Once again, Foley is god
Quote:
- WWE's Mick Foley and Michael "P.S." Hayes recently got into a major argument during a filming of the WWE Legends show on WWE 24/7. Not much else is known, but the argument had to do with the Vince McMahon death angle from earlier this year. Foley was adamant that the angle was in bad taste while Hayes strongly defended the angle.

Um, I like you Matthew, you know that, but shouldn't someone be looking for opportunities to praise Mick Foley?

As for this particular scenario, the angle was in bad taste. I mean, it didn't particularly offend me, and it was the first taste of the Attitude era in a long time, but it was only really interesting because of the potential. There was no real reason to do it. Michael Hayes is probably defending the angle because he's an employee of the company.

I think Foley is right, it was in poor taste.

But this is just him thinking in was stupid, like most people, I just dont see how this makes Foley god.

Praise Foley all you want, but at least have a good reason.

If i'm not mistaken, wasn't everyone curious to see how it was going to turn out, talking about "potentially either the best or worst storyline of the year" up until the Benoit incident? I honestly remember everyone being interested in it until that happened a week later, then all of a sudden it was in "bad taste."

God always looks kinda fat and hoboish in that robe and beard dealie.

And as far as Holier than thou, I mean, he is God.

So Foley meets the criteria.

At the time, the angle was perfect, I'm not really sure why people think it was in poor taste. To be fair, an exploding limo isn't exactly original either.
But Kennedy getting a push and Mcmahon being off TV for a while was inviting. Benoit's death was unfortunate and tragic, but the limo came before hand. I cannot see why it is in poor taste. I have been a fan of Foley for a long while but cannot see where he is coming from on this.
I realise he is one of the few who will stand up to Vince (and the company in general) but is it really in poor taste?

Where they went with it and chopped in the biggest storyline of the year to put over a midget, who is entertaining but can't have a match I would take seriously, just seems stupid.

Roll on Shane taking the reigns of the company, can't wait.

I know people say "Vince couldn't have predicted the future," But within minutes of the limo blowing up, people were already predicting a wrestling death would end it. Why? Because deaths in pro wrestling are about as hard to predict as a full moon.

So, yeah. If you can't think of a single reason people might think it was in poor taste....

Then again, with Vince, I'm surprised he hasn't "faked his death" again yet. You know, by a WWE camera crew coming in and finding his family dead, and him hanging from a weight machine.

Actually, I'd kind of laugh at that, but it wouldn't exactly be WITH Vinnie.

So Vince will be winding up dead or in a coma at least twice a year.

Actually, it'll probably become the new "Lunchtime Suicide." Every week, Vince will fake his death in an attempt to drum up ratings.

NOW THAT was in poor taste.

Its nearly impossible to mock suicide without coming off badly.


Suicide doesn't = Funny

In fact

Suicide is bad!

Chris Benoit should have committed suicide himself instead of killing his wife and kid.

While not funny, this statement would almost fall into the "good" category, what with hindsight and all.

So its now poor taste to do a death angle on the off-chance that someone might die soon after? If it was the other way round and Benoit (or anyone) had died the week before the limo explosion then yes I agree it would haven been extremely poor taste.

Not only that but whilst there are comparitivley more deaths related to wrestling than the average, but theres an awful lot of people involved in wrestling these days. Everyone's going to die one day, me, you, everyone on this board, unfortunately punctuated by the recent untimely loss of Pepsiman (R.I.P).

If The Rock was found dead tomorrow, would that be classed as a wrestling related death? For many years he was the industry's top performer (or one of a few at the very top anyway).

You say that predicting deaths in wrestling isn't hard, can you point to one post here that predicted Benoit was even likely to be next?

Also its not like any of the deaths in wrestling have been limousine or bomb related (AFAIK). Its a storyline, please can the world learn how to seperate fiction from reality, death happens, its not nice, but it does.

Death should never be used. Whether Benoit happened or not, a death storyline is somwhat pushing it.

Death is acceptable on shows like Desperate Housewives, everyone knows its fake, and its not marketed at kids.

Wrestling falls into a weird area. We know its fake, but it is supposed to be real, and most of its fans are kids.

Whatever you do don't ever watch a soap opera will you, or a film. Many of these will involve death angles, also no-one forced any of them to become wrestlers, getting into the business through WWE is possibly one of the hardest things to do.

Its death, it happens, it WILL happen to you one day, the same as it WILL happen to me one day. As I said, not my favorite fact, but true none the less.

I'm sorry, but as a collective we bitch about the world thinking that wrestling is entirely fake. Ask most people whether wrestling is fake or not and they will laugh and say 'of course its fake'. The fact that it is marketed at kids is what is in poor taste, the same as them marketing sex angles at kids is in poor taste.
