 Last year we held the first ever NY64 to determine the Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic in WWE history! The Ring Boy Scandal won and everyone wondered how anyone could watch this company. I said I'd immediately follow up with another tournament to determine the worst person in WWE history! Well I'm lazy.  The rules are simple: I'm allowing anyone who worked for WWE for a significant amount of time, or worked in partnership with them, or basically the rules are I'm not letting Trump in. You've gotta be a home grown wrestling scumbag to get in my tournament. Hulkamatt and I allegedly broke down half of the bracket here: https://twitter.com/MonumentalPod/status/1198644374185357313 How does it work? Twice a day I will post a poll on twitter. You can find them here https://twitter.com/NY64Tournament and I'll post the links in the thread. Generally the votes start around lunchtime and 8 PM Eastern. Vote for the person you think is more of an rear end in a top hat, the person with more votes advances. If there is a tie both assholes advance. The #16 seeds will be determined by play in votes similar to the NCAA tournament. Play in matches start tomorrow! Hulkamatt forgot to put the seeds on the graphic but you can basically figure it out. The results of the first tournament are here: https://twitter.com/NY64Tournament/status/1086688935596736512 Thank you to the Top Secret NY64 Championship Committee for helping vet the names, Hulkamatt for creating the bracket image and Bix for suggesting some names I wouldn't have considered! davidbix posted:USEFUL ADDITIONAL NOTES AFTER LISTENING TO THE PODCAST, NOW WITH RECEIPTS: MassRafTer fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Nov 26, 2019 |

Davros1 posted:As disgusting as his actions were, I don't think Zumhofe should be in the tourney. He was an occasional jobber for the WWF; it's not like when he was featured player/champion in the AWA. The thing that led me to include Buck was he was used over a long period of time and stories at the time of his arrest said some of his activities were an open secret in the business. Bruiser Bedlam was an oversight. I remembered him during a couple commutes and would forget to add the name by the time I got home. I also forgot the details of his conviction. I remembered he got off on a murder charge, then sued and got his court costs, the police station bombing but not the OTHER murder charge. So I'm going to slide him in to replace Scott Steiner, then drop Steiner into the Harris Brothers slot and make them a play in. Gives the biker enthusiasts a chance to win a match.

Davros1 posted:So is this a WWE specific tourney, or a wrestling on the whole tourney? It's a WWE tournament but I'm going to be inclusive and accepting in the case of Buck because those are some horrible crimes and likely some of them were done in plain sight when he did those jobs in WWE.

In my personal opinion it's Heyman all the way but I wanted to share a Shane story here since it speaks to the tournament in general. In Gary Michael Cappetta's book Bodyslams he relays a story where he meets Shane as a teen. He asks him what he knows about wrestling. Shane responds that it's important to make the wrestlers feel useless so you don't have to pay them as much.

Second half of the preview special is up with the alleged sex predator wing of the NY64, and some completely bizarre stories. Not sure if this is a great show, but I laughed a lot in between really hating people. https://twitter.com/NY64Tournament/status/1199918540855361536 MassRafTer fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Nov 28, 2019 |

Gavok posted:It's a close one, but I feel that Russo is hateful because he's an idiot and Cornette is an idiot because he's hateful. Cornette revels in being a dickhead and that gives him the edge in my eyes. This is how I default but then I read the deposition transcripts. It's such a hard call. https://twitter.com/davidbix/status/976580164736946178?s=19

Aesop Poprock posted:Even with the Cornette stuff being fresher Russo is still a bit worse. His programming was the equivalent of an hour+ of the Ethiopian joke except brimming with palpable disgust towards women, gay/trans people, every ethnicity that wasn’t white etc. It can be hard to remember it because it’s easier to dismiss him as a wacky dude when he’s a legit terrible human being with toxic views Russo's TV is notorious but Cornette's SMW had some deeply racist angles.

Russo's booking definitely put more people at risk. Also this thread has some evidence for Vince, Linda and McDevitt's candidacies. https://twitter.com/NY64Tournament/status/1200205231793037313?s=19

You might not want to get fired for a stunt where you are assured everything will be alright.

Aesop Poprock posted:Anything specific about Wichlinski actively abusing people, or was he just an inappropriate pervert? Here's the Anonymous complaint that was posted about him and DeMott. quote:First, please understand that it is of the utmost importance that I maintain my anonymity, and hopefully by the end of this you will understand why. I have told some of my story to a reporter, but it seems that unfortunately they were yet another outlet who has been told not to touch this story. Please bear with me as I've never used reddit before. https://www.instagram.com/p/fDLkpwPeob/?modal=true One of the few social media posts still up. Note the still he chose for video. Wichlinski was more harassment than straight up abuse but people were reportedly fired for speaking up.

It was mentioned Double J got a bad draw and originally he wasn't supposed to face Bedlam so it is kind of true. Bix drew my attention to the Thunderbolt testimony WRT this one, and while it isn't from TNA, this is what was said about Terry Taylor before TNA thought it'd be a good idea to hire him... and also get sued for racial discrimination. Weird! https://twitter.com/NY64Tournament/status/1200866100273135616

Benoit's bracket should also be interesting since Hogan is getting such a huge percentage of votes in his match and the winner of that will face HHH.
