Al Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Also many victims are not eager to prosecute as the experience can be exposing and traumatic. Without the participation of the victim courts have trouble garnering a conviction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 4 hours ago, MoS said: He is alleging that he was earning $20,000 per month prior to the allegations. In what universe is that even close to a realistic figure? The sheer gall. I really hope wrestling as a whole takes a stance against him. You don't think 240K a year sounds reasonable for a top independent draw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 He was also running Bar Wrestling, so *maybe* income from that plus what he was earning from his own bookings adds up to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Bologna Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 It's all in the lawsuit. Quote Ryan is claiming lost revenues of $8000-$10,000 in monthly wrestling bookings; $1000+ in monthly Twitch revenue; $500 in monthly Cameo revenue; $3000 in monthly Patreon revenue; $1000 in monthly merchandise revenue; and $3500 in monthly revenue from Bar Wrestling.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Serial sexual predator Joseph Meehan - better known as Joey Ryan, but we should use his real name exclusively from now on IMO so this follows him around - is suing Impact Wrestling. This isn't as low as what he did to those women, obviously, but it's still pretty shitty to potentially bankrupt a small indie organization with a frivolous false lawsuit.

NintendoLogic Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 The only thing remotely resembling evidence of wrongdoing by Ospreay came from IWL, and now they're walking it back. This is why you don't allow Twitter lynch mobs to be the arbiters of justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, but what I don't understand is how those twits at IWL could be confused about whether they were contacted by the venue or by Will. That would be pretty clear cut, no?

kas Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 IIRC their original story was always that the venue had contacted them on behalf of Ospreay and they heavily implied that Ospreay was the one behind it all. Now they've backtracked on the second part of that and are saying that Ospreay had nothing to do with it, only the venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Serial sexual predator and litigious douchebag Joseph Meehan (Joey Ryan) has started a GoFundMe called "Justice for Joey." I won't link to it, for obvious reasons, but this is a real doozy... Quote Justice for Joey Ryan $245 raised of $100,000 goal The 9ine is organizing this fundraiser. Created 2 days ago Accidents & Emergencies It happened almost overnight. A series of posts on Social Media, damning posts offering no evidence of any kind ended a man's 20 year career. Just like that, a handful of Tweets destroyed a man's way of living. No legal charges were filed. No arrests were made. No trial took place. Can you imagine losing your entire career, your life's work because someone Tweeted nasty things about you? Can you imagine losing your contract with a major television organization without so much as an opportunity to tell them your side of the story? Twitter would lead you to believe all should automatically "believe victims." The real world would lead you to believe anyone can type anything into Twitter at any time, all in the interest of the imaginary concept of "social justice." The real world has real justice. That real justice is served in the varying legal systems put in place by this wonderful country, The United States of America. We believe there are many like us. We believe there are many who support Joey Ryan, but have to do so from social media's shadows. A kind word, a voice of support or even a like of a social media post could result in becoming the next target of mobs of supposed "Social Justice Warriors" who would see to it such supporters and "tried and hanged" before a global audience all in the name of "social justice." We are here to represent those who support Joey Ryan, but have to do so anonymously. We are here to support real justice being served in courts, not on the screens of smart phones and computers. We are here to raise funds to help cover the vast legal fees associated with the necessary lawsuits filed by Joey Ryan to clear his name and receive compensation for what we believe to be wrongful termination. The choice to support Joey Ryan is yours, publicly or anonymously. Thank you for your consideration. There are no words. He has raised only $245, and it wouldn't surprise me if some of that came from his own pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Seems like not being a sexual predator to the point you make it your wrestling gimmick would be a good way to avoid "twitter social justice warriors" , but that's just me. Also the Twitter mobs have a better track record of dealing with sexual predators than the justice system at this point. Which is fucked up on its own, but doesn't mean Joseph here is innocent.

MoS Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 I don't mean to sound like I am shitting on religion, but what is with known sexual predators suddenly quoting scripture as they double down on their predator behaviour?

El-P Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Assholes always "find religion" later in life. i.e Shawn Michaels and many others. And then they aren't assholes anymore, see... Well, they can be anti-ask douchebags like Road Dogg and such still though... Also, Twitter mobs don't "deal" with sexual predators at all. Twitter mobster are awful, cowardly people "dealing" with anybody and anyone without the slightest idea of what they are talking about. "Popular justice" is always terrible because it has nothing to do with justice. Victims coming out and speaking out are dealing with sexual aggressors. They are the ones making things move.

Pterois Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Why was my post deleted ? Did I say something that doesn't please the mods and admins of this board ? Edit : I guess we're trying to cancel me. My opinion is that we should teach to male and female wrestlers not to flirt or to have sexe before their wedding or outside of wedding. If people in America and around the world only tried to have sex with their husband or wife, such scandal wouldn't occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pterois Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 You're only against talking about politics in PWO when people disagree with your views. If everybody agrees with your agenda (I'm not going to explain in detail what your agenda is but I guess you have an idea of what I'm thinking), you're ok if it's not pwo and we talk about non wrestling related topics such as sexuality and politics. If you read opinions that you don't like, suddenly it becomes PWO. Either we all can tell what we believe or nobody can't. Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 No one's trying to cancel you bro, teaching sex as only between husband and wife doesn't stop predator behavior, it only abuses  the woman further because then they are slut shamed for having sex outside marriage.

El-P Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 And anyway : marriage doesn't prevent sexual abuse. Women get sexually abused and raped by their husbands too. So there.

MoS Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 As Jerome said, marriage does not prevent sexual abuse. In fact, marriage can often be a veneer to justify sexual harassment. And as the others said, this trash does not belong here. Take your bullshit moral posturing and get the fuck out of here.
