The Bizarre Story Behind Vince McMahon Wanting To Censor Chrisitian's Face

Former WWE lead writer Alex Greenfield was recently interviewed by John Pollock on Thursday. He revealed some interesting insight into the creative process during his time with WWE from 2005-06. One of the the more bizarre revelations was how Vince McMahon wanted to literally censor Christian's face with a blue a dot because he couldn't stand it!
"Right before I started, there was a big show, I think it might have been in Toronto. Christian was just so completely over, and everybody thought he was going to get a push at, I think it was the World Heavyweight Championship at that point. We were on the plane one time shortly after I started, and Vince was just like “God damn, I just don’t like his face. His face really bothers me.” I was like, “He’s ugly, Vince?” “No, it’s not that he’s ugly, it’s just, I don’t know, it’s ratty! You know what we should do? That Kennedy gimmick.” And we’re all like, “What?” Some see-on of the Kennedy fortune I guess got arrested for rape in the 1990s at some point. When the woman who was accusing him was on the stand, all of the networks put a blue dot over her face. Vince was like, “God damn, you know what we should do? We should put a blue dot over his face whenever he comes out.” It was the flight to Sheffield, England, also the flight where the Spirit Squad idea was invented. This was a whole flight of bad ideas."
Greenfield also discusses a backstage argument between Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels in 2005 and build for SummerSlam this year

CM Punk v. Brock Lesnar is the best match of the year in the WWE by far. Fantastic.Comment

Daniel Bryan clearly watched G1 last week.
No less than four spots in this match were lifted right from New Japan. The Makabe sit up spot, the slap exchange, etcComment

Jesus he won with Nakamura's Boma Ye....lol
People going apeshit for a match that Bryan basically copied from a bunch of shit he watched last week.Comment

I have no doubt that SummerSlam will be the best WWE pay per view of the year.
Christian/Del Rio
CM Punk/Lesnar
Bryan/Cena
Are all very good or better matches.
That ending was the drizzling shits. Predictable WWE overbooking.Comment

But according to WWE marks its good long term booking.Comment

Punk/Brock was awesome.
Bryan/Cena was great, figured as soon as he won that Orton would be turning with HHH. Eh. Hopefully, they don't push Bryan back down for a long while, he deserves a good chase for the rest of the year (even if the WM main may be Orton vs. Cena I guess? ewww).
Del Rio, who apparently legit got his ass beat this weekend with McIntyre by some group, had a hell of a match with Christian, too.
Good show for those 3 matches.
