As awful as the Owen stuff is in terms of overall harm done to the world the Saudi propaganda has got to have it beat. The Harts are one family but the Saudis are responsible for the deaths of thousands upon thousands of people. Yeesh, WWE sucks.

Smoking Crow posted:Kane and Lita is way worse because the end game was Lita miscarrying and then leaving Kane for Edge, where Kane became the babyface fighting against the cheating bitch Lita To be fair this only happened because the Matt/Lita/Edge stuff came to light and was getting huge fan response so they had no choice but to go with it. I voted Linda myself because it was such an awful way to treat disabled people. Although I wasn't paying too much attention in '04 so I don't know the full details of the Kane/Lita storyline.

Baron Corbin posted: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.

I voted Akeem because when I did my Golden Era thread this last year I got through the whole thing without picking up on the slave connotations of Virgil's relationship with DiBiase whereas the awfulness of Akeem is front and centre.

I don't know enough about Kidd's injury to fully judge this but I went with the Pre-Wellness Policy as that effected a whole lot of wrestlers and is directly responsible for the early deaths of the likes of Eddie, Crash and Test.

Charles Gnarwin posted:I voted Trump in this round, but your argument might be enough to make it a dark horse candidate for the whole tournament. No other option has such a far reaching effect, though Trump likely would have won without the millions and millions of WWE dollars. An outsider candidate routinely mocked by the voters until it makes a late surge in popularity while his true horribleness comes to light? Dangit, you've done it again, Trump!

I voted for contract tampering and immediately regretted it. Doing lovely business poo poo to other business who are mostly also doing lovely business poo poo isn't as bad as trying to get someone fired from their livelihood.

I ended up going for Brawl For All because while OTE continuing really sucks I can understand it from the industry mentality that the show must go on. We've seen it many times that people get injured and they keep carrying on because the fans and the viewers are there. Especially he hadn't been called dead by the medical professionals straight away I can get them trying to keep things going and then being swept along in that mindset for the rest of the show.

To me these are both emblematic of the same issues rotting at the core of American society. Both have caused torment and abuse through racism and misogyny but Trump has effected so much on a grander scale that it had to be my vote. DeMott was harming trainees, Trump's been harming everyone.

Dead wrestlers is worse than rehiring Hulk Hogan because so far they've not gone full out in pushing Hulk into the product again. While this is subject to change at the moment it's not too awful. Giving a racist a paycheck is quite low on the list of scummy entries in this tournament.

So WWE doesn't pay travel costs to its wrestlers but what about all the other guys who are travelling around week after week. Production crew, referees, ring agents... Does anyone know what the deal is with them?

Alaois posted:wow, literally a 50/50 vote with 104 votes right now Still 50/50 with 247 votes!  The Vickie stuff is worse to me. Homophobia was common in the 90s and while that doesn't excuse the Goldust gimmick it's just emblematic of wider social issues and it didn't last that long. Being LGBT myself I can't get that mad at WWE for it because that message was coming from so many places when I was young. The Vickie stuff was a sustained series of attacks on a woman widowed by your own company's drug culture which she apparently was paid a pittance for.

The treatment of Kanyon could practically be rolled into the developmental abuse as they're both about the same main issue, callous abuse of talent. The Kanyon one is just on an individual level whereas the developmental one is the systemic level.

mkay0 posted:Re-hiring a pedophile is obviously atrocious. Vince basically pulled a Joe Paterno and no one knows. This is what swung it for me. There's lots of awful poo poo in this tournament but I knew about it all except for this. The fact that they did something so awful and managed to keep it so quiet even somewhere like PSP never talked about it edges it for me.
