Don't miss Nickolye's Smackdown Recap at 8 PM Eastern and Over the Top Radio #113 w/ Kizarny at 9 ET in our AngryMarks chatroom. Plugs are done so it's on to Friday's news!

John Cena was recently interviewed by IGN about his new movie Legendary. Here's what he had to say about getting the part and filming while keeping a WWE schedule.

I wasn't even approached with the role. It was - aside from The Marine because The Marine was kind of last minute and they said "we need you to do this thing" - it was very much like 12 Rounds and a new movie that I'll be working on in October. I was given the script and it was like "Hey, we got a couple of projects, just let us know what you think." I read it cover to cover in one sitting and I'm not a reader. If I'm not reading Auto Trader, I'm not reading anything. I loved it. I didn't even say that I wanted to be Mike Chetley. I just said that I wanted to be involved with it some way. It was an inspirational story. It was about high school sports, coaching and the interaction between family and brothers. I have five brothers. It really hit home. I think that's the most important thing when you're filming something like that. Especially with someone of my low-experience level. You're gonna get the best performance out of something you can wrap your hands around. And then they asked me to play Big Mike. And I said "no problem." It fit to a "T."

Time isn't an issue. Everyone likes to talk about scheduling. I've been doing this with the WWE for eight years now. I know exactly what I'm getting into. I don't mind it. I keep telling people that if it was something that I hated doing it would be a grind. But I love being in the WWE. I'm the first one to show up and I'm always the last one to leave and I love doing the movies. It's two different things. We can go out there and tell a story on RAW and I'll immediately know if the story was good or bad. But in a movie you have to really invest yourself over a period of months and then in months of post-production and interviews. And then you get the pay-off when the movie opens. It's the same result, it's just a longer process and I dig that. It's a great comparison. And it's a breath of fresh air after doing 300 events every year for the past eight years.

You can read the rest of his interview HERE. Legendary was also reviewed by the New York Post HERE, the Philadelphia Inquirer interviewed Cena about it HERE, the Boston Herald covered it HERE, and John Nolan has a video of Cena talking about it HERE.

50 Cent has been busy posting in defense of Floyd Mayweather Jr. via his Twitter account. There are too many tweets to post so here are just a few.

She's claiming he hit her but has no bruises. Floyd went to see his kids last night if a fighter of floyd caliber hits u, u would b bruised.

I talked to him before and after the situation he wasnt even upset. He said he asked her why was the house so dirty she started trippin.

He bought nice clothes for his kids they were all over the place.His baby moma said shes not gonna force them to wear clothes they dont want

I told him that's crazy. I know how he felt. I met her before so I told him she would calm down. Can't believe she called the cops

Meanwhile Aloisia just can't shut up about why she was "fired" from NXT.

Next, I find out that maybe the "real" reason I was fired was because of some ridiculous lingerie photo shoot I did when I was 18. Um, EXCUSE ME, but if what I did was so unforgivable then can someone please explain why my "favorite" person, VG, has a (censored) nude photo shoot posted on the WWE.com website?"

Shut up already. You're getting to be more annoying than Angelic Diablo's tweets. Go to Aloisia Online if you want more of her work. She also has a new interview with AOL Fanhouse HERE and Neal Jones told us her FIRST interview since being kicked off NXT is up now at In Your Head Online.
