Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted September 24, 2002 --I watched the WWE press conference to for WrestleMania coming to Seattle next year. Early on, WWE superstars were introduced. They mostly stayed in character. It was like a big, worked pep rally. --Here are the items of note that came out of the "press conference". Vince McMahon said that the Rock would be at WrestleMania. Someone asked him about business being down seemingly everywhere but Seattle, and Vince said that the business runs in cycles and that they will have it back up to where it was by Mania. Some goof asked Vince if he believed there were actually people who thought that wrestling wasn't real. HHH had a great line and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest man in America". Brock Lesnar asked the fan to 'bring his dumb ass up here and find out". Of course, the "reporter" didn't take him up on it. A guy asked Vince about the drug and steroid testing program from years ago, and Vince said he didn't understand the question and told the guy to stand up and take his shirt off. Those dirty words ended the Q and A quite abruptly. Chris Jericho made the save and asked if the people were excited to have Mania come to Seattle, and they popped. Coach then quickly ended the press conference. [Credit: 1Wrestling.com] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sandman9000 Report post Posted September 24, 2002 He'll be punished for upstaging BOTH Vince and HHH. Looks like Jericho will be in NY for XIX this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nikowwf Report post Posted September 24, 2002 Thats an obnoxious question. If at the yankees press conference before the playoffs some goof asked if Derek Jeter took roids, the yankees would blow him off. Lets not make it that since Vince blew him off, it was a terrible thing. It wasnt an appropriate time for the question. Niko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted September 24, 2002 the name of the guy who asked the steroid question was Brent Cremin (SP?) of KIRO Radio in Seattle. He also asked the question about the attendance #s being down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted September 24, 2002 I wonder if the product will be any better by Wrestlemania 19? Not that it's not bad now, but I will admit that it could be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2002 Vince says supposedly it should be better by WrestleMania XIX. I'm glad to see that they're returning to Roman Numerals this time instead of that X7 X8 crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
