Even more so than the rest of the Internet, wrestling Twitter is a place where someone makes up a guy and gets mad at him.

Mishandled a sexual assault allegation involving one of his students, has some gross nonconsensual sex stuff in his background :nms:(urinated on a girl during sex without her consent):nms:, accused of sexual harassment by multiple women, arrested for violating a protective order that his ex fiancee took out against him, sent unsolicited dick pics to female wrestlers, generally a lovely guy.

Stole protein powder from a store in Japan and got fired by Noah because of it. But that's in the "dumbass" category more than the "scumbag" one.

He never posted the gently caress footage.

First he claimed I would need to subscribe to his Onlyfans. I informed him this was incredibly deceptive marketing to promise footage to teach me how to have sex and then charge for it.
Second he claimed he could not as his wife did not consent. This is very important, I am proud of Mike for valuing consent but it is odd he asked me to join his Onlyfans first.
In response I told him that instead he should film a video where he explained how to be good at sex, this would be acceptable and allow him to retain his honor.
He said he would do this, and that he would edit the video that night.

He lied. We will never know how to be good at sex :(

There was something where he booked an angle with Aja Kong where she'd walk out of the company and then he turned around and actually sued her for walking out of the company, I dunno the actual details beyond that though

I hope this is bait,. It's reddit so it could be squared circlejerk, but, my brain is just telling me this is real, there is just so many WWE diehards online that will "stand up for WWE" even if there is a criminal offense.

It’s horrifyingly funny but also the people who make these things in earnest are the same people who send death threats to someone like Janel Grant, so then I can only laugh so much. I hope the company dissolves and all of the freaks who are this up WWE’s rear end dissolve with it, or at the very least become 70% goo that gets splattered all over the hood of a car like that guy in Robocop.

I feel like these people are sending more death threats to The Rock's daughter over the Cody thing than they are to Vince's victims cause that's where their priorities are for some reason.

Gravure photo books can be more risqué than just wrestler in gear and can have nudity. If the wrestler is okay with that than all is cool but also Joshi promotions in the past would get talent to do them if they wanted to or not. So it does raise some flags Rossy has a bunch as a promoter/owner/booker

Yep. If a freelancer like Miyako Matsumoto wants to put out a photobook then hey, good for them. They have full autonomy over that choice.

But for example AZM had a photobook out when she was 16. A quick look online at reviews (yes, Joshi fans are often loving weird, I avoided watching Joshi for ages just because the fanbase online were really off-putting and ridiculously thirsty) suggests there were no bikini or particularly sexualised shots which is... something I guess. But it definitely feels exploitative. Especially when it turns out that the promoter likes to collect them.
