Unfortunately, if reports are to be believed Vinny Mac is hugely into Matt so he's not gonna get fired or depushed anytime soon.

Bix made a great point on Twitter: If Riddle admitted to having an affair with Candy last year (which he already lied about) What was the thing Dave said WWE knew about when they signed him Because they didn't sign him last year, they signed him in mid-2018

What's surprising that Vince would like him? Everything about Riddle that raises flags for me or makes my skin crawl is something I expect Vince and HHH and WWE to love. And that he's also a dude who at best cheats on his wife and then acts like some kind of victim and calls his mistresses crazy? This is like toxic male rear end in a top hat dream.

I don’t know, I was just under the impression from various reports that at least Vince wasn’t a fan of him. But I could certainly see the sexual assaults and cheating and unrepentance as a huge plus for them.

It just strikes me that Riddle is the modern version of that thing Vince and WWE and wrestling have always loved. In the 80s it was big muscled up linebackers like the Road Warriors. Tough guys and badasses. In 2020 its "bros" who don't give a poo poo and have real fighting backgrounds. And if they treat women like garbage and play victim about it? Bonus.

Remember when Drew McIntyre got punished for not hitting his then-wife? Of course Vince would be loving this poo poo with Riddle.

fadmonkey posted:I think that if #Speaking Out were to hit more mainstream outlets there would probably be more WWE stories coming out. It seems like this is circulating in a wrestling bubble, which is why so many indies are getting hit because indy fans are the ones paying attention. Can you imagine how many stories aren’t getting out because people don’t know there is a movement going on? As for Riddle...yeah, what WAS Meltzer talking about and who told him that, because Riddle's current story (Cartwright made up the rape allegation as part of her stalkery revenge on him for ending the affair, which we know ran into last year) doesn't mesh with him telling WWE the allegation was out there when he signed in summer 2018. And how the hell did nobody tell him not to wear SPLX poo poo for the time being, much less IN THAT VIDEO?

I think Riddle just doesn’t give a gently caress about anything so Vince can’t rattle him and that is historically endearing to Vince for whatever reason.

Eh, we'll see if Vince still likes Riddle after six months, aka how long it usually takes for him to get bored with talent not named Roman Reigns or Charlotte.

Vagabundo posted:Remember when Drew McIntyre got punished for not hitting his then-wife? Of course Vince would be loving this poo poo with Riddle. This doesn't get mentioned enough. Vince McMahon punished Drew McIntyre professionally for doing the right thing in his private life. And probably laughed about it backstage too. What sort of culture does this build in his company? How does that make other wrestlers who would want to speak out, or otherwise do the right thing feel? Knowing that they are likely to be punished for not laughing hard enough about the "pussy who didn't hit his girlfriend back so we fired him". So congrats and huge respect for all those brave enough to have come forward and Speak Out.

The last I've heard about Darby is he showed Tony some texts or DMs to back himself up and I guess it was good enough? I still feel weird about it though.

I don't think someone calling out AEW for not suspending Darby and Justin Roberts is likely to be intentionally using racist dogwhistles but yeah that's kind of a weird way to describe Sammy just say he's a young prospect in the main event heel stable or something

As lovely as it sounds, some of it might be that they can't confirm or contact the anonymous victims, which gives the "oh here are my exonerating texts" argument no chance to be disproven. This is especially true if the person was being manipulative and the abuse isn't as obvious in a text or DM context.

If you're going to choose to not believe victims then you are: - choosing to believe that a person you like was exonerated by some rumored text messages or "additional context" that the accused showed their billionaire boss who does not want to lose their talented TV stars. - choosing to believe that the person you don't like was proven guilty by a photo timestamp that can be edited with a number of App Store apps, or with the built in tools on a Mac. Both of these pieces of information are pretty much at the same level of hearsay, and judging them as if they're not is clearly in bad faith.

spongeh posted:If you're going to choose to not believe victims then you are: The second bit is completely inaccurate. What proves the same day isn't the photo timestamp, it's a tweet by Riddle on the day the photo timestamp is (and way after he claims he told WWE about Candy) where he's wearing the exact same shirt, has the same hair length, and the same headphones as in the photo where he's with his "stalker".

If there's like real tangible evidence or multiple parties I think it advances the issue beyond "he said, she said." I think that's the case with Roberts and I'm very uncomfortable with AEW staying quiet on him. I don't know about Darby. I don't remember if any direct accusation came out against him or if there was any kind of evidence. But I do feel uncomfortable about the idea of some private "evidence" that supposedly exonerated that we are to take on faith. Especially given the lack of action on Roberts.

Alright, that's fair. Are you choosing to believe that this unseen exonerating evidence that only the accused and a billionaire have seen then? I choose to believe Darby's accusations, Riddle's accusations, and Justin Robert's accusations. Do you?
