| first off, i think that whole heart to heart thing was not about showing his soul to the guys so much as it was a marketing scheme. he wanted to announce to the world that he was going to retire soon so you guy better watch him while you can. personally i would not be surprised if he stuck around a lot long than he is claiming he will.
second the bible thing i think was totally lame. and the whole essay thing that they guy were suppose to write about which character hughs is was stupid and egotistical. if that were really about teaching the guys life skills outside the ring then why not prepare a selection of readings, some from the bible some from other sources, and there are a lot of better resources out there than the bible to help prepare someone for the world, especially the modern one. i thought the whole thing was a little stange like he was trying to "spread the word of god".
but let's give him the benefit of the doubt, because afterall religion does do some good in the world too and he might have really been positively impacted and wanted to share that with the guys, which is fine.... (i cannot find a way to excuse the essay thing)..... but then give them the material and encourage them to do that in their free time. you do not cancelle training for a bible study! those guys went to great lengths to get on that show and are given an excellent opprotunity. they want to make the most out of it as they can. train the guys that is why they are there!! and then to punish them when they loose???? if his team keeps loosing then it is a reflection of the leadership and training. |
