I mean, I'm not gonna stop watching or anything ... I just agree with those that think it might have been a bit tacky. I didn't lose any sleep over it ... but I also try to look at it as "what if John Ritter's kids were WWE fans?"

On the SAME album. "Skibb-alee-bee-bop, & Christopher Reeves, Sonny Bono, skis horses and hittin' some trees"
"More pain inside o' my brain, than in the eyes of a little girl inside of a plane, Aimed at the world trade,"
So Cena says "dead from heart attacks like John Ritter" and he's asshole of the year? He's just getting into character. And that particular comment doesn't even make fun of John Ritter, it uses him as an example of someone who has died of a heart attack. Would it have been less offensive if he's said John Candy or Strom Thurman? I didn't like the comment but if you're doing an Eminem-type character and he raps like Eminem you have to take it with a grain of salt. He's supposed to say offensive things. He says offensive things every week. Were any one of you guys offended when when Ken Shamrock called D'Lo a monkey, or when DX came out in blackface? What's the standard for offensive material here? It's all well and good when Cena says something bad about disabled people or gay people, but God forbid he should fuck with the karma of Three's Company. THEN he's stepped over the line.

Sheesh. This stuff is as rough as the stuff I got zapped for.
I thought the general idea of a heel was to irritate you so you want to see the face whoop him even more.
Not quite. I mean, let's say a guy came down to the ring, and then to show everyone what a strong heel he was, dropped his pants and urinated on the first two rows. After I was done laughing, I would be pretty pissed if that's the best that the WWE (the greatest promoters in the world, if you believe them) can do to get someone over.

I'm just trying to picture someone doing that for an entire promo. Hell, they'd go up to each fan and individually piss on them... XD

Liz - they've actually been using the tag-ropes for over a year now on Smackdown! (they returned last year during the tag-team tournament).
Oh, okay! Thank you, I somehow hadn't noticed. I like it.
As for everyone shrieking about how I *shouldn't* be offended at the John Ritter remark -- newflash: it wasn't the John Ritter remark itself that offended me. Reread my post. I took offense at the fact that UPN chose to censor the John Ritter comment but NOT the comment about Hussein's children. Either censor both or censor neither. What they did? Hypocrisy. And you know what? You can yell about how I shouldn't be offended about that either. I was. Period. You can love the John Cena skit all you want -- you have that right. As a matter of fact, you can hug it and kiss it and snuggle it all night if you want. That's cool. I also have the right to offer one big old 'Fuck you' to the skit and the censor.
Okay? Thanks.

| #28 Posted on 23.9.03 0349.56 | Jon Ritter has sucked since the 80's(not trying to act heelish but common)..... hey atleast he didn't screw a "dead" maniquin.
And yes we do need more heel urination lmao...but not on fans,specially if any old ecw fans are in the first few rows. That would be dangerous for wwe genitalia.

Hey, just threatening to do that got Brian Pillman over in ECW.
Hopefully nobody'll catch on to the whole "bodily fluids = ratings" thing, or god knows what Vince McMahon will do in his next segment with Sable...

Triple H has been spitting on the front row for.....geez, forever. (I have no idea how the ratings are affected.)

Well, it could go a long way toward explaining his push. If his secret got out, this could be a new trend among top-card performers... bottled water sales would go through the roof, or they could pick their own trademark beverage to sell at the Shopzone.
Poor Kane might be in trouble, though. Spitting out a fine mist of gasoline and then lighting the turnbuckles would probably have a bad effect on front-row ticket sales. On the plus side, the smarks would be happy with his plentiful scars.

Well, you could argue that Vince has figuratively been doing that to WWE fans for a while now...
