That is just like the deal with MVP and fatty betty, I mean ugly betty I mean Sherri Shepherd. Who in the hell cares, that they like each other. Do we have to have these cretins spreaded in our faces every time we go to the tubes to watch TV? It is pretty obvious that Vince has run out of ideas and apparently Sherri is so desperate for a man and MVP is so desperate for anything that he can find, the jail cell he was in as a kid must have affected what ever little brains cells that he does have in his head. No one cares about your bikini waxes Sherri nor your sex life with MVP, like I’ve said before and I will say again, some things just do not need to be on Television period. We have enough garbage to worry about and Sherri and MVP isn’t one of them. Get a life and lives our ALONE!!!!!

Finally, someoone who understands the same thing that I have been questioning for a few years already. Vince needs to realize that the reason he is rich is because of the wrestling aspect of his business,not the funny skits, or the meaningless talking that the WWE does at the beginning of Raw,ECW,and Smackdown. We know that the guys want to beat each other,they don’t have to tell us. Vince is not losing it,he just needs to be reminded of how he got rich in the first place.

Saying that the wwe superstars of wrestling billed as Entertainers is like saying that Satan is going to give up being evil and finally give his life to Christ and be a good christian. Yeah right whatever that will be the day. And then Vince wonders why his show and ticket sells is failing horribly. I never would think of the day that I would say this, but I would rather watch 3 hours of old WCW tapes and be bored silly out of my mind or old Hulk Hogan tapes of Blunder in Paradise(Thunder). TNA isn’t any better. It seems to me that TNA only gets the old washed up wrestlers that WWE and WCW don’t want and they (TNA) try to take and make something of them. Why not just go back to the old days of wrestling when wrestlers really had good old fueds that lasted a lifetime and you could sit back 30 or 40 years from now and talk about the good old days. What ever happen to when wrestlers really didn’t like each other and you did not have to rely on a so-called script to make it look believeable I mean when I was growing up there were some wrestlers in real life that just despised each other and you could not tell what was scripted and what was real. What ever happen to women’s wrestling. The females of the WWE look more like strippers from the strip joints rather than real female competitors. Don’t get me wrong I am not talking about all the DIVA’s that are real legitimate female competitors. Like for instance if you take Natayla the daughter of Jim the Anvil Niedhart for example. I don’t call placing her in the ring with the likes of Layla and Candice Michelle is something that we have in mind. Think about the females that have won and held the WWE womens title, like the fabulous Moolah, Wendy Ritcher, Medusa, Jazz, Chyna and we can go on and on. Vince needs to get his priorities straight and focus what is really on the minds of the true wrestling fans. If you want entertainment that’s fine, but these wrestlers sacrifice their bodies night in and night out and suffer severe injuries and being away from their families for 365 days out of a year. That is not entertaining, that is true love for what you love to do and that is to entertain the fans, but also to do what you love to do best and that is wrestle and one day hope to be a world champion. So Vince the next time you say that wrestling is just entertainment, then think about the athletes that you have getting in the right to entertain your fans, like Dennis Rodman, Pete Rose, Evander Holyfield and you can go on and on, these are not only entertainers, but they are professionals that enjoy doing what they do best and that is participating in the various sports that they are representing. Vince please get your mind straight as die hard wrestling fan, do the right thing and respect the few good wrestlers that you have so they wont end up eventually hating you for what you truly stand for.

This has been a great article and I like what you pointed out.
I used to be a WWF fan but years ago when they chaged there name
to WWE and just started acting like a soap opera,I got sick of
them. I’m glad TNA is around and I hope they continue to kick
ass. As for Vince,well this guy is starting to act like that
moron who made fun of Jim Ross,and Vince Russo. WWE is probaly
gonna go out of buisness if this keeps going.

Pluse that just sounds stupid. Entertainers? It’s supposed to
be wrestlers.

They are not Entertainers! They Are Athletes! this is a bunch of bull crap! Saying that the WWE are entertainers is like saying that Barack Obama is White!

This just proves that Vince has lost his mind and he will be WWE’s downfall while TNA is the top actual wrestling show. I would love to see TNA beat WWE in the ratings because WWE isn’t about wrestling anymore.

Great article, Kee.

I’ve been hoping and praying for a Terry Funk DVD set for a long time but now I wonder if they’ll refer to him as an “entertainer” throughout the thing rather than a wrestler.

Can you see Harley Race saying something like, “Back then, entertainers didn’t get all the fireworks and movie deals. We entertained on a whole different level from the entertainers of today.”

Will a guy like Bill Watts be talked about as an “entertainment promoter?”

This may end up being the apocalypse for wrestling as we know it.

P.S.(KISS were using pyro in concerts back in the 70’s.)
