He has criticized the lifestyles portrayed by its parent company Titan Sports, both in their storylines and the performers' personal lives.
In 1997 he implied that Titan chairman Vince McMahon's perpetration of steroid use for his performers led to wrestler Brian Pillman's early demise.
McMahon responded (on an episode of WWF Monday Night Raw) that Mushnick was a "self-righteous, egotistical, miserable son of a bitch.
Although the majority of the performers (including Miss Elizabeth and Davey Boy Smith) died after retiring from the WWF, Mushnick attributed their early deaths to their lifestyle while employed by Vince McMahon.

[26] In the piece, Mushnick blasted him for being "selfish" after he went into a home run trot on a ball that would end up hitting the wall.
He has referred to Sterling as "a narcissistic, condescending blowhard who neither knows nor cares what's happening on the field"[28][29] and regularly accuses him of self-promotion.
[30] Mushnick has also taken aim at Chris Berman of ESPN over the years, viewing his "clown act" as forced, self-serving, and stale.
