I don't think Shane was saying he knew there was a kid under the blanket. He was just saying he saw kids on the plane by themselves and then saw Mel Phillips later with the blanket. He was disgusted that he would perform a sex act on a plane in general. I don't think he put two and two together until after the allegations came out that it was probably a kid under the blanket.

[@denniscook512]

Always thought when Funk beat Mel ass in the ring was a shoot for Mel's antics.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Did it felt and looked like a work?

[@thadevilzadvocate]

@@kenterminateddq5311It looked real. And I cheered Terry when he did that. I can watch the video back to back and still be entertained. 😂

[@kenterminateddq5311]

@@thadevilzadvocate is it on KZbin? It sounds like a work since Terry is one of the most professional workers but he might be defending the ring boys.

[@jimdebow2552]

Is Mel still alive? Scumbag!

[@CalvinTennessee]

He just admitted to seeing a child being sexually assaulted and doing absolutely nothing. He is just as guilty as everyone he’s throwing stones at.

[@0tt0z]

Shane looks like Howard the Duck.

[@Christopher_Reed44]

And you did nothing, said nothing?

[@misterspikex]

Christopher Hughes?

[@mox19380]

i guess the name of the person whose computer he was using

[@sumandsubstance7881]

Ok that was disgusting.... but why was the kid doing that? Did Mel threaten him if he didn't?

[@phillysfinest215]

Guys would give up their body to get In the business is crazy

[@FrankieBoy11-y2p]

He saw this and did nothing??? He has the balls to tell this story letting us know he watched a child be sexually assaulted?

[@Varkhal218]

I don't think he thought the other person under the blanket was a kid at the time.

[@robh193]

He saw it and did nothing

[@lisasmokette6511]

Just as guilty

[@donjohn2695]

There's a interview with Bobby the brain on KZbin and he said he'd just go to work do his job and wait for the check to arrive I think 99% are like that they just don't care what goes on their to busy with their own lives

[@johnasbury3856]

Exactly

[@onithedemonslayer3142]

Everybody thinks they would stop it if they saw it till there in that position and there job is on the line.

[@Rolo555]

They either saw it and did nothing or they just making up a lie for the interview.

[@guscurren7701]

Everyone’s acting surprised he did nothing yet nobody in the business ever did anything. This wasn’t a 1 time incident. Most of you nerds praise Pat Patterson 🌈

[@stevedayton5419]

They are all cowards in my opinion. Pathetic human beings

[@rickrowlands001]

Nerds? Grow up punk

[@TruthBomber73]

Everyone needs to stop criticizing unless you've been in his position. He was more than likely dumbfounded and not believing what he saw! He also said himself that he wasn't sure and they could have looked younger than they were. We all know someone in their 30s and 40s that still look like a teenager. You can tell it does not sit right with him, but even if he did say something, it would have been buried. You all know it would have been. Look at Referee Rita...It made no difference her going public on Sally Jessie Raphael and Barry O wasn't acknowledged after going on Phil Donahue. Money is power.

[@jeffreyivery4299]

This is why Terry Funk Kicked His Ass For Putting On His Hat He Knew

[@justafanofnerdculture7602]

You just might be right about that.

[@michaelkrolewski7406]

Too think Vince didn't like what was happening.

What did you do about it? Tell a flight attendant? Tell anyone?

[@hahajaxsontv]

Dude, has told so many stories where he looks the other way as some terrible happens.

[@mox19380]

seems like the tale of wrestling as a whole. when your job comes with ZERO protections and you've spent your life dedicating yourself to that job it becomes a Loser a career or Lose your conscience . obviously plenty were willing to sacrifice their conscience

[@UMAMIMAMU]

It's really not that unusual. We all like to think in our heads that there's a 0% chance we'd have acted differently, but science and history say otherwise. Bystander effect is real, and it's a hell of a thing. This might not _quite_ be "bystander effect" per se. But it's in league with it. I highly doubt that all, or even most of the guy who "looked the other way" did so purely out of evil or callousness or indifference. They probably mostly assumed there wasn't much they could do about it and that someone else would deal with it eventually and end it. I'm not necessarily defending them, nor am I damning them. Just saying that sometimes the human psyche is, unfortunately, more complicated than that. If it weren't, people getting killed/assaulted/beaten/etc... in front of large crowds of people wouldn't be a thing that happens sometimes.

[@donaldmurphy1405]

How was Mel still there in WWE when Shane was there?That Ring boy shit was the late 80s and every one knew about Mel,Just that he was still there in the 90s shows that something weird was going on in WWE

[@freddysmith1471]

The ring boy allegations came out in 1992.

[@mox19380]

he was abusing children in the 80s but the scandal wasn't uncovered until the 90s. the accusations came out in 92. shane was in wwf from 1990-91

[@MyNameIsUnavailable]

Shane look like he ready for a haircut 😂

[@RoadsterExpress]

he looks like a priest, get him a cross and you’re set

[@billxmas889]

It was dark on the plane it could have been Shawn Michaels, we don't know ?

[@paulhetrick1759]

More likely, The Rock.

[@mechaman7818]

Did he bring a snake on that plane? EDIT: 01:53 Oh no, that's not what I meant!

[@russellcampbell3500]

Hahaha I’m dying

[@russellcampbell3500]

Idk I call bull

[@jorgemartinezjr77]

So he saw it and let it go on?

[@mox19380]

consider that these guys were on the road some 320days a year. now we're not going to presume the pervert did this each and every night but you can probably presume that 1/2 or 1/3 of the time he was doing this stuff. it's utterly disgusting. even more disgusting. after all of it came to life and Phillips was initially fired, Vince gave Phillips his freaking job back.

[@nathanwanner..44]

He should have said something, im not defending him, but you have no idea what he waz going through at the time, dont judge the man he could have said nothing ever about the incident...
