Dot Net Exclusive notes: Internal feeling regarding Vince McMahon's giveaway segments, why Charlie Haas was involved

-Vince McMahon wasn't pleased with his own performance in the million dollar giveaway segments and neither was anyone else in the company. "In some ways it highlighted the problems of the company," said a source who felt that Vince showed how out of touch he is. "I felt bad for him. It was depressing."
-The idea of featuring Charlie Haas as a special guest was pitched by the creative staff as a rib. Vince has stated to creative team members in the past that he'd rather watch paint dry than watch Haas, so the idea of the two of them appearing on camera together was meant to be a joke. Vince apparently got a kick out of the rib, as he approved of appearing together with him on camera.
Powell's POV: Monday was far from Vince's finest hour as a performer. He looked old, couldn't dial a phone, and didn't seem prepared to host the giveaway segments. As for the Haas rib playing out on television, one source compared it to the vindictive booking that took place in another company. "This is really scary and it's getting like WCW."
