Wrestling Fans Unite! We've found someone to hate!!!

[Guest DarkMatchJobber]

Finally, completing our college theme, being an institution of higher learning doesn’t ensure that the school will avoid traveling the lower roads. Connecticut’s Sacred Heart University, during its May 13 graduation ceremony, bestowed an honorary doctorate on Vince McMahon. Charles Manson must’ve been unavailable.

 

McMahon’s speech to the Class of ’07 was prefaced by an explanation that the honor is in recognition of “all you are and all you promise to be.” A Catholic institution, Sacred Heart’s mission statement encourages a “responsibility for the common good of society.”

 

To that end, no clips of McMahon’s vulgar, kid-targeting WWE TV shows were shown. And, so as not to embarrass him or the school, a long roll call of drug-afflicted and prematurely deceased pro wrestlers also was avoided.

 

Incidentally, because he’s the recipient of an honorary doctorate, Dr. McMahon will remain unable to legally prescribe steroids to himself and to his wrestlers.

 

This was by New York Post columnist Phil Musnick who I believe has targeted the WWE and Vince before but still this is unnecessarily sad for a serious journalist to waste time criticisng an entertainment format that's not as 'vulgar' as half the stuff on network television.

How could you hate someone that wrote that?

[Guest MojoPogo]

Yes. Vince's show is vulgar and aimed at kids, yet the papers dont hesitate to show pics of celebs flashing their pants and going into details on sleazy three in a bed stories. Another classic example of balanced and fair reporting, i dont think. Bah.

[Guest Clarkey]

At least we've found someone who can keep Jack Thompson company. Hopefully they can keep each other preoccupied.

[Guest Total Carnage]

Surely this is nothing new. Phil Mushnick has had an axe to grind against wrestling for many a year.

 

He's not someone new to hate as he has been hated for quite a while.

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

I don't hate anyone who dislikes wrestling personally, if he wants to slag it off then good for him I couldn't care less what he thinks of it, I just care what I think of it :D

[Guest Dave7g]

Any publicity is good publicity. At least he's funny.

[Guest The Beltster]

The guy has been writing this stuff for almost 20 years, this is tame compared to alot of his anti McMahon tyrades. The guy is exceptionally one sided and ignorant aswell, I'm surprised the NY Times gives him page space.

[Guest Gooneronastick]

It'll be tomorrow's dust sheet or at the bottom of someone's birdcage. Musnick is an idiot.

[Guest Psychedelic5150]

Thats fair enough, I've heard much worse said about Vince and he has proberly justified every criticism thrown at him with angles including such charming topics as: Necrophilia, giving birth to hand's, touching up transexuals, murder ('Taker has been killed more times than I care to remember), Vince's seedy love life with people like Sable and Trish, Vince putting his wife in a coma, Vince having a "kiss my ass" club.

Furthermore, I believe he went so overboard a few years back, he was forced to apologize to the Fed. (If there's one thing I can't stand, it's opinionated columnists.) LOL

[Guest DarkMatchJobber]

This guy can't have a respectable opinion on wrestling because he does not understand it and does not want to,if he thinks it is all sleaze,steroids and hotel trashing (someone say Orton?) than maybe he should go on a chat show and try using the legit straight edged superstar CM Punk for his argument :lol
