I can already tell that side of the bracket is going to come down to either Benoit/Moolah or Vince/Moolah to decide who makes the finals, and I'm glad we've got at least a month before that happens because maybe by then I'll know who to vote for in that situation

Yeah, I feel like we have not seen Enzo's best work yet when it comes to qualifying. But right now his biggest crime is banging really young fans and doing come with them. Weird and hosed up but child's play on this list.

GAMERDOME put down LOSER
It's a very Enzo thing to not even be very good at being an rear end in a top hat. He was a small enough one that Vince washed his hands of him at the first opportunity, while Moolah was a big enough one to almost get her own Wrestlemania event.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

An Enzo interview with Chris VV came up on my Youtube playlist a week or two ago and I was like "I hate Enzo but I like Chris so I'll give it a listen" and I listened to Enzo pontificate about how awesome he was for what felt like 20 minutes with Chris barely able to get a word in and then I looked to see how much time was left and the video was an hour?!?! Who the gently caress is listening to hour long Enzo softball interviews?

But yeah, being a general scumbag and tool is little league on this list.

I looked at the quotes - I can not stand that man's voice in the least - and was a bit annoyed he did bag on WWE for firing Big Cass when, in his opinion, they knew he was having serious issues. And by annoyed it's like gently caress, Enzo managed to sound good for a moment.

Still a creepy fucker but hey, he can make me hate WWE just a little more.

Vader is maybe the person who should least be in the bracket, because his issues are basically “Worked way too stiff” and “liked to pick fights” which extend to like 80% of famous wrestlers from his era.

I don't want to minimize Vader because he didn't really work stiff, he used the ring as an excuse to hurt people. But, comparatively he really doesn't deserve to get out of the first round.

STAC Goat posted:

I dunno. I feel like that's my problem with the Austin thing. It feels like people equate the substance abuse and the domestic abuse and I don't like that. He's worked on the substance abuse and I'm happy for him (and those around him) but like... he still beat (at least) 2 women. And I'd feel a lot better if he just said something like "I was a horrible person who hurt people and I'll try to even those scales the rest of my life by donating to safe houses or crisis lines" or something. I don't know. I just feel like I've seen a lot of "I had problems" and no "I was a woman beating piece of poo poo."
For me, personally, it's like this: There *are* people who are exclusively abusive pieces of poo poo off the wagon in a way that's intertwined with their addictions. I have reservations about how much he's leaning on the NDA side of the Debra divorce, of course, but a pill problem and getting clean being key is not actually unrealistic at all.

There’s also a lot of “beat the poo poo out of jobbers” guys not on the list. Scott Steiner, Road Warrior Hawk, etc.

Wasn't Vader kind of like, weaponized? Like in a "want some time off? Get a match booked with Vader" sort of sense. I wanna say it was Foley that talked about using him for that sort of thing.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
a lot of the first round has been "guy I thought was cool but was actually kind of an rear end in a top hat" vs "guy I've never heard of who did something incomprehensibly vile"

it's good seeding but weird to process through

whenever Vader did a powerbomb or a suplex it looked like he put all of his strength into lifting them up and then was like "phyew" and just completely let them go at the height of it. it's scary. learning that that's pretty much exactly what was happening is dully sickening and it's going to taint some pretty fond memories I have of the guy

but then I read about Barnett for 5 minutes and voted for Barnett

There are some parallels to the Penn State scandal as supposedly the Kentucky coaches knew what was going on and looked the other way.

On a related note, I'm going to guess that Dick "Actually in the KKK" Murdoch wasn't in the WWF long enough to qualify?
