Per @WrestlingInc:
"A fan asked McMahon, "What do u say to those fans who say @WWE is going against their own Anti-Bullying campaign w/ showing HHH & Ryback bullying?" In response, she said the bullying that occurs on WWE programming should be strictly viewed as entertainment. "No diff than bullying in a movie," wrote McMahon. "WWE is Entertainment @beaSTARalliance is real."
They left off JBL's berating of Josh Matthews.
That is utter nonsense and (bad) PR spin. How does she know that the kids can differentiate it? You cannot profess one thing, then show something else. Kids mimic what they see on TV, right or wrong. It's not the respective medium's fault, but if it's not there, there is nothing to mimic. Kids play cops and robbers because they see it on TV and movie. They also try to perform wrestling moves and sometimes people get hurt. Again, it's not the wrestling company's responsibility to be a parent, but it IS the company's responsibility not to be hypocritical.
