It's an exhibition.

It's pre-orchestrated.

So we're not there.

Now ESPN is trying to whitewash us, soft soak us, sell us a bill of goods, put pro wrestling on ESPN.

next to, on SportsCenter, next to football and Major League Baseball.

And that's where I think you're jumping the shark, where you're trying to act like it is a real competition.

Pro wrestling has no place on SportsCenter.

Can you agree with me on that?

That it doesn't, they're not the same thing.

No, not that they shouldn't be on ESPN as a program.

I'm not saying that.

I'm talking about making it a part of sports news as if it's a competition and we don't know who's going to win or whatever.

It has a platform, and I'm not—as long as we all know, if they want to say, before they put it on SportsCenter, and say, hey, pro wrestling is predetermined, and this is for entertainment value only, I'm okay with that.

Can you give me a disclaimer?

You could have a problem with that stuff, and I'm not going to say that sometimes there's some trickery, chicanery, and all that going on that seems pretty weird.

But there is no script at the NFL office that says exactly that Sam Ronald McDonald is going to be the Super Bowl winning quarterback for the Seattle Cowboys.

Seahawks.

There's no way that there's a script written for that because that's not the best story for the league.

So I can't buy into the idea that referees make some bad calls and there's superstar calls.

All that is absolutely true.
