The Melanie Pillman interview is hands down the worst thing in the entire tournament, for me.
I wouldn't necessarily call it the most immoral or unethical (though I might), but this is the "Most Disgusting" tournament and I find it uniquely revolting.

Easily the grossest thing from a purely ‘creative direction of the tv show’ paradigm.

I think letting Owen die due to negligence and taking Saudi money are much worse.

Talent lost the PPV money they were contractually obligated and management wouldn't even tell them, then when confronted they claimed there would be meetings that never happened.

That's a LOT of money.

The racial slurs are really bad and HHH's racism according to Alberto makes other people there think racist jokes are OK but it is just a part of the overall company racism. There's a lot of racism entries!

I'm personally voting for racism.

I went with loving over the talent financially yet again this time but building a corporate culture where casual racism is seen as acceptable also really really lovely.

There are no winners and we all get to feel lovely for ever giving money to the WWE.

Especially here since the first time I ever gave them money outside of buying some DVDs from the store was the Network.

I thought about it a lot and went with racism because I'm not sure any of the televised racist entries will make it deep in the bracket, but a corporate culture of racism is a lot fuckin worse. The fact that Michael Hayes still has a job (boo hoo you got a demotion) is insane.

Jesus what a tough matchup.

Similar to that, there was also a miscarriage angle with Terri where the twist was that she was never actually pregnant. Russo sure loved his "lying woman" angles.

wife beater and beaver cleavage were the same gimmick, beaver cleavage was a "worked shoot" bad gimmick that turned into Chaz the wife beater (except the wife is lying because she's a hoowa)

He started out with a faux incest gimmick called Beaver Cleavage where they made a lot of jokes about his "mom" 's body. Then they had him bail on the gimmick on air and he became Chaz a guy from Jersey and it was revealed his "mom" was his girlfriend. I don't remember who played her role, but I think they started a angle where he kept losing and it was basically stated he was blaming her and taking it out on her physically. Then she got caught admitting the truth on GTV, I think.

I'm missing stuff, I'm sure.

I think they went the same way with Chuck Palumbo, Motorcycle Enthusiast in the mid 2000's.
He feuded with Jamie Noble. Chuck was cool and strong and had a hot gf, Noble was the creepy twerp.
But then Chuck became more verbally abusive and Noble became more sympathetic.

I would have liked to think at least the television would be better, but Baron Corbin is his idea so...
Also, I really do not give a poo poo about that right now.
Thanks WWE, stuck with you my whole life. Some of these things I didn't know, some of them I had to shelve because no ethical consumerism, separate the art from the artist blah blah blah but I'm struggling to think of one good thing your company does that isn't a bald-faced publicity stunt.

You'd THINK you would have stumbled upon SOMETHING by accident.

Can't even enjoy this anymore. On any level.

There was also the Raw where they made it look like Stephanie was going to get gang-raped by DX in order to distract Test, and the next week it wasn’t even stated “oh we didn’t actually do anything”, they literally said it was just some girl. Like, basically stating “we gang-raped a woman but she’s not a named character so don’t think about it”
