The apologists stance is "well, it's WWE" and so this type of thing is expected of them. While it's true that a leopard doesn't change it's spots, it still doesnt' excuse what they're doing.

 

That's like excusing Michael Jackson for molesting children (allegedly) because, well, he's a molester.

I was wondering why they were delaying the GM angle. It will be interesting if Vince will get behind Dusty as I could see him having a big problem with giving someone with Dusty's look a permanent television character.

How do you even train a crowd to do that?

You should see OVW crowds, it's like a time warp back to the old Techwood studios that Saturday Night used to be in.
