I remember SVP disliking the Cowherd style approach (to manufacturing controversy in sports media). Now SVP finds himself near the top of the media conglomerate which does this as their business model.


Huh? SVP isn't manufacturing drama



I didn't say that he does. But the ESPN coverage is essentially exactly that. It is something like having a serious newsprint journalist (if those still exist) hosting a WWE event

I see what point you’re trying to make but it doesn’t really make sense when SVP has been an ESPN lifer for like 2 plus decades

He may have criticized that style of sports journalism (most of that energy came from RR who has turned like 60 percent of his content into talking about that topic) but he was always at ESPN doing it the way he thinks it should be done

It’s not like he was at fox and calling ESPN out for that and then moved to ESPN and started doing it. He found a way to succeed at his dream company without having to compromise on those values. Good for him.
