Put that motherfucker in the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame.

Sweeney was amazing. It is an absolute shame that I only heard him after he died.
This angle was in poor taste, though.

yeah, just so we're clear here, my "so awesome" was in reference to Sweeney. The angle was...uncomfortable.Comment

Didn't WCW or WWF have an odd stalker/rape angle with DDP or Mongo or something? Or they were going to do a rape angle but the girl backed out?Comment

I mean "a ton" of years ago. Like mid 90's Mongo McMichael with Debra, or DDP with his wife at the time..or was it some angle that Sable backed out of with the WWF?Comment

There was Triple H/Katie Vick. Also Beaver Cleavage ended up being a wife beater/rapist type before they dropped it. Empire mentioned Batista insinuating rape towards Melina (as a babyface!).
DDP was stalking Sara Undertaker, and it had creepy undertones. They dropped that, too.
Obviously these things never go over well, but they keep trying them.Comment

There was the Goldust/Pillman thing where they had a PPV match that if Pillman won he got to kidnap and rape Marlena for a month.
THE GOOOOOD OLD DAYS!Comment

I believe so, it was suppose to be Goldust's revenge. Instead they just kept them off TV for a bit then did an angle where Runnels broke up with Marlena and became "The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust"Comment

The thing with that ROH angle, is the crowd gets really excited because they think Dempsey is finally going to snap on Sweeney, especially since Hero/Toland/Del Rey/and the cast of thousands aren't out there. Then when they realize what is happening, half the crowd starts to groan, the other half (the misogynist virgins) clap like retards and egg it on.
Dempsey could have teased snapping on Sweeney and the rest of SnS could have come out and beat him down as usual. Oh well, hindsight.Comment
