WWE sent out the following video as a press release to Glenn Beck’s recent comments about the current characters of Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter. In it, Colter & Swagger break “kayfabe” or character to rebuke Beck’s comments and welcome him to address the WWE audience this Monday on Raw.

Beck’s response? “Unfortunately, I am currently booked doing anything else.” Way to stand behind your comments, Beck.
Quick Quip: This was an intriguing and terrific way to counter Beck’s sophomoric comments about the Swagger/Colter characters while also putting many other critics in their place by explaining (once again!) that WWE produces television shows and therefore is ENTERTAINMENT! Just because the show is taped live in front of an audience doesn’t mean their characters should be taken any more seriously than the characters portrayed on Saturday Night Live. Non-wrestling media personalities and/or outlets would do well to refer to this video whenever they try to interpret a wrestling storyline too seriously.
