10 Dumbest Wrestling Controversies That Went Too Far

6. Chelsea Green: Art Plagiarist!

"Touch grass" is the worst patter of all time.

You sound like a '50s greaser asking your dolly to make out on the football field before heading to the sock hop. Nobody ever replies "touch grass" on a field before logging off and having a fun time with their very real friends. They're just as invested in this bullsh*t as everybody else; the only difference is they pretend not to be.

"Get some bitches" might be worse, actually. "Bitches", plural. Do these people think that you think they are currently having intercourse with multiple bitches? And that they're logging online to say that Dominik Mysterio is better than HOOK during the penile refractory period?

And yet, the people who gave half a sh*t about the Chelsea Green plagiarism discourse of 2021 truly need to close the app, put on a pair of shoes, and go outside.

Here's what happened, which somehow dominated at least one day of the pro wrestling conversation: Green posted a Photoshopped collage of pictures (taken and owned by a different photographer) without "crediting" who had made it. It was a nice thing for her fan to do, but it was hardly the f*ckin' Salvator Mundi was it?

Hours and hours were spent debating the finer points of ownership and abusing Green for the most harmless of oversights.

Touch grass.
