Yeah it was an amazing catch and so fitting that virtuosity at a sport would gently caress up Vince's plans.

I 100% would buy that if Vince found out who forgot to put gas in the generator he would hire someone to kill them.

hire someone? he'd probably just book it to kill them in the ring live at wrestlemania.

Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler as a PBP and color analyst on two separate broadcast teams.

No gas in the generator.

A great football game which was seen as bad because it encroached on a lovely late-night "comedy" show.

Bob Costas is a weenie for sure but between this and the one where Vince slaps the papers out of an interviewers hands and calls him a pussy for caring about wrestlers health he should avoid hostile interviews (or not because they rule)

I'm sure he is and become more sure every time I forget to mute SNF during halftime, but he was good at his job in an interview format. He's more likeable the less you know what he actually thinks.

I think this is the best part. Vince's crazy loving ideas were just ahead of their time and/or required the best players to make work. Their production value was A#1 (except for forgetting to put gasoline in the generator hahahaha).
