Slavertickler, this has gone on long enough. LEARN HOW TO SPELL!!!!! You are trying to ridicule people and your spelling skills are atrocious. C'mon on man, if you are going to try and clown people, make sure you know how to SPELL. I told you before, hire a local 3 year old to write for you. I can understand if English isn't your first language, but you have never indicated that it wasn't. Pathetic man. You're going to try and insult people, yet you have the spelling skills of a cinderblock. A spelling mistake here or there is okay, but you seem to have more words spelled wrong than you do right. Man up for once and get someone else to write for you.
Hey don't get mad at me, I gave that 5 year old $10.oo like you said last time.

Now on to business. You constantly prove to everyone just how "blind" your arguments are. I never said Bret wasn't a "legend". I said his legacy is not as big as Hogan and the only place he seems to be put on a pedestal is Canada. I don't hear a bunch of Japanese fans crying about the Screwjob. I don't hear a bunch of European fans chanting "You screwed Bret!". I hear it from CANADIEN fans. Why else would I make references to Canada? Goodness man, get a clue.
And I never said Bret was as bigger a legend as Hogan. I simply said he is a legend in the business beyond his own borders. Just because fan's outside of Canada aren't chanting about the screw job (and can you be sure that wasn't editing at one time?). For the record it is spelled C-a-n-a-d-i-a-n.

It's funny how you said Vince "turned" to the little Canadien guy after the steroid scandal. Gee, who else is he going to turn to? Hogan was gone. Warrior was a mess. He gave Bret a shot at glory. Also you seem to have selective memory. When Bret Hart was the #1 guy, the WWE almost went out of business. The Hart years were the "filler" period between Hulkamania and Austin 3:16. I wasn't even watching wrestling that much. You act like Bret carried WWE like a Hogan or an Austin. He didn't. That's Bret Hart's legacy in my eyes. He was a "filler" between the two dominant eras.
Of course Bret was treated like filler, he's not an American. When have you ever know Vince to give a real true push to a None American wrestler. Hogan, Backlund, and Bruno Samartino were all American's (Bruno might have been born in Italy, but he was American). Why is it do you think that Benoit (born in Montréal, raised in Edmonton) and Chris "Jericho" Irvine (Winnipeg Manitoba) were announced at being from Atlanta (Benoit) and NY (Jericho) because they are baby faces who were over big. Meanwhile Edge and Christian, who reside in Florida, are announced as being from Toronto, because they are BAD GUYs. Why is this you might add, could it be that Vince think the WWE's American fan base has a bias against None American performers. The fact that Bret was able to be the top dog in the company (and it didn't hit the shits till after Shawn won the title at Mania 13, and I can back that up) while not changing where he was from, and still staying a fan favorite in the US.

How much in the dark are you with the entertainment industry? You act like Vince McMahon is the only guy out there who every once in a while "screws" his workers and tries to make money off of them. Dammit, the same can be sad about professional sports franchises. From NFL to Hockey, owners have tossed aside their "employees" after they made money from them and can no longer perform. Is it right? No. Is it the nature of the beast? Yes. Does it happen with every single performer? NO. Vince is a businessman. There will be times where he does something unethical, but there will also be times where he is the "caring" businessman. Why you expect Vince to be the great saint is beyond me.
Thank you for using the lamest and oldest bull shit excuse of all time. "Everybody else is doing it.". Being unethical is never cool, unless you're a pimp. Are you a pimp PT, is that why you seem to be "OK" with everything Vince does? By the term "caring" I assume you mean stuff like putting Brian Pilman's widow on TV, or giving Vikki Guerrero a job so he can further squeeze a few bucks put of Eddie's name. If he was so caring why didn't he just send them some money. Every thing Vince does is about making money, moral people don't spend their lives that way.

So you want to blame Vince for Owen's death? Fine. I blame your parents for having a child that can't spell to save his life and has this crazy obssession with a man who has never done anything wrong personally to him. I blame your parents for allowing you to run amuck with views that make no sense. I blame your parents for not making sure your teachers were teaching you on spelling and logic. Ridiculous right? Of course it is ridiculous to blame your parents because your failings are YOUR OWN FAULT. Owen's death was a tragedy. It was an accident. It wasn't done on purpose and to hold a man responsible for the accident, as though he did it on purpose is completely insane. That's how you portray Vince. You portray him as though he wanted Owen to die. You portray him as he spent all his energy figuring out a way to kill a man. You are truly warped.
I never said it was on purpose, you don't have to do something on purpose to be responsible for it. Vince was negligent in making sure Owen's safety was taken care of. In fact the Hart family (Stu, Helen and daughter in-law Martha) were suing Vince for Negligence. The WWE legal beagles were so terrified that they tried to play a scam that all law suits against the WWF (well then it was) had to be tried in it's home state of Conneticut, were no punitive damages would have been paid. They were also going to counter sue Owen's widow for over $70,000 plus coast. The only reason they settles out of court was because Bret's sisters (Ellie Niedhart, and Diana Smith)betrayed her own parents and faxed a file's worth of information to McMahon's office. They thought if they did this they could get their husbands work.
By the way, if you get a woman pregnant by accident does that mean you don't think you should be held accountable. I'm just wondering, because that might explain a few things.

As for the tribute show. You mean to tell me that Vince should have just put up a graphic announcing Benoit's death? Did you ever stop and think that Vince did the tribute show because his "employees" were stunned, saddened and in utter shock hearing about Benoit's death? Benoit was a hard worker and gave 100% to perform for Vince. He had many friends in the company and because they don't have all the details, he doesn't get a tribute show? Had the death occurred after Monday, Vince would have time to prepare. It's Sunday/Monday when he heard the news, WHAT ELSE WAS HE SUPPOSED TO DO? You still haven't answered that. What was Vince supposed to do?
He didn't have to do anything. It wasn't a live RAW that week, so he could have just shown the tapes show with the "In Memorial off" graphic like you mention, and then held off on anything major until more of the fact came in. In the locker room Benoit didn't have allot of friends, no wrestler has allot of friends in the business. Most of the time you are trying to make sure most of the guys aren't fucking you over with politics. In truth I don't think Benoit had to many real friends in that locker room after Eddie died.
[/QUOTE=primetime]I guess the tribute shows for Eddie Guerrero was also in bad taste according to your logic. Man, you are truly a fool for believing Vince did a tribute show for pure money reasons, instead of paying tribute to a hard working employee. But if that was the case, it kills your logic about Vince being truly evil to the core. When Vince did get more information, he did what he needed to do, like any smart businessman would.[/QUOTE]
Yep, dragging a bunch of mourning wrestlers in front of a camera and having them cry like babies for the viewers sure was in bad taste. You are a fool for thinking Vince didn't do those tribute shows for money. In fact I understand he mocked the entire tribute show by having one of his own when he did the fake death angle, and had all the wrestler make their comments about him, thus showing how illagit most of them were with their comments about their "Brothers" who had passed away for real. How do you take anything they say in that situation to heart when it is obviously so easy for them to fake it.
Ironically Bret himself said it would have been much better to show Owen's matches' as a tribute rather then have the wrestler talking about him on camera. I know what Bret thinks doesn't matter much to you, and why should it, after all it was just his brother.

Tell me this. Name another big time wrestling promoter who is truly a "saint", cares for his employees and has never screwed over a performer. NAME ONE. You can't. All wrestling promoters are guilty of "hazardous working environments", "screwing" empolyees time to time, and trying to make money. You just hate McMahon and can't see any other logic. Besides myself, everyone else who disagrees with you have acknowledged that Vince is definitely not a saint, but he is a businessman of a major corporation. You have no idea what goes on in the entertainment industry do you? Learn this before you decide to be a booker.
I don't have to, but I will say this. When people worked for Turner they had medical and dental coverage. They didn't have to work half as many shows, and nobody ever died come down on a wire during a PPV in KC. They also made a hell of allot more money, and the Cruiser Weight Division (at one point) was booked a hell of alot better.

Back to Canada vs United States. What's the best way to piss off fans? You have to do something pretty bad for them to go against you. You had Sgt. Slaughter becoming an Iraqi "sympathizer" during the first Persian Gulf war. You had him disrespecting the United States and our soldiers. Guess what? It worked. It got fans to hate him, even give him death threats. Slaughter did his job, much like HBK did his. You do whatever it takes for fans to hate you. Plus, that was also during the beginning of the DX days, who were supposed to do sophomoric pranks like what HBK was doing. That's what the character was supposed to do.
Vince also asked Slaughter to burn the American flag on TV and he refused to. So obviously Shawn didn't have to stick the flag up his nose, or lay it out on the mat and hump it. He could have hung it up-side down like the Un-American's did during their time in the WWF (or your Baseball League did when the Jay's won the world series).

No, "Mr. McMahon" was created during the Austin days. Vince was a "heel" promoter after the screw job, but the actual character was when Austin stunned McMahon after he won the title. McMahon tried to get Austin to "comform" to his standards and Austin did his role. The more he did it, the more "evil" McMahon got. McMahon pretty much did what Eric Bischoff was doing, being the evil owner. Go back, watch the tapes again. Vince wasn't doing his "strut" after the Hart incident, it was with Austin.
The is what they call "Character Development" that doesn't change the fact that it sprang from what happened in Montréal.

That's good if you think you could be a good booker. You actually would be horrendous. You have no clue on how the entertainment industry works. You have no clue on how performers are SUPPOSED to perform in order to draw heat/cheers. Much like any corporation, there will be politics. Is it ethical? Of course not, but it happens a lot in the corporate world. You would get laughed out of the building.
Getting laughed out of the corporate world would be as match an honor a knowing you don't like me. I thank you for that. I know more about how it is suppose to work then you could ever imagine. I know that the world champ should be a guy who can comunicate with the audience both in and out of the ring (not unlike Y2J who is now the best in the business over all). I know that if you have guys who aren't good talkers but are good in the ring you stick them with a mouth piece (why is Arn Anderson stuck in the back anyway?) If a guy is a strong talker but not the best wrestler you try to hide his short coming's in the ring and build on his character outside the ring. Did you know at one time Hunter and HBK were booker with Brisco, and tried to ruin the Rock, yep, they tried to fuck him over big. Once they told Bret they wanted him to beat Rock for the IC title, but Bret said he didn't see the point in it, the IC title wouldn't help him, and hindering the Rock wouldn't do anybody any good. That was when he was DQed for the Figure 4 around the ring post.

Vince brings up the Screwjob because people like you have never let it go. Remember when HBK even told the Canadien crowd to get over it. If Canadiens did get over it and wasn't chanting "You screwed Bret" all the damn time, it would make no sense for Vince to do it. Fans help McMahon determine what to do on a show. If you had any knowledge, you would know that. Fans can help make a heel a face and vice versa. I thought this would be obvious to you, but I guess not.
If fan's help determine what happens on the show, why doesn't he hear the "YOU SUCK" chants when Cena (who is supposed to be a baby face) is in the ring. Why does he keep Mark Henry around when nobody even react to him 90% of the time. Why does he berry CM Punk and fuck around with ECW so much. Why did he ruin the Invasion angle that could have made him 100 times more money just by letting the WCW guys have one of the 2 TV shows (thus legitimizing the Brand Extension some what). Nope sorry McMahon is interested in hurting and humiliating people. Instead of using those guys well he berried them just for spite, because they kicked his ass for 84 weeks.

People like you huh? Your family doesn't count. You can express your opinions all you like, but as long as you keep making an ass out of yourself and insulting people who like the WWE and enjoy it, you better believe I will be there to ridicule you.
And as long as I know I can get a reaction out of you I will continue to shit all over you life partner Vince McMahon.

(See I know how to book a heel)
