No Holds Barred Vince McMahon Shoot Interview?

[shagnastii]

Love looking at the many of the former WWe employees and there thoughts on the business, angles and other workers the had expirences with.

So the Ultimate Shoot interview, what would be your 'unique' question? (piss take to a minimum please)

[Dynamite Kid]

'Hey Vince, can I take the piss out of you as much as possible?'

Okay, how about 'The Stephanie/You/Shane incest angle - what the HELL were you thinking?'

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

Hows it going?

I'm not very good at this

[lotus]

Damn it Vince! Who really raised the briefcase!?!

[bubbles]

Hey Vince, should I care about your testes because I really, REALLY don't

Will the main event for Wrestlemania 40 be You vs Shane vs Steph vs Hunter vs Aurora Rose in a 5 way for control for the company?

(You heard it here first by the way!)

[Zutroy]

Vince, why did you kill off WCW and ECW and do you regret doing it now?

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

"Re-remember the time you won the WWF title? Yeah...that was cool..."

[Loki]

Do you keep booking segments and angles revolving around you because you:

a) you enjoy appearing on TV no matter what
b) you really think people still love (to hate) you after all these years
c) you know it will grant a reaction, as opposed to an undercard match
d) you don't feel like developing something "new" because the old formula still works

I thought this was No Holds Barred with commentary by Vince McMahon. That would be awesome.

[DiBiase is Good]

Be honest Vince.
How did you REALLY feel when you bought WCW for next to nothing? No diplomacy please.

I know what the answer would be, but I'd love to hear Vince say "I laughed my f***ing ass off".

Vince, I can has cheezeburger plz?

[Galluchadore]

honestly if there ever was a Vince shoot interview it would probably have to be at least 3 separate interviews. Pretty much could get a 3 hour shoot just on his early experiences in the business and his purchase from his father. Another shoot on the rise of the company in the 80s and the decline in the early 90s. And then you still have the attitude era and the current era. I mean off the top of my head I can come up with 20 questions that all would take a few minutes to answer. I would love to hear his honest thoughts on just about every aspect of wrestling and the wrestling business.

"Hey Vince, can you PLEASE stop baring your ass on TV?"

[General Zod]

"Mr." McMahon,

As a longtime fan of the professional wrestling industry, I want to get your thoughts on where you see the business, as a whole, heading in the next five years, specifically as it relates to the wellness policy you've recently implemented and it's subsequent impact on the overall product and presentation, not just for your company, but for all organizations either tied to your parent group, or independently operated by direct competitors; especially considering that you still prefer to employ guys with the "muscley" look. Do you think that following the recent slew of drug and alcohol related deaths, combined with your desire to hire "cosmentics over talent and experience", and given your propensity to make fun of talent on-air about thier struggles with said wellness issues, that the industry can overcome the inner societal pressure that you, yourself, put on your workers to "look the part" instead of learning the fine art of the craft? And if so, why? Please cite specific examples and be thorough with your explanation. I'd like to share your optomistic vision as clearly as you do.
