Anyway, perhaps the WWE is finally seeing that the Internet is a very large part of their audience. And I think Bradshaw's comments was good heel work yet again. That was so amazingly over the top that it may be Bradshaw's best "mic" work in years, regardless of whether or not he meant it to be. Anything that gets people talking, or even a little emotional about a character, is a good thing no matter what.
It's just like the Flair interview from a few weeks ago when he was saying he doesn't like fans using wrestler's lingo. Every time we're targeted, it makes most net fans furious, while it just makes me laugh because I know it is a work and just an attempt to get heat from the Internet fans since net fans are too intelligent to hate wrestlers when they are on TV, so the wrestlers have to hit below the belt on the web to get heat from the Smarks and it works like a charm. Guys like Flair and Bradshaw are heels. It's what they do!

So then why did he do this stuff when he was supposed to be a fae, too?
Oh wait, that would totally blow a hole in the argument that it's always a work. Why would you want to recognise something like that. That would require using critical thinking and facts to come up with a solid argument.
Nobody forgot about Chris Jericho's little rant. However, people don't care, because Jericho's at least talented in the ring.
Bradhsaw isn't.
Freedom of speech is a two way street.. However, you're a moron if you think that freedom of speech should in any way, shape, or form protect Bradshaw from backlash. It's called freedom of speech because people are now free to respond.
I've also got some news for you: Bradshaw is not a new wrestler. It's socking, yes, but some of us "smarts" have ACTUALLY seen him wrestle and are not pre-judging him, but judging his actual work. He's only been around for a couple of decades, so I could see where you were confused there.
Finally, Heel work isn't supposed to make you turn off the TV. It's supposed to rile you up so you'll watch the guy, not so you'll say "Fu>ck this shit" and turn off the TV.
Bradshaw's reminding us once again that, no matter what role he plays, he's still Bradshaw. He's turned off people who were interested in his gimmick despite his consitently shitty work in-ring.
If this is a work, it's as weak as his normal work. I know the thought of Bradshaw in the main event will keep me from ordering the PPV...
