Originally Planned Main Event for WrestleMania 30 Has Been Scrapped
The planned match, which would feature HHH vs. Steve Austin (who would be representing Vince) for control of the company will not take place. No word on what caused the match to be scrapped or if they are planning to replace Austin with another wrestler.

Huh. This is the first time I've heard that HHH/Austin was even considered.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Meltzer, that was the original plan but its off the table now. He says he was not told the specifics but does speculate that either Austin did not want to return or that they want to make Vince heel in the feud.
ReplyDeleteIt was Bruce Prichard who left TNA, not Tom Prichard!
ReplyDeleteHHH vs. Austin? For fuck's sake, this company used to rail against WCW for using old, washed up guys in the main events of their PPVs. Now they can't wait to drag Rock, Undertaker, HHH, and apparently Austin into the ring.
ReplyDeleteAge in the Cage!
ReplyDeleteThe HHH/Austin thing is bullshit, and I can prove it.
ReplyDelete"The planned match, which would feature Lou Ferrigno vs. Chris Benoit (who would be representing the Canadian Ku Klux Klan) fighting over who gets last night's Mexican leftovers will not take place. No word on what caused the match to be scrapped, however it should be noted that Vince only heard about Benoit's death last fortnight because he's so darned behind the times."
Nobody had heard of this dumb rumour, it wasn't evident at all, yet you can't prove that it wasn't planned.
Was the match going to be officiated by the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
ReplyDelete"AJ Styles Autobiography to be Published Soon

I'd rather read a mathematics textbook, circle the errors, and then fire off angry letters laced with racial slurs to the editor.
Changed it, Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteReplace racial with homophobic and that's actually Styles book.
ReplyDeleteVince bringing Austin back makes zero sense; a big-time Austin return would be as a face, there's just no other way, and there's no way Vince is a face against HHH/representing Daniel Bryan.
ReplyDeleteThe Rock would make way more sense, as he was once Vince's Corporate Champion (successfully, unlike Austin's horrible heel run), and I think fans were getting a little tired of Rocky last time; they could play off that.
...Because he's southern? I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteBill Behrens is widely considered to be gay and rumored by many to get with some of the wrestlers he promoted.
ReplyDeleteIf Rock's injury was real (and I believe it was) there is NO way he's coming back. If he does he might as well come back full time because his insurance is going to go through the roof on set.
ReplyDeleteAJ Styles is NOTORIOUSLY homophobic. He's a guy who won't say bastard but is fine with calling people faggots.
ReplyDeleteWait, really? Considering AJ's thoughts on that subject I'm going to guess that didn't happen.
ReplyDelete"The planned match, which would feature HHH vs. Steve Austin (who would
ReplyDeletebe representing Vince) for control of the company will not take place. Instead the last thirty minutes of Wrestlemania will be HHH masturbating himself to completion in the center of the ring while looking at a picture of himself as the undisputed title. Just like his last three Wrestlemania matches it will be plodding, pointless, and boring."
Maybe the people he called faggots were being faggots. Like, I bet one time Matt Morgan was all "I prefer Coltrane's earlier work to his later stuff" and AJ was all like "fuckin' faggot."
ReplyDeleteNice use of Louis CK, but no. http://bit.ly/15QOzx4
ReplyDeleteNot looking forward to a Bischoff-booked show. If only there were like a dozen successful wrestling bookers hanging out at home nowadays that TNA could call. Might be a weird option but I'd give Jake Roberts the book.
ReplyDeleteHHH headlining WrestleMania is a horrendous idea. He never has been or never will be the same level draw as Hogan, Rock, Austin, Lesnar, or Cena. He will always be at the top of that second tier and needs to accept it, even though he and his in-laws never will.
ReplyDeleteFOREWORD
ReplyDeleteFrom the very beginning, I knew AJ Styles was one of the greatest physical specimens I'd ever seen in the ring. But I had to know for sure.
After an intense and ethereal love making session in which my doody-hole was stretched to its utmost limits, AJ hit the shower. I panted heavily in lust and shock: nobody had made me feel this way. As he got out of the shower with a tiny towel wrapped around his waist, beads of hot water dripping from his statuesque figure, one word came to mind:
PHENOMINAL.
- Bill "Bottom" Behrens.
The other WrestleMania 30 main event that also has been scrapped is Alberto Del Rio vs. The Undertaker.
ReplyDeleteThe plan was that Ricardo steals the urn and pawns it off at a bodega. In a flash of storyline-writing brilliance, the lights dim and Gothic imagery appear on the Titantron, interrupting several of ADR's matches. Del Rio will cut promos, bragging that he will end Undertaker's streak.
Dave Meltzer? Is she made of wax or sumpthin'?
ReplyDeleteChris Benoit: a better wrestler dead than any man alive - Vince McMahon.
ReplyDeleteTHAT was the planned main event?!?
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ, that's awful!
HHH was the perfect heel foil for the Rock in 2000. But I agree, I would like to see Austin come back but the only thing I want to watch less than Austin vs. HHH is HHH vs. the Rock.
ReplyDeleteI know of the Louis bit you speak of, but no, it was more of a vehicle to underline the douchiness of not only mentioning John Coltrane but to claim that "his earlier stuff was better".
ReplyDeleteIgnore those downvotes. Those past three HHH Mania matches are "sports entertainment" in the worst way possible.
ReplyDeleteI really just wanted to use the lmgtfy link. But at this point I see the word faggot the way I see the word nigger. At this point, the only people using it are either true bigots or people trying to be "edgy". It's why I have little to no respect for Jim Norton or Nick DiPaolo. The problem isn't that they say faggot, it's that they're not funny and say it so they can justify their lack of success.
ReplyDeleteMy God. He doesn't really call people faggots does he? Jesus...the audacity. Did he not get the memo that that is the worst thing you can say - ever?
ReplyDeleteCan someone PLEASE forward to AJ the list of words you can and cannot say before he possibly offends someone? I am completely intolerant on this subject! What a piece of shit.
Dude...what's up with the quadruple post?
ReplyDeleteThe Mid-South set does look great.
ReplyDeleteDid the Blade Runners actually have any memorable feuds or matches or accomplish anything? I'm not an expert on Mid-South by any means - but it always seemed like the only reason people know who they are is because of Sting & Warrior's later success.
There's no psychology to them and HHH has NO wind at this point. The three matches are basically spot, rest, rest, rest, move, rest, rest, rest, move, rest, rest, rest for thirty boring minutes. They're so plodding.
ReplyDeleteOh. Cool.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, Rock is "only" 41. For context, Flair was 40 during the string of '89 Steamboat matches.
ReplyDeleteYeah, what's wrong with a face character calling people faggots on national tv?
ReplyDeleteI sense your irony and I approve.
ReplyDeleteLooking more and more like we're going to get another "McMahon in every corner!" situation, or something similar. Damnit all.
ReplyDeleteI mean, it's a word. People can say whatever they want, I'm just allowed to point out that it makes them sound ignorant.
ReplyDeleteIt's a thread I got to early, and I'm several White Russians deep.
ReplyDeleteTell me more.
ReplyDeleteI have a tumblr, twitter, and blogspot on the topic. I'm also going to post an instagram picture of me with the No H8 sticker over my mouth but I can't pick the right filter.
ReplyDeleteDude, I got a party this weekend. Can you come? I want you to bore the girls to sleep so I can "take advantage" if you catch my drift.
ReplyDeleteYes, but Flair could also go 54 minutes with Steamboat and still look fresh out there. Rock blows up quickly these days. If you're gonna put these old dudes in the ring, make sure they can still go. Undertaker can only do one match a year. HHH books matches where he lays around half the time to hide that he's broken down. No telling how fast Austin would blow up, or how limited he'd be because of injuries.
ReplyDeleteHas HHH ever had a triumphant Wrestlemania moment?
ReplyDelete12: squashed by Warrior
13: Forgettable match with Golddust
14: Forgettable match with Owen
15: Loses to Kane and then turns heel later in the show.
16: First heel to retain the title at Mania but in a forgettable match.
17: Loses to Taker in a good, not great, match.
18: Wins the undisputed title in an okay match in front of a deflated crowd.
19: Buries Booker T six feet under.
20: Taps to Benoit
21: Loses to Batista but makes him a star
22: Loses to Cena
23: Loses to his quads
24: Loses to Orton
25: Beats Orton in a boring, anti-climactic match.
26: Beat Sheamus in the middle of the show
27: Loses to Taker in a polarizing match
28: Loses to Taker in a BORING match.
29: Beats Lesnar in a boring match.
(I hope you got the self-deprecating sarcasm in my previous post)
ReplyDeleteA main event, you know they always have, like, 3.
ReplyDeleteWM18 is his big moment. They didn't know that Rock/Hogan was going to blow the main event out of the water. They should have known that since Hogan was Hogan, Rock was Rock and the title feud was about walking Stephanie's dog but they didn't think that far in advance.
ReplyDeleteOr, Meltzer just made it up because he needed something to get hits on his website. Vince bringing Austin in actually makes less sense than the other stupid shit they do on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteIt was in his newsletter, which you have to pay for already so that idea you have doesn't make any sense.
ReplyDelete18 was his moment.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but HHH has to be self-aware enough that people remember that as second fiddle to Hogan-Rock.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I think it makes sense. Austin has name value. I wouldn't mind seeing Austin wrestle Punk.
ReplyDeleteEach of the past two main events has been Rock-Cena. Sure, Punk-Taker and HHH-Brock were "main events', but only one match closed the show.
ReplyDeleteI read this news as indicating that HHH-Austin was planned to be THE main event and I think that's an awful idea. Glad they scrapped it.
23: Loses to his quads
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, I laughed pretty good at that
OK, to get his name out there with a news item?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the overuse of in-ring dialogue meant to be heard by the viewer :shudder:
ReplyDeleteYeah, he was THE GUY in that moment, but what a wet fart of a match. Has there been a bigger lame duck of a champ heading into a Mania closer than Jericho at 18?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm asking, yes.
ReplyDeleteI would, too, and I think that's a much better use for Austin than throwing him in to the McMahon family drama, part 2,137.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to turn a negative into a positive: how awesome was Brock getting increasingly frustrated at No Way Out '04 and bellowing, "just die, Eddie!" Yes, harsh in hindsight but it really got across how frustrated Brock was.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that one of the "creative differnces" that lead to the heat between AJ Styles and CM Punk. (Punk always came off as anti religious right)
ReplyDeleteYeah what is he, some kinda ladies man or sumphtin
ReplyDeleteFor the same reason he shouldn't call someone a nigger
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. It's really effective when used in moderation.
ReplyDeleteShit, when Brodus was yelling "My bad!" after tossing dudes on their head last year, I thought he could be a real player.
For a while now, they have promoted a few matches as "main events."
ReplyDelete"The winner of the Royal Rumble gets to main event WrestleMania against the champion of his choice!" Outside of Cena-Rock this year, it's been a while since the Rumble winner closed the show. I think the last time it happened before that was WM 25 with Orton-HHH.
sure..........
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST HITS WHEN YOU GOOGLE THAT
IT'S AJ STYLES GAY SLASH FAN FICTION
SOMEONE EMAIL THAT SHIT TO HIM
http://archiveofourown.org/tags/A*d*J*d*%20Styles/works
Bigots<<<<>>>>> internet white knights
ReplyDeleteWell, setting aside that outside the ring AJ is actually a homophobic bigot. It's the same reason you don't have a good guy character calling Paul Heyman a kike. AJ calling someone a faggot isn't "shades of gray" it's normalizing and reinforcing homophobia.
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt that Meltzer receive that info from a contact--That contact could be wrong/full of shit however
ReplyDelete....which is why? Guys totally lost on this. Why can't this guy say whatever he wants as long as he's willing to take responsibility for his words? So far all I'm getting out of this is "Because he might offend someone" to which my answer is so what?
ReplyDeleteNo no Jobber, you don't get to get pissed at internet crusaders out one side of your mouth and crusade for pot smokers out the other--and I AGREE that pot should be legalized
ReplyDeleteI bet Dave has a huge peckah
ReplyDeleteHe probably did but the guy above me is using a feeble argument. Hell, I don't agree with every single Meltzer says but I do believe that he is using sources and not speculating to get hits to a website, like the guy above me claims. Hell, it wasn't even a lead story in the Newsletter, just a paragraph in the WWE section.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't this guy say whatever he wants as long as he's willing to take responsibility for his words?
ReplyDeleteHe can--and taking responsibility is understanding it will color some people's opinion of him--It's the same thing I said about Jay Briscoe--he has the right to say whatever he wants and I have the right to judge him for it and pressure TNA to feature him less. That's how free speech works, thus it's in his best interest to keep his mouth shut. plus being a bigot makes him a shitty human being which makes him a shitty face
OK, not sure why I should care that he's a homophobe...I don't hang around with him and I'm sure most gay people don't either. So...what's the problem?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm pretty sure homophobia is a far more complex issue that is not reinforced by "bad words" Its that kind of simplistic mindset that allows homophobia to continue. "Well, we're not saying faggot so we've solved the problem." Its absurd.
Is this some sort of Opie and Anthony thing?
ReplyDeleteFor Mania why not just give us:
ReplyDeleteUndertaker vs Cena
Austin vs Punk
HHH vs Bryan, (HHH turns heel at some point)
We would all order that right?
Oh yeah, I'm with you--it's not a mass conspiracy by Meltzer, I'm just saying he's not known for checking his sources for credibility
ReplyDeleteIt's not about the word--It's about how he feels, which is CONVEYED through the word
ReplyDelete"thus it's in his best interest to keep his mouth shut"
ReplyDeleteThis is the true agenda of you people, by the way. It's the reason you have dishonest politicians and there's no serious intellectual discussion shown publicly.
If HHH taps to a crossface like submission in the centre of the ring again...Damn that'd be awesome
ReplyDeleteYou're not him so don't speak for him.
ReplyDeleteBecause I don't want to support someone who has a homophobic attitude.
ReplyDeleteIt absolutely is reinforced by normalizing and encouraging casual homophobia. Does not saying faggot solve homophobia? Of course not! But it's part of solving it.
"Does not saying faggot solve homophobia? Of course not! But it's part of solving it."
ReplyDeleteHell of a job you're doing.
Yes, that's it. That's why things are bad. Because there's a financial penalty for being an outward bigot.
ReplyDelete"you people"
ReplyDeleteOh please wise one, tell me who "you people" are. Please tell me who I am person who doesn't even know me. The politicians thing is a red hearing, if their not being honest is in this exact scenario he's not being honest because people wouldn't vote for a homophobe, so you know how democracy is supposed to work--if he's honest he's not re-elected, if we say be honest then we will re-elect you no-matter what you say, then what's the fucking point of democracy.
I liked 28...
ReplyDelete"You people" = butthurt crybabies that plague society.
ReplyDelete"The politicians thing is a red hearing, if their not being honest is in this exact scenario he's not being honest because people wouldn't vote for a homophobe, so you know how democracy is supposed to work--if he's honest he's not re-elected, if we say be honest then we will re-elect you no-matter what you say, then what's the fucking point of democracy."
First, it's a red herring. Second, that the worst looking sentence I've ever had the displeasure of trying to read. Fix it.
I'm not, I'm letting the people who know him--and have said he's a homophobe, speak for him. Styles is a dick. I'm not even suggesting he be de-pushed, the world's full of assholes, but I have the right to believe he is one
ReplyDeleteRight...and who cares what the guy who you don't know, never will know and don't hang around with feels? Why do you feel the need to control him? Is it a power trip?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteOh sorry, I answered for him. Well, he's used to doing that.
Precisely! So what's the problem?
ReplyDeleteYou just said that the words he uses accurately illustrates to you how he feels. Don't backpedal.
ReplyDeleteThe WM25 snoozefest was supposed to be his make-up moment for WM18 falling so flat. Of course, the same thing happened the second time around as the first time.
ReplyDelete-Austin Vs HHH would make no sense on any level. Why would you bring back Austin for a rehash match when the Punk match is the blatantly obvious way to go?
ReplyDelete-Eric in charge now. And NEW TNA Champion...Garrett Bischoff!
-The only thing I'd care about in AJ's book is his issues with Punk.
-Another great DVD from WWE.
Clearly, having opinions on people that you don't agree with makes him a shitty human being. Of course. Because people are not more complex than that.
ReplyDeleteapples/oranges?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the red herring typo, I fixed it
ReplyDeleteI'm not a butthurt crybaby--I often call for people to develop a thicker skin and discuss things, but It's much easier to avoid difficult debates if you can just paint the opposing side as ALL being crybabies isn't it. Ignorance is what plagues society, and I've found many people who speak of the "butt hurt" are the most ignorant people you'll meet. That said, I don't know you, and thus I will not claim to know how informed you are about what's going on in this world around us.
....you really don't see the irony between going on a rant about "you people" and generalizing that Mr. Styles is a "shitty human being" do you?
ReplyDeleteBingo, there it is. If that difference of opinion is whether another group of people deserves the same respect and rights, then yes--it makes you a shitty human being.
ReplyDeleteHe is one hell of a pro wrestler though, I can separate the two and tell you that he is one of the best in the world.
If Austin comes back, it's for one opponent, and one opponent only. And it ain't gonna be fuckin' Trips.
ReplyDelete"I'm not a butthurt crybaby--I often call for people to develop a thicker skin and discuss things"
ReplyDeleteSounds like it.
"but It's much easier to avoid difficult debates if you can just paint the opposing side as ALL being crybabies isn't it"
He accuses...
"Ignorance is what plagues society, and I've found many people who speak of the "butt hurt" are the most ignorant people you'll meet."
...And repeats!
"That said, I don't know you, and thus I will not claim to know how informed you are about what's going on in this world around us."
I do know you. You're a clone of many people I've talked to and lack individuality.
So let me get this straight, Austin hasn't wrestled in 10 years and you ask him to come back at WM 30 as a HEEL and face off against HHH. Yeah, that makes sense with his popularity and teaming up with Vince. This fuckin' company I swear...........
ReplyDeleteThe Power Trip EXPLODES
ReplyDeleteYou often step up and white night for the disenfranchised drug users Jobber
ReplyDelete"But I will about AJ Styles and him saying faggot!"
ReplyDeletePlease pick a stance. And stop trying to control people. Its a shitty thing to do, far shittier than saying words you don't like.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-wx0imXCE0
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Was Chris Sabin being a faggot there?
HHH himself thought it was second fiddle. He and Jericho argued that they shouldn't be following Hogan-Rock even before Wrestlemania.
ReplyDeleteHelp me out Dan, are you a homophobe, cause otherwise I don't see how you can think my not liking AJ Styles stance on it=I want to control him.
ReplyDeleteLet's be frank. So far you have displayed that you have zero understanding of what a shitty human being is. This is clearly a control and power issue for you, which is a worse character trait than saying words you don't like.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think the only program that'll happen is Austin v. Punk. If you listen to the Austin Podcast he's talking about training and not quite being done in the rasslin' business.
ReplyDeleteOr HHH turns heel at some point during the year, but I really can't see that happening.
ReplyDeleteThey do. He's used those words as Allen Jones, he's admitted he's a homophobe.
ReplyDeleteVince and HHH are going to be re-aligned at some point. HHH pushing Vince out of power certainly sounds like a hellish thing to do.
ReplyDeleteWhen has he been forced to take responsibility for his words? Just curious. Since you're big on proving intent and stuff.
ReplyDeleteIs your world that black and white? What does it matter how I feel about homosexuals (which will remain a mystery because it is irrelevant.) Sociologically speaking we are actually all homophobes in so far that we live and benefit from a homophobic mentality. The issue is this: why do you care what a guy you don't know and who doesn't impact your life or the lives of anyone you can think of, says or feels? If you answer that you care, than the issue clearly becomes a control issue because you want to control what he says and feels.
ReplyDeleteI could easily see huntor bringing back Austin just to job and put over hhh as being the greatest. Did anyone want to see a year long program between lesnar and hhh?
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I'm hearing about this, but good. I didn't want to see Austin jobbing to Triple H again anyway.
ReplyDeleteOh please, you sound like the same sort of obnoxious "I'm-just-a-straight-shooter-tell-it-like-it-is-politically-incorrect" clone that always pops up. They're the most thin-skinned people and can't abide having the judgement turned back on them. Congrats! You sound like Opie and Anthony, Jim Norton, and a lot of people who can't read!
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't been. Because no one cares and it is not a big deal. He is just a pro wrestler, which places him somewhere between a brick and a McDonalds fry cook on the intellectual and cultural scale. Who gives a shit what he says or feels?
ReplyDeleteBecause I was a wrestling show he's on and don't want to monetarily support someone who has that belief system? It's the same reason I won't buy Briscoe Brothers merch or DVDs. You can feel free to, you might not be bothered by it, you might be able to put it out of your head (I'm able to watch Benoit matches, I know some people aren't). My point is that to gaslight and act like choosing to not support homophobia is somehow bad is ignorant.
ReplyDelete"Sociologically speaking we are actually all homophobes in so far that we live and benefit from a homophobic mentality."
ReplyDeleteCould you please explain this to me, cause I have no idea what your talking about.
What a shitty biography that's going to be. So being an Indy worker that never made it is going to fill a whole book? Who gives a shit
ReplyDeleteI'm curious. Does that mean the Eagles shouldn't give a shit about what Riley Cooper said, right?
ReplyDeleteBrace for someone to miss what you're saying and say you're suggesting double murder suicide is less bad then homophobia (which isn't what you're saying--watching a Benoit match doesn't propagate Murder--he's dead)
ReplyDeleteWe're not exactly talking about AJ here, if you haven't picked up on that. It's more about people in general using words that some people don't feel comfortable with hearing.
ReplyDeleteIf AJ particularly actually said "I hate gay people", I'm not the one to defend his ideology. I will defend his unalienable right to actually fucking say it without repercussions that are mob-like, and to a greater extent anybody who says "mean things" and has to deal with threats from special interest groups to sponsors in an effort to boycott.
TGGI.
ReplyDeleteYes, but apparently AJ was being a bigger one because Sabin got cheered.
ReplyDeleteIt was on Jericho's DVD.
ReplyDeleteHilarious. You can watch and enjoy the performances of a wife and child murderer, but you won't watch the Briscoes.
ReplyDeleteIn a nutshell...
If a tree falls in TNA and no one hears it does the rating break a 1.0?
ReplyDeleteYes, he should brace himself. What he said is profoundly revealing, and you saying "Oh, I guess someone's going to say you think murder isn't as bad as homophobia" doesn't negate it.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure? Sociologically speaking, straight men would actually benefit from embracing homosexuality as an alternative for others because it would lower the number of potential rivals for available females. Based on breeding patterns for most species, the alpha figures typically tries to find ways to minimize or reduce his competition anyway.
ReplyDeleteComment of the day
ReplyDeleteIf he won't WATCH the Briscoes, then I agree it's odd--If he won't pay for Briscoes merchandise to put it in their pocket then it's not the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI watch ROH with the Briscoes or a show with Styles on it, but I'm not their personal fans and don't want to buy their DVD's.
Benoit matches are just kinda there for me personally, I don't feel ill but I certainly don't want to route for the bastard either
Exactly, which is why his comment confuses me
ReplyDeleteOh, I can watch the Briscoes, I just won't buy their merch. I can watch TNA and not buy his stuff.
ReplyDelete0.8!
ReplyDeleteSo you're fine with infringing on the rights of free speech of other people? Because that's what you're saying.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a hard-on for Opie & Anthony, Jim Norton, Nick DiPaolo and Triple H. If you could help yourself and not talk about them ever again, you wouldn't contribute anything ever again and my eyeballs would be better off.
ReplyDeleteAnd, wait a minute... I tell it like it is and I'm politically incorrect? Why, thanks! I try. I hate people who aren't like me. They're dishonest.
*Root
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I didn't say.
ReplyDeleteMotherfucker!
ReplyDeleteThank you, It has been fixed
No, you think you're that way. Politically incorrect is an outdated insult that only exists as a codeword for "I can't openly be a bigot anymore". A lack of tact doesn't make you honest, it makes you inconsiderate.
ReplyDeleteIve used the word faggot many times and I marched in a gay rally once, to support the ban of prop 8. Jerry Sandusky oversaw a guidebook of PC phrases for his football team in 1997 and was a proponent of sensitivity training...while he was jizzing on kids. Whose the worse person?
ReplyDeleteI'm a staunch supporter of gay rights, but people who want to destroy someone because they used a word they don't like, or thought police the world scare the shit out of me
ReplyDeletewill defend his unalienable right to actually fucking say it without
ReplyDeleterepercussions that are mob-like, and to a greater extent anybody who
says "mean things" and has to deal with threats from special interest
groups to sponsors in an effort to boycott.
"Mean things" is nebulous, and I'd probably agree with you on some stuff that you think people are too sensitive about. But as long as it is individuals and not the government (I stopped eating at Chick Fil A in 2011 because I didn't want to support a company that supports hate groups, but I had a very real problem with the mayors of Chicago and San Francisco trying to ban them) that's part of freedom of speech. You want people to be free from being held accountable for what they say.
To be clear, I feel like Shougie and I's argument's are getting blurred and there is a difference. I don't think using the word Faggot makes him a bad person, and everyone who says it is a homophobe--I'm saying that in this case he IS a bigot and IS a douche. I think the word isn't needed, but you're not a shitty human for using it. Can we all go back to being friends, I miss my wrestling blog (and I accept that I'm as responsible as anyone for this blowing out of control)
ReplyDeleteSandusky is a bigger douche
I am inconsiderate of how you feel. However, politically incorrect in its purest definition would describe words of someone who doesn't care about whom he offends, not bigotry. You just equate anyone who says something unkind as a bigot.
ReplyDeleteIf that unkind thing is racist, sexist, or homophobic it is bigoted
ReplyDeleteI'd almost be OK with it if we actually got Heel Austin again. Sorry, but Austin will always be much more entertaining to me as a heel. LOVE his 2001 character.
ReplyDeleteAnd what makes words those things is the intent behind them, not the words themselves.
ReplyDeleteyou are a moron. might as well call some folks nigger too, after all we should be tolerant of bigots, right?
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be a Latino WWE character if he didn't point out that he is, indeed, from Latin America.
ReplyDeleteum not supporting a bigot?
ReplyDeleteeither you really are this stupid or trolling. Not sure yet.
ReplyDeleteI actually would love to see HHH-Rock one last time, with Rock finally getting a clean one-on-one win without needing Steve Austin to save his ass.
ReplyDeletePlus they had insane chemistry.
I get that, It got heated and there's like 4 conversations going at once. It's not saying the word that makes him deserve some scorn, It's meaning it and being a bigot--He has every right to say and think what he wants just like I have the right to say and think I don't like it--that's all. I still LIKE AJ Styles matches for Christ sake.
ReplyDeleteYou're still not contradicting anything I've said.
ReplyDeleteWhy is in-ring dialogue a bad thing? I think it adds to the drama. Shawn did it all the time. So did Flair.
ReplyDelete28 was a damn fine match.
ReplyDeleteWe're BoD buddies for sure and I'm just half fucking around because my only other option is to work!
ReplyDeletesomeone having the right to say what they want, no matter how bigoted is quite different from supporting that person. Styles has the right to be a bigot. I have the right to not only not purchase products with him involved, but also advocate his termination. Free speech cuts both ways. You have the right to free speech but you don't have the right to free speech without consequences. It's like Chik-Fil-A. The guy can donate to who he wants and say what he wants but the consequences are that some will boycott his restaurants (and some actually supported his homophobic causes and went out of their way to go to his establishments as well).
ReplyDeleteI think it adds a lot...in moderation. And my personal preference is when it feels spontaneous, rather than, "Ok, this is the point in the match where Taker's down and I'm gonna say x, y and z to him".
ReplyDeleteSee, I think AJ Styles is a douche for being a boring person.
ReplyDeleteHANDSHAKE~!
When did he call someone a faggot on national TV?
ReplyDeleteI think he's commenting on how that match went from things people say during a fight to fully scripted movie with choreography based entirely around it. I actually thought Age in a Cage was alright, but there is a difference between usual in ring dialog and that match.
ReplyDeletei don't think anyone is arguing he can't say what he wants. Shough said he wouldn't support the book. Not the same as saying Styles has no right to say what he wants.
ReplyDeleteExcept that mob is illustrating THEIR free speech
ReplyDeleteI do love Austin as a heel but I'm thinking in terms of buys and money. Casual fans and Attitude era fans who hear Austin is wrestling at XXX want to see Austin whip somebody's ass a face. I want Punk/Austin or Austin/Cena or hell Austin/Brock.
ReplyDeleteThey will never, EVER convince the fans to boo Austin.
ReplyDeleteThat's fine, but I'd opine that the act of boycotting is more egregious than voicing an opinion.
ReplyDeleteIf people don't like something, they should fuck off and let the people who do to enjoy it. AJ doesn't run into gay bars and yell "knock it off, faggots!" as far as I know.
red herring. first off not using faggot is far from just being "PC" It is akin to not using nigger. It's an offensive term to the gay community. 2nd Sandusky's views on language have nothing to do with his conviction. There are plenty of vocal anti-gay pastors who have later been busted for having gay sex. There are people on both sides of the aisle that do bad things while also doing good things. No one is arguing Styles is worse than a child molester. However plenty of folks arguing that he doesn't deserve our support for being a homophobe. Not only does he use crude and offensive language, he also is on record as being against gays.
ReplyDeleteand you've displayed an awe-inspiring lack of intelligence. Congratulations
ReplyDeleteThey're allowed to. I just think that people who get together and threaten sponsors are pieces of shit and the majority of them didn't like the product in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anybody less likable than a member of a special interest group.
Crowds booed the hell out of him in summer 2001. Just watch Summerslam, Unforgiven, KOTR or even No Mercy.
ReplyDeleteYes, in 2001, which was 12 years ago--he has permanent legend status now--It'll be like "heel" Hogan at WM 18
ReplyDeleteRoflol
ReplyDeleteso everyone should not worry about anyone else's views? Hmm, nothing would ever change. I'm white. slavery wouldn't have impacted me, why should I care? Women being abused in Afghanistan, Africa, etc? Not my problem right?
ReplyDeleteNice world you live in.
Yeah, all those people with a special interest who gathered around to hear about Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream were total assholes
ReplyDeleteRemember you cannot have Triple H in a compromising position.
ReplyDeletethat's exactly what these guys are. they think being anti-PC (which they don't even understand) makes them cool. They are the same people who call themselves libertarians without even understanding what it means other than not wanting to pay taxes and being able to smoke pot.
ReplyDeleteThat's fair.
ReplyDeletehmm, word twisting is quite the skill
ReplyDeleteDon't compare MLK to some fat cunt who wants to boycott Pepsi. You wouldn't want to disservice his good name, would you?
ReplyDeleteI really, really, REALLY miss the days when a face who has never won the world title or never had a proper run with it as a face starts getting hot in the fall, possibly wins the Royal Rumble, and challenges for (/ most likely wins) the strap at Wrestlemania.

I get that we're in the era now of the big name superfight, and those fights draw money, but finally reaching the title in a main event of wrestlemania can cement you as a top guy, which makes mony in the long term for the company.
To me, the HHH / Lesnar's and Rock / Hogan's and Mayweather / Big Show's should always be just a pinch after the middle of the card, and the WWE championship match should hands down, always go on last, with the aforementioned scenario.
Good point.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteGeez that word sure rolls off your tounge real easy!
ReplyDeleteoh good lord. yeah, we should never try and change anything. You know like civil rights, gay rights, women's rights, etc. Nope just ignore it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not, but you just called all special interest group members unlikeable. The people fighting for equal rights for Women in the Middle East are hardly "fat cunts who wants to boycott Pepsi."
ReplyDeleteWhat's more impressive is that I can diffuse others' arguments and reveal their lack of content in their empty, regurgitated words. Anything else?
ReplyDeleteexcept people using a shock jock gimmick, on a wrestling message board
ReplyDeleteYou may have done it on purpose, but you missed '04 Benoit
ReplyDeletehmm, missing a point there aren't ya
ReplyDeleteSave your rage, Jobber's just fucking around cause he's bored--I wouldn't put to much stock in his "calling" you on that
ReplyDelete411 says that hhh was slated to turn heel at some point before the match, s austin/vince would be the faces
