At least Snuka didn't do speaking events about how murder is good

The Booker thing was like two, three months, whereas the Vickie stuff lasted years. It was like a sous vide of awful comedy and misogyny.

I voted Unleash Your Warrior since the Komen stuff is underrepresented compared to the many entries about exploiting wrestler deaths

Ideally this tournament would have been divided into The Labor Region, The Misogyny Region, The Racism Region, and the Death Region, so dead heats like this would be saved for the final four instead of the elite eight

Does Low Ki/Kaval fit the one year criteria, because while taking liberties in the ring is less vile when compared to your Warriors and Mel Phillipses, it merits inclusion

IMO, Asuka is less her and more Japan's cultural obsession with Nazis, rear end backwards as it may be.

I guess what I'm getting at is does the context of Japan's Blaise attitude to Nazi imagery factor in and weigh this down?

If we're insistent on this then you need to add Zahra Schreiber and everyone other racist that ever worked for the company and that's a long loving list.

I assume he was talking more about Asuka's reputation for being stiff given I had asked about Low Ki

stan hansen and vader were overly stiff as well, those pieces of poo poo. make sure they're in it

Stan Hansen is an interesting case because he was basically working blind for a good portion of his career, whereas people like Vader and Low Ki could see perfectly well what they were doing.

Et: I don't mean this as saying "he's better because he couldn't see", it's more that that clear intentionality from a Low Ki is replaced by a sheer recklessness on Hansen's part that depending on your viewpoint may be worse.

I feel like Cowboy Bob should count for bleeding on people while he knew he had hepatitis but I'm not sure if he meets the year criteria.

I think being stiff while not cool is not scummy if both wrestlers are on it. Hansen only really went hard with guys that were okay with it whereas Vader and Bob Holly did it to prove points

Even than I think even stiffing an unwilling wrestler is probably not enough to get on the list you have to have something more.

I agree. Low Ki, who's had a sustained pattern of taking liberties with opponents, is different from someone like Finlay, who as far as I'm aware never pulled that stuff on someone who hadn't agreed to hit him just as hard.

Some more suggestions:

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

AJ Styles: hating on THE GAY COMMUNITY?!

Jeff Jarrett: holding the IC title to ransom for cash and all of TNA, basically

Sunny: pretty much a trainwreck

Deserting the military and holding bosses up for cash are both actually good

I'm inclined to agree. Orton and Jarrett are still both real lovely people though!

I agree, just not for those specific reasons
