kind of a shitty wizard...

I read a second hand domestic abuse allegation about Darby on Tumblr a couple years ago so it's hardly a new charge. He's also admitted to paying an addict to stick his head in an unflushed toilet and paying a guy to get pepper sprayed so the guy could afford a lawyer for his divorce.

His behaviour is defintely concerning all round.

Darby is the living embodiment of a cKy DVD in 2020, and all those DVDs are old enough to vote, so I absolutely believe anything I read about how he acts

yea ok

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?

i'm not sure who you're playing prosecutor with, but everyone's on your side here :)

That "blind" item was ridiculous and MorrisBae should have known better than to post it and I'm really not sure why they did.

They literally posted saying why they believed the accusations against Riddle, did you quote the wrong person? :confused:

I think what they're getting at is that if I believe the accusations against Riddle I should believe the ones against Darby and Justin Roberts too. To make it clear, I do, and I apologize if it came off as though I don't - I just thought it was worth posting that rumor in the face of the blind item post.

TBF that website is probably the #1 blind item resource online, and very often they reveal who BI's from months/years prior are about. That being said if you're one of the normies(using that term loosely) who follows the site but NOT wrestling you have to put in some legwork to get the dots connected.

Maybe he shouldn't have been probed for that if he added some context like that the site was now reporting on it. The allegations aren't new to us. But yeah, AEW needs to do something about Darby, Hager, and Roberts.

Jerusalem

Yeah, the post really needed some added context. Even something like,"Looks like AEW's handling of the Darby situation is starting to seep out to non-wrestling circles" or something like that instead of just dumping a quote that covered things we already know but with all the identifying names removed for no apparent reason.

I've heard of the site but wasn't aware the items they posted were legit things. So I don't think it's bad to post that here, since it might mean that AEW is gonna get more people looking at how they handled the allegations.

I agree. I can get why people could be upset about how that doesn't really seem to be providing any new information to us, anything that we don't already know, but that it's even circulated far enough that that place is pretty openly talking about how AEW's trying to sweep it under the rug (and under the guise of "haven't we pushed enough people") is 1) still noteworthy and 2) hopefully a sign that people won't forget about the accusations against him easily

It was newsworthy here when John Oliver talked about WWE and the Saudi deal, even though anyone reading this forum knew about that already. The newsworthy thing is that it's hit a mainstream source.

Extremely accurate is a bit much to describe blind items, they are frequently wrong but sometimes right.

Yeah, if that's the context, that it was being posted because it's hitting mainstream sources that makes more sense. I was reading it as kind of gross rubber necking due to previous posts.

Either way, it's kind of a bad probe imo too, I'd personally rather talk out something like that as a community that go make someone sit in timeout.

People need to understand this stuff so much more than they do. What used to be confined to sad Usenets is leaking into our culture in a big bad way and when you explain it to people they just go glazed like the information is bouncing off of them.

Sorta' like when you explain 1488 and the OK white power hand sign.

I was watching the news during a Trump rally a week or two ago and someone random on the screen had a Q sign and someone asked what that meant. So like... I tried to explain it and... eventually I'm getting rolled eyes and "you're a loony" and its like, I didn't bring up this poo poo! You saw it on tv! You asked what it meant! I just knew the crazy answer! I felt like I was losing my mind or something.

Keep in mind that the person sending in the bigger blind items to CDAN for years got doxxed, admitted he made his poo poo up, and killed himself. He lived in the midwest and wasn’t involved in the entertainment business at all. And as far as i know, the site owner never took down any of the made up poo poo or really acknowledged the situation. This was the guy people speculated was Robert Downey Jr.

You can go back and read items from years ago and see that the theme was “everybody in Hollywood is a secret junkie or secretly gay.” Now “it’s everybody is a pedophile.” I’ve always read that site the same way i listened to Coast to Coast.

Art Bell had more scoops in The Quickening than Crazy Days and Nights has ever had.

The hit rate of blind items might be 10%. Maybe, and that includes things that aren't real traditional blind items and are just re-stated news from other sources.

That whole Robert Downey Jr period was so loving bizarre. Just a bunch of people going “yes, it absolutely makes sense that Hayden Panetierre rents herself out to be beaten unconscious by boxers and Robert Downey Jr is telling me this”.

It was like reading about John Titor or the JFK Jr poo poo. From the outside looking it’s loving absurd how anyone could believe this.

As deeply, horrifyingly fascinating as this is (Robert Downey Jr!?!) it's kinda derailing the intent of the thread and we should get back on track.

Has AEW made any reference or acknowledgement of the Justin Roberts stuff? They took action with Sammy and I recall that it was at least stated that they were looking into the Darby stuff, but I don't recall seeing any reaction to Roberts, who they're also still actively using on television, right?

Yeah, why is AEW dragging their feet about Justin Roberts, of all people? He's a ring announcer and they have another one who's better at it. Cut his rear end loose, coward biceps Tony.

Not that it remotely justifies keeping him if he’s a piece of poo poo, but who is the one that is better?

When Dasha does it she sounds like a late 90s text to speech app just mashing together phonemes and I find her announcing really jarring to listen to.

I can't recall his name, but isn't the fella who does the Spanglish segments with Santana and Ortiz on BTE a backup announcer?

So in a weird twist one of the Riddles have created a twitter account solely for smearing Candy using the legal name of Jamie Senegal. The account is only followed by the marketing company that Riddle is signed to and another whose recovery email began with the letters ri***.
