Dean Ambrose took his ball and went home. He definitely didn't do everything he was asked to do and appeared at every required date to fulfill his agreed upon contract. That rat bastard took his ball and went home and now he's working for another company that's definitely not competition but is actively trying to make sure that poor little baby Seth Rollins doesn't have anywhere to work and he's gonna starve to death.

Degeneration-X single-handedly destroyed the evil WCW empire with a tank... Ever notice how they don't ever mention DX's lame shtick after that, such as realizing WCW was based from an industrial park and not a big building with giant letters, so they went to the CNN food court and later "blew CNN up" with direct to video graphics? This led to Triple H engaging in a stock footage adventure that resulted in him dropping a shit missile on Evansville. They did the one bit with the tank and left it there.

Us and the Blog of Doom came up with this topic the same day...weird... Welllll.... Warrior not returning to WWE? He was a nutcase and never really over and etc. etc. (I mean, that DVD wasn't totally wrong, but still petty) Warrior making nice with WWE? He was one of the key figures of the 80s boom and a posthumous hero. (and WWE has this problem in general, as it honors people for their kayfabe characters and accomplishments, not so much who they were as people) YMMV, but "93,173" WrestleMania 7 was moved because of a bomb scare. This one is understandable, but....Benwho? And I STILL want to know if Dean Malenko really said, post-2007, that the "three Radicalz joined WWE in 2000, etc etc"? Some more (I am simultaneously writing here, then C-and-Ping to the BOD version) Ironically, anything pre-2002 being "WWE". And I'm sure the stars of the '60s and '70s love being called sports entertainers. The ending to Royal Rumble '92 in its free TV form. Would the heat machine in general count? Shoot, during the Hulkamania era where EVERYONE started from the beginning. If you were lucky, maybe Gorilla would call you a ring veteran with a load of credentials. But won several titles in another company? Forget it. And don't get me started on people who got completely new characters. Mae Young, a comic relief character for most of the 2000s till the end of her life, is a legacy figure for the women's tournament. (YMMV again, as the former is what most people who started watching wrestling by the 90s may remember her as.)

They say that the "security issues" were about the expenses involved and that running the Coliseum suddenly became more expensive by a few million dollars around the time of the 1991 Super Bowl than it was when they signed the deal in spring 1990.

Completely erasing AJ Lee from the womens revolution pages and giving credits to Steph Or Cole saying on air" Some people say Nikki Bella is the reason the womens revolution started" Trust me, WWE has been very problematic when deciding who started the women's revolution.

Question; would we still talk about this history if they kept Slaughter as his original character of an American xenophobe who punked on anyone who wasn't his definition of a true American? The Iraqi sympathizer stuff came later and clearly was for cheap heat.

Eh..It's more Seth's revisionist history than WWE's. I don't think they ever mentioned Dean after the Shield sendoff.

Re: WM7 “bomb scare”
“Bomb scare” was a slang term for poor ticket sales back in the day IIRC

The way they always go on about how Triple H was totally buried for the Curtain Call and had to claw his way back to the top. Any time they mention it in any documentary they always use footage of him in the hog pen match as if that's an example of the humiliation he had to go through.
Even though in reality the hog pen match was about 6 months before the curtain call even happened and his big "burial" bascially amounted to them delaying him winning KOTR by a year and jobbing to Jake Roberts clean on a RAW.
The curtain call happened in May and by September he was feuding with Mr Perfect and by October he was IC champion, back when that was still a huge deal, and he's been booked super strong ever since.

Even in 1991 they were deliberately vague about "security issues" with the implication that they had received bomb threats. That was, nonetheless, a gross inaccuracy. The ticket sales for WM VII were so sluggish that WWE moved the event from the Coliseum to the smaller Memorial Sports Arena. Of course, revealing the truth wouldn't have put WWE in a good light even now.

Them claiming in the mcmahon 06 documentary that Ted Turner wanted to buy a piece of the wwf because of how successful they were after buying a controlling stake of Georgia Championship Wrestling. They forgot to mention the huge disaster and how Black Sunday happened.

This comes up in many threads but Stone Cold taking off like a rocket immediately after KOTR ‘96 and the company being completely behind Austin right then as their next star What a crock of shit. It took them way longer even then Vince didn’t wanted to give Austin any merch.

Of course, revealing the truth wouldn't have put WWE in a good light even now. On TV, they didn't acknowledge the change besides putting a new voiceover in the ad saying WrestleMania was coming to Los Angeles without naming the building. The security expenses being too much was the story people high up in the company were told, so if false, they were getting worked just like the public.

And, HHH actually won the Hog Pen match. A proper burial would see hom lose.

Honestly WWE is still a stupid name. And the fact that the logo is just WW. Seriously, I've had non-fans ask me "Why is the logo WW if it's called WWE?"

Austin was little more than a Job guy in WCW who lost to Joey Maggs
Looking at his career there, if that's a Jobber, sign me up
