f*** off Edge

[67 more]

Dude made either a gay joke or a prison rape joke in 2023 (not quite sure which intention it was but it wasn't good).

Obviously, f*** whoever scripted the line for him but all it does is make me cheer the Judgment Day instead.

[Toxik916]

Are you really that upset by that joke? It was cheap jab but Dom is such a delusional punk it worked really well. Dom is trying to glorify his experience staying overnight in jail and Edge just called him out on known prison behavior.

[ChitownKnight]

Damn people get offended by everything these days

[Lizuka #BLM]

I do think it's gross to joke about prison rape but I also kind of find it too commonplace of a thing for people to joke about to get that upset about it. Sucks that it's taken so lighten broadly speaking but in general it's not a subject matter people take seriously so seems hard to call out individual cases of people not taking it seriously.

Also kind of seems weird to be this upset about this particular case when Max Caster also had a much more direct gay joke on Dynamite where the joke really didn't extend further than, "You guys are gay!" and no one really seemed to care about that one.

Christ! People really have thin skin nowadays

I did appreciate the Jamiroquai reference though. I’m sure all Brits did.

[Mozenrath]

I don't care for it, but Rock made gay jokes almost literally every promo for years and years. It's something that's unfortunately going to be difficult to extricate from wrestling culture.

[Squirrel Master]

Dominick dropped the soap, but lucky for him that Squirrel Master was there to make the save!

[Starshine]

I mean, Edge is a relic himself, so him reaching for tired jokes like this isn't really surprising.

But this is what we really need to start pushing, lest my prediciton that 2023 is the year where Jamiroquai returns to mainstream relevance fails to materialize.

Pretty much it's kinda gross in general that rape is a punchline and has been for a long ass time...

Not going to single out Edge for it since it's pretty common in all media.

The Caster bit is weird because... like his tag partner is openly gay.

That prediction failing would be virtual insanity.

His tag partner being gay might have been the reason why people give him more of a pass. Like the fact he was in on the act might have made people more willing to let that go. It's not the best explanation and I'd expect better from him than "you're gay. Boom. Roasted." but between that and it being a throwaway line, in a throwaway rap, before a throwaway match, might have allowed some people to miss it.

Heck in kayfabe it wasn't even a night, it was a few hours.

Max Caster does a lot of oddly gay stuff that is quite odd when you consider that he's the straight one.

[DZ: WF Legacy]

Edge rules.

[poodoojenkins]

I hope this wave of everyone being offended by everything ends soon.

I miss when you could just make a f***ing joke.

I think either that's an intentional part of the act, or just part of Caster's personality in general. He's kind of a weirdo if you pay attention (strangely, this is actually why I first started to like him). Like, back when AEW was still doing the Lexy Nair interviews (before RJ City took over and turned it into Hey EW), at one point during Caster's he curls up into a ball and starts making odd gestures. And he'd say a _lot_ of weird (not even sure if it's fair to call it weird anymore in current day, but...) shit long before "Scissor Me" ever took off.

Two things;

1: It's an old standby, It's the reality of prison. Not really a rape/gay joke, I get what you're saying though.

2: This thread will be a free and easy block list, I appreciate you outting yourselves.

Those jokes still kinda upset me (in a way similar to how they would upset Thomas DuBois from The Boondocks.)

[Kalmia]

I don't know if it's being offended or if it's just hoping for wrestling to be better.

Making gay jokes or rape jokes doesn't make a wrestling promo or storyline better and removing them doesn't damage the angle, so why include them at all? Just say something else. It's Dominic Mysterio. Clowning on him is like shooting the proverbial fish in a barrel.

I understand completely, You have every right to feel uncomfortable about it.

Related, I miss that show.
