[MEGATHREAD] All the Wrestling scene's sexual assault allegations

[Smart Marx]

I was a fan of Joey but now I hope he rots and never has a career in wrestling ever again

I've already been praying for him to lose his career for years. Joey's the most likely of all these peeps to be done after this.

Bar Wrestling has essentially been canceled. If he can't even stream that, forget a solo career.

I’m just waiting for Ziggler to be named now.

People I’m a huge fan twice now. First Sammy, now Austin. Man, sucks.

Hoping he can get his name cleared. Cause I saw no proof she told him she’s 13. But damn man, if he’s out here doing this shit also I’m gonna be upset.

Unless I missed it I don't see the snaps either. Just a picture of them at a greet.

Like, I really really hope he ain’t do this shit.

People here know how much I been talking him up and everything. So I really need this to be false.

Tbh I really wouldn't be surprised about anyone I'm a fan having done a lot of creepy or flat out terrible shit. I don't really rate most wrestlers highly as good people. If guys like Bryan or Sami were the be accused (or god forbid actually proven guilty) then that would shock me just bc of how outspoken they are about most issues. But hypocrites do exist as well alas.

Would it make you stop being a fan of any of them?(if it’s proven to be true.)

I'm kinda around here somewhere as I don't think wrestlers are typically good people. A lot of domestic abusers and drug abusers in particular.

That's why I kinda miss the days before social media was really huge. You knew most entertainers were dirt bags, but you lived blissfully ignorant.

I do think sexual assault is a really heinous crime that sticks to people's minds so I still tend try to give reasonable doubt.

It wouldn't make me not enjoy things that I've already watched and enjoyed any less, maybe a bit at first and dependent on what they did. But I use Benoit as an example bc what he did was so fucking bad, and for a bit it was hard for me to watch his old stuff. After a year or two though, it really has no affect on me at all. So I imagine that would be the case here as well.

Now if they did it (or at least I think they did it whether proved or not), and they are still being used and pushed regularly then that would be more Could definitely see that affecting how entertained I am by them in the future, but as for past stuff then not so much.

I can watch a Benoit match now and it took me a really long time to be able to. I do not really "enjoy" his matches, however.

I can never not think this dude smoothed his baby with a pillow. No matter how good the chain wrestling is.

So it really depends for me, too. I can get past most abuse and drug stuff as long as everyone involved is fine in the current day.

I feel that.

Cause like, if this shit gets proven, it's going to be really hard for me to want to see him actually get a great push and be used. Because I can't stand shit like this, surely when the person is underage and at 13, that's really fucked up. He was like 20 at the time this happened. So yeah, really bad.

The biggest thing for me though with that question is proven.

Oh for sure. Until I see some actual proof, I ain't turning on my boy. I'll still be a fan and support any push he gets 100% until I see some proof.
