SI, Vice Sports, HuffPo--it's not attention WWE wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 SI was also a magazine that recently had some interviews with high profile WWE folks, like HHH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click the down arrow on the tweet, I usually do copy link to tweet and just paste it here, that normally handles it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ray Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Vince's handling of this situation: HEY PAL. Looks like these chants got you down. You know what will cheer you up? A nice fishing trip! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I doubt Vince deals with any guilt over it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodzillaPerez Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I see it more like Vince telling JBL he's being exiled and after JBL gets in the car to go to the airport, Pat Patterson is seen in the backseat with a garrote. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Going through that article its weird that JBL still does this when even he admits its for the better how things have changed to not accept the type of shit he has done for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Look, I know it's 2017 and things are weird. I know how powerful social media is. I know how movements can etc. etc. But JBL just got tweeted at very positively by the president a few days ago. He's bulletproof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I think people are underestimating how powerful the remaining print magazines are. The online world is more prevalent but still worthless compared to traditional media outlets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Quite so, the 'net is pretty ephemeral, print may not be forever, but it does last a long time. It's all about perceptions, to hardcore sports fans, SI has been pretty unimportant for quite some time. However, ask someone like my wife who really only follows the Seahawks and sort of pays attention to wrestling (she goes hot or cold on it, currently in cold mode), ask her to name a print source of sports news, and she's going to cite SI. I doubt that she's ever read an issue, (I haven't bothered with in years, the photos aren't all that and a bag of chips and a magazine that I can read cover to cover in about twenty minutes just doesn't seem like a good ROI for $3.00 or whatever it costs these days). Point is, the perception of the average person is that SI is still a big deal, and guess which camp most marketing executives who direct advertising dollars are in, hardcore sports fans or average casual sports fans? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
