Yes. They had a purpose until the introduction of quote tweets and people used them for awhile after out of habit.

The President was doing them in 2015.

Brody King being a secret racist feels unshocking for some reason.

Honestly had no idea how old Brody King is but it turns out he's 31, so he made those when he was 23. Thought those might have been dumb teen tweets at first.

As a 24 year old, I stand behind the tweets I made as a 23 year old and attest that I did not use a racial slur, soft or hard, at that age

Oh yeah dude, the super complicated and tough to tackle moral decision of not calling someone gay as an insult. Like, I hope he's less of an idiot and has it figured out now but being 23 in 2010 and not knowing that's a poo poo thing to do is laughably undefendable.

When I was 16 I had the common sense to not call people the r, f, or n words, and frankly it's wild in my near-30s now to see people in their 20s be regularly excused for that behavior as being too young to comprehend their actions or words lmfao

I mean, the notion that it was cool for someone to use some universally recognized racial and homophobic slurs in 2010 because you were only 23 years old and that you could only avoid using the n word if you were sheltered, pampered elite is pretty peak 2018 poo poo.

we're talking about a generation raised on Jackass and Southpark, there's a pattern of acceptable social behavior that we're seeing being adjusted. It does not absolve Brody from saying dumb poo poo, but he should at least have had the presence of mind to clean up after himself.

Beyond show from tonight (#PleaseComeBack) was a blast and probably worth watching if you have VOD or whenever it shows up on Youtube

best matches were Josh Briggs vs Curt Stallion and John Silver vs Kris Statlander were probably the 2 best matches on the card

it was basically a show dedicated to breaking new people into the promotion, every match except the 4 way was between a Beyond wrestler or tag team and a newcomere. The 4 way was longtime Beyond team EYFBO (TNA's LAX) against 3 newcomers

they also had a couple of matches of wrestler who tried out earlier in the day to start each half of the show (though the first one might be a dark match on the powerbomb side)

They fired him and then brought him back a few months later and stopped using him when people got mad, but really wanted to keep using him.

One of their announcers was a pimp, and they tried to bring him back after it came out. I believe the promoter has said he believes the pimp in question has been treated unfairly.

Had he been pulling a Moolah or were the women he was pimping unrelated to wrestling? Both are terrible but if he was Moolahing their wrestlers and they wanted him back that's straight up incomprehensibly horrid.

I know for a fact that Stuttsy wasn't a pimp, so that makes me pretty doubtful about the "stealing money from his wife" stuff.

Ok, sure buddy.



And even if the rumors of the Backpage ring were not true he still suggested a female CWF employee engage in sexual activity for money.

ok let me see IIRC: Stuttsy was associated with a dude that allegedly was trafficking and running a shindie, some sponsors for Novapro got wind of it and raised a stink forcing Gent Mike to let Stuttsy go.

Now, if I understand this correctly, Gent Mike has been using his wife's money(this might not be illegal under local laws) because he wasn't able to pay wrestlers off the house?
