Be a Star, Vince.

WWE is heavily running ads for their Be A Star, anti-bullying campaign. Even their latest WWE Studios release, That's What I Am is about tolerance.

As a guy who was bullied in his younger days, I am behind it 100% I am totally against bullying and it's not fair that so many kids are terrified to go to school because of it. It needs to stop.

Obviously with the many characters and story lines in WWE, there of course will be the bullies doing their thing, such as the Bella Twins calling Kharma fat and saying a bunch of asshole-ish things.



Two things I want to touch on about this video. The first is at the end where Jerry Lawler was disgusted by what they said to Kharma. Good on Jerry, he's a babyface and should not tolerate that kind of stuff, right?





Now riddle me this. How good is it for two guys who kids watch every week and are fans of and cheer for to make fat jokes like that? Doesn't that go against the whole anti-bullying thing?

Going back to the first video. In Kharma's speech, she mentioned that Jim Ross said she wouldn't be a diva because she is too fat.

JR cleared this up and Kharma has stood up for him via twitter, since there was a lot of hateful tweets sent to Mr. Ross about "calling her fat"

That line was obviously fed to her and one of the bullet points she had to hit. Why? So Jim Ross would deal with all the negative comments that he got.

It's no secret that Vince McMahon gets his jollies from publicly mocking and humiliating Jim Ross.
Just go back through the past few months and look at any segment JR was involved in.

Good on WWE for promoting anti-bullying. I hope it make's positive changes all over the place.
It's just ironic that the biggest bully is the man who calls all the shots.


Lead by example Vince and Be A Star
