Man, this place really does know how to beat a slightly funny thing into the ground OK it's been complained about, and in record time, too. THUS, THE FAN FORUM MEME CIRCLE IS COMPLETE! COMPLETE! Holy shit, the scourge of the 2006-era RAW threads is back! Now all we need is to lose half the thread to technical problems.

I'll admit I laughed quite a bit at this thread; it is funny. But... as tough as this board is on behavior that is in any way douchey, I'm surprised at how all of this is considered okay. Perhaps the same principles don't apply if you're an employee of WWE and don't meet the required talent threshold. Well, no one is really saying "Rosa is a whore who probably doesn't even know who the father is!" or "Poor baby having such an untalented Diva as their mother". Some wrestling related jokes that isn't really mean spirited in nature is pretty harmless. But i am sure alot of us are thinking it and i would be saying it but i was like nah

Bret: "Who are you to doubt the FAN Forums ability to have a thread dissolve into a discussion about how posters rely on using the same jokes that have been run to the ground like your WCW hotline, Gene?" Gene: "F*** you Bret."

A couple of notes: 1) I'm pissed I just now noticed this thread. 2) This has to be the hardest I've laughed at a thread in a while. No one does a running joke better than FAN. Also let me contribute more Hayes face.

Given that her surname is Roucka, and the baby's surname will be Schubenski, I doubt it's Racist Mullet's baby.

And let's face it, there's a long trend of women being accused of keeping their jobs via sexual favours that this draws on that the MVP thing just doesn't involve. Unless we're saying there was a different kind of screwing going on with HHH. Ok. I'll flip it. Triple H only has a job because he's screwing Steph, same with Cesaro, he clearly only has a job because he's screwing one of the NXT trainers.

I totally understand where the concerned folks are coming from, but I'm not getting any especially shame-y vibes from this thread in particular. It's terribly tangential, sure, but we go off on mad tangents in rather a lot of threads. I love the humor on these forums because we're gonzo with the exaggeration. If there was actually damning proof of a long, torrid, favoritism-drenched affair betwixt Rosa and the sleazebucket, the joke wouldn't be funny. It's funny because, like Batista and basketballs, we take a one-off innocuous thing (in this case, the fact that the two were said to have a fling) and go totally off the deep end with it. Admittedly any kind of poking-fun can be interpreted as intent to demean, but when the basis of the joke is (1) distorted such that it's several light years removed from actual reality and (2) harmless reality to begin with, I think that sends a good enough message that we're just being goofballs, not trying to be snide. Also, because pics of Hayes are funny. I could be wrong, of course. I can only speak for my Ringouty self and how I interpret our board shenanigans. In any case, I will never stop loving this forum's running gags. May we drive every single one of them deep, deep into the earth.

OK, having had some time to chill on it, I think the reason why I'm kind of uneasy about really driving home the Rosa/Hayes thing is just because Rosa's had so much personal trouble in recent years. Apparently she's a recovering alcoholic and spent time in rehab as recently as two years ago (according to Total Divas, which is why I use the term "apparently"), and then she supposedly had to deal with, of all people, Hayes trying to get her to drink again basically as soon as she got out. Then there were also the reports of domestic violence that she'd suffered at the hands of blink-and-you'll-miss-it main roster dropout Jackson Andrews, to the point where police ended up with photos of her bruised body from it, which could have easily led to the aforementioned alcohol abuse problem.
Now, she's finally found some damn happiness in her life with a new partner and a baby on the way, and that could easily lead to her retiring from WWE to be a parent, which would solve the problem that is at the core of the whole joke ("This is why she's employed despite being not talented at all").

I wondered what ever happened to that guy. Good riddance.

I just find it a bit hypocritical how many people get all over WWE creative for being stale or say, the Raw announce team for saying the same nonsense week after week but don't have an issue making the same joke over and over and over every time Rosa Mendes is mentioned.
