Ricc1PW Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 it's a little bit pathetic to whinge to Snickers and Burger King that John Cena and the Uso's had a bit of a joke about the latter's DUI arrest isn't it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it's pointless going on twitter to complain to sponsors or posting on here virtue signalling about 'triggering' aswell as a little bit pathetic. if you don't like it, don't watch it. easy. It’s not as simple as that, to me. Given the nature of wrestling, yes, it is pathetic to complain about the show portraying bullying, spouses arguing, people punching each other etc. It’s a genre where problems get solved by beating someone up. That’s never going to be fully Guardian-compliant, unless Vince’s next mad idea is that you can only win matches by throwing milkshakes at your opponent. But even within the construct of wrestling, they still have a responsibility in the way they present things. Viscera sexually assaulting everyone should not be presented as a babyface. Goodies and baddies shouldn’t all joyously gang up to get rid of the dirty disgusting Arab/queer in a Royal Rumble. I think it’s completely fair game to complain to sponsors about wrestlers tweeting “kill all niggers” or WWE getting into bed with the Saudi government or whatever, if you feel passionate about it.

The British Bushwacker Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I know Fatpants Foley has his pelters on here, but that little skit with Wyatt was the perfect use of him on RAW , wouldn't surprise me to hear it was his idea either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your post did a good job of illustrating why those of us working in a psychological context struggle to be able to use it with any of its intended meaning any more because its misused by "political correctness gone mad" wankers, so thanks for that. Erm I work in a psychological context as you nicely describe it. The whole term is massively over used. I have to use 'prompting event' when talking about traumas that bring about anxiety because triggers sounds so 'pop culture' in its use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. But whinging to those companies for letting a wrestler get raped during a salute the troops event, covering up murders etc. is probably worthwhile. It was the reason I decided to finally cancel the network (the other way to hit them where it works) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted July 26, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2019 Was unbelievably thrilled to see Kelly Kelly getting a brief comedy 24/7 title run, they could have let me book the reunion Raw myself and I would've been hard pressed to come up with something that I personally would have enjoyed as much as that.

If it's undeniably bad and stupid and can be proven, I'm sure we'd notice. From reports from insiders to public statements etc. The public statement WWE made concerning Ashley Massaro made clear how they and their sponsors felt about the situation. The Lars Sullivan situation was very different. It looked like it was going to be swept under the rug and people weren't having it. People wrote Snickers and just kept spamming the news all over the place. This (in my view) led to Sullivan apologizing publicly, privately and getting his ass kicked by lucha's. After his injury, I actually felt a tiny bit sorry for him as everything just came crashing down for this dude. Them's the breaks. If you think or feel that an entity (WWE in this case) or it's employees or it's publicaly broadcasted programming are so offensive that it erodes the fundimental values of the world we live in, I think you should always speak out. Just turning it off is fine too, but change is achieved by refusing to accept the things you find reprehensible.

Whats the deal with Strowman throwing jobbers around for fun? That started with him squashing "Randy Rhodes" at the anniversary, last week. I've heard Lashley's injured, so maybe Braun's in holding pattern? Edited July 29, 2019 by Whistling Skull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
