Early on, however, Ferriss asks Hunter about common misconceptions that outsiders have of WWE. Here's what how he responded:

They just see what they see on TV. They see, um, the misconception for me is that I'm very much what you see on television, or I'm this character or - they see the simplistic things of what we do. You know it's funny, even if you're this huge fan of the WWE, they get so upset over things like, uh, well, "Why would this guy beat that guy? Just, gah." You know, it's one of the terms right now, "he buried him".

You know, it's um, it's a show. And what they don't get about our show is that we are like this never-ending...you can compare it to whatever you want, comic books, soap opera, TV drama, movie...but it never ends, so there's always another chapter.

And they get so upset in the moment of not knowing, or maybe not liking the end of the chapter that they're on...but there's another chapter. It starts tomorrow, it actually started right now when this one ended, you know and they don't get that, and they can't wait for that and they don't understand all the complexities that go on behind the scenes, so that's probably the biggest misconception is that we're just, the WWE is just a bunch of guys, at its simplest form, that just go to the ring in their underwear and pretend to fight with each other, you know. Um, but when you really break it down, it's a massive, global business.


Before the quote above, Ferriss asked Levesque how he answers when strangers ask him what he does for a living. He said that when he was a full-time wrestler, he responded that he was "an entertainer". The reason he picked that word isn't because Vince McMahon hates the word wrestling, and actually makes a lot of sense:

Our...the WWE is a weird thing, it's like, if you're not into it, no explanation can make you like it, and if you are into it, there's no explanation necessary.

I don't know how many times I have to explain to so-called "smart fans" who think a loss means someone is getting "buried".....or the when someone gets eaten alive in a promo and all of a sudden "it's a burial".

So many people who don't know anything have bastardized insider terms so much that only marks still say them.

Pretty interesting and glad he actually addressed this. He obviously pretty aware of what the internet is talking about that much was apparent from his jabs he makes in his promos from time to time. Which I think that is pretty good so it keeps him more in touch than Vince ever could be in this generation.

Yeah I like Trips as face of the company b/c he's more 'down with the kids' and acknowledges the internet's voice (not necessarily a good point)

WWE generally seems more interactive with him at the helm.
