When he came out I was like, "Huh, that looks pretty good, what's the big fuss?" And then I got really upset when he held the sword above his head...

I wonder how Vince would react to realizing that how much happier AEW wrestlers seem to be? Would it just be utter revulsion, confusion, or would he declare mandatory happiness backstage?

last night i had a dream that vince came up with the idea that fans coming to shows would be confused by the lack of camera cuts and shaking when they were watching the show live in person, so he installed a thing to make all the seats shake when the cameras did, and blinked all the lights off and on every time there was a camera cut. there were many lawsuits about it and he won all of them

seconds before forgetting, he would say that it's impossible to be true, and fire the person who told him even if they do not work at wwe

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



why do that when they did this already

The only one who didn’t do anything.

Pat got tossed in because he was gay and some may not remember in the late 80s/90s and even now that being gay meant child molester.

tom cole was one of the ring boys at age 13. 9 years later he made the claim that patterson would touch them and make sexual gestures toward them. Don't know if he was later outed as lying? I didn't see anything like that

they're one of those anime-type things where they dance but also just beat the ever loving poo poo out of people while dancing? I'm cool with that.

From what I've gathered over the years, and of course Bix or MRT can correct me, that "he was targeted because he was gay" was a convenient excuse to rehire him. Also, Mel Phillips was rehired, so it's not like they actually gave a poo poo. And they continue to treat LGBTQ employees like garbage to this day, so I doubt they were champions of the movement back in the 80s other than trying to save Patterson's rear end.

It’s the WWE...they treat everyone except a few too people like poo poo.

Also if you don’t think the fact Pat was gay was enough of a reason for him being accused and having to be “preventively fired” I think you forget that being gay alone was pretty much an acceptable and legal reason to fire people in the 80s/90s.

I'm well aware of what it was like for LGBTQ people in the 80s, I'm not that young and my cousin was murdered for making the mistake of hitting on a guy in a bar and all he got was an involuntary manslaughter charge because "What was he supposed to do when some guy starts flirting with him? He just snapped!"

Is the word you're looking for preemptively? Because I get why it worked out the way it did, but since then, if I'm not mistaken, there have been stories that insinuated that it was a convenient excuse. Which is probably why I said "Someone else could correct me on this" but don't let that stop you.

Preemptive probably is a more accurate choice. I feel like Meltzer once said it wasn’t true and it was more he was gay. Of course I can’t find the source.

Also I should say that even though it was a direct quote response it was meant as a more of a general response just because I think people sometimes forget just how different society was in the early Simpsons seasons vs now (odd measuring stick I admit, but I was just thinking just how long the show was on).

He'll see the BTE stuff, decide to do the WWE version to show up AEW, then script the thing so heavily that everyone can tell how miserable the wrestlers are performing it.
