Pretty much only time something put me off terribly was the build up and follow through of Booker/HHH at Mania 19....I quit watching until the Rumble the next year...

The way that New Day won their first tag team titles in Baltimore in 2015. Read the room WWE. Refresh my memory? On that topic, if the "cutesy" hidden message in the Hurt Business' members' names is intentional... Was that the time that Xavier was the manager but pulled Twin Magic with Kofi despite not really looking alike?

When Vickie Guerrero did a frog splash at WrestleMania as an Eddie tribute, and Michael Cole called it a “bullfrog splash.”
Man, f*** this company with a barb wire-wrapped dildo!!!!

....so, where does Cedric Alexander fit into this? When they turn face and boot Benjamin. Cause we all know changing "B" to "A" makes it better ;-) Thank God Walter wasn't part of the group.

The Warrior reward. The idea of a reward is not the issue. But to name such reward after the Ultimate Warrior as if he was some kind of saint when until like the last couple months of his life. He wasn't close to that as we all know the things he said and done. But we just suppose to forget all of that and brush it under the rug like it never happened. Be a star Anti Bullying campaign. 1,000s of kids get bullied every year and some become very tragic. Yet while running this campaign the WWE would still employee known Bullying wrestlers. And run angles based on Bulling. Ex Bully Ryaback. How about making fun of JR health? Just a couple examples. But what about 2016 Alexa? But seriously, people who bully can be seen everywhere. As for the former....honestly, why no one called out the Warrior Award at the same time when they called out the Moolah battle royal is beyond me. I mean, I am not saying this or the other happened or didn't happen at Camp Moolah, I wasn't there. It's interesting that there's people on both sides of the argument who knew her. But most of us have seen or heard a Warrior rant. Was it just "too soon" to besmirch the name of the Ultimate Warrior at the time? If so why does Warrior get a pass cause he's dead, when Moolah didn't? I guess if true, she actually physically and mentally affected others, while Warrior was all talk. Either way, this is why it's dangerous to instantly forgive someone for everything just because they died. It's also dangerous to base wrestling honors and awards on the on-screen characters only. Money more than anything forced the Moolah thing when corporate sponsors got involved - www.forbes.com/sites/alfredkonuwa/2018/03/15/wwe-changes-name-of-fabulous-moolah-memorial-battle-royal-amid-pressure-from-fans-sponsor/?sh=f60056dafd6e

I also remembered not liking the Marvelous Marc Mero being possessive/abusive towards Sable, then eventually shacking up with Jacqueline, as at the time I of course heard the stories about how Mero didn't want to have Kimberly as his manager, because what would his kids think? Yet this was better somehow?

Remember that time Howard Finkel came out and introduced CM Punk and the crowd gave him such a loud pop that it brought a tear to his eye?
That should've been a heartwarming moment.
If it wasn't for Cole and the commentators shitting all over it and laughing at him.

I've stopped watching their programming because the E employs wrestlers with anti-Semitic/anti-Zionist views.

As someone with Tourette’s I’m offended by how entertainment media portrays it in general. Needless to say I wasn’t exactly thrilled when Goldust was making a f***ing mockery of it.

Actually seeing as we're bringing up the Warrior award, the first recipient was the make a wish kid I was already skeptical of how much they patted themselves on the back for.
There's an excerpt from Bret's book about Warrior not bothering to spend 2 minutes to go see a Make A Wish kid backstage when he was champion, and even Hogan was pissed about how much of a dick he was being.

They've had some offensive stuff over the years, but I found it troublesome and offensive when Vince was making regular TV appearances after the allegations came out. He knew that the audience was going to give him pops and it felt like he was going out of his way to say that he isn't accountable for anything he does. This was probably the one time I can say I was truly offended/disgusted, as opposed to just rolling my eyes at how distasteful or inappropriate something was. All that "then, now, forever, together" stuff was just gross. Don't turn your personal sex scandal into a "we" team thing, you clueless old lech. "Offensive" isn't the word I'd use, but I also thought they veered into some really unnecessary territory with the Snitsky foot fetish stuff. There's a lot that happens in wrestling that doesn't have anything to do with wrestling, but this seemed especially forced and over the line into personal bedroom details. They were essentially kink-shaming Snitsky and reinforcing the idea that people with fetishes are all creepy perv-monsters who can't control themselves.
