They already tried once before, though: My favorite part about that picture? The Judge is doing a perfect impression of The Rock like 4 years before The Rock was even a thing. I thought that was Gerald Brisco for a second lmao. I was like "what 2001-2003 segment is this so I can watch it?" lol.

Other people are terrible, so let's forget this guy. Such a simple argument. And f*** playing a character. The same stale ass character for decades. What's the point of playing the evil boss at this point? He's not getting anyone else over. That's the whole point of being a heel. If he doesn't generate heat to then get someone over, then the whole exercise is pointless. It's been like this for years. Holy shit, why can't he change? Owens beat his ass, damn near shoot headbutted him, and that meant absolutely shit. An actual character would have changed but not Vince. So, no, that was pointless, these comments are pointless, and I don't give a shit about IWC this or IWC that. People can defend this but, goddamn, why even bother putting energy into doing so? put in a resume buddy, if you had it so bad and think its terrible---put in a resume and lets see you book 50 raws a year and please every single person online.

Are you trying to break the record for how many times you can shove a foot in your mouth in a single thread? If your response to Vince's shitty practices is "Put in a resume and try and book RAW", forgive me if it's hard to at this point take anything seriously.

I mean, by that logic, we might as well shut down this place entirely. Because if the response to any discussion is “put it on a resume and see what you can do”, we might as well not talk about any of the stuff we talk about, wrestling or otherwise. Glad we’ve solved the issue.

Past week or so I haven't been in the most patient of moods. So, just to be clear, drop that condescending attitude. That's it. The back and forth conversation that led to this is over.

Playing a character isn't a problem. The issue is that the character is laughing about shit the real life actual man did. Lecherous Vince was creepy in the day, learning that wrestlers actually felt uncomfortable or pressed makes it worse and in more poor taste, and it was also presented enough times in a more ha ha funny way that it's just ugly and weird. When WWE is cutting dozens of wrestlers just before quarterly reports every time, it's a different thing to have him playing an evil boss character, because it's not a character? That's the whole thing. It's not being unable to tell reality from fiction, it's that the fiction is playing off reality and the real things actually happening, and it's atrocious. It milks the bad things the company has done for a very aimless semblance of heat from a guy who will never get his comeuppance on-screen while in real life continuing to do cold-hearted business psychopath shit unabated.
If fiction is escapism, WWE going "No wait slow down, reminder that we're actually doing terrible shit" isn't what anyone would want to see. I see a lot of people on here who say they don't care about what happens behind the scenes in WWE, just what the show has on it. THat's fine, that's a personal choice. But the show is reminding you. That's bad in any light.

To go back to the main topic, at this point, the people constantly sticking with the company probably are disproportionately large in terms of WWE loyalists, and they love this kind of shit. People like Brucie and Ace just chalk up complaining to not WWE fans. The people they get feedback from love WWE and think it's cool that Vince does wall breaking stuff.

Glad we’ve solved the issue. I’m not going to pretend that I wouldn’t curl up into a ball in the corner trying to book a WWE show that makes everybody happy. For better or worse, everybody has their favourites, somebody has to lose and the fans of those people won’t be happy that they did. BUT… It’s getting to the point that whatever I would try in this hypothetical situation… I mean, most of my favourites generally like up with the majority and I’m not creative enough to write word for word scripts so I’d just be like “You guys do whatever”, which is the way everyone wants it anyway… would be better by default.

I actually think that line was a shot at Khan since there was just a big story about him laying a bunch of people off right before Christmas all over the main stream news networks.

I promise you Vince has fired people every single year he has run the company. Every year. Even at the height of his character.

I think the big issue here is he writes the script so he's not just playing a character. If Mr. Burns said this, cool, water is wet, no big deal. Even if he was trying to take a jab at the competition, two seconds of self reflection would tell him this is a terrible look.

Like, you can talk about the character all you want but he’s got full control over the character and plays the character on TV. The fact he didn’t think “Well, I shouldn’t be saying these things as a character considering I am playing said character” likely says a lot about him as a person that we honestly already knew.

The mr McMahon character is an asshole and was famous for using "you're fiiiirreed" in the attitude era and beyond.
Vince McMahon the person is a more complicated asshole who has fired people in reality for incredibly stupid reasons as well as valid reasons.
