I think I’m getting close to being able to say “I’ve done heard it all” and this was definitely a contribution to that. Why are you ignoring all the drool and slobber hanging out of her mouth and saying it was just implied puking? Where do you see where I said it implied? I called it a work, I said you don't actually see her puke. Yeah, she has drool and spittle after the bit. But where's the actual vomit? We see the bit from two different angles, and there's no actual vomit to be seen. Notice that she keeps her mouth closed the entire time beforehand. Either she's building up saliva/drool for the bit, or she secretly got hold of something to drink prior to the part of the video we're seeing. The entire bit is gimmicked, and and whatever she had in her mouth wasn't enough to actually make the "puke" happen, if that's what they even had planned. So, just never mind the fact he forcibly put a woman’s hand on his genitalia? Like, it’s not just the puke that makes this bad. I mean, that is blatantly a bad idea in today’s climate. This is as low brow as it gets. Arguing that it is safe so it is ok is kind of wild.

You do realize this was a planned spot that both agreed to and acted out in front of an audience and that she most likely was the one that came up with it? And that the whole point was that the woman found a way to one-up the guy doing that to her?

I am not changing the argument, you are saying this is no different than Warrior puking on a guy backstage- and I am pointing out how it is much different. And I know they agree to the spot, but it is very much a spot that is in bad taste in 2019. It’s just a bad look, not creative or edgy, just gratuitous, ham fisted, and corny in my opinion.

Wrestling is a world where someone can expel a poisonous mist out of their mouth into someone's vagina and cause them to get pregnant with an egg that hatches a sumo wrestler. As much as I wouldn't necessarily seek it out, I'm finding it really hard to be phased by this just because someone fake vomited this time? But that story actually is something I would watch, as crazy as it sounds. At least there is an end game and a story. Someone puking on someone's dick, even if it's a work, just makes my stomach queasy. Too close to a real life possibility I guess.

What? We all, you included, spend tons of time all over this board talking about what we like and don't like in wrestling. Why is this topic above criticism?

People's preferences inform pretty much everything they post. Why would someone have to be objective when giving an opinion?

You can act like I am being preachy all you want, but guess what? My opinion on this holds about as much weight as your opinion of my opinion, so I will continue to say what I want. But, this is not a good thing to do in the #metoo era if you ask me. It makes wrestling look too low brow. It just seems like a reach for attention. And the puking on his dick is just corny, I just don’t like it.

Maybe wrestling should just die and go away at this point.

Let me just go ahead and say that I agree with whatever Cornette says about this.
This garbage isn’t wrestling. Joey Ryan and Pricilla Kelly can both go away forever.

And the puking on his dick is just corny, I just don’t like it. I posted a picture a few posts up of a man covered in shit, and was quoted with a picture showing another man being slammed into a tray of dog shit. To charge these two as being the lowest of the low, when we've seen simulated oral sex (Triple H and Candace Michelle at the DX BBQ) and castration ("I choppy-choppy your pee-pee!" Hey, they worked racism into that one too!) and implied abortion (Terri Runnels' fake pregnancy) as just examples I'm coming up with off the top of my head is a bit much. Pro wrestling as an "art form" is burlesque AT BEST. It's a John Waters movie with chairshots, not a Jean-Luc Godard film with a heel turn. And considering nothing has been done about anyone in pro wrestling in 2 years of #metoo when we could also recite tales of women only being offered jobs because of their looks and being harassed by the male talent, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for them to put an end to the likes of Priscilla and Joey. You can not watch or watch and dislike it, that's all well and good. But the whole "These two have gone too far!!!" stance when it's really just par for the course in pro wrestling is just a bit much for my way of thinking in turn.

Like, if this was the worst thing in pro wrestling then the entertainment industry in general wouldn’t look down at pro wrestling, they’d envy the shit out of it.
