TV Zombie posted:Does Val Venis seducing and bedding Yamaguchi San's wife which led to the choppy choppy your pee pee angle get an entry in the NIT? Choppy Choppy Your Pee Pee was on the bubble and I tried to fit it in a few times so it'd be a pretty high seed in the NIT I'd think, but watch the flood gates open and it'd end up as a 15 seed.

SatoshiMiwa posted:Just the overall treatment of Kaientai should be it's own entry for the NIT Yeah, with this you can talk about choppy choppy but also Jerry Lawler laughing and being racist about Taka breaking his arm and the whole dubbing bullshit.

Voted for not paying road costs for basically the reason you said in one of the tweets, firing Dawn Marie is incredibly morally reprehensible but the road costs thing has been going for decades and has "saved" the company untold money over that time that they then do not put back toward the wrestlers, it all goes in the pocket

APA accidentally ending up at a gay bar and starting a bar fight was pretty offensive as well, considering WWE's portrayal of gay men was literally "full bearded dude in a wig wearing a dress and jeans". But considering it's not even remotely in the realm of the most offensive things done to gay people by WWE, I can see why it wouldn't be well remembered. Chris James 2 posted:Was a tough choice for me between Reid and Bearer. Bearer's was more upsetting when it immediately happened

I was thinking the Jake Robert's alcoholism angle they did in the mid 90's would be a low rank NIT entry but when I thought more about it I was like they had somebody recovering from alcoholism and put him in an angle about drinking. Even if Jake was an rear end in a top hat at the time that still is super horrible especially since they knew his problems from the first run. And I was like that could easily be on the list of 64.

I also voted for the Road Costs one for the same reason, it's just too much of a systemic and constant problem.

The road costs thing is going to be extra lovely cause the WWE is going to be making obscene TV money and not gonna use it to pay for road costs even though paying for them would only be a minor dent in the profits they'll make over the next 3 years

I had nearly forgotten about the treatment of Chris Kanyon and then I remember that segment on Smackdown where he comes out of a crate dressed like Boy George and the Undertaker just wails on him then it ends with a really nasty unprotectected chairshot. It's pretty loving hard to watch and doesn't paint Undertaker in a good light.

Went Gulf War but the Snuka stuff is pretty bad if you also include the rumors that Vince himself helped with the cover up (no hard evidence but knowing Vince...)

Fuji and Muraco were present when police arrived and likely helped Snuka get off. I have no idea if Vince was involved directly but it's unlikely he gave the police a briefcase of money as that event was weeks later. But that's not how the rich and famous would influence a case like this in a small town anyway.

TV Zombie posted:Do the wrestlers get health insurance? Not sure what the current situation is, but Lance Storm recently spoke about how when he came over to WWE post the WCW-Buyout, he was given a card and whenever he needed to get medical treatment in America he'd just hand it over and he'd never get any kind of bill. He didn't know the details of whatever plan or coverage he had, all he knew was,"I show them the card, they treat me, I don't get charged."

Choosing between exploiting a real war and honoring Jimmy Snuka is harder than I thought. My gut reaction says Snuka because audiences at the time seemed to reject the Sgt. Slaughter Iraqi sympathizer angle where as I know people that still revere Snuka to this day.

Went with Snuka in a close one. Exploiting the war feels like a lower seed all things considered. Even if it makes 'Tribute for the Troops' after that feel utterly hypocritical.
