It's not surprising, he has a lot of issues. Lots of rage and hate, known for telling nasty, bitter stories about people and situations that upset him, he went nuts at a Dairy Queen drive-thru, developed an eating disorder and addiction from self-induced job stress, he went nuts during Trump's term and started blocking people and posting Nazi stuff to call people fascists, and here's a story of him overdosing to get himself through plane trips. He is not a healthy individual. He's a basket case who needed to quit the business a long time ago and get therapy.

@@dsadams17 I'd say, let vinnymac run the entertainment side of wwe, and let Paul E, cornette and hunter run raw smackdown and nxt! Let hunter keep going with nxt, let Paul run smackdown and corny take raw! Drop all the writers! Let all 3 write bullet points for da people lol, and have ONLY past wrestlers produce matches in conjunction with JC, Paul and hunter on their shows. Immediately this fixes like 70% of their issues and let's all hire ups see who is already a massive star, who is good and who needs help! You also get to see if everyone knows their character enough to do their own promos too! With Vince, hunter, Paul and JC only helping talent on the direction of the story if they need the help! These ideas alone, skyrocket ratings again and leave creativity to the actual talent and only a few others if they need it. You don't really have to change anything as far as the pg or pg 14 rating because you really leave it on the talent to get over, and if they don't get over themselves or with help, they can get help from the producers, or their brands leader, or the talent they are working with. I really wish vinnymac or someone higher up would see this. If JC isn't the guy, approach Eric bischoff or even have Steve Austin run raw. Its there for them, its really just that easy to do.

I've heard JR tell this story at least 10 times and it seems that the story had changed. The way he always tells it is that he told the border guys that Jim was in character and he couldn't break that so that he didn't look like he wasn't a heel. Now he changes the whole thing hmmm
