WWE Locker Room Reaction to CM Punk on Colt Cabana's Podcast
Apparently just about everyone in the locker room, even those who disliked Punk and were happy to see him leave, loved listening to him on the podcast and were happy that he said everything he did regarding what is going on in the company. Also, while Vince McMahon was upset at what Punk said, HHH is reportedly fuming at Punk as one talent texted Bryan Alvarez that HHH wants to "kill" Punk.

I can only imagine how many times Tommy Dreamer turns that interview about himself.
ReplyDeleteOk, this is the truth, I just woke up and was still groggy, and when I saw an early "Daily Update", i had to make 100% sure that it was Saturday, and not Friday where I was 2,5 hours late from work.
ReplyDeleteFunny how some of the lockerroom is happy that Punk spoke out. "Voice of the Voiceless" indeed.
ReplyDeleteOther news missing from the update; This year’s Hell in a Cell did 76,000 PPV buys compared to 228,000 for last year’s.
ReplyDeleteNow I don't know if this is Domestic or International, but it seems like WWE are having their cake and eating it too. Despite the network and some carriers dropping WWE, they are still getting respectable PPV numbers.
I can't wait to see the Survivor Series buyrate. We'll find out exactly how many WWE fans are complete idiots for paying for something they could've gotten for free.
ReplyDeleteNot everyone is able to get the Network for various reasons.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, 76K legit PPV buys on top of network numbers is not too shabby of a number. Still definitely a loss in this initial year of the Network, but that 76K number sure helps.
ReplyDeleteIt again goes to my point that "people are creatures of habit", and they are still willing to pay for WWE, just not this new scary technology Network thingy.
I started to watch the trailer and had to turn it off after a couple of minutes because Dreamer wouldn't shut the hell up.
ReplyDeleteYes. Including being complete idiots.
ReplyDeleteIf you think financially (ignoring costs) WWE get all of the money from the network, but for PPV, they only get 50% so. for every $50 PPV they sell they get $25
ReplyDeleteThis means that they need to get 2.5 network subscribers for the month to be equal to every old PPV buyer. With 150,000 fewer viewers they needed 450,000 subscribers and I believe on the last quarterly report they had about 850,000.
Whilst WWE may not be making billions on the network and due to the huge start up costs are probably still in the red, they are a million miles away from being in a bad shape financially.
"Barbie, what is your favorite ECW moment?"
ReplyDelete"When I was in Extreme Expose! Tee hee!"
"...."
If Barbie Blank a big enough name that we are supposed to recognise it without the character name? Even with her face as the thumbnail, I didn't realise who it was until Dreamer mentioned her character.
ReplyDeleteYep, I always laugh at the WCW2000 comparisons. It's one thing to be upset that your favorite guys aren't main eventers, but it's one of the dumbest comparisons ever. Unless you really wanna compare Cena and Orton in their 30's, and Show/Kane in their 40's, to the 50+ year old club that could barely move in WCW.
ReplyDeleteA percentage of the network money goes to MLB Advanced Media.
ReplyDeleteDon't ask me! I'm just a girl! Tee hee hee!
ReplyDeleteTommy hit that.
ReplyDeleteI will say this she seems more interesting to listen to than most of the Divas that have been interviewed.
Isn't Tommy still with Belulah?
ReplyDelete"Whilst WWE may not be making billions on the network and due to the huge start up costs are probably still in the red, they are a million miles away from being in a bad shape financially."
ReplyDeleteTHIS. While the Network numbers aren't want they want them to be, overall they are increasing incrementally. And they're making more money on TV than they were before. This is hardly a company that is hurting.
Of course they are. Punk is saying what they're thinking. Until they can be a point financially where they can do what Punk did, they have to tow the line. And if I was Dolph Ziggler and Cesaro, I would deny knowing that Punk did the podcast because I can see them buried if HHH knew they even cracked a smile about it.
ReplyDeleteNot 50% though.
ReplyDeleteIsn't he hardcore?
ReplyDeleteAnyone asked about that podcast needs to be like "CM Who? That chipmunk guy in the indies? He's kinda funny. But seriously I've never heard of the guy, and HHH is the best."
ReplyDeleteYes to both of you.
ReplyDelete"Barbie, I understand you were Kelly Kelly. Did you know I am a former ECW Champion and that I was going to buy into ECW? Did you know I helped out behind the scenes? I had a feud with Raven. It lasted forever. Go ahead Kelly, ask me anything."
ReplyDeleteWWE's last Network number was 731K, not awful, but not great.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but we need to stop with the idea that all the money from the network goes strait to WWE.
ReplyDelete731k is not great compared to what? Is there an equivalent out there that is doing better? (Netflix and similar are not an equivalent as they have a far broader fanbase)
ReplyDeleteCompared to 4 million watching RAW every week.
ReplyDeleteCompared to there "break even"
They really need to roll it out on all the Smart TVs they can. I think that would help.
ReplyDelete"Wasn't that during the 90's? Ew. You're old!"
ReplyDelete*while spotting HHH as he put up 600 LBs on the pench
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, yes. They need to "play the game" (pun sort of intended)
ReplyDeleteThat might be Tommy's exact words.
ReplyDeleteThat *is* what it's all about
ReplyDeleteI'm still under the belief that when Vince dies (and he doesn't come back as a head in a jar from Futurama), the territories will eventually return and the industry will go old school as wrestlers will have options if they don't like where they are. And that's just one benefit...
ReplyDelete2015 will be they year too see if the Network was the right decision or not. They underestimated the startup costs and overestimated what they would get in rights fees. They made a bunch of cuts to stop the bleed. After that, 2015 is going to be the make or break for the network.
ReplyDeleteJust think if they added WWE FIlms to the network they could compete with Netflix! Also where is XFL???
ReplyDeleteBarbie: "Excuse me Tommy, but I was in the real ECW. You and some elderly gentleman named Raven were in some backyard company named ECW. It's sad you still talk about it."
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing HHH's face next time he's in the ring and massive CM Punk chants ring out
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen No Holds Barred in years. If it was on, I'd watch.
ReplyDeleteCancelled my network subscription. I would rather dig out my old VHS tapes than give them the satisfaction of having my money. There is something very nostalgic and wonderful about watching an old show on a VHS that was recorded off of a black box.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteIndeed
ReplyDeleteRight? Freaked me out a little bit.
ReplyDeleteMore interesting to me is seeing how Ryback would handle the same situation.
ReplyDeleteMy college picks:
ReplyDeleteOregon over those no good Beavers
Alabama over Auburn
Florida upsets Florida State
Mississippi State over Ole Miss
Ohio State over Michigan
Good thing they have the eight second delay; alot of audio drops.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking they should have Ryback repeat that table spot with whoever he's wrestling at TLC
ReplyDeleteI don't know why i was reminded of fat Barry Windham being pushed in 1999 when I read your post, but there you go.
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming that the tv rights for the films are set up that they can't also broad cast them themselves on another channel. Otherwise there is no good reason why they weren't part of day 1 roll out.
ReplyDeleteOle Miss over Miss St.gonna be a 10 to 7 type game. Prescott will not make enough plays/
ReplyDeleteFlorida/FSU will be interesting.
And I didn't even WANT to be champion
ReplyDeleteIt was sadness in downtown Tempe yesterday (I work two blocks away from Sun Devil Stadium). I have zero use for the AZ teams. Sun Devils always choke and the Wildcats are coached by the idiot who set back the Michigan program several decades.
ReplyDeleteIt's my favourite day of the college football season, Ohio State vs Michigan. GO BUCKS!!
ReplyDeleteAs a Ducks fan, I'm worried about the Pac-12 Championship game.
ReplyDeleteSigns by Tesla was far lower than I would have expected.
ReplyDeleteMy distain for for Jimbo and Winston makes me root for whoever they're playing
ReplyDelete"Sorry, I'm married to Phil Brooks. Never heard of this other guy."
ReplyDeleteNot interesting
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll probably watch
That's good. Change is good.
They give pretty much anyone a shoot interview, huh?
I thought Godsmack was WAAAAY too high.
ReplyDeleteTesla was a very underrated band. They got unfairly lumped in with the hair metal bands. Tesla did a great job on that song.
ReplyDeleteWell, I mean. Punk mostly just said that Ryback was green as shit, which we all knew and which he knew as well.
ReplyDeleteWow. Group Z is LOADED.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Tesla.
ReplyDeleteDamn right. Jeff Keith has such a great voice.
ReplyDeleteBut you've probably heard the song.
ReplyDeleteI hate Ohio State. The fan base is so over the top
ReplyDeleteHUH? what tv rights?
ReplyDeleteAll there movies were or still are on Netflix. I havnt been a subscriber in years. Legendary and is on Hulu.
I actually did it before I went to bed last night and scheduled it for 9:30am.
ReplyDeleteHe'll have a real zinger in mind.
ReplyDeleteRyback should come out in a Punk shirt on Raw.
ReplyDeleteI did just play it to see if I knew it.
ReplyDeleteI obviously know the Five Man Electrical Band original, but I've never heard this cover. It's good though, to be honest.
Yeah, I remember them getting a shitload of local radio play but wasnt really a fan. That was their most popular song though. I went with:
ReplyDeleteHip Hop Hooray
Friday I'm In Love
Sex and Candy
Scenario
Signs
I think you can get it on a few of them now.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I was hoping that since the Authority was no longer in power, that we wouldn't see Triple H on TV for a while.
ReplyDeleteI would hate for there to not be a major national promotion but at the same time it would be fun to track down local indy shows as the only option for watching new wrestling.
ReplyDeleteGood addition to a Saturday morning, Bayless. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI married a Wolverine fan when Rich Rod was running the show so you can only imagine the meltdowns I had to endure since then. Michigan gets worked today, Uncle Brady gets canned and the prodigal son Jim Harbaugh returns when he bolts from the Bay.
ReplyDeleteNot exactly. There was a discussion on this a couple months ago. At best, they are breaking even. McMahon wouldn't have promised the moon if he thought 750K subs and less than 100K buys was going to break the bank.
ReplyDeleteNow all TNA needs to do is get rid of Taz.
ReplyDeleteScott Steiner would be the perfect guy for color commentary.
ReplyDeleteOn a serious not Lanny Poffo would do an excellent job.
ReplyDeleteGraham is just like Houston Nutt. You probably will not get that and it's fine. He is a guy that will get an upset here and there, maybe win a division once in awhile. He'll do just enough to keep his job way longer than he should.
ReplyDeleteA Raw beginning without a 20 minute HHH promo??? That is madness!
ReplyDeleteStill watchng that Star Wars teaser.
ReplyDeleteHa! Completely forgot about that. Good timing I guess
ReplyDeleteWhatever was their most popular song? I thought that was Voodoo...
ReplyDeleteMy picks were basically the same except swap out Signs for Nothing Else Matters.
I don't think I even heard of the Five Man Electrical Band until the cover came out.
ReplyDeleteThey'll just replace it with 20-minute John Cena promos. Shit, this week had a 20-minute Daniel Bryan promo.
ReplyDeleteWell, aren't you and I cut from different cloth then.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy some Tribe Called Quest.
ReplyDeleteHell no. I can't Lanny
ReplyDeleteI like it better in the dimly lit TV tapings when the ring announcer would go through who was the state athletic commissioner, the doctor in attendance, the timekeeper..
ReplyDeleteit's THE ohio state
ReplyDeleteI am always curious about the doctor and whether or not he's worthless...
ReplyDeleteThey're in my top 3 favourite hip-hop groups of all time.
ReplyDeleteFuck THE Ohio State.
ReplyDeleteBack in those days, Zahorian was the doctor and he definitely had some value.
ReplyDeleteSo, by my count, we're 260 songs into the 640-song tournament, with 38 days left of qualifying rounds.
ReplyDeleteFor some folks here, the Greatest Song of the 90s tournament will be their longest relationship...
And every doc since has been less and less useful.
ReplyDeleteSo it was in the can? Not LLIIVVEE??? BOOOOOOO!!!!
ReplyDeleteLet's forget all our troubles with a big bowl of strawberry ice cream!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am stoked. Why must I wait a year for this!
ReplyDeleteEvery in-house doctor. But they go to Andrews when it's serious enough.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone actually see the value in a Kelly Kelly shoot interview? Especially one conducted by Tommy Dreamer? What could she POSSIBLY bring to the table of interest in a shoot?
ReplyDelete"Oh, I wasn't REALLY an exhibitionist. That was just for the cameras."
Fucking fascinating.
I was just reading that if Austin asks Vince about the Punk podcast, Vince will "give a corporate answer and move on quickly." If this happens, I hope Austin won't let it die and keeps hounding him until a real answer is given.
ReplyDeleteI was hurt by that too. Tesla was my favorite band for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they'll agree on what they'll talk about beforehand. Austin and Vince are friends, ol' Stone Cold isn't going to blindside him.
ReplyDeleteNeither has Sheldon Cooper.
ReplyDelete640 songs was way too many; that's over 1 song per week. Half the songs I never even heard of or haven't listened to since the 90s. 200 songs would have been enough and instead of top 5 songs, top 2 would have been better.
ReplyDeleteThey got rid of the GOOD announcer they had and kept the marblemouthed mook from Brooklyn? God, TNA...
ReplyDeleteHa ha. ESPN is playing that song now.
ReplyDeleteDid you see that cut of Big Bang Theory when they cut out the laugh track, and it turns the show into this dark and uncomfortable piece. Where everyone is just awful and awkward to each other?
ReplyDeleteI think Ryback would have fun with it, or ignore it. But yeah, HHH... Look out... I'm actually looking forward to it myself, and I never had a problem with good ol' Haitch.
ReplyDeleteSo are we voting on literally every song of the 90's?
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the car and the scientist; never heard of the band until a few years ago
ReplyDeleteWho is Sheldon Cooper?
ReplyDeleteIt's even on Yahoo.com. So yep, it's mainstream.
ReplyDeletehttps://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/the-turnstile/cm-punk-rips-wwe--medical-doctors-in-explosive-interview-225851818.html
Most of the days in the competition, there are tons of tough choices where I wouldn't be able to narrow it down to 2. Shit, I have trouble sometimes narrowing it down to 5.
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with 640 songs - there was a lot of good shit in the 90s, maybe too much.
I think there may have been a few songs released over a decade that didn't make the list.
ReplyDeleteI like Tenay, but I also think replacing him with Matthews might be a good move, so I'm willing to keep an open mind about it. It'd also be cool if TNA did this because they want to start a youth movement in the company.
ReplyDeleteAgain, my problem isn't with replacing Tenay, it's with replacing Tenay while leaving Taz on air. If you're going to make a change, take out the bigger problem, not the lesser of two evils.
ReplyDeleteVince, HHH and the rest have the mindset that their audience are casual fans and pre-teens that don't dig deep for insider info. If the CM Punk chants start, everyone will ignore them. But I can see Big Steph going rogue on that.
ReplyDeleteI would have narrowed it down to 2-3 songs per artist. There have been some really obscure ones even from artists I like.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be better to have Matthews be the play by play with Tenay on color? Taz is useless.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Mr. Orton, she probably screwed about a dozen or so wrestlers while she was there. So, there's that, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThere are tons on the lists that I've never heard.
ReplyDeleteI kind of like that it's a huge list though. Almost everyone gets to see their own personal favourite that way, and there will probably be some surprises.
But think of Botchamania!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice, screw their awful product
ReplyDeletehaha, nope, but that sounds good. They did the opposite with Breaking Bad, adding a laugh track to it. It's equally awesome (on youtube somewhere)
ReplyDelete"So just how badly does steroids affect..."
ReplyDeleteAre there any current wrestlers who are well known by the general public? Most people know the rock, Brock, flair, hogan, austin, but what about people current wrestling?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I would have changed was having more than one group in a day, which I think is what they did for the TV characters tournament. We'd be almost done by now with the play-in rounds.
ReplyDeleteI've only watched it the one time, I need to see it a few more times.
ReplyDeleteCena, Vince McMahon and Big Show are the only ones that spring to mind.
ReplyDeleteThe wwe has told shareholders over and over that they need 1.3 to 1.5 million domestic network subscriptions to replace the domestic ppv market. That 76k is the domestic and international total. They are still far away on this.
ReplyDeleteBrock counts, doesn't he? He still kind of wrestles currently.
ReplyDeleteHHH
ReplyDeleteDamn CM Punk for being happy, telling the truth, and being out of fucks to give! He must die!!!
ReplyDelete- HHH
Something slightly related, when watching WM 30 at the theatre, the girl next to me said she had not watched wrestling in about 12 years. So the 1st match was "HHH vs That little guy". The 2nd match was Kane and the New Age Outlaws against those 3 riot gear guys. The battle royale was The Big Show eliminated by that strong bald guy.
ReplyDeleteFunny how every match at first had an "old school guy" vs a new guy.
I'd honestly rather see 20 minute Triple H promos over 20 minute Bryan promos. Hunter at least has 15 years experience of doing them.
ReplyDeleteYou watched WM30 at a theater?
ReplyDeleteNot great compared to what they needed to get to turn a profit. That 731k is a wide number by the way. They were under 700k domestically. The american subscription base has stayed the same basically all year long. That is very bad
ReplyDeleteYep! No Network in Canada back then (still sucks now), so I often watch the Rumble and Mania at the theatre. It's actually a super fun atmosphere. I'm doing it again this year, assuming it's available.
ReplyDeleteTriple H has his "Randy Savage."
ReplyDeleteAround other people?
ReplyDelete:: shiver ::
If they did similar shows here in the UK (never gonna happen due to time difference) I'd jump on that in a second.
ReplyDeleteI would also mention Chris Jericho because of dancing with the stars and Stacy Kiebler for same reason and dating George Clooney
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to the theater to watch the Rumble. It's the perfect show to watch in a group.
ReplyDeletehaha, are you the "anti high 5 guy"? I don't recall who that was.
ReplyDeleteI'm not excited for the new Star Wars really. I got my fill of that universe with the movies they released. Ultron>Episode 7
ReplyDeleteNo. I just hate people.
ReplyDeleteFun thing was last year's Rumble, I arrived about 5 minutes before the 1 hour pre show... And I was legit the ONLY person there for about 20 minutes. Thank goodness it ended up with around 100 people. Wasn't looking good for a while!
ReplyDeleteHHH may go to CM Punks house, and bring an actual shovel with him.
ReplyDeleteI saw Rumble 2013 at my local Buffalo Wild Wings, That was awesome to see with a different type of group of people and to see some of the adult marks come out who thought everything was real
ReplyDeleteCena, Triple H.
ReplyDeleteHe's retired but all my female cousins had the hots for Edge.
LLOL nicely done.
ReplyDeleteCompared to it not hitting the million they've been expecting all year--the million they need to be profitable. Also every time they've released a new subscriber number the total of new subs since previous has been less. They lost so many subscribers over the summer that the global rollout resulted in a positive net gain of just a few thousand. The free month will likely inflate the next numbers a bit, but it's also a month where they made no profit off new subs.
ReplyDeleteAs for the PPV buys still being high, while it's good news in one respect (earning money), it still shows there are fans out there willing to spend money on WWE yet can't or won't take advantage of the better deal the Network offers. You either have to believe these fans are so loyal they choose to give WWE $50 instead of $9.99; that there just rock stupid; or they simply haven't subscribed for some technological or other practical reason. Extrapolate these numbers to the overall fanbase in particular, and the population in general, and WWE really has to start wondering if the Network was a viable venture to begin with.
As much as it's going to take time to build up, and WWE needs to be patient and stay the course, well... we know Vince McMahon isn't patient, and is prone to changing things often. And with investors breathing down his neck to make the Network show a profit...
I've done the theatre thing, it's usually pretty fun.
ReplyDeletethe guy in front of me was complaining when both Diesel and JBL entered the Rumble. If I had pop corn, i would have dumped it on his head. Those 2 were awesome!
ReplyDeleteGod I hate all the big 10 college football teams. Bunch a fucking mid western jack offs. I hope Michigan vs OSU ends in a 0 to 0 tie.
ReplyDeleteYep, watched them all for the 1st time around 2007, was shocked by how much I loved it... But I didn't watch that "Clone Wars" cartoon movie... or any of the TV series.... And I just feel "Meh" about this upcoming one. It's like, it's DONE. (note: Since I watched them all in the span of 1 month, I am 100% accepting of the 3 prequels, since I had 0 expectations or nostalgia)
ReplyDeleteI bet a midget cm punk jobs to Big Show on Raw soon.
ReplyDeleteHEY PETRIE! YOU SUCK!! (just kidding.)
ReplyDeleteKnowing WWE, they'll turn him heel and have him do the same spot to Ziggler, the guy fans love.
ReplyDeleteIt would be bad for business, but DAMN, I love the trolling nature of it. :)
ReplyDeleteSmart move would be to just plain ignore it. Butt....
ReplyDeleteWhich is what will happen on television.
ReplyDeleteThis is WWE, they don't ignore grudges, they hold on to them.
ReplyDeleteTenay isnt very good at doing the color. TNA really needs to copy NXT and have a veteran wrestler (who can still work) be the color guy like Regal, so they can involve him in storylines occasionally.
ReplyDeleteLanny needs to be doing something, but I think he's trying to keepa good relationship with WWE (and WWE with him, probably to induct Randy in the HOF this year).
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'd like to see Lanny do a bunch of talking heads stuff for whatever projects they can come up with.
I enjoy how both Matt Striker and Josh Matthews are still able to have a career in wrestling thanks to Lucha Underground and TNA. Both were underrated in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI'm to same. When I love something I can't get enough of it.
ReplyDeleteWhile I loved the Star Wars movies I've gotten my fill of them. This movie could be great but I'm just not frothing at the mouth to see it.
At least that Daniel Bryan promo was fresh and entertaining.
ReplyDeleteCan someone help me out? What did punk say on the podcast that pissed wwe off?
ReplyDeleteIt's the part between the 1 second mark and the 2 hour mark.
ReplyDeleteFor the first few minutes, sure. Then it got tedious, like all long promos do.
ReplyDeleteCan I at least get a 3-0 Buckeyes win?
ReplyDeleteHurting... no. But it is a company showing either zero growth or drops in a number of key stats and revenue streams: the most troubling being live event attendance. TV ratings are a dangerous measure of success because the last things fans do before going away is giving up watching the free TV show.
ReplyDeleteThere was A LOT of talk about how poorly WWE treated Punk in terms of his medical needs being ignored. That could get the company in a lot of trouble.
ReplyDeleteSaid Vince had scrawny arms
ReplyDeleteCanadian technology never advanced past 1985
ReplyDeleteLove you too, sunshine.
ReplyDeleteWhere can u listen to this podcast?
ReplyDeleteEspecially angering: That terrible song about Abdullah the Butcher.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Art of Wrestling podcast, but for whatever reason the podcast app on my iPhone isn't up to date.
ReplyDeleteQuickest & easiest is on YouTube. It's on the "Popular on YouTube" section right now.
ReplyDelete*Red Hook
ReplyDeleteI tried listening to it yesterday on the AoW website and it seemed to have not been uploaded to the main site yet. Had to listen on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteRed Hook is in Brooklyn.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I'm shocked that house show crowds are even as big as they are. It has been accepted even by casual fans that there is ZERO that is going to happen there, and every big match/angle is on TV instead (aka, the opposite of the 80's/early 90's.
ReplyDeleteI think the only draw really IS to see how big the Big Show is in person.
Thanks guys
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about Cena is that if you cheer him, or if you boo him DAMN IT HE RESPECTS YOU!
ReplyDeleteLooks like there was a little Twitter exchange between Ambrose & Road Dogg. Ambrose asked why Hunter and Vince were jerks to Punk and Dogg replied that we only know one side of the story and will never know the other.
ReplyDeleteOh Dean... To quote Lana... "SHUT. TUP".
ReplyDeleteI thought he was having a conversation with some random fan. Since when was it Dean Ambrose?
ReplyDeleteHe's working on that second home.
ReplyDeleteYou can't prove that.
ReplyDelete"I didn't quit I was fired"
ReplyDeleteThat could be the start of it, if I was his boss I'd be kind of pissed that he's completely delusional and the alleged fans of my product were eating it right up.
