hammerva Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Someone needs to tell him that being a TNA heavyweight champion really isn't as huge as he thinks it is. He might not like short shaming but there is no doubt he has a severe short man complex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 He is a heel, yes it's twiiter and kayfabe is all but dead in North American wrestling but could he be maybe playing his heel character here crying that he's being called short. Granted many shorter guys do have a chip on their shoulder and don't have a sense of humor over their height. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Men of his stature are on short supply, but you'd think he'd rise above and be the bigger man. I'm also amazed he hasn't been Twitter Mobbed out of existince for throwing a "Husky" jab at a woman with an eating *and* thyroid disorder. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 "Option C" Austin Aries dude was a fucking beast dude. Such an exciting time on IMPACT! Him as TNA World Champion actually felt like something big within the promotion, like it felt like guard was really changing in TNA. Aries for his credit carried that Championship like it meant something to him he was a World Champion. I've liked him since he pinned Soma Joe for the ROH Championship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember him bringing it up on TV couple of times so my guess would be that it is something he feels annoyed about and has worked into his character. Like, lets be real here, if he was taller he would have gone places, I don't see anything wrong with talented wrestler being annoyed that due to his height he had a ceiling that he couldn't really really break.

Aries/Johnny face vs face was quite good last time earlier this year, now they've got some big heat creating a hell of a build for BFG so I'm looking forward to their match more than ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His point is that its a f’n federal offense in 2018 to make any comment that might offend a woman in anyway. Yet comments about a man’s appearance are laughed off as no big deal. So the hypocracy is off the charts. And he’s right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 He's have more ground if he wasn't a known phenomonial asshole and piece of shit. Also, if he didn't actually still call Morrison gay and Taya fat in this tweet, the point would be made. But yeah, die on this hill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibs Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Here’s an interesting question. Had Taya tweeted him, making fun of his height, would it be okay for him to call out her huskyness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Men still have it pretty fucking good these days compared to women. You can be a drunken sexual predator and still get a sweet lifetime gig on the Supreme Court. I think putting up with short jokes and fat jokes is a more than equitable payoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we’re talking about average men not an entitled prep-schooled his entire life jackass. Point still stands. Women can get away with constantly demeaning men. When men do anything of the sort its the end of the world. Ignoring the double standard is fine. Doesn’t mean its not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. And I’m not sure why you keep trying to lump the Aries/Johnny thing together with victims of sexual assault... which is what it seems like you’re referring to...and not what I was talking about. I’m also wondering why you feel that comments about a man’s appearence is just “teasing” but comment’s about a woman’s appearance is body shaming and whatever other overly dramatic buzz phrase that gets used. I mean, when does it stop? Wade Keller just put a poll on his website questioning whether or not Impact using the term “lovely” to describe their Knockouts is sexist. Let that sink in. FFS.
