Not sure he was equating things, but he did use Dax's personal moment to throw shit at him. It might be even worse depending on how one views things. I guess he should have tackled this in a different way - how much shit do wrestling writers get on the daily? Are they independent contractors? Are there other unfortunate interactions with wrestlers we are not privy to? Are they even making enough money to put up with workplace bullshit?
On a different note, that RVD shoot is great because it also exposed Taz as a fake tough guy and I was never able to look at him the same way - in fact him turning into this goofy pudgy dude made him, in a weird way, look more endearing.
And regarding what he said on the clip, HBK is one of those guys who neeeeeveeeeeeeeeer sounded like a sincere person. Maybe when he was just the biggest piece of shit on Earth, around 95-97, but never when he was supposed to be a face.
