Octopus Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 The way Twitter clumps together pictures, I read that backwards and at first thought the last thing she said was she was 14. Then I noticed the time at the top and re-arranged how I read them. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peck Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Welp, don't know if Velveteen will ever actually appear on WWE TV again but, if he does, that's an instant channel-changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's everywhere, man. It's structural. It's not just pro wrestling. But if you want to be embarrassed in a society that allows these things to foster, I get it. To Jae's point, I don't think wrestling is the only thing that people watch for the personal sleaze as much as for the art form. I think that's entertainment, that's sports, that's royalty, that's whatever distraction out there that we'll pay attention to. That's why Skip Bayless has a job, why the National Enquirer and the Star and all those magazines exist right up at the front of the grocery store, why Princess Diana lost her life running from a paparazzo. Sleaze is a societal institution, the "circuses" part of the "bread and circuses" that keep us from focusing on a bunch of other awful institutional practices that are too much to bear in a different, less entertaining way.

Dewar Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Most sports don't have men and women sharing the same locker rooms like wrestling does. Footballers and basketballers would not be pulling shit like this with co-workers and trainees, they would be doing it with the general public, and they usually just get written off as groupies (for example, Kobe Bryant in Colorado). Hopefully everyone is held accountable for their actions. This is some reprehensible behaviour coming to light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I'd think for most people, if you stayed a fan after Benoit, you'd likely stay a fan, barring a direct personal incident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Ape Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 This one hits closer to home. https://twitter.com/thewrestlebrook/status/1274109676167335938?s=20 Kobald WAS a part of CHIKARA, where my daughter and I regularly go because it's 15 minutes from home. Seeing this almost made me quit watching wrestling completely. Since then, though, Kobald has been fired from Chikara. And at least one other person has come forward. My heart hurts, because he was my daughter's favorite. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long run this will force the business to purge of that type of energy I believe In hockey this week, a former NHL player and another former junior player filed a class action suit against the CHL (A mostly Canadian junior hockey league) that alleges (among other things) SPOILERED for grossness -rookies being forced to sit on chairs naked in the shower while other players spat on them, spat chewing tobacco on them or urinated on them. Coach walked in and laughed, then walked out -rookies having to bob for apples in a cooler full of other players spit, urine and other bodily fluids -hockey sticks, brooms and food forced into anuses -teenage orgies paid for by teams More details here So, yeah, this stuff is coming out everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
