussed the WWE-themed episode of South Park. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Maven on the South Park version of John Cena: “South Park Cena throws a better clothesline than the damn real Cena.”

On the episode’s premise of wrestling being theatrical: “I don’t disagree with their premise as much as I disagree with how they got there. Yes, wrestling is theatrical, yes it is a male soap opera, yes it is entertainment. But that entertainment comes at a cost. That entertainment comes at bodies being broken. I am sitting here right now and my back is on fire, and it’s not on fire because of a promo I ever cut or it’s not on fire for any interview I ever did. That’s the only thing that I wish South Park would have talked about. But they did do a good job of showing just how people can get wrapped up in the actual theatrics. So for that, I commend them.”
