Bill Simmons (who interviewed Nick Khan before WM) mocks the idea of asking about Vince McMahon. He doesn’t ask because the interviewee would give a “shitty answer,” he says. Simmons: “Neither of us want to talk about it.” Cody says the answers can get worse when there’s a follow-up.
The timing of this clip right after the one of HHH talking about Vince and saying we should move past it (when the case is still on going) is interesting.
Boo fuckIn hoo. This is why I say most wrestling interviews are not to be taken seriously ever. All these dorks ever want to do is become buddies with their favorite wrestler. And then you have a bunch of wimpy dudes too afraid they are gonna get David Schultzed.
Worse than a shitty answer is a shitty interviewer.
When you don't want to ask the hard questions you're not doing an interview youre doing propaganda
Exactly, this and so many questions about AEW when he left there neatly 4 years ago, tells you exactly what this is.
Even if he ‘knows’ the answer is going to be crap, thats still not a good reason to not ask the question. If the interviewer is scared of making the interviewee look bad it then immediately becomes a WWE PR exercise & not a journalistic interview. WWE co-opted media doesn’t even try to hide it now.
Fuck this company lmao fuck Cody
Didn't that used to be the biggest reason to ask those questions? Not just to placate the guest and serve bland slop and let deplorable people be deplorable. And thus silently boost deplorability. No point in ever reading anything Simmons is involved with in the future
That's some great journalism right there
So much for journalism.
Very considerate of Simmons to lotion up before presenting a handjob as an interview.
