Baseless conspiracy theory, the Codeman fed Kidd the money to cover this debacle to get her(?) more over.

Yeah Kidd gets booked all over so I could see her just having the money to cover it.

How much would an indy worker at this level expect to be paid for working this show. Aside from travel costs etc.

Even if it's only $200 spending your own money to travel to the middle of nowhere and not getting reimbursed for it is going to be almost all of that $200 or more. It also wasn't a WM weekend show or anything like that you could make more money working the rest of the weekend

If I had to guess (also baseless), Bandit has probably had a pretty good swell of merch sales or donations in the past 6 months or so since they've become a somewhat sudden internet fave. I could see them wanting to turn around and use that money to help others, especially when they were on the verge of quitting just a month or two ago but were probably helped/encouraged by others in the community.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Depressingly this is just what happens when you do something without planning for contingencies. The creepy stuff about Veny aside this feels more like a dumb person than a bad person, but sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

There are properly run lgbt wrestling shows in the USA. Enjoy spring to mind as a small company who actually have their poo poo together. But the way they have gone about it has been much more small c conservative.

It all comes off as if they had a very childish understanding of what this would take and what would be appropriate

And also a pride thing in being able to do it themselves without any help, which obviously panned out well. Stubborn incompetence, I guess.

Its one thing to make mistakes the first time booking a show, it happens. But the willful incompetence and loving a lot of people over is really loving negligent and not so easily forgiven, even if the original intentions were good.

Stick to Twitter and don’t ever get involved in the business again. Period.

The confidence you need to get something done for the first time is dangerously close to the confidence you need to never question your own abilities to get something done.

"Act like you've done this before" is generally good advice but a key part of that is checking in with people who have actually done this before.

Sally is also a bad person but it's not really anyone's stories to tell but the people impacted by her. She's been a twitter main character for years and gone through like 8 different accounts.

That reads like a call out to me: perhaps she thinks that one of the people stepping into help has nefarious intentions. I think it’s a good point to make in principle though: there are people that have come out and said they were worried to say anything about this show publicly because they knew they’d get lambasted and didn’t want to deal with it - there’s also worse stuff thats going around in private about the promoter threatening people with that basically but I don’t know how accurate they are.

Dark Sheik is definitely not the only trans promoter to have put on a show.

Maybe the only one with 300+ under their belt.

Should have announced her own retirement and then just kept running things to really be a big promoter. Seems scrub league to future endeavors yourself.

They're definitely going to make a post later saying it's totally a different person running the account now, but nowhere near later enough to avoid someone checking and immediately exposing it
