I think I have to go with Piggy James personally. The HBK thing is dumb. Mocking fans that want to give them more money is just their own idiocy. The Owen stuff almost took it.

Body shaming a woman in great shape like that I could only imagine having a horrible effect on people that already have body image issues. A lot of kids watch this dumb circus show and even if it's the bad guys doing it, it can leave an impression.

Mickie has admitted she was difficult to deal with at the time and she was drinking heavily at the time hence the weight gain. Was overtly messing around with Cena and management didn't like too.

In summary, WWE was clearly in the right.

I know it gets said over and over again. But WWE handling work issues by maliciously making GBS threads on and humiliating their talent in front of millions over and over again is some real bullshit. Suspension? Mandated counseling? No. We're gonna call you fat on national television and have the mean girls eventually kick your rear end, should fix you right up.

What about that time when Vince was going to be forced to face the Undertaker in a Buried Alive match and he went on this loving insane promo where he ordered Paul Heyman to 1) have the Undertaker's children kidnapped, 2) have terrorists blow up the Undertaker's house and 3) have a biker gang rape the Undertaker's wife while Undertaker is forced to watch.

Ok so where can I watch this?

I take solace in the idea that Lemmy probably thought HHH was a lame nerd that paid him to make lovely songs.

If the Screwjob never happened Owen might still be alive because they wouldn't have needed to feel like humiliating him to get back at Bret

This is what I was debating with myself. The Hart family basically fell apart after Montreal. Though I think if it wasn't that it would have been something else.

Charlotte being ok with and pushing for the angle doesn't forgive anything but it does solidify for me that she's carny scum.

But good lord how can you not vote for the Pillman angle? (I'm not judging you if you didn't)

And then you have Ronda Rousey out there carrying water for WWE going to KSA, further cementing her as terrible.

last i checked, having sex involves two people. if those boys "didn't want" to have sex with that old man, then they would have refused. i recently found out that it's illegal to force someone to have sex with you against their will, so those boys would have declined and possibly reported it to the police if they felt uncomfortable.

Wasn't Virgil also in an angle (not in WWF) where he got beat up by people wearing literal Klan robes?

Yes and the one of the guys in the Klan robes was Jim Neidhart.

Jesus Christ what was the original plan?

It's mentioned further up the thread but a little person was going to be hanging from Owen dressed as the Blue Blazer.

Edit: To make my post slightly less irrelevant I think it would have been the same one DX beat up as mini Bret Hart.

Somehow it always managed to escape me until this thread that they WANTED him to fall and that's why it happened. Like I guess I always assumed he was just doing the basic Sting stunt but I only just in this thread read and realized that the plan was for him to intentionally screw it up and fall for comedy and that's why he had the "quick release" thing.

Isn't it cool how much risk they added to an already risky stunt for a cheap laugh?

i've run a simulation on my computer, and 89% of the time, the dwarf dies but breaks Owen Hart's fall and he survives, 10% of the time they both die, and 1% of the time, they clip through the ring and continue plummeting until they reach the center of the earth

So that's where the York Foundation computer went.

And if my understanding is correct Carlos Colon was pretty involved in covering it up.

I'll never forget being at his hall of fame induction and one voice in the crowd cutting through the silence to scream, "You killed Bruiser Brody!" Like, no one could pretend they didn't hear it.
