So, I'm too lazy to go through this whole thread and see who else has torn this asswipe to pieces. I'ma just help myself here to a slice o' dat ass...
So heels feel disrespected and want to sue the company? How is HHH "running wild" any different than Vince running wild on the faces aka Rock, Austin, UT, Foley etc etc etc.
The immediate difference that jumps to my mind is that Vince then was being pushed as the big baddy, while HHH has been painted as being sympathetic and face-like. This is an error you base the rest of your arguments and opinions on. For someone who's supposed to be some crusty old timer student of the game, you're sitting down to play with a few cards short of a full deck.
This would be like Dusty Rhodes sueing the Horsemen for jumping him in the dressing room, or the entire WCW roster sueing the nWo for unsafe workplace.
With the exception of both times you'd be asking faces to do a rather heel-ish move. Tsk, tsk, silly, I thought you said you knew your shit? Heel Jericho in WCW used legal loopholes and such devices to get what he wanted along with a nice big bag of heat. Ron Killings did the same in NWA:TNA. No, it wouldn't be like your examples; it would actually be like if the opposite of your given examples were true instead.
This is truly moronic. It makes guys look like complete *****es in a sport that suppose to be about hardasses. Complete ignorance. The real travesty is you hardcore new school fans will defend this because this is the type of crap you've been force fed to accept as "wrestling"
Oh fuckin' Jesus. Get off your soap box old man; nobody gives a shit. Most people who watch today watch because they like it. If anyone here is acting like a brainwashed dipshit it's you and people like you; people who clearly hate the product for what it is but just can't stop.
Really? so this doesn't just basically ruin the sport by heels sueing a guy for them being cheated?
Seems like the heel thing to do.
Like I said, if any of Ric Flairs opponents sued him for cheating, that wouldn't taint the conception?
Again, you're mixing faces and heels here; I'd certainly buy an angle in which Flair and his cronies were given what they had coming and their big get-back was a lawsuit. No worse than Black Scorpion, that's for sure. This as an angle won't work very often, but I can't recall something like this going down any time recently so it feels fresh and new and difficult to predict, or at least more so than most wrestling angles.
This just opens the door to crap. This means every time a heel loses, they can file a lawsuit. Horrible.
Well, maybe you're missing your meds or something Old Man, because it wasn't just because some guys lost. The participants all had other issues than just losses. And no, this is wrestling, not an actual court of law; I doubt there is going to be some sort of precedent set with this that will be repeated beyond this angle any time soon. You're taking this all waaaaay too seriously.
So by your argument since Vince was boss your telling me that the entire locker room could't get together and sue him for any reason? Bret Hart couldn't sue him for discrimination for being Canadien?
Again, you're missing the point. First of all, Vince was heel, so the lawsuit angle wouldn't really work for anyone he was fucking over. And secondly, HHH played the "back in my day..." card to demonstrate how even back then guys like heel Hart took care of things with fisticuffs before most anything else. Finally: Canadien? LULZ.
It makes no sense. Now heels have the power to band together and file lawsuits? So in a year or two or three when a "face" is in charge, this will mean the heels can just get together and sue? It weakens the perception. Horrible.
Um, a face is in charge right now. And this will likely all be resolved by Survivor Series, the perfect kind of blow off PPV for a locker room splitting angle like this. Again, you're taking this waaay too seriously and you're just looking for impractical things to get butt hurt about instead of just taking it as a story and seeing what happens next. Don't you think these are the kind of things that will be addressed by the time the angle is done?
Look at the name dumbass..I was watching wrestling when your parents were popping pimples.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're so tough and old and shit Mr. "I was rubbing off to Terry Funk's knees while you're parents were out getting laid".
The fact that you named storylines like those proves my point. i was watching classics like Race vs Funk for the title in 77. You know when in ring storytelling was important unlike the spotfest crap we have today.
Go back to watching tapes of the old shit then. Seriously. You have no room to call anything ignorant. You clearly don't like the direction the industry has taken for the last 15 years and instead of maybe moving on and accepting that it's not for you anymore you're going to talk shit online as if liking old shit exclusively makes you anymore hardcore or valid than anyone else. Puh-fucking-lease dude.
And how does any of this bullshit "prove your point"? Ok, so you're a piece of shit who's been watching wrestling since God knows when; what does that prove exactly? Oh, that's right: NOTHING AT ALL. It's a fucking show. You've got your rights to an opinion and I've my rights to tell you how stupid and narrow those opinions are, especially when the basis of your arguments and your attitude revolve around your age or your experience somehow making your opinion more valid than anyone else's. You're a bitter old piece of shit who's just grumpy that time and the wrestling industry both passed you by a long long time ago.
I'll just go back to your "old school" section where you guys talk about Starrcade 98. WOW. Thats truly old school. *sarcasm*
Or you could just leave. Yeah. Just leave. I think it's for the best.
