JANUARY 2015 WRESTLING DISCUSSION


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

if it happened after September 24th 1994 than Steph would have been 18.

 

Oh, well that's completely different, then.  Savage turned 42 in 1994.   So instead of a statutory rapist, maybe he was just a creepy older guy who took took advantage of a situation and slept with a barely legal teenager nearly 25 years younger than him.  Um... much better?

 

Savage is probably top 5 for me as a wrestler, but, if the Stephanie rumors are basically true, there's no way it wasn't a sleazy situation even if no laws were broken.

Savage didn't actually fuck Stephanie. I think we all know that. It's just kinda funny to joke about, because screw the McMahon's. If it had actually happened, I don't think any of us would then joke about it or support Savage.

You dont believe that do you? People still support Benoit.

If it was my daughter (I don't have kids so keep that in mind) I would be LIVID.. even if she was 18 and "legal" as it were. With that said, it really is strange how we have no problem with 18-year olds going to war. Then they come home and can't buy a drink. 

 

I don't understand how all of this works.

How are we defining "support" for Benoit? If its "Can watch his matches without feeling weird about it" (and for the record, I can't) that seems a far cry from "Is totally cool with the guy. I mean, people make mistakes, right?"

I really don't know if I have seen a Benoit match since the incident. I think I watched Jericho vs Benoit from Royal Rumble 2001 back in like 2001 but I was pretty buzzed when I watched it so I cant remember if I felt weird or not.

Two things fuel the Steph-Savage rumor:

A) Nobody has outright refuted it and it's one of the more famous sleazy urban legends.

B) Vince has welcomed everyone back with open arms when there's money there. From Hogan to Hall/Nash to Warrior to Brock.

On the other hand Macho might make Warrior look sane. Who knows what he pulled w Vince

There are some folks out there who fervently believe that Benoit was innocent and Kevin Sullivan either arranged or committed the murders.

Did Patterson really do that shit? I honestly came away from Billy Graham's book thinking that he made all that shit up. But then again, the trailer for that Piper KC shoot sort of made me wonder.

 

 

RE: Savage/Steph, I'll say the same thing I've been saying for years: 18 is 18 is 18 is 18. Get you some, Mach.

So if the girl is 21 and the wrestler is in his mid-forties, is that still sleazy? Because you know more than a few wrestlers were regularly taking girls back to their room that they met at the hotel bar. Bret Hart said in his book that he always tried to get the hottest girl in the bar back to his room on a nightly basis. I would have to imagine that there had been more than one 21-year-old that Bret hooked up with.

I'm talking about the people here. This board does a pretty good job keeping the crazies out (other than me).

The only Benoit matches I've seen since were in re-watching the Nitros that were posted on the Network, and even then, I was pretty uncomfortable. By the same token, maybe I was a little more ok with those because he wasn't 50-75 pounds overweight dropping headbutts off of ladders. But the guy is impossible to avoid if youre catching late 90s WCW-- I even saw him in the background of a Flair promo on one of the Monday Night War eps
