savinhill posted:He wasn't try to address his substance problems at the time though and while both are scummy, actually pouring whiskey in a recovering alcoholic's mouth without their foreknowledge is worse IMO. If he wasn't he should have been as this was the middle of when he was getting divorced and having legal troubles.

Another is during Goldberg's heel turn, he had a match with Hacksaw and attacked the area where he had his cancerous kidney removed. One Man Gang's transformation into Akeem was pretty hosed up too.

The earliest offensive angles that I can remember are the Piper's Pits where he attacked Snuka with a coconut and the one where he was saying some racist stuff to Tony Atlas. savinhill fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Dec 1, 2010 |

Shiki Dan posted:Going by WWE/WWF only, Top 10 Most Offensive Angles in no particular order: - Piper's half black/half white bit - Beaver Cleavage and his 'mom' - Chaz, supposed domestic abuser - Saba Simba - Undertaker 'hanging' the Bossman - Triple H / Booker T feud - Al Wilson - The Snitsky/Lita angle Not WWF, but there was an angle in Kansas City, in Kemper Arena, that had, I think, Mike Awesome get thrown off the top of a cage on/very very close to the anniversary of Owen Hart's death. Probably not deliberate, just WCW being WCW. Also, Oklahoma.

BigRed0427 posted:I dont remember the feud bewteen Rhyno and Jarret ever invoved Rhyno being exposed to alcohol though. They just mentioned he was a recovering alcohoholic to build up face sympathy. I think they were referring to his feud with James Storm. Around late 2007 I believe, there was a tag match with Storm and Robert Roode vs. Rhino and Eric Young that Rhino and Young lost. Following it Storm poured beer on Rhino which made him go nuts. Then a few weeks later Rhino had an interview where he said he was a recovering alcoholic. He and Storm had a few more matches with Storm continuing to go over by hitting Rhino with a beer bottle. Then in the aftermath he'd always pour beer on him. Finally Rhino won their last match which ended the feud.

Writer Cath posted:I'll ask because I'm curious. I think you just have to accept general tastelesness like you do with a show like South Park and know you're probably going to be offended if they are dealing with an issue that's a hot button for you. It's not ideal, but this is the kind of realm such a form of entertainment is in.

A man interrupts a fake funeral and drives off with the casket. That is more offensive than making a alcoholic/drug addict play out their struggles and end up relapsing?

While not nearly as bad as the previous stuff listed the Piggie James angle was pretty offensive.

Edwardian posted:While not nearly as bad as the previous stuff listed the Piggie James angle was pretty offensive. Its better then when they did that storyline bewteen Trish Stratus and Molly Holly where Holly was the "fat" one and the heel. I honestly had no problem with the Piggy James thing, expecialy since it ended (Or at least was suppose to) the correct way.

What about scummy Indy angles? XPW had a masked serial killer who would turn up randomly and blade people (including announcers) with a box cutter knife and did promos about new jack with a real snake eating a chicken. CZW did this scummy angle about John Zandig with him being suspended from the ceiling with hooks through his skin!

WeaselWeaz posted:Eddie Guerrero's death used for a Rey Mysterio push and Chavo Guerrero heel turn. Far from the worst. It was the continual exploitation of him after he died. Big Show chokeslamming Rey on his low rider like a week after he died, Randy saying he was in hell, etc. Also the Booker/HHH feud was bad on paper, but after they decide WELL GOLDBERG IS HERE, WE BETTER KEEP THE TITLE ON HHH SO GOLDBERG CAN WIN IT IN SEPTEMBER launched it into the stratosphere of offensiveness

Also it's not really an angle, but on ECW once Shelton Benjamin was making a lot of racist statements about Tatsu, basically doing everything he could to get the crowd to boo him. He got cheered.

I remember the racist bit (which was terrible) but I honestly don't remember the crowd cheering. What I found offensive was heel Edge coming out to rip on heel Vickie for being fat and ugly because fat and ugly women aren't real people and don't have human emotions and the crowd cheering him on and it being the catalyst for a face turn for Edge.

In all fairness, I do genuinely hate fat people and consider them unworthy of kindness

Didn't the crowd immedetly start cheering Yoshi after he knocked Shelton out after one kick to the head? It may be my favroite debut of a wrestler ever. Arrive, have oppenent say racist poo poo about you, knock him the gently caress out, leave.

How much of those storylines came from Rey and the Guerreros? They all seem carny as gently caress, like pitching the idea for the feud over the custody of Dominick.
