How WWE Grew To Hate Itself
From the gutter to the Superstars, climbing the corporate ladder has never mattered more...
More wackiness from WWE last week, when Becky Lynch revealed that Vince McMahon spent some time at one of their poorly-advised tapings teaching the crew how to convincingly fall off a tower. This was funny enough to think about simply considering the key players - Lynch has a background in stunt work and at 74 years old McMahon's body has never been more at risk without flinging it through the air - but it also spoke to how hands on the Chairman has suddenly become in light of global circumstances turning his year upside down.
He lost his pirate-themed WrestleMania, he lost his second attempt at The XFL and he lost his mind during that Triple H 25th Anniversary segment. For the first time in a while, he might actually know what it feels like to be one of his midcarders.
But don't pity the poor billionaire. Not only will he be fine, but he'll keep telling you that you are too, with pay-per-view after pay-per-view ignoring the obvious. That aforementioned tower block bump was in order to get his guys ready to "climb the corporate ladder" at Sunday's Money In The Bank.
The match has already been taped, and depending on when you read this may have been a creative and critical success. But the pitch black messaging is clearer than both those spotlit briefcases hanging in the Connecticut sky.
Just. Keep. Watching.
