Wrestling Observer's Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic award

How the McMahon's being all over tv beat out HHHs racist angle is beyond me

Right? The McMahons have been all over the product going back to the late 90s, why single out 2003?

Meanwhile Trips was being blatantly racist to Booker and HHH still went over.

Very true. I don’t know how they missed one of the most egregious feuds/match results like Booker/HHH at Mania. Thinking back though, the McMahons really were all over tv. Steph was basically feuding with Vince, A-Train, Brock, Sable, and Big Show on SD while Shane was feuding with Kane on Raw and attempting to protect Linda the McMahons have been all in the video forever, and they're a major reason why the WWE is currently in the shape it’s in

wasn't the al wilson/dawn marie/torrie angle in 2003? that shyt was way worse

Bob Backlund needs to put Meltzer in the cross face chicken wing for adding him. Also, I'm sure it's a ton of Memphis shyt in the 80s and 90s that are on par with some of these choices.

when he was suspended from the NFL and did his short stint in TNA as Ron Killings partner, NFL said he can't do anything physical at all. So all he did in their matches was make it rain on their opponents as a distraction and sometime pin

I knew he signed with them for something. I just don’t remember hearing about the paralyzed wrestler.

Surprised the screwjob didn't win in 1997
And what was so disgusting about Bob Backlund in 1982?

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

at "Bob Backlund as WWF Champion" and "Push Eric Watts" with the truly tacky and terrible shyt in between them

Bill Watts was stuck in the 70’s but he wanted to get his bum ass son over so bad he teleported into the late 90’s WWF for that. Still didn’t work.

In 2003 Vince orchestrated another Montreal Screwjob against Hoegan, bloodied him and signed his contract with it, feuded with and beat a one legged kid on PPV before having Brock Lesnar later demolish and throw him down a flight of stairs, fought with and beat his own daughter in a hardcore match, and basically murdered the Undertaker. That’s not to mention he was running through the Smackdown divas while Eric Bischoff was implied to be raping Linda while feuding with Shane.

If Hunter/Booker never happened I would’ve probably voted for the McMahons too. But that racist ass storyline exists and it really should’ve been #1

Also his match with Stephanie was days before her real life wedding
