The infamous ROH "rape" angle

Put that motherfucker in the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame.

"Clawd-E-O CAST-EGG-NALEE has left the country due to SHAAAME, and he is not expected back...anytime soooooon!"

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

So, so awesome

 

[SHOGUN]

Sweeney was amazing. It is an absolute shame that I only heard him after he died.

This angle was in poor taste, though.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

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

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?

WWE did one with Batista & Melina a few years back.

Don't think they ever teased it with DDP & Sarah Undertaker.

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?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

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.

The Goldust stalking Razor Ramon angel went awesome!

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Or Goldust stalking Ahmed Johnson and constantly calling him MANDINGO.

 

[FedEx227]

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!

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Wasn't the big blowoff match the one where Pillman died the night before?

 

[FedEx227]

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"

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

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.

 

[FedEx227]

I hated Bobby Dempsey so much.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

The best part of that promo is that little subtle moment when Sweeney realizes he knocks her out and he drags her into the middle of the ring.

BOBBY...BOBBY...THIS IS YOUR MOMENT...

DON'T EVER SAY I NEVER DID ANYTHING FOR YOU!

IT
IS
TIME
YOU BECOME A MAN!!

...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand over the line.

That's the one I was thinking of.

Samsonite?

I was way off!

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I think they were ok until Sweeney actually knocked Dempsey on top of her. It was getting creepy before that, but Dempsey standing up for himself would have made it all ok, because being a creep is what Sweeney was supposed to be.

....but then Dempsey ended up on top of her. And Sweeney pulled the Capt Morgan. And the line was not only crossed, but trampled upon.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

You know what...

fuck it.

I approve of this angle.

You can get away with shit like that in the Indies.
