As reported earlier, World Wrestling Entertainment has chosen to
discontinue the pay-per-view press conferences effective
immediately. One source said that the reason for this was that too
many people would come to the events to chant "TNA", not to mention
"VKM", during the conferences. This problem was especially evident
at the New Year's Revolution press conference last week as there
were several loud, audible "TNA" chants during the event. To make
matters worse, Jonathan Coachman acknowledged the chants by saying,
"that like Kansas City, TNA is inferior." All of this was audible
on the live webcast on WWE.com, but it was edited out of the
subsequent post of the video.
Anyways, the chants at the New Year's Revolution press conference
irritated Vince McMahon so much that he decided to cancel all
future pay-per-view press conferences effective immediately.
Also, WWE has really been clamping down on fans' signs in recent
weeks. For instance, at the 12/26 house show in Hershey, PA, they
were confiscating several signs at the door. The current policy
calls for anything lewd, anything TNA related, anti-babyface signs,
not to mention anything plugging a website, to be confiscated by
sercurity. Furthermore, the term "VKM" has been added to the banned
list of signs that fans aren't allowed to bring to WWE events.
There have been several reports in recent weeks of security
confiscating signs that show the initials of everyone's favorite
WWE Chairman, Vincent Kennedy McMahon. credits:www.pwmania.com
