WWE® INVITES GLENN BECK TO GET RAW

STAMFORD, Conn., February 22, 2013 – WWE has extended an invitation to talk show host and political commentator, Glenn Beck to appear live this Monday on Raw, in response to a segment that aired on TheBlaze TV yesterday. In the segment, Beck references WWE as “stupid wrestling people,” when criticizing a recent WWE storyline involving WWE characters Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio®, Jack Swagger® and Zeb Colter®. WWE is giving Beck the opportunity to address our 14 million weekly viewers and our global fan base, as he believes we are offending our “conservative” fans with this storyline.

Similar to other television shows and feature films, WWE is in the entertainment business, creating fictional characters that serve as protagonists or antagonists. To create compelling and relevant content for our audience, it is important to incorporate current events into our storylines. WWE is creating a rivalry centered on a topical subject that has varying points of view. This storyline was developed to build the Mexican American character Del Rio into a hero given WWE’s large Latino base, which represents 20 percent of our audience.

So, this basically confirms no Swagger burial.

 

[Stopspot]

In short: Come to our yard and say that Beck.

 

[Crayo]

Haha this is actually awesome. Looks like WWE has grown a small pair of balls and are trying to flaunt that. This reeks of badass Vince instead of pussy Vince.

Let's hope he comes.

 

[Stopspot]

Have Swagger put Glenn in the Patriot Act.

 

[Rysenberg]

Love it WWE. Glenn Beck is one of the biggest twats to ever step on this planet. Get owned, asshole.

In short: Come to our yard and say that Beck.

Let's hope he comes.

Could you imagine the heat?! 1:

 

[Crayo]

Knowing WWE fans they'll cheer and agree with him. Idiots.

 

[Rysenberg]

Lmao so true, god if it were a smarky crowd :

 

[Rysenberg]

Listening to this, I'm sorry but f*ck you Beck. 'Stupid wrestling people', who, exactly? Vince McMahon? Paul Heyman? The Rock? Chris Jericho? Anybody else who's smarter and more successful than you'll ever be?

Okay, so now he's resorted to mocking Swagger's lisp, fucking pathetic. It's fake you blueberries. Irritating nuct.


__________


This is utterly ridiculous, they're taking this on as if it's seriously Swagger and Coulter's beliefs. They are actors, they are reading from a god damn script. Do they sit and moan about bad people from movies as well? Because that is essentially what they're doing.

This is fucking hilarious, the written interview is at the bottom of the link, my favourite bit.

"“I’m sick and tired of being miscast. I am sick and tired of it. It is lazy at best. And I certainly am not going to give any more time or my money to any organization that is miscasting, is making it harder for me and my family to stand up for what I believe in. You’re mocking me for standing up for the Constitution of the United States of America? You’re mocking me for standing up for law and order? Equal justice under the law? Equal justice. I’ve been that my whole life. You’re mocking me for standing up for the same principles and values that Martin Luther King stood up for? I don’t think so. In my own camp? No, I don’t think so. Get the hell out.”
