Taking pictures of schoolgirls in public is the creepiest shit but I don't think the police are going to do much about it.
Kevin Nash was implying Jim Cornette was into weird sex stuff 20+ years ago
I always thought it was weird when Cornette once said that he took a piece of Shawn Michaels hair and took it home with him. lol
i mean didn't lawler get charged with statutory rape? it's not like it's ever really been hidden
I don't have any faith but they have the most to lose, since they are still on the up and coming. Of course that didn't stop them from hiring Hager and recently having Mike Tyson. 🙃
Weak. Anything short of terminating him isn't going to cut it, given what he's accused of. They're just covering for him until shit blows over.
I would have been OK with that response if we had only heard the accusation of Havok being in a toxic relationship where he mentally abused his partner with his own self harm, as that was clearly rooted in some deep personal problems (and his known alcohol problems). Mental abuse is no joke, but the second accusation though went much farther and it is not something that should ever be done, even with his issues.
Havok clearly needs some help and counceling and come clean. Preferably not wrestling for some time to get away from a toxic cycle.
On the other hand, I also kind of appreciate AEW not dumping him if he is in the middle of treatment and counceling as that could lead to him spiraling out of control instead of trying to come clean.
Basically, he needs to be kicked out of AEW and say sorry to the victims and try to do an honest effort to change.

The riddle stuff is muddy because if there is a history like Matt and his wife claim, and their lawyer(? I guess?) and it's well documented, Then he's probably getting through this unscathed.
I guess it depends if they had that statement prepared before the rape story was tweeted out. That's the only acceptable reason for the way that statement is worded. If what they said it's intended to cover everything, then fucking yikes.
The @exposewrestling account is gone
Hope it's on police advice and not because they had motives, saw some back and forth hinting it was a UK indie promoter earlier

Now the Riddle stuff gets even more muddy. Jesus. A lot of layers on it at this point

DON'T GOOGLE WHY, FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH.
Yeah that was out of left field even for how low I already thought of him.
I just got aware of all of this and two inital thoughts:
- These are a lot of names. Does anybody have an easy list to see who accused who and what already happened to them?
- I'm not surprised that this shit is happening in these numbers in this industry. It's already hard enough for me to enjoy
Wrestling, knowing how many and who supports Trump and Co. but this makes it even harder.
The AEW statement regarding Havoc is... oof. They are phrasing it, like he is the victim of his drug abuse.
The I assume initial Progress statement = Weak sauce (Have only seen it after the update, but from what I have gathered online... yikes).
The Cornette stuff is wild and that David Lagana is a Piece of shit, well that has been known for a while

imo that account's existence was doing more harm than good and it's for the best that it's gone. I have doubts as to how much they were vetting anything that was coming in and they were posting a bunch of vague lists without going into any details about what the guys were accused of. In the end I think that account was just muddying the waters. Maybe whoever made it had good intentions in the beginning but they got in over their heads really quickly.
I wonder how many more terrible things that wrestlers and wrestling companies will have to do before fans stop being able to hand wave away their support...
Look at the laundry list of evil things Vince and wwe has done over decades and how they still have a hardcore base that defends them. People will find ways to deflect from the issues and still support.
It isn't at all when it comes to issues like these and many others. Fans love it despite the deep seated, endemic and very problematic issues that ruin large parts of it.
Partly, the reason why AEW got so big so quickly was just how much of a break it took from the usual, conservative, ass backwards norms of a wrestling company. Indeed the people who run it and thought of it are far more attuned to the modern millennial market then any of its competitors.
It's an exception to the rule.
They got big because it was "Not WWE" and it had some big name people attached it. They're not some progressive company in terms of how they're handling things. It's more or less the same shit but with fresher faces attached to it.
damn, respect for this guy coming out with this after what happened to the last people that accused dream.
What happened? besides nothing really coming from those initial allegations.
I think they're referring to how people immediately forgot abotu it once it was found out one of the people was in a IG group about targeting black people to harass or ruin online.
Re-posting this from the AEW thread.
Apparently there is a Florida law that says if you've entered yourself into rehab your employer can't fire you. Saw it mentioned, looked into it and found this.

Don't get caught up in the corporate minutia too much. It sounds like Jimmy is done.

Addiction can ruin or take a life. Rehab is often the only way toward a cure. Deciding whether to go to rehab for addiction treatment can be lifesaving and can be a benefit to finances and quality of life down the line. However, it is a...

Which is why I said partly? As in one part of a larger piece of the puzzle as to why they got so big so quickly, and signed a seven figure deal within 6 months of coming to tv.
Oh and I'll call them not wwe or whatever that shit means when they start actively demonising the minority based wrestlers they have and use them as props and tools so they can try to get the whole of the world to laugh at them or put them down almost all the time due to the skin colour or sexuality. Must've missed the memo when they put a black and Native American, transgender person as the champion over at wwe whilst booking her strongly and featuring her prominently on media.Then put her as the face of the division.
I've already acknowledged the whole progressive angle and how it's dangerous to apply it to this company, on this very forum. At best AEW is a very liberal company, at worst it's centric or indifferent.
My "not wwe" comment was about how they were able to grow quickly. AS in "another competitor to WWE with big financial backing a good tv deal".
That was always a faux-woke thing to say, there would never ever be any reason for Linda Hogan of all people to appear on Dynamite or any AEW show at all. It is equivalent to Khan banning Kid Rock or Ben Shapiro And yes it's incredibly bad and poorly thought out when you have a guy like Hager and his BS and the others that have been accused.
