Wow, Bix. First K.Rool, then Steve and now SEPHIROTH? Your dream game is real!

Sucks now that Joey is trying to ship a Shlak redemption story to promoters/indy writers apparently. gently caress this boys in the back culture that allows nazis/rapists into companies/bookings.
I can't speak for anyone else, but personally, he asked me if I'd be willing hear out Shlak a few months ago (nothing about doing an article) and never mentioned it again after. And that was a spur of the moment thing.

Shlak is really beyond defending at this point and I'm guessing that will take hold more widely within wrestling after the latest thing. Even if someone wants to play devil's advocate (and I do get the vibe that he was doing the LGBT show to try to get "the real Shlak" or whatever in front of people), he is still completely unable to do anything other than trip over himself with this stuff. That said, I do believe that those were defending him generally did so because they genuinely believe that he's not (currently) a Nazi or Nazi sympathizer as opposed to not caring about it or agreeing with views like that.

He's still working a tag team named domestic violence in an attempt to be edgy. Even if he's not a nazi (he's a nazi) he has a lovely boys club attitude that makes wrestling uncomfortable for everyone but a small group of people.

how old is the picture of shlak doing the nazi salute. I don't want to post it because it's offensive to me and others, but i'm sure most people who know about him have seen it. How much age does that pic have on it?

Shlak said it was 15 years old in a statement last year.

Kinda lines up if it is from when he was in a band. At least before 2010.

interesting. That picture is older than many people. Quite a bit of folks actually. But it's not older than me or my morals

Hence "I'm guessing that will take hold more widely within wrestling after the latest thing."

Re: the posts about the photo, I get the impression that, in general, there is some confusion about how old it is because a lot of people don't realize that he's almost 40. He got a VERY late start in wrestling. That's not a defense, just an assessment of something that I think probably muddied up the situation.

Being almost 40 years old makes the fact he thinks "domestic violence" is a funny tag team name even more embarrassing

RISE owner Kevin Harvey posted:

For better or worse, one thing I think any fans or followers of RISE will give me for all my faults is I have always been honest with them, both in the good times and the bad. I have been able to break awesome, exciting news. And I’ve had to drop news that’s sad and disappointing.

I wish I could tell you this was one of those exciting bits of news. But, again, there’s that honesty thing.

Originally designed to be a discovery and development program for SHIMMER, to date, 34 talents who have received opportunities from SHIMMER were discovered through our program.

We have been able to develop a relationship with STARDOM. 6 women who made positive impressions upon our company and representatives from STARDOM have been selected for a tour of Japan in just a few weeks.

And recently, one of our own made her debut in IMPACT Wrestling after proving herself to IMPACT Management on hand for our Pittsburgh Seminar and tapings. And there are several other talents whose names are in consideration for future opportunities.

And yet, despite all that, our Seminars, the very backbone of our company, are all but completely bare. Even after lowering prices compared to RISE 5, 6, and 7, the RISE 8 and RISE 9 Seminars combined are not even half the attendance of any prior individual Seminar we’ve held.

Here is what it all boils down to.

100% of the revenue from all RISE Seminars, video and merchandise sales (outside of revenue donated to fundraisers) was put back into the company.

I am not a rich guy. I make a reasonable five-figure living and I did my damndest to keep this thing going. I would love to tell you I can do this forever. But, there it is again. It’s that honesty.

As of this writing, the plans are to still move forward with RISE 8, RISE 9 and RISE – ASCENT Tapings through July 8. Too many wheels are already in motion to change this now. And, somehow, some way, this will all pull together.

Also as of this writing, I have pulled all tickets from the online store for RISE 10 – INSANITY, originally slated for October 19 in Berwyn. It is my goal NOT to cancel this event. Should that happen, tickets will be refunded for those who have purchased already.

But, if I’m being honest with myself and all of you, there is a nearly 100% chance that July 8’s RISE – ASCENT Tapings will be the last RISE Event, and that just breaks my heart in ways I cannot articulate.

He loving better

I want the one guy to do his "jump from the ground, to the apron, then clear the top rope" spot and have everyone in the match stop what they're doing and try to copy it

I think the best response to that GIF on Twitter was some wrestler who was like "I can do that, but gently caress, I just don't want to"

PWG already did their final Legion Hall show. Now let's hope for that bigger building...(if it's the Globe Theater again, then you should be all good)
