there is a reason the government took interest in the wwe and its not because they liked austin that much

Vince was insane and old as fuck back then too though.
I'd love to see the last edition of these schizo notes from right before he was ousted. How completely insane had they gone.

All Hollywood movies and television shows have production notes. The only people who found this controversial were the people still treating wrestling as a sport.

While that is true, and I'd even argue that some of these are reasonable, some of them are either soulless or highly autistic.

This is Vince being corporate, you mong. It's full of corporate euphemisms and branding. Hence the obsession with avoiding longstanding wrestling terms, and the shift from saying things like "fans" to shit like the "WWE Universe."

That's the easiest one to defend.
When the company used to run angles where a guy got hospitalized, marks used to call up local hospitals, wasting their time, to see if the wrestler was there. "Medical center" keeps it ambiguous and could refer to any clinic in the area, in theory.

Most of it didn't go far enough. Match is being phased out in favor of Fight, at least among the wrestlers
>Come down here and have a match with me!
vs
>Come down here and let's FIGHT

Some commentators are now using 'receipt' more freely, but let's be honest, 'payback' sounds much better
The suspension of disbelief works best when the show isn't 2-3 hours of inside jokes, industry lingo and commentators that sound like IWC marks narrating a match for their Discord audience

Vince was actually a very underrated commentator, so I know he understands the craft, but the ban on "pro-wrestling" basically just gave AEW a free open goal by allowing them to embrace that term and distinguish themselves from whatever the fuck Vince thought he was going for with WWE's modern brand identity. I can understand some of them are about ad revenue i.e. avoiding "War" and some are about removing tired cliches to keep things feeling new, but many of them are totally indefensible.

Vince was right to do this and it was an honest move. It's not professional wrestling because it's not a real sport. It's a fictional live show with stunts and storylines. He owned up to it.
