Up roars came from all over the Internet this week as the WWE chairman Vince McMahon openly mocked WWE commintator Jim Ross who suffers from Bell’s Palsy which can cause temporary paralysis of facial muscles. In a backstage segment Vince mocked JR in a way alot of people are calling un-called for. Why would Vince do this when he is openly trying to play a face? Who knows cause i sure don’t but what I can say is even I thought that was in bad taste and left me kind of sour, but former WCW announcer Mark Madden took it a step futher and posted this on Twitter:
“McMahon mocking Ross’ Bell’s Palsy was unforgivable. What a scumbag, pure and simple. Just a twisted, emotionally crippled jerkoff,” He added “McMahon wasn’t mocking a stranger. Ross is one of WWE’s most valued employees ever. Ross’ big sin: He knows more about wrestling than Vince.”
There is alot more but I’m not gonna spell it out for you. WWE is constantly promoting the Be a STAR program which is trying to stop bulling, which is fine and people need to separate the good from the bad, but this drew the line. Forgive my rambling but this pissed me off seeing as Vince who was a FACE at the time this happened, this felt dumb and in bad taste and just not right, it was like Mark Madden said a slap in the face to someone who’s helped the company for so long. But I ask how do promote anti bulling when you bluntly show stuff to this to the very fans your trying to give the message. You can probably look the skit up on youtube somewhere I won’t show it or provide a link. I dunno how JR feels about it but I can tell you there is alot out there who feel this very same way.
