McMahon/Costas Interview Named One Of The Worst Ever

 

SI blasts infamous interview....

 

SportsIllustrated.com has named the March 2001 Bob Costas/Vince McMahon interview from HBO's On The Record show as the 10th worst interview in radio/TV history. The interview was highlighted by the fact that the interview turned into an on-air verbal fight, with McMahon telling Costas to "shut up" among other things. The main focus of the interview was the XFL which shut down a year later.

 

News On Futures Of Orton, Triple H, & Edge

 

...and how they all have to do with each other....

 

Most believe that WWE is planning to put the World Title on Randy Orton at Summerslam and then turn him face, leading to a break from Evolution. WWE already seems to be planning for a Orton vs. Triple H World Title match at WrestleMania next year, but word is that the plan is to have Triple H be the face in that match.

 

WWE is considering involving Edge into Orton's face turn, making it a double turn with Edge going heel. WWE is considering having Edge feud with Chris Benoit following Summerslam. Interestingly enough, a few rumors are going around that WWE may put Edge in Evolution now that Orton will likely be removed from the group.

Actually, I retract my earlier statement. The Joe Namath incident as #1 over Rome-Everett is fucking criminal.

agreed. Namath was drunk, but the Everett incident featured an asshole "interviewer" bating a player. Different levels.
