Gotta get the jokes in, bubba! But you're right. IMPACT does feel miles ahead of the Perc Angle era. I occasionally watch some stuff here and there, and it feels like it's overall better. I'm not sure if the #SpeakingOut movement factors in. Considering that her being cut was after she just didn't bother to record a promo from her home, the reason seems more like "y'know this just ain't worth it" than an attempt at improving the locker room culture there.

how does this company continue to exist how is tessa such an asshole that even a company who let angle almost die think she's not worth the trouble

Tenta wasn't even 30 in this video which blows my mind. And I *love* how Kitao wants to go for the eye poke. Classic heeling!

there's something bizarrely funny about how fucking tone-deaf this is let's honor THE DEADMAN when our talent is sick with the plague!!!!

Look the death rate might be less than 5% here in Brazil but our hospitals are operating at maximum capacity already and that's where the danger lies: if your town can handle 100 people in the ICU, but there are 150 in need of intensive treatment, things will get grim. Hell, it may be that no one in WWE will have severe symptoms. They might infect others, who will infect others who will infect others. Suddenly, the hospitals are overcrowded and decisions of who to treat will need to be made.

To me that's the catch. I believe many accusations say that one of the reasons they didn't come forward before is that he *is* a big name in the indies, especially in SoCal, I believe. Going up alone against him would be suicide. Ain't that, in part, the "boys will be boys" dismissal? Like, people normalize shit to the point they are taken as something that just happens, despite being actual crimes, just because the offender is a nice wrestler or something. Look, there are some who people still campaign for Chris Benoit to be in the Hall of Fame, despite murdering his wife and kid. It wouldn't be surprising if someone knew about Joey Ryan and just shrugged it off.

Absolutely. If we're being honest it's probably like twice the amount of people he's victimized in one way or another.

Honestly, Candice might be the one person he was making the effort of hiding things from. But what about the others? Everyone says there is a "boy's club" mentality still going around, but not a single one of hi peers knew about it?

Joey Ryan has SIXTEEN accusations against him. It's bad enough as it is, but NOT A SINGLE PERSON was aware of it? With wrestling's "boys will be boys" mentality? Come on. Like, with the sheer amount of victims and the popularity the dude had, it's just hard for me to believe that not one person knew about anything.

Hey guess doing a braindead decision of not testing people, not having masks and other stupid shit really is paying off

Bull James also has been accused of some shady shit.

@El Dragon, thanks for filling me in, bubba. I saw people really heartbroken that CHIKARA, of all places, was home to such horrific behavior.

It seems CHIKARA is also under fire but I'm not sure about the specifics EDIT: Found it, I think. Harsh stuff

There's also the fact that, while the law states that a 16 year old can provide consent, the position of power between the parties must be taken into consideration. Scurll trained the girl at RevPro, so he did was in that position. Furthermore, it is mentioned that the girl was also intoxicated, which makes things even worse.

Man, Scurll's apology is quite something. "It's legal! I'm not doing anything wrong!" Just to put this shit in perspective: when Karl Malone raped and impregnated a 13 year old girl, he was 20. Marty was 26 at the time, and the victim was 16.

Austin Theory is now being accused of making unsolicited advances... by a then 13 year old child. Holy shit.

Yeah, the core of the story seemed correct, but at the same time what was reported became such a joke, and he was so mocked for that, the going to the 'E wasn't even his lowest point. What I mean is that there was no credibility to lose there, even if the situation was a tad unfair.

Nothing harmed him more than reporting that Sasha and Bayley were crying on the floor, and IIRC that was before he was officially in the WWE.

I gotta say, Bruce Prichard is handling Raw really well. Funny that

IIconics are actually good now. Ever since coming back they've been really good in those tag matches. Asuka vs Sasha let's gooooooooooo

Saraya Knight also has some allegations going on against her. This was the latest one I found out about. https://twitter.com/therichwhiting/status/1275100211736608768/photo/1

Liv Morgan I chose to be a fan

Nattie is not good.

YES FUCKING FINALLY

Garza and Charlie's interactions are always amusing.
