The front page brought up the Trish Stratus dog barking segment. In hindsight, that was too far and there's definitely no way in hell they'd be able to do that today.

I know Dreamer's gimmick at the time was associated with "doing gross things" or whatever, but this never should've happened on-air. |

Don't really think they have. Their efforts to shock haven't really had much of an effect on me, probably because wrestling is so ridiculous anyway that when they try and get a serious reaction, it just doesn't work.
Honestly, the worst thing I've seen is sending Jeff out in that ridiculous state to fight Sting. |

It wasn't even the most convincing of worked shoots. Could totally see Jerry Lawler reading his "condolences" off a script.

Whatever gets people talking about the product. You can never go to far. Something the WWE really needs to think about, as they have little, to no stars left on the roster than can carry this company. No one is capable of making WWE relevant again in terms of the average fan.
They need to spice things up, and start making people talk about the business. |

That Katie Vick thing was pretty uncomfortable to watch.
Also, that time when Christopher Daniels didn't shake that guys hand in ROH. There's no place for that in the sport of wrestling. |

Ok, why exactly is it "bullying" when JR gets made fun of and it isn't "bullying" when Michael Cole gets his clothes ripped off, covered in barbecue sauce and beaten up?

Because JR is a "good guy" legend announcer who has a legitimate medical condition that effects thousands of Americans, and Michael Cole is an actor who plays an ass-kissing, sycophantic, douche bag announcer on TV.

I think the biggest complaint about "making fun of JR" is the fact that nobody has to twist up their face to do the damn impersonation, least of all Vince. That's the part that makes it cringeworthy.
That one over-exaggerated detail can make it go from simple ribbing to mean spirited. |

I'd say this entire storyline was a bit too much. I've never been a fan of storylines involing "outside of wrestling" family members. This storyline could have almost ended on a high note when Ric beat the crap out of Russo at The Great American Bash 2000, and then they did this crap the next night. |

don't agree with most of these, pretty hard to cross a line in pro wrestling where the bar is set pretty low to start with

I know there was one particular Nitro where Hogan fought the Giant and they went waaaaayy far. Tony Schiavone said they weren't cutting away until they had a winner. I think it cut into a viewing of Andersonville on TNT.

Well personally I think the fact wwe does lots of charity work and promotes antibullying campaigns one minute and then shows off vulgarity, rape and murder the next is pretty horrific.

Don't you remember the rape scene last week? Big Show really took it to Brodus Clay's dancer after he killed him with a punch. It was sickening.
