He's posted versions of that article for years and that line's always been there iirc, don't think it's necessarily aimed at anyone specifically. I'm just an untrained smark but his list feels like intelligent and sensible advice to me.

Miz and Punk were supposed to be on an episode with comedian Ron Funches (who actually commissioned an @midnight wrestling belt). Both were cut after the Punk walk off. I'm pretty shocked that Ziggler has never been on because he is friends with a good portion of the LA comedy community.

On topic, here is Funches with the New Day:

As someone who attended Unforgiven in Pittsburgh on 9/23/01, I can tell you he absolutely played that up every way possible. Don't forget that he played up a Smackdown in Houston as the "first public assembly of its size" after the 9/11 attacks.

Vince cancelled a terrorist character because the networks were upset about the potential to create violence. Pretty much like Sony did here.

Also, didn't WWE lie and say they had to move the location of WrestleMania VII due to a bomb threat when in reality no one wanted to buy tickets to Hogan/Slaughter?

They cancelled the Terrorist character because the mock execution of the Undertaker aired on the same day of the London bombings and it was terrible timing.

And yeah, they faked a bomb threat as justification for their poo poo feud not selling. And even though the feud did so poorly at the box office they kept it going until Summerslam.

Don't forget bringing in the iron sheik as well as a guy that sorta looked like saddam, with offense that consisted mainly of back rakes and eye gouges...

Oh and warrior and sid.

Yeah in the History of Wrestlemania documentary it's mentioned, and it's become one of those things that's now just WWE lore. As if someone couldn't bomb the arena that's directly across the road. It also didn't sell out, despite the small venue. It was just a poo poo feud and a poo poo card.

They wrote off Muhammad Hassan because of the negative attention they were getting, AND because the network stepped in and banned him from appearing on SmackDown ever again. If it was "just" a big shitstorm of negative press, Vince probably would have put him over Undertaker and made him champion.
