      it's probably the right move, especially the process he took (talking with HBK about it before this interview). He asked Shawn if it bothered him, reflected on his own past, and then even with Shawn being cool with it still decided he didn't want to do it anymore.

      Shawn was def a bit of a diva and prick behind the scenes so I wasn't surprised a lot of guys came out and said so after the fact. But tbf to Shawn he's also tried to be a better man since those years so there really isn't as much reason to continue hating on him. Hell if Bret Hart of all people can be cool with him everyone probably should.

      True story. At work the cook comes in a mess. There was snow and ice on the ground and he had a tough time. He fell multiple times and it was like a comedy skit lol. I had to make the smart ass comment" And they call me a klutz. No more than 2 seconds after I said that, I'm bending over scooping ice out of the ice machine, stand up straight and slammed my head on the corner of a shelf, causing myself to bleed in the process. The cook said it looked like I had a vagina on my head, it was a gash. I was ok but lessoned learned. Keep your mouth shut lol.

    @extrageneity 6 місяців тому +5

    There's increasingly a general rule, for anti-bullying, of never making fun of anything about anyone that they can't change and didn't choose. By that rule, you can make fun of HBK for "losing his smile," or for having lost a bar fight and then successively inflated the odds he was supposedly up against in that fight. But his hairline, and especially the vision problem, would be off limits.
    I'm not saying that this is always the right rule. I don't think RVD, even though he was grouching about how Shawn had treated him backstage, was being particularly out-of-pocket with that impression, especially not in the sense that Ed Ferrara was, years ago, when he copied Jim Ross's squint (from Bell's Palsy) in a WCW caricature. But to whatever extent a man like Van Dam is trying to model thoughtful, kind behavior for the people who watch his content, calling himself out for breaking that rule here and apologizing to Shawn for it was a good and admirable thing.

    Guys didn’t care for hbk. RVD is and was where it’s at. Universally cool.

    You're all wrestlers, you should all feel some kind of empathy for the constant pain you're enduring each match. Good looks for him to stop.

    What a dumb question. "Hey can you make fun of this guy's disability for no reason"?

      To be fair rob's story was more about michaels being surprised rob was smart enough to string a few words together at the hall of fame. As rob tells it sean was pretty rude, so I feel like the impression was less about just dumping on sean for no reason and more about pointing out that people might likewise judge sean a buffoon because of how he looks.

    Plus, it's rude anyway. Why ask him to make fun of someone else? But hey, that's the world we live in.
