Was surprised WWE didn't give Killian Dane a monster like push when he got called up last year tbh.

Would be funny if WWE repackaged OTIS as a 'monster heel' w/o any explanation and the commentary team acted terrified of him.
Hope OTIS would have a cape in this situation...picturing OTIS with a cape. |

Monster heels are only good if they have a maximum of 5 moves in their set.
Bundy is the one to watch for all upcoming monster heels. Bash, Bash, Slam, Bash, Bash, Splash, LONG PIN Bundy. |

Some of those comments aren't that old right? That whole "I was a different person then" remark is typically bullshit. He's prob still a racist, homophobic, ignorant pile of horse shit. And his non apology is the equivalent of Hogan's non apology. Which was bullocks itself.
The fact that wwe has allegedly known about this the whole time is hilarious. Imagine being a talent there of any non white ethnicity, reading this shit, then reading that your boss knew it was out there and still hired this fuck. What would compel you to want to work with this individual or this company going forward? The only choice is to try to save face and fire him immediately. |

If they fired him now it would look so awful, even worse because their integrity and credibility would be utterly destroyed.

So WCW were actually more progressive in 1993 than WWE is now.

The few articles I’ve read (and granted, most of these seem to talk about wrestling more than other outlets), are quick to point out that while Lars makes a stock apology and all is supposedly to be forgiven, young black wrestlers are pulled off the road for having attitude problems.

@ Damian Rey
You are correct, there is stuff from 2012 and maybe up thru 2014/2015. |

The logic behind canning human shit bag Lars is to show their locker room, particularly the ethnic portion, that they're aware they've made a mistake and are trying to remedy it, even tho he should've never been hired or kept on if they knew about it. |

Can I advise anyone who is disgusted by WWE to cancel their WWE Networks. Stop giving this company money. You can find whatever you want on the internet.

I meant their integrity with regards to their stance on why they signed him and keep him on.
The Saudi Arabia stuff would bother me if there was some sort of worldwide sporting embargo on them but everyone plays sports there and they are invited to play all over the world. I can't hammer Vince for something governments willingly allow. |

Yeah, no, you're totally right considering WWE never take down anything from the vast library they own that others post.

I cancelled the network long ago. I reordered to watch nxt mania, and nxt was worth it.
The network is still seemingly holding. Not going to events, not buying merch and not watching their shitty television product is the way to go. |

I love WWE network.
I'm rewatching WCW events I didn't even know I had seen before. Apparently I saw a lot of this in Scotland as a 5-8 year old. I keep getting lovely goosebumps whenever I see someone I remember. Johnny B Badd was always Marc Mero to me until I remembered him putting kiss shaped stickers on his fallen opponent. That is a 25 year old memory and I was knocked sideways by it because I can't have thought about it since I was a tot. Saw The Ding Dongs for the first time ever last night. I assumed that this was classic anti-Herd hyperbole but nope, they really did leave bells all over the canvas and one of them really did rattle a bell all the way through the fucking match. I have never seen heat like it. It was instantaneous and absolutely the wrong sort of anger... I have never felt so sorry for and simultaneously angry at a performance. That will be my tinnitus if I ever get it. |

I want to see Lars get fired just because Mars is pissed over it and might not sponsor Mania no more

1. WWE looks like shit for not doing it on their own 2. Shows neither company actually cares about the issue, just willing to do enough to ensure their mutual beneficial relationship continues. If Mars candy REALLY cared, it would not ask for Lars to be fired or else, it would be we can no longer do business with a company who either doesn't perform due diligence or who wilfully ignored this. |

Good heavens. What do we do if Mars decides not to sponsor Mania? NOW I'm invested in this issue.

DAMN is such a good christian man that the idea that it may be possible to find old wrestling stuff WWE owns on the internet via shady methods hasn't even occurred to him.

Which reminds me. I still find it strange how the Old School Review guys are able to show so much footage of WWE PPVs on their YouTube videos without WWE making them take it down.

I want to see Sullivan wrestle Lashley, now. And have Lashley read some of the shit Sullivan said beforehand.

People don't want to see a racist on their TV being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars -- likely more given how contracts are going.

Stop supporting WWE and illegally pirate stuff instead! You being a criminal totally shows them and makes you morally superior! Wait.....what?

You can do a fucking Google search and pull up plenty of classic matches that aren’t even in WWE’s library. Fuck’s sake, are yanks always this masochistic? So feeble. The “moral” is: Stop financially supporting WWE if you want them to change. You don’t have to make that choice if you want to watch wrestling. Give your money to another promotion, or a charity, or drink a fucking coffee in the park. Stop supporting their metrics if their business decisions bother you. |

It's not with anybody who likes WWE. Their bad taste is their bad taste. It's the willingness to suck WWE's dick while not liking the taste that bothers me.
And WWE themselves piss me off because it's really hard to forget they are an evil empire in 2019. |

I spent a fuckload of money on WWE PPVs and DVDs when the product was good. I can still enjoy those. I’ve saved roughly $600 over the past 5 years because WWE is so awful that I have never had any desire to pay $10 for what I used to pay $50 for even with the offer of a ton of bonus content for my dollar. That $600 has paid for 20 bottles of Johnnie Walker over those 5 years which have made me very happy.
So in a way, I should be happy that they have stopped trying. My liver however thinks that Vince should be raped with a rusty pitchfork. Last edited by #1-norm-fan; 05-12-2019 at 12:23 AM. |
