It can be both. You can want to help and also recognize it helps your company's perception in the world. The WWE does all types of stuff with the Special Olympics. Sure it helps their brand, but someone high up in the company also cares about the cause. If they didn't care they would not do it.

The Make a Wish stuff too. I doubt there is another company in the world who is a bigger participant in Make a Wish than the WWE. Do they get good press out of it? Sure they do, but you don't participate in anything to the degree the WWE does Make A Wish without caring about it.

John Cena has met probably 500 kids through the program. Do you think he would do it that many times if he didn't care?

There's a difference between Cena caring and some stuffed shirt at the office caring. It's possible to both know that what they are doing is good, but still call them out on being total loving scumbags when it comes to their motivations.

Especially when the tweet in question spells out that motivation.

It can be, but it's pretty lovely that Corporate America is using charity as a smokescreen to deflect attention and buy public forgiveness for the lovely things they do. Maybe it doesn't hurt to think about that before handing out the attaboys to the billion dollar companies tossing out relative pennies.

Yes? I'm just contributing my opinion to the topic of why Stephanie tweeting that should be frowned upon and why "But she gives to charity, who cares about her motives," isn't a good defense.

Vince did also donate to RAINN when Foley was doing some fundraising for them. I forget who said it but he does quite a bit of charity work that isn't publicized because people would assume he's doing it for some ulterior motive.

Which is what Stephanie doesn't get, it seems.

There's the famous Foley story where he saw someone on the Raw roster who was absolutely not a draw, or even apart of the company, and asking Terry Funk what was up, and Terry just went "Mick, sometimes Vince likes to do something nice for no reason."

It's easy to forget among the piles upon piles of being a huge scumbag and having completely lost touch that yes, while small, there is some decency within him. Not that he'd ever admit it, he'd push you in the pool for suggesting it.

The true story of Vince McMahon and everything that goes on in his hosed up head would sell millions of copies. It would be studied by Psychologists in an attempt to discover what the gently caress was ticking in that mans mind. All the lies and justifications and everything.

Don't use that word, use "Roddy". Freaky Roddy Strength.

It also looks like Hacksaw still has a giant crush on Piper.

Did Rikishi really not say anything about Too Cool? He would have just been a fat Yokozuna knockoff if not for Too Cool. Those guys were so loving over.

I would have thought they would have done the dance on the stage and everything. I wonder what happened between those three?

He not only didn't say word one about too cool, he ended his speech by doing the dance with the usos. One of the usos did the worm.
