Former WWE Superstar Gabbi Tuft Comes Out as Transgender: 'I Love Myself for Who I Am'

A person who I haven’t thought about in a long time, but I’m very happy for her!!!

 

There’s a lot of people I want to go to AEW but I wouldn’t want them to get lost in the mix and that’s what would happen rn

 

I saw on Reddit that apparently she had all these problematic tweets about Covid not being real but removed them all prior to announcing this

 

I mean, she's still a wrestler...it'd be weird if she didnt have backwards views on something

 

I know i've said this before but i rly do wonder if people like Xavier Woods or Daniel Bryan, who strike me as quite intelligent and educated, feel weird a lot in the lockerroom with all the conspiracy dumb shit so many wrestleds believe in

 

I suspect some of this is changing; it feels like a decent chunk of that UUDD crew is part of moving wrestling beyond that stereotype, but man, D-Bry especially, since he's been around so long, has surely had to deal with some batshit crazy people

 

but taker says guys shouldn't play video games in the locker room

 

Smartest thing Taker did for years was to do no podcasts/interviews as himself...the quotes he dropped on Rogan show how out of touch he is.

 

Not sure how this relates to her transition.

 

Daniel Bryan's best friend is Brian Kendrick. He's been around the crazies for a long time

 

It’s wild that Cutler gets released for breaking COVID protocol yet Ricochet and Kacy are still just posting videos of themselves out at parties and nothing is done.

 

Yeah just pointing out that Reddit was making a deal about it. But not sure if it was just typical Reddit hate or if there was any truth. Of course there can be good and bad to any person

 

Bless Effy

 

The 24/7 title would probably be way more fun if it didn’t just go back to R-Truth every time.

 

WWE: Fires Brandon Cutler for being lax with COVID protocols

Also WWE: "Why yes, you can play an unmasked flag football game and have a non-WWE person win the title and take photos all hugging and oh, is that Miz, a Smackdown person?"

 

Or even “hey, I know we should be limiting contact with each other but why not have 30 people in one ring at a time? Twice”

 

lol we already calling him Brandon Cutler cuz we don't know his name

 

Truly a forgotten son

 

I consider that a little different because there's at least the kayfabe of them testing people before working, etc...obviously dont trust the company to do it safely long-term, but there's at least a system they could be following. No way a random charity flag football thing has any testing, etc.

Its like all the Texans being at the opening of Deshaun Watson's restaurant, mask-less, just to take an opening day photo shot. Just such a stupid risk for no good reason

 

Don’t worry, Truth got it back.

Think these technically count as the first WWE matches in front of a crowd in like a year?

But yeah very dumb to do a celebrity flag football game during a pandemic

 

Just the fact that they're doing these super bowl week events bothers me.
