Gotta lol at all the AE folks who go and cry as soon as something slightly edgy happens though.

I think within certain boundaries, the WWE should be allowed to have characters that display things in society that aren't considered acceptable. Bullying exists in society and CM Punk is being portrayed as a bad guy, not a face. If he had segments like this when he was a face, in my opinion it wouldn't be acceptable, but this is the whole point of heels. To do unacceptable things so that a guy who is portrayed as a good guy, like John Cena, can stop them from doing those things. The end result being, the face, or the guy who is viewed as an acceptable individual conquers the heel. It's classic wrestling physcology.

Doesn't matter if you feel tha way. I just want to know how many people would still be liking it if he was dead.

This thread is too long to read all posts so I don't know if someone already posted something similar but if Jerry Lawler has no problem with it why should anybody else? It was a scripted segment to make a heel even more hated and maybe it was even the idea of Jerry Lawler to bring this real life situation into it to make a segment more edgy.
Look at the last year and all the jokes Michael Cole made about the mother of Jerry who passed away days earlier and months later both sit at the announce table and laugh together and months later Cole had almost a breakdown because his good friend Jerry had a heart attack.

I defend it because Jerry Lawler is well and Jerry Lawler had no problems with it. If Zach Gowen has no problems or even had the idea to participate in a storyline where his opponents makes fun of his missing leg why should I be disgusted?
You can say that it's disrespectful to other people who suffered a heart attack but that's ridiculous and it's like saying that if Mark Henry makes fun of Big Show because his leg is broken he makes fun of every man in the world with a broken leg.
And nobody would say when watching a movie where somebody is mocked that it's disrespectful because it's only a movie.
This is entertainment, no matter if it's great or disturbing, it's entertainment and I defend it because it's scripted.
I don't need to find a segment funny to defend it, I defend it because it's part of the show.
You can't compare it with the "Eddie is dead" segment. First this tragedy ended with a bad news and not a good news like in the case of the King and second, Eddie was dead and couldn't decide if he wants to be a part of a storyline unlike Lawler who had no problems with it.


Why should it be a problem? If George Clooney plays a bully in a movie why should it affect George Clooney the actor? There is a difference between entertainment and reality

Goes to show you what kind of world we now live in when people think that is funny.

As for saying it is edgy that is not edgy, that is desperate and scrapping the barrel.
Saying its ok because King thought it was ok is beyond the point. Imagine his family who sat at his bed side not knowing if he would live or die. Do you think they thought it was funny? In the AE they had good writing, they didn't need to resort to someones near death as a way to give someone cheap heat. It is no different then Punk coming out when the cancer segment was happening, ripping up the $1m cheque and taking the piss out of the cancer victims. And if you find that funny then you are one sick fuck....

Also if you replay it your see Cole was not happy about it at all. He said it was pathetic a few times and said it shouldn't of happened. Sounded genuinely annoyed and you can't blame him.

Wrestling is fake.

Sorry to spoil it for you.

Falkono

Sorry but what does that have to do with anything at all?

So what your saying is WWE could come out and rip on people who died and because it is fake it doesn't matter?

Another fine example of the current fan base.....

Karma101

It wasn't a segment designed for laughter, it was a segment designed so that people would hate Punk and it's clearly working.

And yes it's ok to do it because it's fake, stuff like this happens all the time with bad guys in TV shows and movies and I don't see how this is any different.

TheF1BOB

Lets make fun of the guy who nearly died because he gave the green light, right?

This is a sick world we live in, a sick world.
