Mick Foley says WWE is sending mixed messagues about Eve.

[Crayo]

After Eve declared on Raw SuperShow two weeks ago that she'd taken advantage of Zack Ryder's feelings to further her own career and planned on doing the same with John Cena, she quickly became the recipient of great scorn. Cena proclaimed on the same show that he lost a "broski" for a "hoeski;" this has led to the WWE Diva being inundated with the derogatory name at live events and through social media outlets. Legendary wrestler Mick Foley, a friend of Eve's, is not fond of this uncomplimentary storyline and is voicing his concern through Twitter.

Foley initially played up the storyline on the micro-blogging site by saying Ryder should give Eve another chance. A follower of Foley's disagreed, writing, "Once a #Hoeski, always a #Hoeski." He responded by saying both Ryder and Cena should apologize to Eve for calling her that name.

"Sorry, @LizBDecker, but @ZackRyder should take @EveMarieTorres back AND apologize for calling her that name. @JohnCena should apologize too," Foley wrote. "It's important to be able to disagree without being disagreeable. @ZackRyder should just say #noski when it comes to using the word #hoeski."

Foley adds that WWE is sending a "mixed message" with the name-calling since it contradicts their anti-bullying campaign 'be a STAR' and Cena's motto to "Rise Above Hate."

"I wouldn't be so uneasy with the name-calling if not for Be a Star and @JohnCena rising above hate. Mixed message," he wrote in response to the following comment: "How does John Cena accusing Eve of being a skank and of being diseased fit with the Be a Star campaign?"

Foley continues, "I think @zackryder can come out of this looking good, but not if he gives into something as cheap and easy as name-calling."

He was also asked whether the storyline is a product of lazy writing or indicative of a blatant sexism problem within WWE.

"I really love what WWE is doing with it's anti-bullying campaign - but the "hoeski" thing did strike me as the lazy way out," Foley responded.

This is not the first time where Foley has publicly taken a stand for a female being demeaned on WWE programming as he took offense online to Triple H belittling ring announcer Lilian Garcia with a hurtful behind-the-scenes joke during a 2010 episode of Raw. He acknowledged then that speaking out against the WWE head may have cost himself professionally down the road, but vehemently felt he had to take a stand.

Do you agree or disagree and why?

Mick is just a nice guy! And just does not think u should be calling people that! I think that some time Mick forget it just a storyline.

This is the biggest flaw with the be a star campaign. No matter how much you water it down these guys "fight" to solve their issues. How the hell does that indicate a non bullying stance?

 

[Crayo]

Remember Jerry Lawler week after week calling Vickie fat?

Wrestling will naturally always have bullying. Even if not verbally, you are solving your problems through fighting like Seabs said. The be a star shit is Blue, but I find it annoying when people bitch about the bullying on WWE programming because it is just too inevitable that there will be bullying in wrestling.

I agree. If WWE didn't stop boasting about how they're with "be a star" it would be okay. But it doesn't make sense for Miz to one minute be saying "Don't be a bully", then after that come out and insult whomever is in the ring.

Be a Star is just another kid friendly schtick to try and help people think wrestling is good for kids to watch and further along Linda's senate campaign. No need to look to far into it.

 

[Crayo]

Fuck Linda, had to say it. Once she loses again, I'm hoping for her to give up so WWE can go back to its roots.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I'm not one to ask for another attitude era, but I'm just sick of the kiddie crap. You can have a show rated PG that isn't geared towards children. It's not even about cursing or blood, the storylines are just so elementary and boring, the characters, everything.

Same. When I say roots I mean a show based around wrestling. Story-lines to do with wrestling, better feuds, more feuds, etc.

I love Mick Foley. He's a part of that kind of people that always stand up for what's right even when they know they're licked.

@Crayo, Linda will never give up. Sad but yet so true. I think she's been running for 3 years and still she can't accomplish anything. Go back to being a housewife Linda.

Oh god, now they can't do anything in wrestling. They should stop wrestling because it could influence kids to smack each other over the head with a chair. Fuck Foley man, how can he say that?

 

[Crayo]

Fuck Foley? HOW DARE YOU! I kid.
