Why did they have to point out that Kyle was disabled? The label just seemed unnecessary for this article.

That $16 prize isn't funny, it's just mean.

Don't be surprised if Vince McMahon asks for someone's opinion and says "congratulations you gave me your two cents now i'm giving you mine. Congratulations Joe Blow of Boise Idaho you won 2 cents!!!"

It's now widely known that the callers have been contacted ahead of time notifying them they are a finalist. That's why they always know the password and always are the ones answering the phone. The contest is legit but if they haven't contacted you prior to the show, you aren't going to be called during it.

I'd take $16 from Vince at this point. Anyone know where my career is??? It seems to have been misplaced.

the best part was JR saying in hush tones the password is...
I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. Vince could give me 16 dollars right now and I would say thank you sir. Times is tough son!

How the hell is a 15yo even eligble to win? I've never heard of such a thing. Don't you have to be 18 or 21 for legal purposes. Damn kid.
