10 MORE TERRIBLE Decisions We Have Made As The Authority Of WWE
4. Endangered The Lives Of Two Beloved Veteran Megastars
Are we that heartless? Are we just money-hungry bastards, the lot of us?
We took the blood money. We're just like any other ludicrously cash-rich mega-corporation that enjoys a gigantic monopoly: we need to put food on the table. The Saudis wanted the Undertaker Vs. Goldberg, and so we gave them the Undertaker Vs. Goldberg, despite the risk of the Undertaker requiring his fifth and sixth hip, were Goldberg to hit his Spear at proper, 1998 force. Happily, Goldberg simply concussed himself by spearing the ring post, after which the match fell apart, much like Brian Pillman's widow did when Vince McMahon asked her to absolve him of any wrongdoing in her husband's death 24 hours later on live TV.
But that was the old regime!
We are the Authority now. We wouldn't do something so awful, so cruel, so brazen. We wouldn't attempt to ride a horse with three broken legs, crack it in the flanks with a whip when it failed to move, and then not mercifully turn it into glue. We wouldn't lay out a spot in which 'Taker and Goldberg attempted a Tombstone reversal, requiring strenuous hip action on the part of a man who does not have his original hips.
We wouldn't instruct 'Taker and Goldberg to go out there, in scorching heat, for nearly 10 minutes, equipped with the knowledge that there was a significant risk of head trauma, except...we...did.
Sorry guys. Here are millions of converted US dollars flecked by the blood of scorched Yemeni schoolchildren.
