Yes. people are bullying her into continuing to be rejected by the big league against her will even after she had finally publicly put it to rest.

if wwe really wanted to be malicious they'd advertise lufisto for myc3 make a big deal about her being an indy vet put lots of hype behind it, and then replace her the day of shooting with a new person freshly signed to the performance center

He's okay from what I've seen, but he seems like a great dude wrestling aside. Was in MLW for a little while. He was at (at least) one of the Mania weekend shows as part of a tag team but I can't remember which one.

Watched some stuff and he's green as grass but has solid fundamentals plus:

1. Is tall + big
2. Does the pounce and Big Boy Suplexes
3. Is some sort ultra-bear
4. His story about his struggles with his sexuality are real as gently caress (speaking as a half homo that also grew up rural)

Found this interview and you best believe it had me tearing up:

https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/pro-wrestler-mike-parrow/

quote:

Living in Orlando, he was understandably affected by the Pulse tragedy in 2016. It’s the reason he wears the number 49: in memory of the 49 people who died.
‘I lost a lot of people [at Pulse] that, when I was coming out and was scared, were telling me, “Stop being so scared and help people.”

‘I said, “What do you mean by helppeople?”
‘One of the girls that lost her life, she told me, “You don’t understand. You are important. You do have a voice and you need to show people, especially with what you do, that it’s OK to be gay.”
‘She herself played basketball. She said, “When you’re a kid, it’s very hard to tell your friends that you’re gay because there’s really no role models for young, gay athletes, because everything you see on TV is stereotypical. It might be you are able to help a 14-year-old or 15-year-old from deciding to kill themselves because they don’t have a role model.”

‘That really stuck with me, especially after what happened. After Pulse happened, it gives me my drive to be myself.
‘That’s why I wear the 49. To honor them and be myself. To remind me that you do need to tell people. They do need to understand that not everybody’s the same, that everybody has a journey: You need to keep going forward.’

Yeah he says that they basically went, "ok we're gonna arrange a date for you with a woman and you like women now." and shockingly enough this strategy proved both wrong and extremely detrimental to his mental health. Also as a bear his talk about how body-shamey and nasty the gay community can be is spot on, especially back 5/6 years ago. I really feel for the dude and hope he can grow as a performer and become a big deal despite his late start.

I remember reading this months back and it's what will make me a fan of this guy forever regardless of his in-ring ability. He sounds like such a good dude and has overcome some big struggles to finally get to a place of comfort. It'd be neat to see him pop up in the AEW battle royal.

It's probably about half that they were more woke, and half that as Meltzer said, people won't boo their childhood. Someone doing an impression of the guy from their childhood who was a bad man, sure, but when Real American starts, a lot of people are 8 years old in their PJs again.
