He had a big say in basically everything he did for that entire 4 or 5 year period. That time period is when the "am I fucking going over" story happened. Only debatable thing is if he actually changed or if he just learned to hide it, and considering how the family has treated the Trump situation this whole year, it seems like the latter

heh I get it

i'd rather just ignore real life stuff in wrestling when it comes to politics and world views. Wrestlers are carny idiots. Actually, this applies to most sports, sports people aren't the smartest

As well as my aforementioned thankfulness for AJ Styles no longer being "The rookie pitbull", I'm thankful for WrassleGAF.

Despite the arguments, craziness, marks and smarks, you're all good people.

Even you.

did he book that feud tho? legit question

like yeah you're sorta right and I understand your complaints for real, but then again if you want to disregard anyone who ever said something racist in WWE, man you're in for a field trip

Hmm... You got your Triple H. You got your Ken Shamrock calling the Nation "monkeys". You got post-Shawn DX as a whole doing blackface. You got Ignorant, Clearly-From-Oklahoma, Diet Racist JR on occasion. You got Jerry Lawler and Brian Christopher being horrible to Mexicans. You got Vince McMahon for putting this trash on TV and probably being a key racist idea man.

That's all I got. Who am I forgetting?

Oh, Roddy Piper back in the '80s was pretty bad. Not sure it was ever meant to be racist or malicious, but he totally was.

You're right. He was horrible. Talking about selling tacos and enchiladas and stuff. And Heenan probably said stuff, too. Makes me sad, because the delivery is great -- and it's one of those "is it okay since they're heels?" moments -- but it's still wrong. I hate myself when I find it entertaining.
 
Just heard an ad for an indie show in town. Erik Watts is the headliner and "Ring of Honor Stars" Brutal Bob Evans and the Beer City Bruiser are also set to appear.

Every 4-5 years someone tries to run a show and it just gets sadder and sadder. We don't even get ROH on TV and I can't imagine any ROH fan is excited to see those two. They should've got Cheeseburger.

He currently holds the Percy Pringle Urn which is the same as the briefcase on CWFH. Sunny would be mad salty hearing Watts is still in the business
 
A downer how?

Angle lays his whole background out in the open. And by that I mean everything.

His real dad was an alcoholic who died when he was 16. His father figure after that, his coach Dave Schultz, was murdered by a legally-insane DuPont (the story of which was portrayed on film in the 2014 Foxcatcher starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo). His sister OD'd on heroin and died. His mom died of cancer last year. His brother David this year pled guilty to killing his wife. And his two best friends in the business were Eddie and Benoit, and I'm sure we've all discussed what happened with each a lot of times.

Basically every time he thought he was in a good enough emotional state to stop taking (or at least lessen) the crazy amount of drugs and painkillers he was on at any given time, something else happened and he took a lot more to cope. Legally, I don't know how the fuck you can take all those pills and still maintain a pulse.

Vince using the n-word

and like you could go way further if you look at the gimmicks... headshrinkers gimmick, every asian gimmick in the past 30 years, Becky Lynch in NXT, Godfather, Papa Shango, Muhammad Hassan, etc, etc

P.S. Foxcatcher was a good movie.

It's pretty amazing that WWF never changed the Hardcore Championship design to look more respectable.

Can't decide if I like that or not.
