It goes way beyond just passively ignoring it, when there are stories out there of him actively laughing at incidents of ribbing or going out of his way to needle someone who'd been the victim of ribbing a bit to sort of rub their nose in it even more. He's not a school principle who looks the other way when the school's star quarterback shoves a nerd in a locker, he's the football coach who actively laughs and high-fives the quarterback after they shove a nerd in a locker and leave them in there overnight. You say that, but Jim Cornette once infamously shot that VKM reprimanded him and made him apologize for insulting Kevin Dunn's bucky beaver teeth. Dunn allegedly cried at one point, which doesn't sound like a "tolerate no weakness" environment. Likewise, you have the incident where Alberto el Patron slapped the racist social media guy. VKM could have smoothed things over between them, but instead he chose to fire Alberto. At the same time, when a writer approached VKM after being told he was ordered to wrestlers' court (for favoring Edge & Christian in storylines), VKM allegedly replied, "Well, good luck." It seems to hint that he'll just let the boys handle many of their own problems. Doubly so in the case of Muhammad Hassan who management liked and was trying to push, but he had pissed off the boys because he wasn't smart to the business. Granted, the kiss of death for Hassan -- who was an incredible heel -- was the whole terrorist motifs he used at times, which unfortunately lined up with a terrorist attack. ParanoidObsessive posted... Silly Wave. They did that storyline so that you'll feel sorry for the poor Face who got callously beaten up by the monster Heel, and will cheer the Face even more when he triumphantly returns to get his just revenge! That and they needed an excuse to keep Reigns from going straight after Brock. Heyman went out of his way to challenge Reigns and this gives them a way to delay that fight so they can build up to it more. Braun will get curbstomped by Brock just to show how much stronger Brock is and, implied by comparison, how much stronger he must be compared to Reigns. That way the guy everybody knows is going to win will eventually enter the fight as an underdog. ParanoidObsessive posted... I've found it's way easier to watch if you pretty much skip Raw and SmackDown entirely, and just watch the pay-per-views for free at a friend's house. That cuts a lot of the extraneous bullshit out, and you don't have to justify watching three overpadded hours of Raw or paying for the WWE Network to yourself after a particularly mediocre pay-per-view. I've mostly been catching commentaries then using that to figure out which clips to watch and then catching a few of the PPV matches. But yeah, there's just too filler these days. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:877034054] in Spider-Gee...
