On the Nancy grace issue: I have no clue why wrestlers even go on CNN. They seem to have an institutionalized boner for ragging on wrestling, wrestling fans, and pretending it's the 1980's (steroids for instance). They should have been blacklisted after that John Cena interview where they edited his responses to a bunch of blindsided questions to make him look like he wasn't answering anything.

Nancy Grace and Jane Valez Mitchell (I think that's how you spell it).  Everybody knows that these two are never informed.  They're just there to cause outrage.  Whenever some expert is there and actually disputes what they're saying, they are taken off camera, their mic is cut, or they aren't allowed to say whatever they were saying.  That's part of the reason why HLN loses pretty much any credibiltiy from people trying to actually learn what's going on in the world.  They're just "entertainment" like a B-Grade talk show.

Starting at about 5:40, Colin Cowherd on ESPN takes a shit on the pro wrestling industry after The Warrior's passing. Some of his points are well-founded and are one of the reasons I don't care for the WWE, like Vince's dominance over the industry forcing workers to be independent contractors and not providing them insurance. On others, he's just plain uninformed and partying like it's 1999. He doesn't acknowledge the WWE's wellness policy. He's a shock jock that I listen to a few times a week, so don't take everything he says to heart.
