How is someone going to be able to realistically dub over the entirety of Jerry Lawler?
I assume this is for otherwise unobjectionable matches ruined by some local shitbird trying out their Jerry Lawler material.

Though it would be an interesting sort of oppositional-reading project to try to redub a bunch of early 2000s Paddle on a Pole/Gravy Bowl Bra and Panties Spanking Match type dreck with new commentary that attempted to turn it into an equitable and empowering wrestling bout.

Who knows but that's exactly what happened with Brodus Clay. He was apparently a huge creep with Alison Bree and Betty Gilpin.

Broadus got a foxnews hosting job and his co-host there has accused him too. he and foxnews were both sued by Britt McHenry in 2019.

Like Dave/Bryan I really want to know what WWE had on Jack Gallagher that made him the only one (from WWE) to lose his job over this stuff. Or, I guess I should say, I don't really want to know.

He owned up to it more than likely. I've followed one of his victims on Twitter for years, and after another victim of his brought out a story the same time she did. I read he apparently tried to contact one of the two with a "I was blackout drunk I don't remember this night" apology so he probably just, I don't want to say "fessed up" because all the fuckbois are giving halfass "boohoo i drink and/or have mental issues" apologies but I guess came "clean" enough to corporate that he knew the boot was coming

Not necessarily; remember, he just happened to get a lot of wrestling-themed roles because he was LA-based. Like the "Wildman" Jack Armstrong of his generation.

That was my guess too. That and a combination of him being somebody they felt comfortable firing because he's a nobody.

In case anyone else doesn't want to see it again either, the statement from Joey Ryan being mentioned in a tweet above is just the words from his tweet from before he deleted his account. Still alluding to at least some things being lies, saying he tries very hard to make wrestling a safe place, etc.

Did anyone post Jared Evans speaking out about MJF? I understand this thread is focused on sexual assault type of behavior but abuse is abuse. Continually telling someone to kill themselves and using "gay" as a slur. Jared also outs himself as saying bigoted and awful things about Jewish people.

It's a real lovely thing all around and you do wonder how much of it is excuses. I guess I can see why if this hasn't been posted before but it seems worth having eyes on it no matter where you land.

Unsurprisingly, the Joey Ryan Memorial Episode of BTE has been deleted.

Yet another Joey Ryan story

https://twitter.com/slaymysterio/status/1274944571798179840

And here are the clips from the Candice and Joey show that Vanessa Kraven mentions in her notes. Definitely lingers on her a bit and she just doesn't look comfortable at all near the end of the first clip.

I'm curious if Excalibur squashed that. I've always been curious as to why Joey just suddenly stopped appearing in PWG and then opened his own promotion.

Also from an indie in LA regarding the venue Bar Wrestling used

Down below in a reply to Bix, the venue replied that they would just hire more security.

I must respectfully disagree with this proposal; I feel that something as contemptible as Joey Ryan has demonstrated himself to be doesn’t deserve to be purified in the nuclear fire of the sun. maybe chuck him out into the Oort Cloud or something

i sort of feel wrong to have posted that in here in hindsight. sounds like a real lovely situation between people who all acted like pieces of garbage and in those circumstances it makes sense to not just have one side of the story. the guy says they all insulted eachother a lot from the get. but it seems like mjf didn't ever let up even when asked to. i dunno. been making a lot of mistakes lately. not cut out for posting about things that matter.

I saw that earlier and thought about posting it. Feels like something MJF should just apologize to that dude privately for though. I do think it should be here though so people can judge for themselves.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


the MJF story feels more like lovely people playing Shithead Chicken with each other until one of them takes it too far. It sounds like a lot of feelings were hurt and probably those guys need to sit down and hash it all out, but it feels like a very different thing from the rest of what's in this thread.

I'm not familiar with the band but a quick google search indicates the lead singer has an uncomfortable habit of getting handsy/being inappropriately intimate with much, much younger fans. I didn't see if there was anything overtly sexual but to be honest I really didn't want to look too deeply into that to find out, and there might have been more beyond the stuff I found that I was unaware of.

Also did a quick search and looks like the lead singer, 51, was emotionally relying a 21 year old fan? I think? And someone threatened to shoot the lead singer too I guess??? I think we looked at the same thing, I did a quick scan too and I can't make sense of it

I assume there's something different since underage was mentioned?

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Mostly seems to come from this tumblr post, with a few other stories from other people on the same blog if you look in the tags. Basically befriending much younger fans specifically to send them weird emotional venting messages, and a couple people mentioned being hugged too often or in ways they didn't like. Seems like he was pretty lovely and emotionally mistreating some very vulnerable fans, but probably not as badly as you're expecting from "the underage stuff".
