...might it be possible to start giving and stop f*cking talking about it?

WWE have extended their "marketing" strategy to television over the past few years, with Dana Warrior seemingly now employed to do the role the organisation may once have laughably wanted her husband to do had he not foreshadowed his own demise in a post-WrestleMania XXX promo.

The company's affiliation with Susan G Komen has been cloaked in controversy thanks to the toxicity around the charity, whilst Warrior's legacy has been somehow been squashed up against causes against cancer and homophobia despite his open disdain for Bobby Heenan and the "queering [that] don't make the world work".

By dropping these segments in the middle of Raw and SmackDown, WWE seem to believe they're only shining a soft spotlight on their giving, but they know full well this is a transparent exercise in self-congratulation.

It's time for WWE to give without the need to feel loved for it. They literally have more money than sense at this point anyway, plenty of it could go spare in noble directions without any of us having to know about it.
