See, finding out that it was RD Evans that quit before he got fired really pisses me off now. Dude is great, and he didn't deserve this crazy b(m)illionaire bullshit. At least by the sounds of it RD Evans left with dignity and style. Bryan Alvarez says Vince flipped his lid and kicked Evans out of Gorilla position so Evans said "I'll do you one better, I quit", shook Vinces hand and told him "I hope you learn a lesson" then left. That sounds pretty badass to me. He immediately took all the power away from Vince in the situation. Unfortunately, Vince will just end up with a woman that is 7 feet tall.

WWE was always a dream of mine but the more I read about these backstage stories, it seems like a god awful place to work. I've had friends who have worked at WWE at various times, and have one friend currently working there, and all of them say it's a real drag at times. I feel like it's like any job that we build up as being a dream job, there are moments, but for the most part, it's no dream. Not only is it like most corporate jobs where there's all sorts of nutty things going on, bosses to answer to, anxiety through the roof, they also cute having to live in Stanford and not being paid enough to afford to live there as another big concern. I'm glad now that I never got the job I went for the one time I got an interview there, and that was probably at a time where business was better and everyone was more sane. As someone who lives in Stamford, I can say this whole county is expensive af to live in. I don’t know how some people do it. I also know a few employees. From what i gather, it’s just like another other corporate job, one that continuing to grow and can be very demanding at times. The move to Atlantic St. in a few years will make it a lot easier for employees to take the train to work, so hopefully that can help with expenses.

I’m all for Evans popping up in the clusterf*** next year with all of his gimmicks. Barrister, Archibald, Mixed Martial Archie and The Handsome and Mysterious Stranger.

Hunter should rehire the guy, have him wear a fake mustache, and see if Vince recognizes him. Vince is like Bert Cooper in Mad Men at this point. Reminds me of that episode where he fires a secretary for chewing gum and after storming off someone else just tells her to go home for the weekend amd come back Monday because Bert would simply forget he'd fired her. Either way, I've been late on the HOF/Mania stuff this year and only just catching up. With this I feel like there are things I've missed - what's the beef with saying (or even thanking) Vince in the speeches? I'm lost.

As per usual, something associated with Bret gets massive heat from Vince, but Shawn Michaels and his merry band of idiots get off Scott free for doing the exact same thing only at rediculous level. Haven’t Shawn and Vince work that bear skin rug out by this point?

With this I feel like there are things I've missed - what's the beef with saying (or even thanking) Vince in the speeches? I'm lost. It’s a very odd quirk Vince has (one of MANY): he’s OK being a figurehead, the Mr. McMahon character, a former WWE champion and Royal Rumble winner plus Muscle and Fitness cover model, but he cannot STAND being made a part of the Hall. He doesn’t make appearances (only twice in all these years), he wasn’t a part of inducing his own father and he is, as very obviously clear, absolutely adamant on not being given any credit for anyone’s success. Despite being the boss, the booker and head writer. Yeah, I don’t get him at all. Hate to say it, but this is Vince being Vince. He will have his way or die trying. I don’t like it, but he has never changed. Rocks kind of come with the farm. Credit to the producer for standing up, but the reality is Vince cried about it for a minute and a half, then was on to what’s next.
