I forgot about the 2011 Punk/GLAAD thing but it was some amazing bullshit.

quote:

A rep for the WWE tells TMZ, "WWE does not condone this type of language or bias and we reinforce that with our talent who are independent contractors."

WWE officials also told GLAAD this morning that CM Punk's contract will expire in a few weeks, he will not be immediately renewed, and he will no longer be with WWE as of July 18. A spokesperson told us "this departure is not part of a storyline. He is contractually leaving the organization."

It's astonishing that professional organizations work with this company.

Snitsky punting the baby was funny.

All the documents are sealed but Martha wrote that WWF shopped around for a rigging guy who was willing to do the quick release stunt. This poo poo went well beyond a regrettable accident.

Weren't a couple of Randy's busts for weed? Not to support WWE moving the goalposts, but I'd rather athletes smoke weed to dull pain than abuse opiates

Weed is a fine not a strike. Orton did have a few uprofessional conduct suspensions that weren't wellness strikes.

My favorite of the Orton bullshit was that he already pissed hot from Signature Pharmacy drugs in 2006 so he was not suspended again for continuing to buy through early 2007.

WWE tampering generally means a worker agreeing to a pay raise. It's the least offensive of the contract entries in the tournament.

The first time I read a summary of this I thought it was a joke or one of those insane writers room pitches that never saw the light of day. It's awful.

It's ~34 years of stolen wages from a roster of ~100. The total is more the settlement over Owen and therefore morally worse. :spergin:

With Goldberg, Warrior and Sting, it's interesting how the WWE 2K pre-order DLC spot ends up shaping WWE at times.

2K works under the theory of "Who can we add that's fresh and interesting?" where Vince etc. think Sting is a nobody and Goldberg was a waste of money.

Owen should win obviously but pre-Benoit Wellness was incredibly lovely behavior. Eddy dropping dead wasn't the wakeup call and certainly not the dozens who died off the roster. It took a mother and child getting murdered for them to even slightly clean up their problem.

Randy Orton: deserted the military, sexual harrassment of writers, making GBS threads in bags

Orton was a maniac for years but there are multiple people from that locker room who say it was only a bottle of self-tanner. Orton will never be in the S.H.I.T.H.O.U.S.E.
