CM punk got a bad draw in this bracket, he'd make top 8 starting in any other match

I just read a big long interview with him that I think got posted in one of the weekly threads a couple weeks back and, to be fair, he could just be towing (toeing?) the company line, but it sounded like he was the one that was being super bullheaded about everything and wwe actually took pretty good care of him, but maybe there’s something I haven’t read.

Like my understanding, perhaps naive, was that WWE were actually pretty good guys for once and Kidd’s injury doesn’t belong in this tournament.

Am I wrong?


E: here’s that article

(He should be dead)


E: skimming back over that article, they just kinda skip from the end of the match to “now I’m in the hospital” and it sounds like the contention itt is with respect to that chunk that gets skipped in the article?

Synthetic weed was a strike, regular weed wasn't. Synthetic is why Matt Sydal got 2 strikes before he was fired

Swagger as well, as I recall. Or some comedy jobber maybe?

Go back and watch some of those early Goldust matches, the entire crowd is chanting homophobic slurs. I know that the gay panic heel is almost as old as wrestling itself but doesn't make it any less heinous.
As weird as it sounds Katie Vick feels out matched in this tourney. It seems like a quaint anecdote someone brings up when they talk about how dumb wrestling is when compared to most of this poo poo.

Both of those are pretty small in the grand scale of this tournament but pretty equally lovely within this matchup. Went with contracts just because there’s been so much of it and it’s been so bad and they’ve done a lot of damage to the whole industry by being really good at it

This one was rough.

Steroids directly harmed a lot of people for the sake of their business

But Crown Jewel was like three weeks after Khashoggi and they didn't even try to justify it


Went with crown jewel but
ugh

This tournament is getting rough.

Owen

Reasoning: independent contractor status is bad and responsible for a lot of stuff in this tournament and is super hosed

And maybe you could talk about Owen dying being not unrelated


And then I thought about; and WWF knowingly, after being told what they were doing was dangerous and will probably get someone killed, by a professional, decided to do it anyway, and were well on their way to killing 3 instead of 1

There’s negligence, and then there’s the Owen poo poo

I genuinely can’t choose

They’re both so incredibly awful

:negative:

I think I’m leaning GRR because it’s more recent and they should BE BETTER by now? But it’s fuckin hard
