Vince not #1 promoter? Dana White proclaims him #2!!

[Vince Mcmahon]

UFC's Dana White was recently asked about the best promoters and he put Vince McMahon at number two, behind P.T. Barnum. You can check out the full article at http://www.theprovince.com/president...238/story.html

PT Barnum made people go ape-shit about elephants. It's not a horrible ranking there

Hey that's pretty big praise for Vince, putting him second only to one of the greatest showmen in history.

[bret hart mark]

Dana is jealous of vinces ppv numbers

[Crippler]

I don't see how, since Dana is currently thrashing him. And I fucking love the Ringling Bros.

[RT]

Um, good?

I would put Don King ahead of Vince too. Hell, you could argue that Heyman is better than Vince, given what he turned ECW into with how little he had to start off with.

[Falcone]

If Dana was trying to insult Vince, he failed.

I remember Michael Jackson wanted to be PT Barnum with being greatest showman in history.

Heyman is considered better creatively (by some) than Vince, but as a promoter? No chance in hell (pun intended).

You can not argue that Heyman was better thean Vince...Without losing the argument

[The Main Event]

I don't even think Dana was trying to trash Vince. Dana has always seemed to have a lot of respect for Vince and his accomplishments as a businessman.

And the award for thread title misdirection goes to...

[MachoWarrior]

If you can still get sell-out crowds to see poodles on tricycles after 150 years, then you deserve that number one spot.

I think they are on pretty good terms.

[The Industry]

Yeah, Dana loves Vince.

[merle]

This. I love Heyman and think that he was a great creative guy but Vince is a better all around promoter. Anyway, how can anyone read White's remarks about Vince being second to Barnum as an insult? It's probably one of the greatest compliments anyone has ever given Vince. PT Barnum was an unbelievable promoter. I mean, White is stipulating here that Vince is a better promoter than White is. It was actually a pretty respectful (and accurate) comment.

Dana White is just upset that UFC isnt the flavor of the month anymore...And hes probably also upset that his company owed alot of its success to Brock Lesnar, a WWE wrestler.

Yeah, true. Sorry, I was thinking they were one and the same. My bad.

[Ice]

I had to look up PT Barnum.

I'm not sure what dude is getting at.

This!!!!

[rzombie1988]

Dana's probably number one right now to be honest.

[Steeda90GT]

Seems like Dana was complimenting Vince. To be honest, #2 right behind Barnum is a real great accomplishment.

[Djm]

For those that have not caught or will read this thread and not catch on.

Dana was saying Vince is the second best promoter ever to PT Barnum. It's about as high of a compliment a promoter can receive.

Dana <3 Vince.

[Heartbreak Kid]

Dana is actually being modest for once because Dana has been owning Vince for years now.

Actually THIS!
