Jeremy Piven talks Raw on Regis & Kelly

Thursday morning, actor Jeremy Piven made an appearance on the Regis & Kelly Show in New York. The actor was there to discuss his upcoming movie "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard", but also spoke about his recent gig hosting Monday Night Raw for WWE. Piven admitted he's got a fear of heights so getting up on the turnbuckle was really all about facing his fears. He also noted that he noticed two signs in the crowd; one read "Ari Gold is God" in reference to his Entourage character. The other sign read "Entourage Sucks", so Piven said he felt loved and hated all at once.

In terms of the jump at Cena, he said it's like every guy's fantasy to be in the wrestling ring, but he wondered what his mom was thinking when she saw it all. Kelly Ripa made the point that Piven could have been injured during the stunt, and Piven talked about Cena throwing Dr. Ken. He said he hasn't heard from Dr. Ken since the incident and Cena needs to watch his back. No word yet if Piven vs. Cena will be headlining Wrestlemania 26.

In his new role, Piven will play a used car salesman. Piven's movie "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard" opens August 14th and is rated R.
