Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 402

Jesus

 

true. but some of them also mention other wrestlers being there when it happened. and I think another big role is how you conduct yourself. Are you a person who women in the locker room feel they can go to if they need help? I hope that especially after this, wrestlers realize that they need to play an active role in keeping the locker room safe, they can't just be a passive bystander who doesn't pay any attention so isn't aware of what is happening.

 

So, that account being bullshit. What does that mean?

 

Yikes

 

I might be being daft here, is he supporting or against the movement?!

 

No idea what he's saying but fuck RVD regardless

 

A great reminder that there are online wrestling fans, and then there are online wrestling fans who do insane shit like this and live in a crazy bizarre fantasy world where they think Sasha Banks is going to marry them and detract from very real issues going on in the industry.

 

So Riddle is off the show? Guilty until proven innocent then? I don’t think that’s okay.

And now the whole “list” is fake? What is going on?

 

Jack Gallagher released

 

WWE is not a court of law and Riddle is not fired and there is nothing wrong with taking someone off the air for a few weeks while you get to the bottom of an accusation. To keep him on air would be the negligent move.

There was apparently a fake twitter account distributing a fake list. But many of the accusations made against many wrestlers are very real.

 

God I kept reading this allegation as Jack Swagger until I actually clicked through to the link here. Also I scrolled down on the page to see them still advertising a Jack Gallagher match on 205 Live tonight.

 

good - Devlin has to be next

 

Such a crazy world we live in. Probably better off just blowing it all up and starting again and trying again in another couple thousand years. (And not just saying that cuz of wrestling, just everything in general)

 

Can we seriously not do this. Believe survivors.

there have been very real accounts being told and simply ignoring them and saying this kind of stuff is so harmful.

 

I’m not saying to ignore them by any means...

But I think there should be a just and thorough investigation before drastic measures are taken.

 

there probably is an investigation currently and it makes sense to keep him off of TV

 

yeah, that’s true. I thought taking him off air basically meant at he was done

 

Riddle is still employed. He's still getting paid. A pre-taped match isnt going to air, yet...drastic feels like the wrong word.

The story has shifted 4 times since it came out (from rape, to stalker, to cheating on his wife and hiding it...); probably smarter to hold off his match til they at least feel comfortable he isnt going the way of Gallagher and Devlin.

Nah, this is making sure they dont end up in an Enzo situation where they're about to give screen time to a guy with a sexual assault complain (and that one was the go-home show of the Rumble)

 

“BUT WONT SOMEONE THINK OF MATT RIDDLES LIFE?!?!?!?!?!!!!??”

 

Riddle is still scum for making a joke about needing to get high to not beat his kids tbh.

 

Aaaaaand there's Riddle on SmackDown

 

If anyone is behind on things.

 

see I didn’t know stuff like this
