Such a weird open secret at the time, just a garbage dude.

Seeing promoters talk about what a good dad he was because he had his kids on the road with him was infuriating because everyone knew his wife made him take his family on the road with him later on because it made him harder to cheat/get drugs/rides/more from fans. That era of "wrestlers are your friends" indie stars was so scummy.

To make this a little bit more relevant let's not forget Drake Wuertz Candy Cartwright's NXT booking:quote:“Samantha[,] I regret to inform you that we will have to cancel your booking for this Wednesday[,] February 5th[,] as well as March 4th,” wrote NXT Extra Talent Liaison Drake Wuertz in an email that was submitted as part of an evidence packet for the hearing that had been scheduled to adjudicate Riddle’s request for a restraining order. (The one that was cancelled when Riddle dropped the case 36 hours out.) “Apparently[,] there were some past issues I wasn’t aware of with you and one of our talent that would not make for an ideal work environment. Good luck to you in your career.”

Also in the Helwani interview, Riddle conceded that Vince's settlements, NDAs, and texts were red flags that he's guilty. Riddle, of course, settled the sexual assault lawsuit that Candy Cartwright filed against him. Technically speaking, in the official court record, she filed for a dismissal with prejudice, meaning she couldn't refile. Obviously, there's no real reason for her to dismiss with prejudice unless she got a settlement, but if there was any doubt, Dave Meltzer, who clearly gets fed a lot of stuff from the Riddle camp, reported last year that there was a settlement. YMMV as to if there's also an NDA, but if there's a settlement, her lawyer's statement was “The parties have put this in their past and are focused on the future," and she basically disappeared from social media to live a non-wrestling life. What does that tell you? Even if Riddle claimed in the interview that he's never been party to an NDA. As for texts...he hasn't texted anything close to the level of Vince's poo poo about wanting to see his literal sex slave gang-raped by three Black men, at least that I've seen. But I've also seen texts that directly contradict other things he said in the interview. Like how he makes a reference to Daniella (Sunglass Hut employee with two kids) and claims he thought they "were just having a good time" even though he love bombed the ever-loving poo poo out of her.

What could possibly be the problem with a trusted person in an authority role who also happens to be in a sexual relationship with someone he would have had a not-insignificant amount of power over?

Well, I and several others got our FOIA responses about Ashley Massaro on Friday evening: https://twitter.com/BabyfacevHeel/status/1764062332261474429 Since this thread is what it is, I probably don't need to go full trigger warning, but the big takeaways are: * The only person who they interviewed who remembered Ashley at all was the Physician Assistant listed on her medical record as having treated her. He recalled a surprising amount of detail, but a couple things jump out, and they're pretty significant. One is that someone else working at the military clinic remarked that she was high, but even having been told this and noticed himself that she was drowsy, he still gave her a pelvic exam. (He said she was complaining of abdominal and pelvic pain.) He said she consented, and the NCIS file doesn't connect these dots, but since he admitted he had good reason to believe she was intoxicated, she may have been unable to consent. This re-contextualizes WWE claiming in court in 2016 that she had been heard complaining of an inappropriate pelvic after getting back from Kuwait. * The treating PA corroborated something pretty significant from Ashley's affidavit: That a panicked Gary Davis (WWE head of PR) started banging on the exam room door asking Ashley if she was OK. This jumps out in large part because it's one of two things that someone who wasn't in the room (Davis) could corroborate about what went on in the room. (The other being Davis finding her naked and wrapped in a quilt.) * The officer in charge of the clinic refused to answer any questions, even with a lawyer present and even with the questions submitted in writing. * Ashley's medical record listed her as being treated 90 minutes away from where she actually was. Who knows why? Anyway, there's a lot more in the article, including how comments from a medical ethics professor about the pelvic exam issue. So please read the whole thing when you get a chance. Especially since the others who have posted anything about it on wrestling sites so far have done such a lovely job.

https://twitter.com/POSTwrestling/status/1766071618013663654quote:Lots of change afloat and personally, I’ll be glad when the winds have swept that change on through. I’m tired of it. It’s embarrassing in a lot of ways that it’s happened this way. It’s affected a lot of innocent people. That’s my take on it. I might be wrong but, it’s time to move on. It’s time to move on and cause some rest and peace for some people and it’s time to move on in my opinion, and I just never believed that Vince (McMahon) would allow his company to get this out of control and it has and I feel badly about that because I know how much the WWE meant to him. I’m sure it still does to some degree. So, anyway, it’s time. Let’s go. Let’s move on. Let’s rewind it and cast the hook in the water one more time and see if we can catch something more positive. Well if the man who was head of WWE talent relations before Johnny Ace says we should move on...

rotinaj posted:Wow that is an intensely lovely non-answer, JR That isn't a non-answer. That's "gently caress you, leave Vince and the WWE alone, I liked it there, move on move on who cares" answer. There's nothing non-subtle or non-answer about it. John Cena looks like a skilled diplomat in comparison to that answer. That is seriously an answer that should get him canned from AEW. He's one step away from loving endorsing Vince.

One thing a lot of the old guys from inside WWE will never be able to separate from Vince is paying for Paul Bearer's heart surgery so they'll always look upon him with some degree of fondness even if he treated them like poo poo and was monstrous in so many ways.
