10 Insane Revelations From Secret WWE Leaks

7. Vince McMahon Thinks Britney Spears Is Relevant

This leak is so damning of the process that it might, one day, end up as a chapter unto itself in the 'Death Of WWE'.

Vince McMahon's weird pronouns deal crops up, because of course it does, and he thinks you are as dumb as a brick. The note reads 'Do not use pronouns. We can't always tell who you are talking about when you say "he" or "she". E.g. "He's all over him" - who are you talking about?'

I'm not sure about you, right, but if I'm watching Braun Strowman pummel Drew Gulak, and Michael Cole says "He's getting those hands!" I'm not going to suddenly think, because Cole didn't specify, that Braun Strowman is punching himself in the face.

Another note, Jesus Christ, reads "Everybody hates being told what to think," which is funny, because WWE tends to press the Independent Thought Alarm every time a talent pitches an idea.

"Our audience can always tell when an Announcer is reading and that is a total disconnect," another note reads, as if relentlessly smashing you in the f*cking face with exposition and nickname is engaging.

"Be topical" contradicts information in the same memo. Vince changed his mind as he orated it. "Compare Vince McMahon shaving his head bald to Britney Spears" is an example cited.

One was a fictional humiliation, the other a sad public meltdown.

Leave Vince alone, pal!
