 The FREAKING NY19! Thanks to the tremendous amount of feedback The NY64 Executive Committee received on what to include in this tournament the NY19 is here for March Madness! Your entrants: (1) The Saudi Plane Incident: After Crown Jewel the majority of talent on the show was stuck in Saudi Arabia. WWE claims it was a mechanical failure and tried really hard to get talent to go along with this story, but many talent sent out messages on social media expressing worry about the situation. Was WWE involved in a weird power play over withheld money and the Saudi airing of the show? (2) The Women's TLC match from TLC: During this match Kairi Sane was clearly injured, suffering from at least a concussion in the eyes of everyone watching. Yet the match continued. The referee didn't stop it, Charlotte Flair continued working with an obviously injured Kairi, and no one from the back tried to stop the match either. Basic WWE concussion protocols were completely ignored in a match that was dangerous without a concussed wrestler. (3) Saudi Propaganda: After a certain journalist was murdered and dismembered WWE tried to pretend their Saudi shows came from some places unknown. Before Crown Jewel 19 they got comfortable saying they were coming from Saudi Arabia again, and that the progressive kingdom of Saudi Arabia was allowing advances in human rights! First and foremost they crowed about the first women's match in Saudi history and what a milestone it was, as further human rights crackdowns happened in the country. (4) Lashley/Rusev: The crown jewel of WWE cucking angles, this feud lasted for months and people sure seemed to hate it! Beyond the WWE cucking fetish this also seemed to play on racial stereotypes as well. (5) ACH Shirt: When NXT launched on USA a bunch of shirts were released, including an obviously blackface inspired shirt for Jordan Myles/ACH. The shirt was quickly pulled, but after a few weeks ACH grew angry about the incident and began lashing out at WWE. WWE (including HHH) tried to pass the buck back on ACH, making it seem like he had approved the shirt, when further evidence made it obvious that the racist design had not been his idea, and that HHH himself had approved of it. (I accidentally had this also listed as a 3 seed but bracketed it as a 5) (6) Not Granting Releases: Several WWE talent requested releases from their contract only to be denied for months despite not being used, or threatened with burials. These releases were eventually granted, although it is rumored Sin Cara had the goods on the company. (7) Underpaying Talent after TV Deals: WWE signed record TV deals, but wrestlers have seen very little of this money. Some contracts have been renegotiated, but revenue share in WWE is believed to be 8% to talent, and this comes after WWE has signed dozens of wrestlers to sit in NXT. (8) Lars Sullivan: WWE ignored that Lars Sullivan had posted numerous racist, sexist and otherwise terrible things on the Bodybuilding Forums. He was planned to get a big Wrestlemania push. The company was well aware of the posts. When outrage grew, they fined him $100,000, and it is unclear where this money is going, is WWE just pocketing it? (9) Mike/Maria Cuckolding Storyline: After re-signing with WWE, Mike and Maria were put in a cuckolding storyline where it was said their real life baby was not Mike's child. Corey Graves would call Mike a "beta cuck" on commentary and his character was humiliated for weeks. Soon after Mike would request his release, which was not granted. (10) Homophobic Revival Burial: After the Revival made it clear they would not re-sign, WWE all but threatened them with a burial on Raw if they didn't re-sign. This burial included the following: https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1123026333779390465 and subsequent jokes. (11) Lana/Liv: Part of the Rusev/Lashley storyline, during the wedding it was revealed that Lana and Liv were lesbian lovers. Or something? WWE decided to do this with two straight women after numerous LGBT wrestlers have hoped to be given a positive storyline dating back to Kanyon. (12) Euro Fuckery: WWE turned the screws further on the European indies last year, pulling contracted talent at will and demanding talent not lose, meanwhile ending the year with HHH's interview on After the Bell: quote:
(13) False Advertising: WWE false advertises all the time but upped the ante for their FOX debut, advertising Undertaker, Austin, Sting and others without delivering them. Undertaker was told days before the show he would not be needed so this was not a case of a last minute time crunch, they just decided to false advertise. (14) Tyson Fury: Fury has a history of being a bigot and WWE laid into this for ratings, hyping up that Fury would be given a live mic (who knows what slurs he might say!) (15) Paying Moxley $500 for his Farewell: $500 is the minimum WWE will pay you for an appearance. WWE heavily hyped up the Shield Finale as a major Network event, and then paid Moxley $500 for that final match, the same a jobber would make. Meanwhile they begged him to go on the European tour because they needed stars. PLAY IN FOR #16: Hell in a Cell: I hear this was a terrible show and an insult to those who paid money to watch it. The Fiend! Red lights! A DQ finish on PPV! Squashing Kofi: Kofi was beaten in seconds and made to look like a joke by Brock. People seemed upset! Graves/Mauro: Corey Graves bullied Mauro, and maybe some within the company were in favor of it? Mauro was forced to take time off from the company as a result, which is not the first time he has been bullied. White Nationalist Dijak: Dominik Dijakovic was very briefly given an obvious white nationalist gimmick where he tweeted "This continent has everything backwards. This is a diseased environment that breeds impurity. The streets are almost as filthy as the inhabitants. I would know, I’ve lived the majority of my life here. I owe it to myself and my family to Purify this wasteland." and cut a promo that seems edited but has suspicious undertones nonetheless. They also released t-shirts with imagery used by white nationalist groups. Follow along and vote on Twitter! https://twitter.com/NY64Tournament/status/1242512181939355650

NowonSA posted:I feel like Saudi propaganda deserves to win every year. Maybe it shouldn't even be in the tourney and every winner has to go up against Saudi propaganda to see if it can dethrone it. The Saudi plane incident is just some weirdness that's related to the deal, to me it doesn't come close to taking that money and doing good press for the Saudis. I will probably put the Saudi stuff in the hall of fame after this tournament and only add it in when they add new twists on the Saudi stuff like the plane incident. So there will definitely be another Saudi entry next year, let's just accept it.

jesus WEP posted:does shitcanning the xfl land in the purview of these polls? It's definitely pandemic related so I would think so. Chris James 2 posted:"having everyone stand outside in the line for hours for (finally) testing when it's 90 in Orlando" seems like it should at least be an Honorable Mention This is actually what inspired me to ask so I could keep track of things for when it's time to actually run this and by the time I started listing things I forgot.
