StarkRavingMad posted:Here is a transcript of the whole thing Dave said, in the context of Alvarez quickly throwing out other names as well and asking about injury or contract status (Rousey, Orton, Bryan): Is this legitimately the quote Dave is getting dragged for?

Wezlar posted:Is this legitimately the quote Dave is getting dragged for? Yes. I went back and transcribed it myself because I wanted to be sure it was as much of a nothing as I remembered. And that’s all of it, after the end of the last sentence I typed they started talking about Orton’s shoulder and then Dave goes on a very Dave ramble about how they work the left side for a worked injury in the United States but the right side in Mexico.

I'm glad we've confirmed what we all knew, that if you criticize the wrestling industry, and specifically the organization that invented women's wrestling, modern WWE, you're a sexist piece of poo poo.

Frank Kazarian growing his hair back made me self-conscious about my bald head. This isn't a joke. I was like "Man I wish I wasn't balding, I should get plugs like Kaz" and my wife said I was being silly. Roman's new teeth didn't make me want to get my teeth embiggened though.

ALL OF THESE THINGS CAN POTENTIALLY BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME: * Dave's intent with the Peyton Royce thing was discussing that it appeared to him that she had difficulty adjusting to wrestling with implants, decided to go vague, and things went to hell when he could have handled it many better ways. * The Peyton Royce thing still went too far and he was right to apologize for it. * Dave was deemed an approved target, hence public pile-on. * The talent were genuine in their feelings nonetheless, even if a few responses (Tyler Breeze's weird he should apologize -> it doesn't matter if he apologized -> blocking spree response) felt off. * Dave has shown, long-term, that his motives are on the right side of the pro wrestling body image conversation, but has gotten increasingly worse at expressing it, especially relative to the guy 20 years ago who was constantly recommending a book about gymnastics and figure skating so wrestling fans could better understand the pressures on the female performers. * He move the Charlotte thing too far and too specific/personal and should have reached out to her before saying anything, regardless. It doesn't have to be boiled down into an entirely black and white argument.

Yeah, but my point was that rather than going,"Oh this is too silly, this makes me look down on this company!" new viewers are probably far more likely to joke amongst themselves about why he's called Trent? and come up with fun, silly ideas just like Bryan and Vinny found themselves doing, and that also by happy coincidence (or.... is it!?!) happens to match the same goofy, weird kind of silly energy that Trent? and the Best Friends have
