I mean I know when I am going for a handshake, I'm aiming straight for the pantline.

Yeah, that’s weird and him turning replies off on that is not a good look on that either.

I mean I can kinda imagine that tbf, you're lifting your hand up from your side to shake.

But that's typical frat bro strategy I saw a million times in college, oh sorry I didn't mean to grope you, my hand slipped, whatever the fuck they come up with.

I am fine with him putting it out there either way tho, better than being a coward and hoping it blows over which it probably would have tbh

I don't see the issue with turning off replies. Lord knows that everyone and their mother just gonna post stuff like "bullshit" or what-have-you and his shit would blow up to all hell.

Do I believe him? I don't know I wasn't there nor does it really matter what I believe. Chris had a very plausible scenario that he mentioned where both sides are correct where he went to shake hands but his hand went to a no-no-spot. I do not recall but does Gulak have any priors? I feel like I've never heard anything about Gulak before. Not saying one way or another.

That’s the thing, none of us were there.

I’m fully in the camp of believing Ronda. She has no reason to make up a story like that. But like Troop said, two things can be true. So Gulak’s version of events may be what happened.

I’m not gonna disregard Ronda’s claims but at the same time, until there’s an investigation or more information comes out, I’m not gonna vilify Gulak and call for his job.

I agree. I am not really a big fan of hers, but everything she has said has made sense. Maybe some people are turned off by the way she has said it, but that really doesn't matter. What she has said about her time there really meshes with what we have seen on screen.

Now, the one thing about it is the WAY she has presented it. The resentment is very strong. But the way she presented her issues but also praised HHH at the same time, that helps me believe her. If she was making it up, it wouldn't make sense that she would not make shit up about him too.

It comes across as very resentful, but definitely sincere.

From WebIsJericho:

On Tuesday night, during an interview with NewsNation, Ronda Rousey accused Drew Gulak, who works for WWE as both a wrestler and trainer, of grabbing the string of her sweatpants when they were backstage together. Subsequently, Gulak would take to social media and claim it was an accident, and since then, nothing more has been said. However, during the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alverez revealed that internally, people within WWE expected Gulak to be fired, which, as of writing, hasn’t happened.

“It was Tuesday when this story came out, and there were people there that thought, man, Gulak’s probably going to be gone tomorrow. And he’s not gone today.”

Bryan Alvarez

Expecting him to be fired after just 24 hours is crazy. Gonna take a whole lot longer than that for something to happen, if at all.

If Ronda was still with the company, it probably would’ve happened by now tbh

Should've been done soon as it happened......now it's just going to be ignored because they know rasslin fans forget shit easily and the fact that Ronda was not popular among the people who like bringing up all this stuff.

IF any of this actually happened.
