I may be the only one, but I think that I'd feel much differently about this if the PTPs were babyfaces. But they're not. They're heels. And I don't see this as a "rape joke." Because one doesn't joke about rape, unless one is Daniel Tosh and is a diptard who's never struck me as funny, because making fun of awful youtubes isn't interesting or worth putting on TV. It's the comment section of awful youtubes. Which anybody can contribute to, which immediately makes it unworthy of putting on TV. It's a "Kobe Bryant is a douchebag who got aquitted of rape" joke. To some, that might still be tasteless, but to me, it's in play -- even on TV-PG -- so long as you are glorifying his behavior. And they weren't. Titus O'Neil is a heel, and he's just like Kobe Bryant. You're not just allowed to boo for that, you're SUPPOSED TO. Granted, in AW's shoes, I'd not have made that joke, as it is neither timely, nor especially funny (there are other, equally "edgy," ways to get the same idea across, and you don't have to think very hard to come up with 5 of them), but this was not worth getting fired over. Hell, it wasn't even worth Cole issuing the on-air apology over. [I fear AW may be onto something, and this has more to do with Linda 2012 than with WWE's on-screen product, in which case, I just refer you to every fucking thing I wrote regarding "Stand Down for WWE" in 2010. It still applies.] All that said, AW was a solid mic guy, but not some singular talent. He'll be missed, but he isn't irreplaceable. If he wasn't torching his WWE bridges, I'd almost have viewed this as a "Daniel Bryan choking Justin Roberts with a tie" deal... but as it is, maybe we should prepare ourselves for the PTPs getting taken over by Vickie? And if that subtext from 2 weeks ago pans out, they join Tensai in her new stable once Dolph turns face? Just spitballin'.... Rick
