   I think we can all agree that pro wrestling journalist of the year is Nick Hausman. #ProWrestling #wrestling

     Great to witness Brandon Thurston and Jon Alba join Hausman in fearless journalism at WWE's post-Royal Rumble press scrum last night, too. But it has to be said, Levesque's answers to their questions on the Vince McMahon allegations were poor, and there were so many follow-ups even more softball questioners could have chosen: "This lawsuit implicates your company, so do you not have a professional obligation to familiarise yourself with it?" or "Do you think Vince will ever be back in WWE?" etc.

     A good question would've been: "Is there not a conflict of interest in your handling of this scandal given you are Vince's son-in-law?" Of course, Levesque still could have provided the basic PR answer: "I must try to carry out my duties to the best of my ability and the board of directors will be the judges of that." But at least ask it. This is a huge scandal, and the fact Levesque can use his privilege to "prefer to focus on positives" is utterly inappropriate at this time.
