He responded by admitting to everything except the rape part, which he denied. He admitted all the shit that wouldn't hurt him and threw in a line "I am not a predator", otherwise completely eliding the accusation that would.

Jiji Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Yeah, I think he's the best guy on the independents and has been for a long time. And yet, despite agreeing with most of his politics, this doesn't actually strike me as shocking. He's always struck me as a massive douche. Feels like we can't really like anybody these days without compartmentalizing their talents from how shitty they are. But of course that's nothing compared to the anguish he's caused people close to him, so... you know... perspective and all that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone fairly close to his politics, I can tell you I've come across a number of people (not all of them men) in that realm who have been abusive assholes that used clout and fame and personal networks to evade responsibility for shit just like this, so it's certainly not something that becomes not-a-problem the farther out you go politically.

HumanChessgame Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Someone who makes a big show of being performatively woke ends up being a scumbag. What a shock. He should change the line in his intro from "The Bernie Sanders of professional wrestling" to "The Louis CK of professional wrestling". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, he's like a lot of human beings regardless of belief structure or actions. We suck as a species. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Re: David Starr. Former anti-SJW BritWres guy turned Noncesmeller Pursuivant Karim Nabbach aka 'Sebastian' (see this for background) was making accusations a few weeks ago: Sebastian may not seem like much, but he's got a lot of friends (Sabre Jnr and Jimmy Havoc were at his wedding last year iirc) and I think his voice carries some weight. Starr is being stripped of belts. In a way, it sucks because 'WeTheIndependent' has been a reasonable force for good - hopefully they can deFeinstein like ROH once had to do (miss you Bob Barnett!).

Ryan Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Glancing at it, I now see Starr was using terms like Grey Rape which is basically just Date Rape by another name and writes like a victim shaming loon. So, yeah, he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only creepy, but obviously she wasn't legally allowed to drink at the time either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not new allegations, but I just became aware of another BritWres guy, a very known internatonal guy, being the subject of a lot of rumours a couple of years back. Obviously we're being naive as fuck if we pretend wrestlers of yore were running a 'no rats under 18' policy, but the increasing involvement of teenage girls 'inside the business' has created a sexual exploitation problem for sure.

I remember Meltzer on WOR a year or so ago mentioned that after The Wrestler came out that he had a conversation with a prominent wrestler about how they didn't take it far enough in their depiction of how seedy and disgusting wrestling is because the random hookup in the bathroom would've been an underage girl if they were wanting to accurately depict wrestling, or wrestling from the territory days, I forget which (let's face it, wrestling then, now, and hopefully not forever). I sincerely doubt Jerry Lawler was the only one with a predilection for younger girls. Edited June 18, 2020 by Oyaji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
