but yah, the more I think about it, the main problem is Jericho's spot on the card and his implied influence. it's not different than the stuff that use to go on esp in the 00s and 10s and we wanted that out of wrestling so we have to have that same energy for Jericho regardless of fandom, no doubt.

agree with the first part, dunno about the latter but it's certainly possible. I don't think it's fair to blame a shitty pass for the rest of her issues but certainly could have been a factor in relapsing.

We won't ever know how much it if it was a factor, that's still open. I do think it directly leads to her leaving the company though and as such, a loss of her biggest opportunity in her career at the time. If I remember right she chose to, so she voluntarily did so because she didn't want to be around this gross old man who she didn't feel safe with. Couldn't have been easy

Yeah the Weinstein comparison is actually accurate in a lot of ways, he was bigger in his industry than Jericho obviously but early AEW Jericho was about as close as you can get

another thing too, and this is something my partner has talked to me about from the female pov. It's also a question of embarrassing someone at their place of work. From their pov, they wanna go to work and do their job, not be hit on at their profession. doubly so by person with influence who could torpedo your career. but even without that, women don't want to be asked out at work in front of their peers or want to go into work with the fear she may get harassed for a date or sex. it's very uncomfortable and makes them feel like an object as opposed to part of the workplace or team. It's worth thinking about.

yeah if that's how it went down and was the reason for her departure, that's fucking awful. I only wish it was reported and dealt with, but I'll not blame her for choosing to walk away instead, especially considering the other stuff she was and still is dealing with.

I don't think anything will come of it though, at most Jericho voluntarily takes time off until people forget. It's probably too late to do any kind of investigation. It would really just depend on if Kylie speaks about it, I think that's the only way anything would happen. No one's going to do shit if it's just Hausman

Or if other women come forth, I'd assume not in the company for the reasons we already mentioned, but anyone in the company speaking up would probably be the end of Jericho

I’m glad Hausman isn’t getting off here either. Lots of fans coming after him for holding onto this. Like if you know something, fucking say something. Don’t be a bitch and hold onto it and only speak because the person said something you don’t like. Like if Jericho never mad him mad, none of this comes out. Fuck that

I feel bad about doubting parts of how bad it may have been, but that's only because I wish the messenger was different and not done out of retaliatory malice. It adds doubt and messiness to a very serious situation that should not be mocked or used as a way to burry someone over personal issues. It's disrespectful to the potential victim and makes people have to doubt and defend possible abuse because it was reported in a petty way. What a fucked up way to drag both parties through the mud

The only way he can save face is if Kylie says she didn't give him permission until now. Doubtful but possible, he certainly shouldn't have said anything if she didn't want him to at any point

to add to this messyness, Kylie is a big fan of you know who, so ppl will rush from both fanbases to attack defend

The person I feel bad for here though is definitely Kylie. Not just because it potentially ruined her biggest career opportunity, but I mean having someone who at the time was almost twice her age, doing that, when you already have dealt with a lot in life. Just hope she’s doing okay in her life

Also cuz now no matter what she does in her career now she’ll only be known for this. I’m sure Twitter is already full of shithead “who?” Subtweets

From what I seen, most people are supporting her, and only say shit about Jericho and Hausman. I’ve also not searched Kylie’s name, so they could be. I just rather not see it as it will piss me off
