Haha, this is awesome. Perhaps this is good news for Swagger too.

Edit: just finished watching it all, wow.

1) They went completely out of character, and this is on the official WWE channel.
2) It had a badass feel to it where WWE is defending their content.
3) They invited him on air again... I instantly thought it was some sort of work. Lmao.

Holy shit this is awesome, stupid political analyst had me rolling :lol1:

Most definitely a work to an extent, but they're breaking kayfabe enough to cater to Beck's audience. There was nothing in that video that Beck's viewers didn't know or could easily research, and a kayfabe promo they would have dismissed as "stupid wrestling drivel", Namedropping other popular TV shows really hit home.

I'll bet here's your celebrity Mania tie-in, and a brilliant way of doing it. Big props, Vince and Creative, you deserve a lot of credit for this one.

Whilst that idea is awesome, how would WWE build this on TV?

"Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter will be facing off against the guy who says our scripted promos offend people! Jack Swagger will be dishing a fake beat down on this stupid political analyst"

Yeah, I don't see it being a Mania' match, and in one way I hope it's not. Why/ Because WWE finally grew a pair of balls and rebuttaled the stupid press it sometimes gets.

Apparently WWE officials are upset about Glenn Beck turning down their invite for Monday's RAW and may be planning something to mock him on the show. Dave Meltzer reported on F4Wonline.com that things are so serious Stephanie McMahon had the WWE writing team in the offices at 12:30am on a Friday night re-doing the script for Monday's RAW.
