"I just can't stand Christian's face"

[The Great One]

Former WWE head writer Alex Greenfield recently spoke to John Pollock of The Fight Network this week to discuss a number of WWE related topics. Below are highlights from their discussion:

On Vince McMahon wanting to censor Christian's face on TV with a blue dot: "Right before I started, there was a big show, I think it might have been in Toronto. Christian was just so completely over, and everybody thought he was going to get a push at, I think it was the World Heavyweight Championship at that point. We were on the plane one time shortly after I started, and Vince was just like “God damn, I just don’t like his face. His face really bothers me." I was like, “He’s ugly, Vince?” “No, it’s not that he’s ugly, it’s just, I don’t know, it’s ratty! You know what we should do? That Kennedy gimmick.” And we’re all like, “What?” Some see-on of the Kennedy fortune I guess got arrested for rape in the 1990s at some point. When the woman who was accusing him was on the stand, all of the networks put a blue dot over her face. Vince was like, “God damn, you know what we should do? We should put a blue dot over his face whenever he comes out.” It was the flight to Sheffield, England, also the flight where the Spirit Squad idea was invented. This was a whole flight of bad ideas."

On a backstage segment Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels had in 2005: "I always found Shawn to be an entitled prick. He tried this s*** with Angle one night; Angle wasn't having it, and threw him around like a rag-doll. I remember I was supposed to do some sort of stand-up interview, a backstage deal with Angle afterward, and Shawn comes up like a house of fire, like “You were taking liberties!” And it’s because Shawn was booked to lose a match and started his overselling nonsense, because that’s the kind of thing he always did because he’s a guy who hated losing. I don’t argue with anyone that, when he’s working with friends in exactly the way he wants, yes, he’s one of the best performers of all time. That doesn't mean you’re one of the best performers of all time, though, if you can’t do it with people who aren't your friends."

This guy is very bitter much like most of these ex-writers. Has a particular vendetta against Cokeboy and HBGOAT.

What does he say that hasn't been said before? Michaels getting his ass beat all the time has been confirmed/joked about by for over 20 years by: Sunny, British Bulldog, Nash, Triple H, X-Pac, Bret Hart, etc...

And The Christian has been a running joke for years too.

Only other interview I can find of this writer:

Typical interview.

Another toothpick bum writer hating on muh furer heavenbottom

 

[Hoss]

It does sound like something Vince would say. And it would explain the stall in Christian's push at the time. Like him or not, he was over as hell for awhile there but then just kinda hit a wall. Who knew his face was the reason?

It'll never happen, but if Vince McMahon ever wrote a completely honest tell-all autobiography, it would be pretty much the greatest thing ever.

Its ridiculous. Why doeth thy forsake lord Maximus? Do they not know he is our savior? :lord:

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Vince should have just closed his eyes.

 

[Singh]

Coke Boy should of put a mask on Capo

[I'm Billy FUCO!!]

What does Vince have against Canadian wrestlers' faces?

Remember when he went in on Bret's sour puss face

I guess he just made an exception for Edge

Court Bauer is the same ilk. Konnan's podcast would be 100x better if it was just him and MSL
