Sorry im a bit late to the party here but did we really get a straight up "explaining things is endorsing them" fight

Except that's not what happened and it's been sorted now. Nice contribution though, much needed.

The only good part of the Eugene character was Regal cutting a promo on HHH telling him that he'd kill him if he hurt Eugene

the eugene character still might be hateful but my disabled brother really loved him at the time

i always thought that the guy playing the character did it with way more nuance and sympathy than anyone would have expected, but the way the character was presented overall was still pretty bad

eugene definitely makes me less uncomfortable than I Am Sam

in summary eugene is a land of contrasts

Eugene was a character that in hindsight is offensive as gently caress, and overstayed his welcome, but definitely could have been much, much worse.

wwe was pretty terrible at that time and the eugene stuff was very different and he allowed william regal a bunch of screen time. it might have been tasteless but i kinda enjoyed it but i completely stopped following wwe shortly after that because the overall product was terrible and my favorite wwe wrestler doing a murder suicide kinda sucked.

I was at the match live and it was just a stiff looking match and not remotely dangerous. Plus Jody is a pro and was clearly fine afterwards. But corny gonna corn.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Yeah, this discourse seems pretty bad faith to me because it did not come across like this live at all. Maybe you had to be there but Athena clocked very early that Jody had a ton of hometown support and immediately started working heel. She was not shooting.

It was reported that Jody was also working as a tryout and is one of Rosa's trainees I believe, so if anything Athena was working to make her look good here. She held her hand up after the match for the crowd and hugged too.

Not to mention Athena actually works pretty stiff to begin with. Like she loves laying her poo poo in.

There were some gnarly bumps in that match. Jody going outside the ring was one, but she seemed fine, even tucked push her legs forward on the drop to make her landing more severe. Jody taking the dropkick(?) into railings was another, but Athena went to check on her and you couldn't wipe the smile off Jody's face so I think they both thought (and probably said to each other) something about iggys, offices and bangers.

The people popping their monocles over Athena working snug should probably pass out when they watch anything from, I dunno, Mid-South or Memphis from the 'horrific violence' there but alas the standard is double.

there is no argument. it's a harassment tactic designed to make you feel that there is discourse to be had and frustrate you. stop reading it altogether if that logic doesn't help and fully disarm the hosed up bastards from your perspective, or persist in the doomed world you have created.

Everything the others have said is true, but it is indeed an oddly irritating 'topic' even beyond what Corny and his mob normally barf onto Twitter. I get it.

For sure, I normally don't give a poo poo about what those guys say about a match they only saw clips of but that moment for Jody was genuinely one of the highlights of the show for me. That kind of thing is what I go to wrestling FOR and it sucks to see people trying to ruin it, even if it's a bunch of old, irrelevant heads.

Uglier on the inside.

If Jim Cornette was a racist or sexist, i think we'd probably have heard him say something racist or sexist

https://sports.yahoo.com/jim-cornette-resigns-from-nwa-following-racist-comment-on-broadcast-211759449.html

At some point he would have said something hosed up.

I just don't see it.

He doesn't have a history of anything like that, and I think you're all jumping to conclusions.
