Wait, were the players or the women getting drunk? That tweet is worded a little strangely. It reads like "get the players drunk so they could take advantage of the women" which seems like... backwards.

Yeah, if I read it literally it comes off as “Barnett would get the players drunk so that the women could then gently caress said players.” Something tells me that’s not how it is supposed to be read.

MysticalMachineGun posted:Wait, were the players or the women getting drunk? That tweet is worded a little strangely. Now, if it was used as blackmail material in the team's gambling scandal, which the book kind of sort of implies was a possibility, albeit with zero evidence, then that would be different.

MysticalMachineGun posted:Wait, were the players or the women getting drunk? That tweet is worded a little strangely. The women were used to get the players to come to the parties. The rich guys would then get the players drunk so they could have their way with them. It developed into more than that but that was the initial way they did it.

It kinda tracks because every Barnett story includes stuff that could read as straight out sexual harassment.

There was the story of him putting the NWA World Title on Tommy Rich in an attempt to get Rich to sleep with him.

Warrior will win easily because his shittiness is so well-documented at this point, but Terry Taylor was a piece of work himself

i did consider terry taylor solely because i don't know if he is as mentally unwell as warrior definitely was. like i genuinely don't know and while i don't feel sympathy for mashed up brain bigots i do place them just slightly below those who are still functioning fine. think there was too much on warrior's side to really make a case against picking him anyhow

They’re both horrible but the fact that WWE still markets and profits from Warrior’s image pushes him over for me.

Like this is a tough choice but I think Warrior pulls ahead for me slightly just cause of the fact he wished for the death of Bobby Hennan

Warrior died and sold his soul to WWE like a weakling and immediately died(which I consider kinda funny) so I’m giving the nod to Terry Taylor on this one.

Vince MechMahon posted:It seems like both Jake and Austin have at least attempted to change, and either will get knocked out next round. On that note, while Michaels/Jannetty was a while back, there's one major reason I didn't vote Michaels and it's because he seems to at least attempt to better himself. I can't say how much of his born again stuff is legit and how much is a shield from being criticized from his early behavior, but I remember hearing about how outside of his brief WHC run upon coming back to the ring, he was very adamant about not being world champion during his 2000's run. Apparently, being on top during a time when business was bad did a number on him mentally and that enhanced all of his lovely behavior. Being self-aware enough to turn down something so huge because you know it'll only bring out the worst in you and on you is something I can respect.

Warrior is more personally reprehensible but Taylor has held a position of power for 20+ years. Vote for Terry.

Warrior advances because the tournament is named after him. Because otherwise it's a push. mostly. Slight edge to Taylor. Maybe. They're both shitcocks.

I went with Warrior in the end because he didn't even try to hide his shittiness (he celebrated it), and because WWE still have the gall to celebrate him as part of a PR stunt. It was close though. Taylor strikes me as one of those incompetent assholes who knows just enough people to keep getting work, but is also anonymous enough to hide his crimes. Awful stuff.

He's basically a poor man's Michael Hayes, and at least Hayes was an actual draw at one point. What the hell has Terry ever accomplished to keep earning these cushy jobs?

I voted Taylor because I know Warrior is going to end and I don't want people to look at the results and go "oh maybe he wasn't so bad." He definitely was, it's just that Warrior is almost incomprehensibly terrible.

I’m pretty sure Terry Taylor knows where stuff is buried long enough he became just one of the usual shitheads.

Voted for Warrior for a lot of reasons but just realized that one NXT documentary showed that Terry Taylor knew Seth Rollins was always bad before any of us.

They're both terrible enough that it's kind of a wash, but I went Warrior because he went on speaking tours to evangelize being a racist, sexist piece of poo poo as a virtue for the world outside of wrestling to follow. I don't think there is a wrong answer here, though.

# ? Dec 6, 2019 06:27 |

I went with Warrior due to the sheer level of whitewashing that has gone into his image since his death. The way WWE constantly holds him in high regard is gross.

If there was an annual Terry Taylor Award that might have swung it for me, but the canonization of Warrior is what does it

Warrior had to spend his last days playing nice with people he hated for a paycheck and whoring himself out to Vince just to die face down in an Arizona parking lot the day after. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

I went with Warrior, but there seems to be a block in some people's minds against how incredibly lovely Taylor is because so many articles and lists and retrospectives over the last thirty years talked about poor Terry being so talented but saddled with a terrible gimmick so we should feel bad for him.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. It says a lot about WWE's Wellness Policy that they let this happen. The dude looked like he was ready to lie down and die the night he gave his farewell promo.
