Jericho is to pro wrestling what Ben Carson is to brain surgery. Unparalleled brilliance in his field, a completely idiotic poo poo-rear end outside of it. Actually I'm only working on stuff I've heard in the past and have half-forgotten; does anybody have examples of Jericho being 'dumb'? I don't know if giving a platform to idiots that should absolutely not be heard on his podcast is 'dumb' per se.

IceAgeComing posted:He went on a rampage about how Mochizuki's kicks were those of an amateur and later admitted that he didn't know who Masaaki Mochizuki is - at the time he'd been wrestling at a high level for like 20 years.  bartok posted:Jeff Hardy seems pretty dumb but more in a self destructive way. One of my favorite Punk things was after Jeff's contract expired and he immediately got arrested for a ton of pills, and straight-edge preaching Punk just came out the next week and said "I told you so. Don't buy his DVD."

sticklefifer posted:He's tanked some pretty big angles/matches/feuds by being an idiot, so I'd say he counts. When you screw up like he does, it affects everyone who wrote for him, wrestles with him, and he also becomes a liability. If Jeff had been in the ring with anybody but Sting, that Victory Road probably ends a lot worse. I always thought Sting handled that very well, especially with how pissed he obviously was

TAKA was also using his promotion's LINE account to try to flirt with women messaging him to buy tickets and told one of them that Suzuki-gun was played out and sucked as a faction which she immediately tweeted about. Also he's running JTO using his own personal bank account instead of a separate business bank account like every other promotion here but I don't know enough about running a business to know if that's bad.

sticklefifer posted:Anyone who disrespects Karate Robot Mochi is no friend of mine. An overlooked favorite promo segment of mine is Punk saying to Jeff "You know how many drug tests I've failed, Jeff? Zero. You know how many times I've been suspended for drug use, Jeff? Zero. And do know what your chances are for beating me this Sunday? Zero. " That feud was great, although putting Jeff in promo segments with Punk was like feeding Marko Stunt to Wanderlei Silva in a shoot fight.

i think if youre going to rule out actual criminals because they are contemptible for their behaviour, that you should also rule out people with obvious substance and addiction issues out of compassion. that isn't them being dumb, that's someone that needs help. imo

Benne posted:Also extremely dumb: Matt Sydal getting caught with synthetic when anyone with half a brain knows how strict Japan's drug laws are. Got banned from the country and lost a cushy New Japan spot over it. Isn’t that basically what happened to him in WWE as well? Regular weed was just a fine, but synthetic pot was a full blown strike under the wellness policy, if I recall correctly, which ultimately resulted in his termination. Like, that’s some dumb poo poo. Just smoke real weed and you’ll keep your job, that’s a pretty easy win-win scenario in my mind. Also this reminds me of some other dumb poo poo: Rob Van Dam Motherfucker was one of the very first people to go over John Cena at the peak of the SuperCena push, wins his first WWE title (while already ECW champ) in a crazy-memorable match, and then he loses it all a few weeks later when him and Sabu get busted smoking pot while driving to the next town. That’s some dumb poo poo.

Trent? of Best Friends has never filed for or paid his taxes, and likely owes the government shitloads of money. I think it's safe to add him to our Dumbass list, although much like Ibushi his stupidity is mostly charming and non-malicious.

So Jae dropped this gem on a podcast about a month ago, but apparently the former president of Dragon Gate, Takashi Okamura, A: Believes in demons. B: Believed that a wrestler who was on a slump of bad matches or poor crowd reactions was because they were being possessed by demons. C: Would perform exorcisms on these under-performing wrestlers. So that's pretty up there.

His wallet is also a ziplock bag and he decided to do big planchas every NJPW match and not get caught. Because he had another injury and they would fix it in Japan if he got hurt there.

Brodus Clay is another dumbass. He’s a fox commentator and aside from being an unfunny conservative commentator he’s also had multiple sexual harassment allegations. As far as his wrestling career goes, he was gifted a gimmick that he could’ve milked for decades but instead abandoned it so he could be a generic monster heel.

DangerDummy! posted:SOME GUY GOT HIS FUCKEN DICK BLOWN OFF?? Yes! But no, not really. Shlak vs JJ Allin, Shlak set off fireworks in a car while him and JJ were in it. Shlak then ran over JJ with the car, taped him to a chair, and set off a small firecracker on him. Honestly after being in a car shooting roman candles and being hit with a car the firecracker was the least dangerous bit.
