Ah good point. I was wrong. So I'm sure he means what he said which is a bummer but whatever. People compartmentalize when they're in the same business as sometime and look up to that person for their role in the business.

I'm going to walk back a bit and give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not trying to tell people they shouldn't be offended because Darren Young wasn't. Even though we have absolutely no way of knowing if he was or not and we shouldn't trust a PR tweet from WWE to tell the truth. I'm assuming you're just trying to explain what Darren Young was thinking or doing and it's coming across very poorly. But that his actions are not a guide to how others should feel or react and that it's acceptable to be mad at Orton for using a word that is an implicit death threat to a lot of people in the United States.

I've no idea how you got all this from me say it is possible. Or think it was poorly explained:

rovert posted:

It is actually possible that Darren Young found humour in what Randy said on the Livestream. Wrestlers aren't easily shocked and/or it likely was written off as "Randy being Randy".

Possible also opens up the probability that he was privately offended.

I previously posted above that what Orton said was completely idiotic. Therefore I've no idea why you think the way have about me in the above.

No. Maybe some one-off PR work here or there.

Really nice good by all accounts. Just I wish I could remember any of his matches despite seeing pretty much all of them.

Getting away from rovertchat again: w/r/t the whole 'Vince looks up to people who can beat them in a fight' thing, I am certain that Matt Riddle, Kyle O'Reilly, or anyone else with experience in both shoot fighting and wrestling will be main eventers in the next year if they can beat Vince in a shoot fight, and WWE Champion within two years if they can also beat Brock in a shoot fight

Vince thought he could kick Frank Shamrock's rear end until Kurt Angle pointed out that Shamrock would annihilate Vince because of his MMA background

Brock fits the 80s version of a tough guy that appeals (muscles) to Vince and is taller.

That doesn't really bode well for Kyle. I've often wondered how Kyle will handle the main roster schedule and the true grid of long international tours given he is a Type 1 diabetic and his body recovers slower. Him, it and how much of role model he is to that community is worth a read if you have the time. It is pretty remarkable he has gotten this far.

I feel like there's a significant difference between pointing out that professional wrestlers are humans with feet of clay and you shouldn't look up to them as perfect human beings and the sort of blind item gossiping.

One of them is a statement on the human condition, the other is basically coming in here going 'look lads I know you like posting about wrestling here but I know that some of you are literal rapists and murderers. They post among you! If the truth ever gets out... well, you will all live to regret complimenting each other! the things I have seen, why... well, better not tell you who I am talking about. BUT SOME OF YOU ARE MONSTERS, AND I KNOW WHICH ONES. But let's just drop it. LIKE THE HAMMER OF JUSTICE WILL BE DROPPED AMONGST SIX OF YOU ON JUDGMENT DAY. But really, can't we talk about something else? Just chatting it up with a hateful racist I know some of you are. But that would be telling. Can't we move on?"

i had just got off the plane with my son, and i was heading to Abdullah's Chinese Food and Ribs restaurant, when i saw Abby making his way towards the plane. I said "you don't know me, but me and my son are big fans of your restaurant." I asked him how his restaurant was doing and he said "nobody told you? it closed." and he hugged me and me and my son started to cry.

2. if your theory doesn't involve time travel or clones, its wrong.

My immediate reaction, which has literally no basis whatsoever, was that QT Marshall said/did something creepy to her, because he always seemed like a creepy guy to me and he seemed weird when I met him at an ROH show. That's all I've got. Thank you for listening.

I agree, but there also isn’t any real information out there other than pure speculation. So there really isn’t much to discuss in the first place and going beyond the info that is out there could very easily just turn into blind gossip.

And to be clear I don’t think Rovert is spreading any misinformation or anything either.

Read the last two pages of the IMPACT thread rather doing this for the nth time.

I just want a journalist to look into whether AEW has an institutional bullying problem. I don't want a second Kylie Rae situation if one can be prevented. That's it.

Talking to Kylie's friends and other AEW wrestlers I personally believe it does.
