8 Weirdest word bans by Vince McMahon

#2 ‘Interesting’

The word ‘interesting’ was even underlined on this piece of paper, which tells you how stupid this word ban is.

Interesting.

Intéressant.Interesante.

I could translate this word into any language, and it would still have the same meaning. The word ‘interesting’ has a positive meaning in every language; it’s a word you want to be used to describe something.

Whether you’re writing comedy, drama or something serious, you absolutely want someone to describe is as interesting, so that people are interested in what you’re showing them.

So why would Vince up and ban this word from being used?

For what reason would he forbid his commentators from describing their own product as, ‘interesting’? There is no logical reason to ban this word. In fact, this word ban screams of a decision that isn’t based on any common sense whatsoever.

If you were watching a show and wanted to sell it to potential new viewers, ‘interesting’, would probably be the first word you’d use to describe it to them. That way, you’re not showing any bias to one type of entertainment or another, while still using the proper word to convince them that this entertainment product is worth watching.

It’s really hard to top this word ban on a list of stupid word bans, but in true WWE fashion, Vince McMahon manages to find one more to prove just how much of a deranged micromanager he really is.
