Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.
The worst thing I can think of that actually went according to plan was WWE forcing Hawk to pretend he was a drunk and high addict with suicidal tendencies.... when he was actually struggling with those issues in real life. IIRC, some dude named Puke ended up "killing" him by pushing him off the titantron or something fucking dumb like that.
That shit is just cruel. Katie Vick was just Triple H humping a doll at the end of the day. [Reply]
The most uncomfortable thing WWE does nowadays is allow Shane McMahon to wrestle. He always stiffs guys and ends up taking receipts, does some of the dumbest bumps you'll see at a modern day show, turns a varying shade of dark pink all the way to purple in every match, and routinely forgets what he's supposed to say when he's playing the authority figure. The dude is 49 years old. Get him out of there. [Reply]

If it makes you feel any better, "Puke" was Darren Drozdov, a former scrub for the Broncos who was later paralyzed when D. Lo Brown botched a running powerbomb and dumped him on his head. [Reply]

Pillman was God. He swerved three promotions into paying him all at the same time, got a guaranteed contract from Vince, was so good on the mic that he got ECW guys to boo the shit out of him after he began a promo tearing apart Bischoff, and was one of the best American cruiserweights of the early-mid 90s. Unfortunately, that car wreck destroyed his ankle and he came back too soon, which exacerbated a painkiller addiction that helped stop his heart.
He was every bit the total package as almost anyone that ever worked for that company. [Reply]

So am I and the entirety of my wrestling experience is working as a run-in referee and Mean Gene-esque backstage interviewer for a backyard wrestling program. [Reply]
