little munchkin posted:It's really a unique thing he offers because whatever biases he might have, he's the only guy from that era who attempts to tell the truth instead of just saying whatever is going to get them engagement for their podcast. Dave certainly has his biases, but I don't feel like he goes out of his way to intentionally praise or bury people for clearly cynical reasons. I know he is going to love the latest Will Osprey match because he loves the fast faced athletic style he works (and might fanboy a bit), so I know to dial his view back a bit to get an estimate of how I will like the match, but I don't think Dave is phony in his praise. Arguing that one silly wrestling promotion is realistic and other silly wrestling are totally fake and lame due to their fakeness is a good indicator that that persons opinion might not be worth much (but way too common of an opinion). It's an extension of the Us vs Them sports mentality, which is lame enough when sports fans take that seriously and have to "defend" their team no matter what. beepo fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Feb 9, 2024 |

https://x.com/timmarchman/status/1755967916481073222?s=20quote:During my time with the WWE, I had observed Vince McMahon making-out with other divas in the locker room, but he never paid attention to me, and I assumed I was not his type. This changed after my Playboy cover was released. I was fortunate enough to be allowed to fly on the company jet and stay at the same hotels as the executives for a period of time so that I could get home faster to spend more time with my daughter. On one of these occasions, Vince was attempting to get me alone with him in his hotel room late at night and I felt extraordinarily uncomfortable. He began calling the hotel room phone and my cell phone nonstop. I called Kevin Dunn to explain the situation and he said I should tell Vince I was not feeling well and would see him on TV the next day, so I did. Immediately after that night, Vince started writing my promos for me. Vince does not write promos for female wrestlers—that is the job of the creative department—and he certainly wouldn’t have, under any normal circumstances, written a promo for me. But he did, and the promos were written with the clear intention of ruining my career. I brought the first script Vince wrote for me to the WWE employee in charge of Creative at the time, Michael Hayes, and he said, ‘you’re not saying this, who the [expletive] wrote this?’ and I told him that Vince did. He said, ‘Well kid, these are the breaks,’ meaning that Vince wanted to end my career and destroy my reputation on my way out. He is known for this type of behavior and also did this to [REDACTED] upon her departure from WWE. In addition, after that night, each time I walk by him he would make vulgar sexual comments that were clearly designed to make me uncomfortable.

It was always obvious that spite-booking was a thing and we can joke about the Vader "fat piece of poo poo" promo all we want but it really is horrific and disgusting how prevalent this all is. Jesus Christ. Throwing a tantrum and humiliating talent, megalomaniacal ghoul behavior. It hurts but I'm glad Ashley is getting some form of justice. Here's hoping it continues.

I wonder just how much money was diverted to Vince's abusive whims and if that was properly disclosed to investors and shareholders.

Maybe this is a reach, but in light of Kevin Dunn being explicitly named in Ashley's statement, this bit from Mox's book seems relevant.

Hayes: This is the most insane loving drivel I've ever seen. There is no loving way you can go on TV and say any of this. This is the ravings of a loving lunatic. Who wrote this garbage? Who the gently caress sullied the written word with this!? Tell me! WHO!? Ashley: Vince wrote it. Hayes: Ah, well. It's all in the delivery. Break a leg, kid.

WHO!? this is exactly why I say anyone who was in Hayes' position, was outraged until they found out it came from Vince and then were like oh ok can gently caress right off. Clearly your career at WWE is more important to you than being a decent human being. Oh the worst that could happen is you get fired from the rape factory - WHAT A loving SHAME!

that isn't a surprise but is probably the best reminder we'll get publicly that any wrestlers who seem like they might be decent guys could easily be like this. particularly anyone who has idolized vince or spoken about him like they were proud of how he interacted with them. it wouldn't be fair or sensible to speculate on any names but we've all seen that time and time again. edit: the "sean" in that tweet refers to that kayfabe commentaries guy in case anyone didn't know and wants to Cavauro fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Feb 10, 2024 |

Saddened but not surprised that Nash had this take.Ganso Bomb posted:Not that I’m surprised because almost every wrestler reveals themselves to be a piece of poo poo Pretty much, yeah. I think people better be steeling themselves for some more traditionally liked (if not beloved) wrestlers having some absolutely poo poo-hot takes on this whole thing (emphasis on the "poo poo" part of that phrase).

bret otoh continues to rule https://slate.com/culture/2024/02/wwe-vince-mcmahon-federal-investigation-janel-grant-bret-hart.html quote:“I don’t have any problem with everybody kicking his head around the parking lot,” Hart said. “I’m OK with the truth coming out.” quote:I think, despite all of the issues I ever had with Vince, I know, deep down, I always respected him; but now, knowing what kind of a weirdo he became, I have absolutely zero respect for him. I do not think I could ever shake his hand if he extended it. Too creepy.
