Except he didn't end his career. Considering Dan is still hosting the exact same show on the exact same network. While Chael actually did say he would "slap his manager just like his wife if she didn't make him a steak medium rare". What Chael did was nitpick to make it sound like he never said that when he actually did. Which is completely unfair and petty. Its not like Dan was trying to twist his words or something.
