Bob Costas heated Vince McMahon interview pt 3

You can bet Vince McMahon squeezed the shit out of Bob's hand at the end of that interview, haha.

[@Grohlvana]

Honestly I think Vince did extremely well in what was a clearly one-sided attempt to attack Vince's character and the WWF/WWE. I've never really particularly liked Vince before but I got a lot of respect for him out of this.

[@ZFMusicTheEmperor]

You're damn right. I also can't stand when someone asks you something, CLEARLY a demonization / hit-piece / onslaught / ambush and then try to tell YOU WHAT YOUR ANSWER IS . Costas is a chickenneck jellyfish who gets off on bait trap questions..vOnly in America the completely crooked biased media

[@Chubzdoomer]

Vince didn't just own Bob Costas on his own show... he straight up destroyed him.

[@Albert5522]

Precisely.. Allways thought he was an ass, then listened to his interview on the Howard Stern show and this and he seems a class guy, obviously a cut throat business man, but that's business. The interviewer was an ass, only had negative, attacking questions, sometimes asking repeatedly without allowing a full reply, I love when sudo-intellectuals normally interview idiots, and when they interview somone intelligent they look like idiots.

[@jayjohnson182]

Same here man, never rly cared for Vince,but yu know what, that's just his WWF/E character.. he's a smart fkng guy. Humble as hell, honest answers, and nothing to hide. The Purpose of this interview was to basically make a joke of him,and make him seem like a bad guy. When really it backfired, and now I know Bob Costas is a pompus p.o.s. puppet..

[@RedroomStudios]

this is one of the problems with so many interviewers... ask a question and then 5 seconds into the answer they interrupt and try to direct the conversation in a different direction.

[@darkfeather6857]

+RedroomStudios That's because nobody wants to hear or has time for a ten minute rambling answer. Get to the point or keep it moving.

[@RedroomStudios]

+Torrey Green wrong bozo. a good interviewer asks a question and then sits back and listens to the answer. he doesnt interrupt because the guest isn't saying what you want him to say, like admitting he is "evil". you have a short attention span if you can't listen for more than 5 seconds. Costas looks like an idiot in this interview. he has his panties in a knot and makes it look as if he has a personal grievance with McMahon. and that doesnt mean I agree with what Vince says. an interview isnt about being proven right or wrong though, it's simply to allow the guest to express their opinion and to do that the interviewer needs to sit back and listen rather than making it into a confrontation.

[@darkfeather6857]

Such an intelligent response. I'm so enlightened. NOT.

[@RedroomStudios]

+Torrey Green you should be enlightened, I spelled out very simply and clearly for you.

[@MystikWizard]

Research the show "Crossfire". Interrupting equals TV ratings, which is what it is all about at the end of the day.

[@manning10231]

You can tell Bob Costas never watches wrestling he didn't even know how Owen Hart actually died he was speaking like it came from a move.

[@timothybarr6961]

John Doe I think you took his articulation wrong. Any movement, any type of movement is a maneuver lol

[@superlyger]

Bob costas was an early proponent of Vince’s. He was one of the few respected, straight men of sports who got IT as they say.

[@stewartmcrae8007]

@Ziad Khaled he was supposed to make a superhero like entrance descending from the ceiling similar to sting in wcw but something went tragically wrong and he plummeted about eighty feet to the ring

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

What?????? He said maneuver and even did a hand gesture like someone falling. Bob was a huge wrestling fan.

[@mikevega99]

everything about this interview was so uncomfortable and awkward... best interview I have ever seen.

[@MrGeo-EmitFodrol]

I like how Bob Costas quotes the Owen Hart tragedy as he died by maneuver so if you didn't know what happened you would assume a wrestling maneuver not the fact that he fell from the fucking roof before the match

[@marcusblackfellow2850]

Dr VR Wrong. Vince wanted him to use a dangerous, unvetted quick release system because it 'took too long' to get out of the safety harness that the company's top rigger put him in before. That rigger was not there that night and would not have allowed Owen to use the dangerous improvised quick release system--he had refused previously. Owen wasn't comfortable with the new system. 99% of the blame is on Vince, and the rest on Owen for not disappointing Vince by rejecting the aerial gimmick.

[@eadams1057]

@Guyinthecommentsection i saw a segment with Hart's widow showing the clip that held him. It was shocking how small it was to hold a guy 240 lbs. I have been ziplining and the apparatus protecting you from a lesser height was much more secure

[@Last_one_before_I_go]

When McMahon was shaking Costas hand at the end, I hope he was trying to break it.

It's hard to tell whether Bob actually believes what he is saying or if he's just playing devils advocate. Either way Vince has the right to program anything he wants as long as it has an audience. It's the same low brow tactics that the major networks put on most of their reality programming. It's no less mindless to me than the bachelor.

[@kkfmguy2]

I'm no fan of McMahon, but Costas and the producers really tried to smear him. And I think Vince was right. The ratings during the "attitude era" proved that there was a market for that. I also think McMahon was in the right about the media. No one will argue that the XFL wasn't a pile of shit, but the media focused on McMahon rather than the product. And I can't believe that Costas would infer that Vince would script or fix the games...

[@LarryC213]

Vince McMahon could crush him like a bug...and he was probably tempted to do so, several times during this hit-piece that was supposed to be an interview. Edited to add: Anybody who is in any way associated with NBC should never criticize anyone else on ethics or standards.

Vince didn't handle himself extremely well during this interview (but neither does Bob in most of his interviews) However, Vince really did demolish any argument/evidence that was put forward.

[@dudebro14]

Costas also came armed with NBC inside info that they weren't pleased... and he still got owned. Shifting topics to WWE was dumb too. In the XFL 30 for 30 he clearly took it out on Vince (without him in the room of course). I think XFL would've had a place in sports today. They had little choice but pulled the plug too early. The game and pool of talent has evolved greatly since then.
