From the "You knew THIS was coming" department: The New York Post's Phil Muschnick took aim at the Vince McMahon allegations and WWE in general while knocking Peter Rosenberg for a number of things, including his connection to WWE.
On Rosenberg's WWE connection, Muschnick wrote:
"He’s a payroll employee of the sleaziest, drug-infested and often deadliest “family” entertainment in TV history, Vince McMahon and wife Linda McMahon’s WWE. Rosenberg is now regularly seen and heard as a shill in a pro wrestling series, produced by the WWE for A&E.
Currently, Rosenberg has not found the time to address an exposé by The Wall Street Journal that accused Vince McMahon of paying more than $12 million to suppress allegations of his sexual misconduct toward four female employees.
Same silence on two accused pedophiles in McMahon’s employ and on his watch. They’re both deceased, but Rosenberg know who they were, as does everyone within the WWE.
But at 42, such is Rosenberg’s sense of broadcast professionalism. And on the air, he likes to take shots at others. And he’s very, very sensitive to criticism."Muschnick has been an outspoken critic of WWE for decades.
