Breaking News: Glenn Beck ‘Hides’ From WWE

By Ryan Clark on February 25, 2013

WWE sent out the following during RAW:

GLENN BECK HIDES FROM WWE®

STAMFORD, Conn., February 25, 2013 – Glenn Beck declined WWE’s invitation to address our fans live on Raw® tonight and then hid from WWE reporters when approached this evening at his studios in Dallas. WWE attempted to get comment from Beck but was unable to gain building access after Beck’s representatives said he was “not in the building,” which clearly couldn’t be the case just prior to his show airing live from the same studio.

Beck referenced WWE as “stupid wrestling people” in a segment that aired on TheBlaze TV last week, criticizing a recent WWE storyline involving WWE characters World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio™, Jack Swagger™ and Zeb Colter™.

Similar to other television shows and feature films, WWE is in the entertainment business, creating fictional characters that serve as protagonists or antagonists. To create compelling and relevant content for our audience, it is important to incorporate current events into our storylines.

WWE is creating a rivalry centered on a topical subject that has varying points of view. This storyline was developed to build the Mexican American character Del Rio into a hero given WWE’s large Latino base, which represents 20 percent of our audience.

    At this point, whether Beck agrees to speak to the WWE is entirely dependent on how much press this makes.

    I was originally annoyed with WWE’s bickering over his comments. But after second thought, if they were smart, they could somehow incorporate his comments and interview dodging into the Del Rio/Swagger title match…

    This makes Glenn Beck look like a complete coward. He should at least have the decency to answer a few questions to explain his inflammatory comments.

    Personally, although this may generate some, maybe even positive, publicity for WWE; I’m not a fan of the amount of kayfabe breaking that WWE is bringing into this. They’ve pretty much proved their point here so let sleeping dogs lie and move on instead of chasing this moron any further.

    What a waste of time and energy…WWE is just trying to use Beck to get some press leading into Wrestlemania. The McMahons and Glen Beck are both crazy republican neocons anyway…Beck should just do a story on the WWE’s business practices.

    Good for Glen not giving them any publicity. Stick to wrestling Vince, politics are clearly not your thing if your wife cant beat a Communist Nazi Pig looking to rob the tax payers blind.

  • some guy
