Yeah, by the time I kick off there'll be dozens of Warrior Award recipients and Billy and Chuck will be long forgotten

Gonna have to take people dying over the death of Bret's career (and the death of creativity in wrestling screwjobs)

Going to have to go with the more long-running one. At least the Kane/Lita storyline is well in the past.

It's amazing that despite having her own success outside WWE Trish comes back for special appearances after... that.

Vickie has almost nothing but good things to say about the company and wouldn't rule out future appearances either.

Gotta keep those $500 paychecks coming in

The thing we have to consider is that she wasn't against it as a performer. At the end of the day they're actors playing scenes and actually want to do what's in the script. We don't see what they went over backstage or how they felt about it. We don't have enough information to declare "Trish clearly didn't want to do this but Vince forced her because she couldn't say no".

Whether she agreed or not there's a big power imbalance there - and it's a wider issue with show business in general. Especially in a business like wrestling where a single worker has little to no power and no other options just saying "yes" isn't the end of the story.

And on top of that, the angle was disgusting and degrading and Trish (or anyone) should not have been asked to appear in them in the first place. They shouldn't have occurred.

Sadly the independent contractor stuff is capitalism working as intended

Killing someone for a stupid stunt is still seen as deplorable in that scope, so had to go with that
