Didn't the age of the fall just beat the Briscoes up? How is that worse than Sweeney making an knocked out fat man rape some girl who is also knocked out?

No...they strung him upside while he was badly bleeding and had one of them bleed all over Jimmy.

And for the love of God...he didn't rape her.

I haven't seen either. Just going off what people said.

Honestly the AOTF thing doesn't bother me either, but whatever.

[heyguesswhatidid]

It was like something out of Porky's or Animal House.

Tasteless, but funny.

Sweeney could probably push a old lady down stairs and give he a wedge and he would still get cheered. They really need to just put him in the booth already.

And I'm glad Gabe put this on the DVD.

While it is not the video, I did manage to find some pictures of the incident from this site.

I apologize if these photos have been posted already, but if not, judge them for yourself.

All credit goes to photographer Scott Finkelstein.

So, Sweeney cracks a sexual joke about Danger, then Bobby is knocked out and lands on top of her? I don't know why some people find that offensive. I've seen much worse stuff from WWE, TNA, CZW, WCW, ECW et al.

I dislike this argument. I don't feel that any promotion should settle for "other promotions have done worse" - the segment should stand on its own merit or lack thereof. And I think the whole thing was a stupid idea. Sweeney is not going to get heel heat - but as of now, it's not affecting any babyfaces he's up against, and he's drawing money for ROH. There was absolutely no reason to go this far in my mind.

[Ultimo Chocula]

You'd think ROH is above this kind of thing. I'd expect this bit from some Midwest backyard fed.

eh, to be fair, he wasn't a documented pedo when he first co-started ROH

Oi, so much respect lost.

I understand that, I just don't see why people are blowing it out of proportion. Yeah it's a bit dumb, but not some disgusting or outrageous segment.

After seeing the photos, yeah, it looks a little bit worse than some descriptions, but it still isn't exactly simulated rape. It's Sweeney being a dick to Dempsey and trying (and failing) to make him prteend to have sex with Allison Danger. A bit tasteless, yes. But not some Bah-Gawd-Heinous-ROH-Rape-Angle thing like some are saying.

To me, the pictures speak volumes. And nothing good either. Sorry but I can't support anything about this angle. No matter who or what fed did it.

[Indigocrates]

Eh, to me, Bobby Dempsey looks awkard as hell in those photos, didn't seem like rape to me.

[Hiroshi Hase]

After seeing the pics, hardly looks like this big rape scene that people were going on about a few weeks ago.

This is nothing compared to what Human Tornado pulled in BOLA last year, IMO.

That was amazing... as soon as he did the cut-throat gesture the crowd rose in what I can only describe as an "Aw no he didn't!" reaction.
