cawthon777 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Vince was a guest during the final segment of CNBC's Kudlow & Cramer this evening. The majority of the segment was spent talking about the recent WWE trip to Iraq and Vince's opinions regarding soldier morale and the media's portrayal of what's going on over there. Vince commented that while he expected the WWE superstars to raise the morale of the troops, it was oddly enough the other way around. He then said that the US media is giving the war a very lopsided perspective, where all the emphasis is placed on the negative and the positives - of which there are many - are largely ignored. From speaking with the troops, that apparently was their #1 complaint, that their progress is not being covered as in-depth as it should be. In regards to the Iraqi citizens he came in contact with while overseas, he said they represented the majority of Iraqis in that they appreciate what is being done. He also threw in a little plug by saying they were WWE fans as well. During the final portion, Vince was asked about the recent downturn his company has seen in terms of profit. As expected, he responded by saying that pro wrestling has been around longer than anyone on the show and that it will always have a strong fanbase, through the highs and the lows. Vince was praised for doing the tour and that was the end of the show. I thought it was a decent yet short interview. Though no mention was made of the UPN Smackdown in Iraq special (the trip was mentioned, not the show itself), clips from the show were shown during the interview itself. - Taker saluting the fans from inside the ring - Torrie and Dawn Marie hugging troops in the front row - Foley dressed as Santa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
