"Queering doesn't make the world work," said the Ultimate Warrior, back in 2005, during a Young Republicans conference.

He said this to support his theory that homosexuals are not as "legitimate" as heterosexuals. When a woman in attendance cried out "Oh, Jesus," Warrior in response to that said "Don't have an orgasm on me, honey". The woman in question was confronted with a hateful bigot rendered red in the face by the thought of two men engaging in a private, consensual act. An orgasm probably wasn't forthcoming; she was likely as dry as a Baron Corbin match.

In the years since, WWE has selected his widow Dana Warrior as, for f*ck's sake, an ambassador to the LGBTQ community. Sporting purple in support of Spirit Day, Dana even had somebody ghostwrite a blog in which "she" claims that it is "patently wrong to set an example of ignorance rather than acceptance".

This G.L.A.A.D-handing is bullsh*t for self-evident reasons, and because this sort of brazen, ugly PR renders satire, and thus this series, entirely moot. Thanks Dana.

Whatever next?

Let's just have Abdullah The Butcher represent WWE in partnership with the World Hepatitis Alliance. Maybe Bram can school the world on the horrors of domestic abuse. Hell, have Hulk Hogan do talking heads for the next Black History Month PR drive.

Nothing is beyond these people. Absolutely nothing.
