One of the best things I ever saw a veteran tell trainees was kenny omega telling a school he was visiting "we're not going to do bumps because we're not being paid so why the gently caress would we be taking bumps" and he proceeded to show them hammerlock transitions and I watched every student improve over the hour he spent with them.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Yeah, I have no idea if that video is still online anywhere but it was pretty great. Mainly Wrestlepro guys, Nick Stapp and I think Statlander were in it

For a further example of why that video is so fake, people have said it was Quack himself who was the one using the word re***d about his "friend" Steve The Turtle. Takes some balls to cry about something you are acting like only other people did when you did it.

A bunch of my friends in college loved a song called "Baby Raper" so loving much.

I gradually grew apart from them.

Lost Prophets fans, eh?

In all seriousness, I grew up in the country around a bunch of dirtbags and even the scummiest of the bunch didn't use "rape" in the context of wanting to hook up with someone. It would get used to mean beaten at something or ripped off, which is still lovely, but never in the context Sammy used it.

Throw Solo Darling in the dumpster too. She's coming out defending Quack. There is nothing in that video that comes anywhere close to qualifying as "real"

https://twitter.com/SoloDarling/status/1276907469659389952

What's even more garbage about Solo defending this is the story about Travis Huckabee, Solo's CHIKARA tag team partner, in the comments. I think a guy Solo used to valet for, Andy Baker, was accused too. To see her defend Quack is really disheartening.

Given that he won't address the accusations of emotionally manipulating people with claims of being suicidal and other lovely behavior his story doesn't seem to check out.

He expected people to believe that even though he is an active Reddit mod online almost every day that somehow his FB and Twitter were hacked for over a year and being used by some kid who didn't even follow wrestling to harass women. He claimed to have filed a police report, which should be the easiest way to call him out

UK wrestlers are looking to unionize under Equity

https://ukff.com/topic/140889-wrestling-metoo-speakingout/page/41/?tab=comments#comment-3329868

quote:

What I do know at this point is that Equity are holding a meeting with several female wrestlers tonight, and have spoken to wrestlers they have a pre-existing relationship with in order to best facilitate that, and to ensure the right people are being represented. My understanding is that it will be the first of several meetings, and that Equity are taking all of this very seriously, and looking to further include wrestling in their existing Safe Space and anti-harassment policies. Equity reps at the meeting will include parliamentary liaisons, lawyers specialising in harassment and abuse in the entertainment industry, and long-standing Equity members with experience of tackling harassment in other entertainment fields.

He claims he was not hacked his identity was merely stolen when I asked why he was daring to promote his show based on speaking out. He was very insistent he wasn't hacked!

I wouldn't classify those people as "leftists" at all

It's misrepresenting yourself to satisfy ulterior motives

Has nothing to do with politics - criminals are going to deceive to reach their goals

It's like how on the right people become preachers to sucker their congregation into giving them money - they don't believe half the poo poo they say

So yeah - Identity Politics is the soapbox of the left, Religion is the soapbox of the right. Both can be abused.

Capitalism allows such opportunists to exist

Holding both a Public Opinion and Private Opinion is the mantra of all Capitalists, left and right

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

The entire "actual leftist" thing is a problem. David Starr DOES have leftist politics. They probably weren't some con to help him be an abuser. He just happens to ALSO be an abuser. The two aren't linked but they're also not mutually exclusive.

Once you start thinking your side is "pure" you blind yourself to the problems inherent in any large group and open the group up to being abused or harboring abusers. Its ok to say some leftists are bad people. It doesn't take away from the politics, it enhances your ability to stand for what is important and not make excuses for assholes.

Which has nothing to say about that problematic "identity politics" swipe.

Predators can exist in both capitalist and socialist spaces/societies. The framework of capitalism makes it easier for those abusers and predators to hide and inflict their abuse on their victims, but you can't assume that every leftist that gets outed as an abuser/predator was actually not a leftist all along because that's how they hide in the first place.

DSA (which Starr is a member of) isn't "actual leftist" politics, but that's an argument for another forum - it's a movement trying to reform the Capital-supporting Democratic Party. Socialists and Communists would rather the Democratic Party die entirely.

And yeah I agree that people can support a movement and be bad people. Starr using politics to improve his own image/hide his demons is not universal to him.

I would never defend someone being an rear end in a top hat, even if they were part of a movement I supported.

I'll gently caress off back to CSPAM with the politics. If you ever want to talk burning down the establishment, we're always open
