Father Of Dead Wrestler Lance Cade Blasts Linda McMahon

This seems self inflicted on McMahon’s behalf. The response she gave sounds flippant.

Harley McNaught was planning to stay silent and grieve. Then he saw what Linda McMahon said about his dead son.

McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, was asked last week about the death of McNaught’s son, who wrestled for the WWE as Lance Cade and who had struggled with an addiction to painkillers before being released by the company, then dying earlier this month of heart failure.

‘I might have met him once,’ McMahon said as she insisted that the company could not be blamed for deaths of its employees outside the ring.
That response has left Harley McNaught and his son’s other survivors furious.

‘I’ve been with him on two different WWE functions where she came up to him and knew him by name,’ McNaught said in an interview from his office in San Antonio, where Lance died, aged 29, on Aug. 13.

‘She disrespected him,’ McNaught said. ‘She disrespected my family.’

    I would expect the proprietor of World Wresting Entertainment to show a bit of class…

    Class? From Pro Wrestling? You’ve officially flabbergasted me…

    I’d expect class from AAU/USWF/Collegiate wrestling, but Pro is a circus sideshow, run by hucksters…if I wanted drama, I”d go back to the daily soaps–watching grown men and man-made women prance around in their swimsuits just doesn’t grab…

    justadood, I think you have just demonstrated the prevailing Theory of Internet Sarcasm Uncertainty.

    Tens of millions for a political campaign, 0 for health insurance for wrestlers

    WWE: the company that managed to make even Ric Flair annoying. I can’t watch more than a few minutes of their “sports entertainment” without getting violently ill.
