The real infuriating thing about the Piggy James thing was that they had done the same thing to Molly Holly years before.

Firing Test when he had a broken neck, and telling him he should've saved his money was awfully lovely.

I remember some people were happy that they did that to Bryan, since it prevented him from killing himself in some other promotion

Smoking Crow posted:I think it's even worse because before warrior came back, the WWE made that hit piece DVD about him and then made him into a martyr once he did Nah, that DVD could be considered a disgusting tactic. Guy refuses to come back and work with us? gently caress him, we'll spend time and money manufacturing a documentary that rips on him. It was one of the reasons Bret came back to due his DVD, despite the bad blood, because he knew Vince would do the same to him.

And I love how they try to explain HHH winning by saying that Booker T had told people he was going to win, so they had to switch the win to HHH. Also, Booker tells the story that when it came to the booking of the WM match, he wasn't allowed to sit in on the discussion, but HHH was. HHH of course, defended his sitting in by saying "But I didn't say anything while they were booking it."

I voted for Owen because of all the reasons everyone mentioned. Plus, with Punk, I can't help to think that if it had been another wrestler in his shoes, he would've told them to just tough it out.

They are completely free to say no. It's not like the contracts have stipulations in them preventing them from competing anywhere else. Oh wait, they totally do.

https://twitter.com/NY64Tournament/status/1074376307629273088 That little tidbit where Vince's argument is "He's not an employee; he just works for us." is why they love the independent contractor status so much. Can deny everything if they aren't "technically" with the company.

Chris James 2 posted:Yep. Basically established what everyone already knew, which was they're fine with punishing you (beyond just giving you time off) only if you don't really matter that much to them Yeah. There was that thing a year a two ago where Konnor of The Ascension was suspended because it was his second strike. Of course, between his first and second strike he had actually left the WWE and returned, but WWE said it still counted.

Hedgehog Pie posted:The worst thing about Katie Vick was Triple H's "And if you don't like this storyline you can kiss my rear end!!" promo, which was just another showcase of Vince McMahon's childishness. While I (somewhat regrettably) ended up liking Goldust during his 2002-2004 run, you simply can't deny that it was an intentionally offensive gimmick. That it was during a period where WWE was being marketed first and foremost to kids, as one poster above discussed, just makes it even worse. Dustin actually wanted to get breast implants at one point for the gimmick.

MassRafTer posted:I think that is Hogan telling stories but Billy Robinson completely hosed up Iron Sheik as a trainee for thinking he could out shoot him. Hogan told the story on the first day of his training, Matsuda broke his leg deliberately, and only agreed to train him once he came back. The Iron Sheik story was that during his training, he said as an former Olympic wrestler, that Robinson wouldn't be able to pin him. So Robinson agreed to the "match", and when Sheik got into the referee's position, Robinson immediately drove his knee into Sheik's thigh, loving him up. Jericho told the story of how on his first day, without any training, Keith Hart made him take a backdrop. Jericho landed on his feet instead of bumping, so Hart locked him in a stretch hold as "punishment" for showing off. Al Snow said training his training, he saw his trainer pop someone's eye out of its socket and stomp on it.

Cedric Alexander is the only one I can think of off hand. I always grimaced when WWE would sign a black wrestler and immediately saddle him with a more "ethnic" name. Bad News Allen becomes Bad News Brown Tony Norris became Ahmed Johnson Charles Wright at one point was Kama Mustafa Ron Simmons became Farooq Asad (who was a gladiator for some reason) Rycklon Ezekiel Stephens becomes Ezekiel Jackson Ettore Ewen becomes Big E Langston 2 Cold Scorpio becomes Flash Funk

Wazzu posted:Lance Storm said he was given a card that paid all his medical expenses. I think it's a thing where Vince takes care of you......But he could suddenly stop at any minute, especially if you do him wrong. I've mentioned it before, but when Test had to have neck surgery (I think it was the same kind Austin, Angle, Edge, and Lita had), while they paid for it ... they let him go afterwards, and only hired him back once he was cleared to wrestle. Test told a story about his release when he asked what was he supposed to do for a paycheck while recuperating, and the response was "You should've saved your money."

And then they said they had to change the Booker-HHH ending from Booker winning to HHH because Booker had apparently told some people he was winning? Even if he had, it wasn't as if he had gone on the news an announced "I've been booked by the owners to win this match! "
