I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
I made a post in one of these threads at some point that "nobody has ever calling taking somebody's temperature a Covid Test" and I rescind that and apologize to whoever I was posting it at. Humanity has failed me and I am disgraced.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Didn’t we have a huge meeting where all agreed that WCW wrote the manual on all the stuff not to do with a wrestling promotion?

WCW would have died either way, the merger just sped it up by taking away the TV deal. There's no way that company would have survived another year if the merger and the buyout didn't happen.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Did Joey Ryan get accused of something or is that the dick grab spot/CancelCulture thing? I don't really understand that tweet but I suspect that's a lack of context. I zoned out for a minute and it seems like the wrestling world exploded in MeToo.

edit: Nevermind, I found the hell thread. Should be a fun morning.

Obviously it'd still be a loving stupid & wrong thing to say if it was a fully nude photo but it's not even that. It's...I dunno, even calling it suggestive seems over-egging it. Would she be more believable if she was wearing a bag that covered her from ankles to neck? I don't know why I'm trying to engage with it on its own logic though, it's just a reprehensible view.

Yup. content warning for sexual assault/violence against women: he's been accused by WWN/Shine wrestler Candy Cartwright of telling her to "hop on my dick" on a roadtrip. Which she refused he choked her & asked her what she could do if he made her. She ended up giving him oral because what the gently caress do you do when a professional fighter 100lbs heavier than you threatens to rape you?

It's loving horrible and he needs to be done from the WWE & blacklisted, though it's wrestling so I've not got my hopes up. Honestly, if WWE cut him but Riddle doesn't get charged with anything I'd expect him to be in New Japan within 6 months.

In fact "victorian" is giving later generations unearned credit. I remember reading about judges in rape cases as recently as the 90s scolding victims for how they were dressed.

quote:

I like how meltzer and alvarez has been completely silent on twitter today about this stuff but still find the time to post viewership/demos and that the county wwe tapes in says people should wear masks.

quote:

Because they have propped these people up and dare I say probably knew about some of this. Remember Meltzer was all about being hush hush about Kylie but didn't care that Hana's mother didn't want her daughter death covered. He had no attachment to Hana but with Kylie she had attachment to his boys in AEW.

I know this is tinfoil stuff but I don't care for someone who constantly gets away with the stuff he does.

quote:

Dave Meltzer is a misogynist creep. The reason you don’t see him report on it is the same reason you don’t see Peter Parker report on the identity f Spider-Man.

Guarantee he’ll drop a newsletter where one by one, he claims most of the stories are untrue based on “his sources,” those sources being the dudes themselves.

quote:

The man fabricated a hostage situation, I think the only way he gets cancelled by his own fans is if he does something bad enough to draw main stream media attention or if he starts working for WWE lol

quote:

He’s biased.

Rollins compared bank accounts?? Well,I’m a petty man and gotta call him out.

“-6 stars lmaooo.Rah Rah man do bad”

Ospreay blackballed someone out of the industry because they were sexually harassed by his friend??

“Uhmmm Uhhh Well Y’know It-It happens y’know.Plans change.”

Funny think is Meltzer also used the “Who makes more money?” argument recently.So not only is he biased,he’s also a hypocrite.

quote:

A.J. has never once said that he has an issue with gay people.

He used a slur as an insult, which was a commonly used insult at the time, almost to the point of losing it's original meaning.

As for "THE GAY COMMUNITY?!", if you actually listen back to the interview, he is clearly just surprised by the question, and by finding out he is loved in the gay community. He never even got to respond to the actual question.

Neither of those things indicate a dislike of gay people. The slur is one that a LOT of us used, never meaning it as an insult toward gay people, and that all of us have moved on from using.

I could probably forgive AJ for saying f*gg*t all those times, given he was very young and being told to do it by his boss, if he would come out and apologize for it now and make some pro-gay statement

but has he ever actually done that?
