Oh yeah, it's THIS thread again.
Lemme start: Darren Young and the Prime Time Players did not get pushed because Darren came out as gay. He came out as gay in August 2013 and they didn't win the tag titles until TWO YEARS afterward and they were complete non factors after they did so. He's never been significantly pushed since his coming out, they've never had a big story except their brief split.
What are yours?

There were two ultimate warriors: Jim Helwig and Slick. I know they look alike, but let it go people.

I do remember PTP turned face and started getting some wins after Darren's coming out, they were struggling to get on TV before that after the Abraham Washington aftermath.

I forgot Prime Time Players were even tag champs until I saw the thread.

Oh wow, I have zero recollection of the Prime Time Players being the tag champions and they won them less than a year ago.

Bret Hart being the most over guy for the company in Europe in 1992.
Granted, only Bret himself believes this myth, but felt it should be out there.

I don't know how many times I have to keep telling these idiots but John Cena cannot lift the Big Show! He's too big. Get over it, guys.

Let's dispel with this absurd story that R-Truth exploding to promote MacGruber, then reappearing shortly afterwards like it never happened, wasn't awesome and hilarious.

That Randy Orton was not over as a face in 2004. I must have made up his big pop at SSeries. It was the lame concussion angle at the Rumble that killed his heat.
I have heard some people here say Angle was not over as a face in 2001, but that is so untrue that I can't even wrap my mind around it.

No they did not get pushed because Darren came out, but that was why they turned face. They won the tag titles because Batista bitched on Twitter about how Titus deserved more.

That Chris Hero was fired for being out of shape. We literally have video proof that Chris was in probably the best shape of his career shortly before he was let go. His major issues at the time and the ones that realistically likely lead to his release was a complete lack of character past "Im Chris Hero" and a creative team that seemed limited in what they wanted to do with him. We would see similar happen with Sami Callihan as Solomon Crowe a few years later.

I know no one here thinks it, but it's unbelievably ridiculous how many older wrestling fans continue to insist that Kane has been multiple people AND that Isaac Yankem was someone else too. People in their 40s and 50s that are otherwise knowledgable, but WILL. NOT. HEAR. ANYTHING. OTHERWISE.

That whole "Hogan and Bruno only wrestled once a month hence why they were champion for a long time" crap people like to bring up.

People in their 40s and 50s that are otherwise knowledgable, but WILL. NOT. HEAR. ANYTHING. OTHERWISE. I remember an episode of Byte This! where Kane called in and got asked whether he's the "original" Kane and it was so damn cringe-worthy to hear a person ask it. I mean, I guess I can kind of understand how someone might wonder since Kane was constantly masked until 2003, but a quick Google search would set you straight on that.
