Seriously, would it have been all that difficult for the WWE to go a 2-hour show without making referances to death? Is death really that integral to professional wrestling that it simply must be used storyline-wise in a building where a popular and loved man tragically passed away just 5 years ago?
The WWE couldnt have left death out of the show? The writers couldn't remember the sad history of that building? For me, Owen Hart will always be the first thing I think of when I hear about that venue...why cant the people who are paid to write about wrestling capable of the same?
Why is implied rape an appropriate storyline? Woman-beating? Constant eferances to 'killing, dying, death'?
I agree with TripleR, there is no legitimate excuse for why the WWE does such things...it makes the company and fans look terrible to the public, it can hurt the people directly involved, its damaging to young viewers, and it doesnt increase business any(if one looks at it from that perspective).
