Bob Costas didn't pull any punches when interviewing WWF (WWE) CEO Vince McMahon on the HBO show, On the Record, March, 2001 -Their first interview together-. McMahon clearly gets pissed off

+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.

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.

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...

Bob actually had some decent questions, but the problem was that most were unrelated to XFL (which I assume is what Vince thought would make up the discussion) and the answers are much more complex than the few seconds he gave Vince to respond. It's a shame because the resulting show was more focused on interruptions, snark, and half-finished thoughts.
