And let's not include kayfabe stuff. Only statements that anyone in WWF/WWE really tried to shove down our throats.

I'm mentioning the "John Cena deserves to be where he is because he sells out arenas all around the globe".

And that was a total bullshit. John never sold out any event, he was charismatic at one point that's true, especially with the dr thuganomics gimmick, but during his super cena run he was a fucking nuisance more than anything. Claiming the above is saying that he carried the company on his back when he never did. It's like saying a WWE event on Madison Square garden would only sell out if Cena was on the card.
Nah... nope....

And so... which ones can you guys name?

Man, you beat me to it.

I guess I will go with..

1. This whole Mr. Wrestlemania horse sh** that they do with Shawn Michaels. The real Mr. Wrestlemania was and will always be Hulk Hogan.

2. Triple HGH / Vince had no idea that Punk was getting married on the day that they served him his termination papers.

3. That WWE was unaware of the issues that Benoit was going through prior to the double murder and suicide.

4. Every single attendance record at Wrestlemania.

5. Triple HGH being this once in a lifetime talent and super draw on equal footing with Austin and Rock. Also, the part about him being this super genius at booking NXT.

6. The revisionist bull sh** they do with WCW.

7. Their Wellness Policy. It's full of sh** as they protect their favorites who are clearly on drugs and steroids, as well as force performers to wrestle while they are hurt.

Its weird to me how the word "wrestling" and "wrestler" is essentially banned from wwe programming instead referring to it as "sports entertainment" but then their biggest show of the year is called "WRESTLEmania" and their company is called World WRESTLING entertainment.........the fuck? they are insane.

still waiting for them to reboot mania (they have already ditched the numbers) and call it "sports entertainia" or some shit.

I really don't get where this issue with "wrestling" comes from. Everyone knows its wrestling so just stop being so stuck up and accept that you are a fecking wrestling company. Literally no-one calls it "sports entertainment".

December 2018
Vince , Stephanie, Shane and Triple H
"We haven't been doing the best job for you"
"From this moment forwards you the fans are the authority"

August 2019
Shane McMahon still taking up half of Smackdown weekly.
Borefests like Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans dominating main event storylines for months until recently.
Thrown together in 2 weeks pay per view half day marathons still commonplace.
The Wild card is still in effect despite NO ONE wanting it.

Doesn't get worse than Stephanie comparing the steroid scandal to 9/11, a comment which aired on television no less.

yeah I remember that, can't remember the exact quote exactly but I remember thinking what a stupid bitch she was for making that comparison.

edit: here it is, stupid fucker. No sense at all.

Not an open lie, but the endless mentions of twitter trendings and Facebook mentions/interactions/likes to imply that WWE is mainstream popular :heston

Not so much these days but from about 2010 to 2016 goddamn you couldn't go 10 minutes without some graphic being splashed on your screen or MAGGLE babbling about muh twitter trendings and Facebook mentions/interactions/likes

My honourable mention goes to Vince saying countless times post Benoit suicide that WWE has a comprehensive wellness policy in place when the fucker till up today makes wrestlers perform whilst injured or not 100% recovered. WWE must have the most corrupt Ocupational Health department of all sport/entertainment industry.

Almost every single time they say an arena is "sold out" but most of the time they tarp off sections.



Or with the Wrestlemania attendance, that is usually a lie every year.
"*This is the record for the largest attendance at any WrestleMania ever"

* - During a leap year when the outside ambient temperature was below 70 celcius on a Sunday before 7pm UTC
