I find it funny that this dude thinks that sending a shirtless pic to Darren Young would impress him. His entire job is grappling with dudes who generally have better physiques than this guy, but yes I'm sure your abs will make him swoon.

There is absolutely nothing weird or strange about showing your hot bod to your co-workers and then proceeding to specifically reference your shared homosexuality and I will loving fight anyone who says otherwise.

I do kind of think it's gross that Darren Young is posting this in public as if he needs to play the respectability politics game of both race and sexuality.

But obviously that dude needs to get fired or never work on that show again. So what do I know?

if someone comes at you like "hey! I'm naked and gay! you're gay too! lets buttstuff!", the threshhold for being a dick has been appropriately breached.

Also DY's pretty much unfirable so he might as well see how far he can push it.

Isn't publicly shaming people for their creepy internet come-ons one of the more popular online activities right now? There's like a bajillion blogs for that.

Darren's WWE endorsed out of ring media profile means he rides the clean cut black man and palatable and monogamous gay man angles pretty hard.

Which are certainly great things but sends the message that there is only one right way to be black and and only one right way to be gay.

He can publicly shame some other dude all day as far as I'm concerned. But he's gone from being in one box to another.

He's a black, gay man who got sexually harassed by a Co worker. loving lol if you think the WWE was going to do anything about this if he didn't make it public.

This seems really vindictive and weird. Was he just sitting on this picture waiting for that right moment to release the smoking gun? Or is he still hanging out by the performance center waiting for ZZ to show his true colors.

Also maybe he got a burger lettuce wrapped or something.

I feel this is the main argument you are trying to make which might have some value in discussing but you're wrapping it in a commentary about the cameraguy which makes it seem like you're trying to argue that it's ok to send weird nudes to people who don't want them as long as they are monogamous gay black dudes.

I never said anything about it being ok. Just that Darren could have done this in private with management but I don't begrudge Darren for making his own choices.

Maybe there were some "he" pronouns that got confused?

Terrible MizTV script that they couldn't read well at all, Bellas came out and talked trash, samey 6 diva tag match, still no stakes except nebulous "divas revolution!" where the only thing that is changing is match length/amount


They still need good booking and story telling to make people care. The crowd was making GBS threads on it more than they should have but it isn't entirely the crowd's fault with that the women are being given on the main roster stil

If you even try to throw to my side of the field in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.
The segment was poorly written unfunny poo poo and then they were wrestling the Bellas who are not good. I don't get why people aren't into this Divas Revolution. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

The more WWE tries, (or in this case pretends to try), to make it's women, (whoops Divas), seem important, the more it makes them seem irrelevant and subpar.

gently caress you Kevin Dunn. gently caress you Vince. And gently caress all of us that allow the two of them to get away with it.

I'm actually impressed by the equality being shown. All we need is for Paige to start talking about her love of magic beans, and the booking will be just as horrendously bad as when they try to get men over.

Maybe they could have the women start feuding with Big Show and Kane to really put it over the top

Who's she talking to: the crowd, or the McMahons?

The crowd was lame for the "we are awesome" chant (seriously guys, you bury Full Sail but then do exactly what they would do?) but the booking is killing this so-called divas revolution.

The "We are awesome" chant was bad, but you can't try to turn multi-person matches where everybody trades wins into some empowerment angle, because it's exceedingly transparent and ineffective.

This Diva's Revolution™ doesn't make me very confident that Stephanie will be much better than Vince when he's gone.

This is WWE management we're talking about. While not as completely incompetent as TNA would be, there's still way too many echelons. Plus darren young and the camera dude are independent contractors so the HR practice would be to fire the one that's cheapest to replace.

Darren Young just expedited the process and we all got a bonus laugh out of it.

The US Women's National Team and Ronda Rousey blew up in popularity because they were dominant in their respective fields. WWE is telling us that these women are special while making sure none of them stand out and it isn't working.
