WWE Says Glenn Beck Is Afraid, Michael Cole Tries To Get Interview With Beck (Video)

- WWE issued the following during RAW tonight:

GLENN BECK HIDES FROM WWE

STAMFORD, Conn., February 25, 2013 ? Glenn Beck declined WWE's invitation to address our fans live on Raw tonight and then hid from WWE reporters when approached this evening at his studios in Dallas. WWE attempted to get comment from Beck but was unable to gain building access after Beck's representatives said he was "not in the building," which clearly couldn't be the case just prior to his show airing live from the same studio.

Beck referenced WWE as "stupid wrestling people" in a segment that aired on TheBlaze TV last week, criticizing a recent WWE storyline involving WWE characters World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio, Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter.

Similar to other television shows and feature films, WWE is in the entertainment business, creating fictional characters that serve as protagonists or antagonists. To create compelling and relevant content for our audience, it is important to incorporate current events into our storylines.

WWE is creating a rivalry centered on a topical subject that has varying points of view. This storyline was developed to build the Mexican American character Del Rio into a hero given WWE's large Latino base, which represents 20 percent of our audience.
