How in the hell did "Superstar" Billy Graham get inducted to the HOF after that?

Did you see Vince cringe when Billy Graham was talking about the alleged illegal acts of homosexuality(uhm..no..more like molestation) and steroid distribution. Its like a shot in the heart with a sharp pencil. Of course, Vince will remind everyone in later years that steroids were not illegal at the incident Graham is referring to. Vince should have just cut his losses right then and admitted that steroids were consumed by some of the wrestlers, but at the time they were legal and they were not well informed of the long term effects of roids. I am sure some of the audience would have moaned when Vince claimed ignorance of the negative effects of steroids. He should have admitted that sexual abuse occured, but for the most part those guilty were not employees but subcontracted talent. Vince's arguments can be validated since pretty much everyone is subcontracted by the WWF.
What I don't understand is why Vince didn't get rid of Patterson. I have seen Patterson in many shoot interviews. I could be wrong, but was Pat Patterson contributions to the WWF so important that the occasional molestation of a boy could be overlooked for the good of the business? Was Patterson blackmailing Vince because he witnessed some of Vince's sins? I hope that Patterson witnessed something more than Vince snorting a little blow.
I remember some of these allegations in the early 90's, and now that I have gotten older I feel so dirty for being a fan. Vince should have come clean because his "My company is holier than thou" attitude was not fooling anyone.
Most wrestling fans despise the current product/wrestlers and wish for the good old days. However, those fans have to admit that many of the changes are for the better. I just don't see Vince turning a blind eye to Johny Ace fondling a boy in the production van because his creative input increased ppv revenue. Of course, I could be wrong as Johny Ace is despised universally through the IWC. If you ignore the IWC, then attendence and buyrates would suggest that the casual fans are not impressed with Ace either. Don't let Ace hold you hostage Vince. After all, what could Johny Ace accuse Vince of that would suprise anyone? I mean we are talking about the CEO of a billion dollar company that drops his pants and does tricks with his ass on a quartly basis.

Steroids are no longer legal Just look at the natural physiques of Batista,Lashley,Masters and test. I'm glad Vince is changing things around for the better  |
