KISS ME KRIS

Jay Briscoe threatened to shoot me, which is totally uncool.

He can say and think whatever he wants, that's within his right. However to do things in public area is to invite a reaction.

I get real nervous when people are forced into deleting their twitter accounts but his speech was provocative and had ramifications beyond his own mouth.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Briscoe was forced to do nothing. By all means he could have stood by his words and refused to apologize, and by all means he could have been fired for doing so. He decided making money was more important than standing by his lovely opinion. No one forced him to do anything.

I can't tell if Big E Langston is really into My Little Pony or if he's just kidding, hoping it's the latter.

Demanding people put up a shallow facade because someone can't handle words is the exact opposite of being open-minded and accepting and only encourages the mindset it's supposedly combating.

Jack Evans in his prime couldn't pull off the gymnastics you're doing right now.

Also Hulk Hogan is not very good at not walking into traps. He just retweeted this:

Does Hogan still sign his tweets?

I don't know why I'd compare him to Bruno but I loved how Bruno completely grasped the idea of twitter in a day and Hogan still doesn't seem to understand anything.

Bruno hasn't tweeted since April :(

He developed an annoying habit of of not showing up to ROH and PWG shows he was booked on after he got his AAA gig.

There is a difference between publicly saying "i'll shoot all gays and anyone else who tries to tell me those gays are people too." and whatever ridiculous redneck stuff you think he normally says.

His twitter account was also linked with his ROH roster profile page. They have an immediate responsibility because they were also inadvertently promoting that message. The only way the "he was off the job" defense would be valid is if he had a personal account and a "working" account.

Personally I can't wait for the self righteous internet justice squad to start saying that he didn't mean it, he was forced, it's bullshit etc etc and attempt to never let him live it down because this is America and you should be shamed for stupid stuff you say or do for the rest of your life, even if you apologize.

Yeah no, I know at least I personally feel like that was a genuine apology. Other than the "protect" comment which was a little :raise: it was pretty much as good as it could've been and I hope he genuinely thinks to himself that what he said was terrible and that he should open his mind a little, and until I see evidence to the contrary of this, I'll give Jay the benefit of the doubt.

Granted, I'm not gay, so...:shobon:

It started shaky and the line about playing characters was probably a bad thing to say, but those last words are what really hit hard, about how they teach you to love thy neighbor in his house.

Honestly, I believe he legitimately has a problem with homosexuality and meant he wanted to protect his kids from it, but I also believe that he realizes how stupid his words were and how they make him seem like an undesirable person. Ultimately, it's not like he's running for public office or anything - what goes on in his head and how he runs his household isn't a prolonged concern of mine now that he's admitted his mistake, shown remorse and apologized for it. And as long as he shows tolerance and respect on the matter going forward, well, that's all you can really ask of somebody.

Also I heard there were some signs like "Marry Me Jay" and "Shoot Me" at the show, and that they threw rainbow colored streamers at him. Obviously meant to be more light-hearted than antagonistic, so if everybody, including Jay, can take it in stride like that to move on, that's great.

It was very obviously meant to be antagonistic. Maybe not necessarily toward, Jay, but they were definitely trying to troll the average ROH fan.

I don't think the group even showed up until shortly before the main.

Ah I assumed it was just ROH fans taking the piss, but I'll take your word for it. What is it lately with people at wrestling shows who don't seem to be actual fans rather than obnoxious look-at-me stanleys?

Generally you shouldn't heel in public about a woman who you sexually harassed and has complained about it.

I would say that Aries is being a great heel here, except that whereas a great heel makes you want to watch their matches and see them get their comeuppance one day, I just want Aries to do something really dumb and end up getting fired.
