Yeah, it felt like Joey Ryan had such a wall of "I'm aware of what this looks like, we're acknowledging it and addressing it" like that I just assumed it would hold up. I wasn't even a huge fan of the guy but I more than once stuck up for him on this board or with other fans that he seemed to be ok.

But in light of all this it seems like Ryan either lies to himself with all that public stuff or he's intentionally using it as cover for his private poo poo. And I personally feel a little lovely for buying in and advancing it.

I wouldn't beat yourself up too much. Most of us as fans only ever saw what Joey wanted us to see. Without these stories coming out most of us would have had no idea how terrible he really was behind the scenes.

Are there any feds, big or small, that we know to be run by actual good people who are doing their best to prevent toxic backstage culture? I don't want to give up on wrestling but I don't want to support the toxic sludge that represents most of this business right now.

I've yet to hear a bad word about CHocoPro, and I'd imagine more than a few small local indies aren't run by dirtbags, they just aren't heard of because they're small local indies.

When stuff like this happens is their any concern that a troll would completely make something up that can’t really be proven false and ruin someone’s career?

It seems like one false anonymous allegation could really destroy someone.

I’m taking all the allegations that come out as fact but it is unnerving how easy it would be to ruin someone’s life if you wanted to

False accusations pop up every so often and by and wide they've never gone anywhere. The talking point of "someone could be ruined if they're falsely accused" is largely a myth.

Being petty, but I think I'm allowed to be petty

Either way is correct :eng101:

The 2 L version is pretty common but 1 L is still correct as I've always understood it.

WWE's pretty clearly letting Riddle hang himself at this point. I don't know if they're doing much with him on TV but this strikes me as them keeping a pretty good distance from Riddle without outright firing him.

Not saying that's particularly good or bad, just how it seems.

I have several friends who say Matt Riddle was exonerated. From what I remember when I was following this, that was some bullshit. But I haven't been paying attention for a few months. Riddle is still a bad guy, right?

I could be wrong but I don't think any of Riddle's accusations crossed the line to full criminal investigation. That doesn't really 'exonerate' him, I suppose, but there you are.

E: oh wow that sent way late. Yeah ignore me.
