I was a teenager when this was going on and never thought twice about it, which looking back is a tiny bit unsettling.

I was a teen at the time and I hated it. Even when the Dudleys were faces, I never cheered for them because I thought they were bad dudes. I didn't finally starting cheering for them until the summer when they stopped putting Divas through tables.
Accept Tori from DX. Cuz she broke poor Kane's heart.

the only unsettling bit was that it somehow got them over as babyfaces for being Complete Monsters.

Still amazes me that 15 or so years ago, the heels were assholes and the faces were even bigger assholes.

Most WWE stuff is getting hard to track down on YouTube, and it's likely this was one of the first things to go because of the male/female violence.
It doesn't really bother me on a personal level. I had about 5 minutes two years back when I thought on reflection, "This is kinda sick cheering women being attacked by men", but then I realised that ultimately the whole business is sick if you apply real life feelings to it. I cheer men smashing other men's heads in with sledgehammers, throwing each other from great heights, setting people on fire and various other things I would be appalled with in real life. It's one of the reasons I like the phrase "WWE Universe". In real life those things would disgust me, in the "WWE Universe" it's a standard Monday.
I'm a huge James Bond fan and yet hate guns in real life. In The World is not Enough I cheered when he killed Elektra because the character deserved it within the story. I sure as hell wouldn't cheer a real life murder.
The only male/female violence that bothered me was Austin giving Stacy the stunner after she drank beer and didn't like it. It still bothers me today.

I'll never forget being at the Allstate Arena at Wrestlemania 13. And the crowd was going nuts for Austin, in spite of him being a real douche to everyone. While poor Bret was getting booed the tar out of him. I'm sitting there thinking, 'Wait, why are we cheering for him?'

Isn't there a video of every Dudley Boys table spot ever out there it's like 20 minutes long?
I always noticed when they put the women through the table it was more of Bubba going through the table with ass and the diva holding on until they hit the mat.. It looked totally safe.
Wassssuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppp

Bubba tells a story about how they were going to rehearse the table spot with Mae and had the tables set up, and as Bubba turned to see if Mae was ready for it she had already run off the stage and jumped through the tables herself.

I think it was Mae also that Bubba tells a story about how he went light on her one night and when they got to the back she either slapped him or punched him in the face and told him to never do that again.

Wassssuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppp I remember hearing that Trish got major credit backstage for taking the table bump the hard way (i.e. Bubba not protecting her the way you describe). This was before she became a wrestler, she was just a valet, but if you watch her spot then she actually goes through the table rather then just on Bubba. It looked brutal from what I remember.

NO JOHN CENA, BATISTA, AND ORTON ARE DA BIGGEST ASSHOLE FACES LIKE HOW ARE THEY EVEN FACES!!!!!!! DEY ARE WORSE THAN THE NEXUS WHO TRY TO MURDER OLD MEN AND BRAG ABOUT GIVING OLD PEOPLE BRAIN ANEURYSMS OR LAURINAITIS WHO MAKE BIG GUYS CRY IN FRONT OF THE AUDIENCE LEADING DEM ON KEEPING THEIR JOBS AND FIRING THEM ANYWAYS OR JBL WHO ONLY BEATS UP A MIDGET SON IN FRONT OF THEIR FATHER LOCKED IN A CAGE WHILE HE'S HELPLESS!!!!!!!! That's nothing compared to Cena hanging up somebodies cell phone or Randy Orton RKO'ing Heath Slater for wasting everyone's time in a 12 minute skit or Batista being late for saving Rey Mysterio from a heel beatdown. |
