Here's an actual question for people here who are in the wrestling business, is it standard for workers to undergo background checks on prior to being booked?

I've gone through a background check several times for different jobs, and it doesn't seem like a necessary expense for a one off independent wrestling show. I had never heard of either of these guys prior to Saturday, so I don't know if its common knowledge about their criminal issues as their existence isn't common knowledge. 

Omega issued a press release apologizing for booking them. He denied any knowing of their criminal record. He offered a refund and said  they wouldn't appear on any shows he promotes in the future. I'm not exactly sure what more could be done to clean up the mess from a PR stand point. 

A background check costs about what they are probably booking most guys for. So it would easily double their talent expenses. I have a friend that worked Kentucky indies and he said his biggest payoff ever was $40. A background check is about $20 from what I saw. 

A guy on reddit said they would just show up to fill a spot on a card and no one even knew who they were.

It's another way of saying cuck. Because, of course, masculinity is also determined by what one eats. 

So, basically, anyone who cares or gives a shit or holds people accountable for the wack shit that they do is a cuck, a soyboy or a SJW. 

And we can file all that crap under right-wing, edgelord bullshit. 

Can it, Corpses.

lol thank you for proving me correct, my soy-consuming friend.  Now get a sense of humor.

Nobody is holding anyone accountable for anything here though. It's all just lip service. This story isn't "big" news. It's just this week's thing to talk about. It isn't on anyone's radar in the outside world.

The *only* people discussing it will gladly move on when the next hot Omega match hits. Because they might care enough to be offended by this shit, but they don't care enough to get left out of the loop on that next six star match.

It's that fear of missing out. Right now, they're really outraged, but not really. They'd rather watch & rate and review that next Omega match than stay upset about this stuff.

In what way is this a big deal to anyone outside of the niche-within-a-niche New Japan fans? It's not. And no one is going to boycott NJPW or stop supporting Omega, so it's all such a pointless exercise.

The guy likely made an honest mistake. He tried to talk his way out of it and either lied or misremembered details. Either way, he admitted fault and tried to move on. A bunch of people pretending they'll stay mad at him over it is just silly.

"Screw Omega! He's such a scumbag! There's just no way around it. The next time I pay to see him wrestle, I'm going to have to personally enjoy it a half star less!"

I think refunding tickets is holding yourself accountable, they could be taking a bath on that depending upon how many people request refunds. The show only drew 3,000. With the cost of the venue, international flights for talent from overseas, talent costs, etc. The show might be barely breaking even anyways but giving refunds could be a huge loss. 

And as for the two wrestlers in question, are they ever getting booked again after this sort of backlash? I would assume not. 

So there will be some sort of financial consequences but no boycotts, no main stream media coverage. 

Also I am now more confused. What is a cuck or a SJW? I thought i was pretty up to date with my insults and slurs. Obviously not.

Ok so I just went on urban dictionary to clear all of this up. "Soys" is short for Soy-Boy.  Soy boy is just an insult for effeminate straight males. Got it. 

"Cuck" is short for cuckold, which is 9 Corpses Hang in the Mist's most used search term on pornhub and an activity he himself fantasies about yet cannot find other willing participants to join him in. It is also an insult for male democrats. Got it.

Oof that's a hell of a lot of projection, bro.  Especially since I didn't even call anyone a 'cuck.' :lol:

I mean, what better way to garner heat than to say people have man boobs while not being afraid to have your own nice pair, while at the same time being such a grifter that you are betting on the impotence of your fanbase in order to make $? It's almost a commentary within itself.

9 Corpses so don't deny that cuckolding is what you are into? Its ok if you are, people around here are pretty accepting. 

 

Also are you yourself a user of male enhancement? Your flacidity could explain much of your anger towards women.

Alright I was joking before about you projecting, but now I genuinely think you are.  When did I say ANYTHING about women? :blink:
