This is why WWE can't be edgy anymore because you get people whining "They're being too edgy"....People you can't want AE style angles then whine when WWE pull them out
Storm's tweets are more disrespectful than the promo, since it's Storm who's legitimizing the "insult" by drawing attention to it and dragging it out of kayfabe. He should've just left it in harmless storyland where it belongs.
I don't feel the way Lance does at all but the "this is why we can't have Attitude Era style promos and edginess" argument just doesn't make sense - it's a shameless false argument. When people say they like Attitude Era promos, edginess, or any combination of the above they're not talking about mocking dead people or those who had serious health scares on air.
Who is supposedly actually saying that stuff is good? Absolutely the Attitude Era had some utterly tasteless stuff and those bits aren't widely celebrated or heralded as brilliant.
I get that you're trying to say "you can't even start saying edgy things because some people will complain" but the truth is there are tons of edgy things you can say that don't involve dead people/health scares - you're making this giant leap from 'some people are bothered by mocking the deceased' to 'you can't say anything edgy'.
Again, I really don't think having two heel upstarts saying "legendary team was a joke" is disrespectful to the team members, living or deceased.
The guy who was in an anti America stable shortly after 9/11 has been offended lol. Was Lance crying when Eddie's death was exploited two weeks after he died?
I was just thinking that. I believe it was Randy who said something about Eddie's death on Smackdown, something about he was a junkie or something? I can't remember exactly what he said but where was the outrage for that? :lol
Did they piss on Hawk's grave? No so all this faux offense is bullshit they simply said they were better how is THAT dissing Hawk? I didn't hear people bitch when tons of heel tag teams said they were better than past teams. Storm is ok with Cole mocking Lawler's mum dying but a heel doing a kayfabe ego filled promo about being better than past teams, that is what puts sand in his vagina?
O Lance Storm... you were a wrestler for fuck sake and worked with heels that would go the distance to get heat. What the fuck are you smoking now? Used to respect this guy a lot but the past few years he has said some of the dumbest shit possible by someone that used to be in the business.
The worst part about this segment was the commentary team's reaction to it. Unless of course, The Ascension are meant to be a delusional comedy tag team, then it was spot on.
This is exactly my point people want WWE to be edgy but when it veers to the edge everyone starts getting offended. And that promo wasn't mocking Hawk's death i think Storm sometimes gets a sandy vagina for no reason. He's been a wrestler so your right why doesn't ge get heels have to get heat by saying stuff like "We're far better than LOD"
Surely to christ Lance Storm isn't being serious here? For a man who has worked in wrestling so long, you'd think he'd be au fait with how heels get heat. Besides it's hardly the worst thing that's ever been said in WWE.
It's just endemic of the Internet though, people are always looking to tell people they can't say something these days.
How about we just leave dead wrestlers out of the promos? Since when was disrespecting a dead legend okay? You people are out your fucking minds if you think any of that was okay.
