Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 408

Fair play. Still doesn’t seem enough, though

 

Depends, imo. If one of people involved is using their power/stature within the business to

i disagree entirely. A gimmick based around your opponent grabbing your dick and being ‘beaten’ by it is dumb, and yeah, predatory. Particularly when Joey has so much clout on the indie scene and within things like PWG.

 

until your negligence in the ring gets someone hurt, or driving drunk/under influence kills others? the wrestlers with this problem had it long before they did anything to anyone else. having a stable program will be a positive gateway for people that are unwell mentally to go seek advice before getting to the point that they say/do something to someone else, whether it's alcohol, substances, or mental health that could lead to physical harm.

 

Honestly this is a good first step - obviously if he doesn’t learn he’ll be gone then

 

I cannot help but wonder what would happen to me if I openly said on a recorded podcast that I saw another beer rep and said out loud “damn I want to rape her.” Like, I’d lose my job in an instant.

Fuck Sammy and I don’t think AEW did enough there. My $0.02 though.

 

Yup, this is what made me realize how absolutely fucked it is.


I apologize to anyone if it came off like I was defending that behavior at all.

Fucking terrible

 

Sure doesn’t help make that tag team name sound all that appealing now...

This Undertaker stuff is bugging me. That seems like a bad way for him to retire if it really is happening.

he deserves it to be in the ring. It has to be that way imo

 

I was also hoping he’d be fired but I guess (not that I agree with this) that they didn’t fire him cuz he wasn’t an AEW employee then but even then that’s a super weak defense

 

Completely unsurprising, honestly. Curious how that contract with WWE is structured. Either way, I'd be insanely shocked if Fox renews with WWE whenever that deal is up.

 

I agree that it’s dumb, and in hindsight predatory. But I don’t think we should feel ashamed for not thinking he was a predator without testimonies to that effect.

 

They didn’t fire him because they know it will unfortunately blow over and fans will forget about. Same thing with multiple WWE guys, like Orton’s dick handshakes.

it’s fucking disappointing though, I was hoping AEW were going to be better. Guess fucking not.

 

See this is what I was trying to say back when the Bray shit was revealed but everyone said I was wrong!

 

As a bright spot in a world of not great things in wrestling this week, SHO vs. Shingo from today's NJ Cup show absolutely fucking ruled.

 

So with no backstage, does that mean fox pays cm punk to sit on his couch for the rest of the year?

 

Oh shit viper gonna punt Ric

 

Of course WWE still couldn’t give Asuka a clean win over Charlotte

 

I can’t believe the only post in here about Raw tonight is from the guy who hates Raw!

but I do enjoy that you watched the Charlotte match!

anything worth watching tonight?

 

I wasn’t watching raw - I just saw it from my twitter feed lol

 

Trying to cheer everyone up in the midst of everything and everyone being awful...

 

Yeah cuz that’s what will shake Raw up, getting rid of the fresh faces and let’s throw in Dolph

 

Vince must love Tozawa. Charlotte has come a long way on the mic. I remember I couldn’t stand her when she first came up

 

Nattie reposted this. Shocked Bayley has almost 100 more wins than Charlotte

And who knew the street profits and Viking raiders could put on a good match if you just let them???

 

So the match was actually pretty good. And Charlotte tapped! Injury angle or not, that’s pretty big. No interference or distraction or the usual bullshit. Asuka looked dominant.

The bad news is it looks like they are turning Charlotte face. At least for this feud with Nia
