Wrestlers used to relish getting stabbed and shot at. Now they can't deal with social media trolls.

I somehow hate everyone involved in this story.

Yes.

Though, as has been pointed out, Bully probably got blown that night for his troubles. I can respect that part at least.

POTY

Ole certainly plays off the getting slashed from nipple to knee thing off as no biggie. Ole is so money.

Remember when Destor wrestled Indifferent Clox for the custody of OssMan?

a loss I will never get over

And then Narc and Tb1's Front Yard Wrestling promotion practically ran them out of business.

WOW’s New MAGA Character is a Step in the Wrong Direction

"Right before the match, Jones snatched the microphone from announcer Shaul Guerrero and started to spout off about how she wanted to “make wrestling great again.” She then advocated for America building THE WALL, then called the Los Angeles crowd hypocrites for not wanting The Wall when they hide behind the walls of private gated communities. Jones would add, “So what’s the difference?”

If the promo itself didn’t come off as too on the nose, her opponent sure was: Azteca from Mexico City, Mexico. The little cherry on top came when Jones defeated the Mexican athlete clean in the middle of the ring."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little bit of context, posting about Mandy Leone got me thinking about wrestlers I've met at local shows that were totally chill and awesome, so I looked up what Jessie Jones / Jessie Belle Smothers has been up to... apparently, that :rofl:

I'm surprised that didn't make it to national news

Jesse Belle has always got it. Smart girl. Good worker.

That's genius, if you do a conservative MAGA character, the place to do it would be when you move to a West coast promotion :lol:

Like I said, she was super cool & approachable when I saw her, & she planted a kiss on my cheek in my photo. She seemed a little caught offguard that someone was expressly walking up to meet & chat.

Might have been the greatest ever.

The Progressive Liberal Daniel Richards is a tremendous ginnick

haven't read all the comments, but this sounds so weird coming from ROH. ROH seems much bigger then somewhere security would take you to the back to be yelled at by some old wrestler in charge. seems like something that would happen at a 150 seat show in some bingo hall in Alabama with like D'Lo Brown main eventing

ROH seats about 2500 soooooooo its smaller than it looks tbf. They do a great job with their lighting to mask that.

like can you imagine security taking some WWE 25 year old fan to the back for being a dick toward Bailey. And then it's HHH running him down and telling him to go be a fan.

actually i can definitely see Hunter doing that

Most fans would've just marked out to go backstage and wouldn't have learned any "lesson" from it.

I think this story is way better if you believe Bubba’s version. That he actually was extremely calm and polite and friendly to this fan. Just picturing Bubba kindly sitting this guy down in a chair, with a hand on his shoulder explaining the dangers of toxic masculinity in today’s society.

“Hey friend. I saw you out there tonight. Looked like you were having a great time. That’s great, that’s great. But listen friend, while we want you to have the best time out there, I need you to understand the plight of women in our country. They deal with so much on a daily basis and we have to honor them, not tear them down. You see back in the 1800s women did not yet have the right to vote and times were tough...”

Angelina Love has CENA NUFF

I stand w/ #Love

There's nothing wrong with the world. This is a wrestling issue. These are the same stupid fucks who hear Cornette explain, for example, why Kevin Steen and El Generico weren't pushed in ROH, and then see them put into a shit program in WWE and go "See!" like that was the point he was making. This is a bunch of dumb-ass wrestling people who can't read or listen to actual points misrepresent an entire argument just because they perceive it to be low-hanging fruit.

The same thing happened with Dave Meltzer when he made his comments about Peyton Royce. It was pretty fucking obvious Meltz was making a point about WWE's sexist attitudes and how they encourage women to get breast enhancements. Half the WWE locker-room dog-piled on calling Meltz a body-shamer or whatever. Seth Rollins gave him a tutting and then accepting a big paycheck from the Saudi regime.

I'm glad MLW are still using him. Stephen P. New might get some work coming out of all this.

They all say "sexual harassment," but none of them make a reference to whatever it was that was harassing. Was he harassing women performers or was he sexually harassing women performers? There's a big difference between the two, and I'm not sure how a guy in a wrestling crowd manages to do that to in any sort of effective way. You don't require silence to perform like a concert violinist.

This all makes ROH look extremely tiny and amateur.

Oh, for some reason, I thought "The Draw" was a fan. It's Sami Callihan. :lol:

Wtf has Solomon Crowe ever drawn? And apparently he got some on Rich Bocchini and the both got shots in on commentary and he won't be back in MLW. When the color commentator is more valuable than you are, it's probably time to stop calling yourself "The Draw."

I wonder if Orton cared about the treatment of the female performers when he crapped in Amy Weber’s bag.

It's a social issue, not just a wrestling one.
Everybody involved in these things seems entirely solipsistic. No self awareness, just me me me.

They should all be drowned.

Guy might have been out of line but pro wrestlers should be able to handle a situation like that better. Skin needs to be thicker.

These chicks would be in the fetal position after less than a minute with an ecw crowd.

Whoa man what happened to believe all women? You change your stance on Enzo now then?

Believe all women doesnt include skanks, obviously

I want this to be on vice tv's darkside of the ring this is getting good

Settle down eric

This woman claims to have been sexually harassed by ROH talent (At the same show?)


https://twitter.com/donnatroy/status...04766666158080

That's your made up narrative, Savio. If your brain is hurt by this, I can only suggest that you are thinking wrong.

For the record, I disagreed with Noid on the Enzo situation.

That needs to be said on this Goddamn forum for some reason.

But Savio/Big Vic is an idiot.

And that's fair enough you disagreed. You were reasonable and intelligent in your disagreement (more so than me), gave me plenty to think about, and it turned out you were probably right.

You also don't seem to have a pseudo-sexual obsession with me like the half the board.

Got no clue what happened to this forum, but I also had no clue Savio and Big Vic were the same person, so that explains a lot.

Some would say I DO have a pseudo-sexual obsession with you. I only mention that as a way to steal the joke before someone else makes it.

Noid post some dick pics plz

I’m down for that.

Wonder what Bubba would do if the crowd started chanting "she's a crack whore"?

Stop the event and take everyone to the back one by one for counseling?

I've actually got a very nice dick, which is a shame, because it's very rarely a quality you get to lead with.

Sounds more compelling than a ROH show.

Show us your dick you SLUT!

*Makes jerk-off motion*

I'm not going to spit on someone that likes it.

Fucking Hell :lol:

I can't catch a fucking break

You're starting to sound like that fan. Do you want a stern talking to?

Don't ruin this precious moment by spelling it out, Noid.

Get a room.

You're just sore because I know more about Kerry Von Erich's feet than you do.

Why don’t you marry Kerry Von Erich’s feet, since you love them so much

Jim Cornette probably owns Kerry Von Erich's severed foot.

Prob'ly depends on if they shook his dick hand or not... allegedly.

The Castle Cornette Museum Body Parts wing. Also includes Vader's eye and Mick Foley's ear.

and - as a shoot - at one point, a chunk of Shawn Michaels' hair after his backstage fight with Bret.

It's pretty weird that he actually does have that clump of hair you know. Genuinely took it home.

He doesn't have it anymore, his ex-wife has it.

ROH released another official statement regarding this incident.

Would this be a fireable offense? I think Bubba crossed the line asking a fan to be escorted by himself to the back and basically left there by himself to be grilled by Dudley. Instead of just throwing him out.

Even if the fan in question is a steaming pile of shit, he shouldn't be walked to the back to be confronted by someone who is representing the company.

Could easily be grounds for release of his contract or whatever job he has as a trainer/producer. Not sure what his status is there but whatever it is could be in jeopardy.

Should be but probably won't due to Bully's status in the company. Same for the other booker who was also involved for bringing the guy backstage for some talks and Matt Taven assuming his alleged incident is true.

At worst, a fine and/or small suspension would be enough for those involved in the ringside incident.

Shit, I forgot about that! How did I forget about that?

roh better clean up there act aew is about to take new japan from them, bully is not helping them with a crap msg show, now this.

It could be grounds for release, but it probably won't be, since they probably want to keep him for some reason.

I don't think there's much ROH is gonna be able to do to avoid what I think is inevitable. Aew is going to me on a massive network for their tv and they're coming off a big debut show. If New Japan is serious about growing their base in the states, they'd be foolish not to partner with what's going to be the #2 US wrestling promotion.

I find it interesting that Bubba's tweet concludes with him reaffirming his masculinity because he defended three women who "needed defending" (insinuating that they couldn't defend themselves). Does his being a man have anything to do with it particularly? Why does he feel that the three women needed defending? Do women feel that they can't defend themselves at RoH? Are the only two options being a bully or a man? Couldn't someone other than a man stand up for the women? If so why did he need to be a man to do it rather than just a person?

His response doesn't sound particularly female empowering.

at the same time, Brody and Hanson used to smash the shit out of fans. And we applaud them for that. If the fan was being whack and Angelina smashed him, I wonder how he'd feel. I'd probably pop

I'd wager a guess and suggest that he did it because he's banging Velvet Sky and wants to continue banging Velvet Sky.

Did he mean literally defending them or defending their honor though? I can see him playing the role of white knight over their honor considering his gf being one of the women just like Noid suggested in the above post. Probably also was a little bit of anger peppered in because the guy made reference to him in his remarks.

Bubba must think he's you.

Ive done dumber shit to get laid

Amen to that.

so have I. I still didn't get laid though :-(

Impact kicked a fan out of their NYC TV tapings this week for being a dick and recording, then last night kicked out a fan that got into it with Taya. Johnny Impact mooned the guy from the top rope and it took about two minutes before they threw the guy out and the match resumed.

There's a female wrestler in Impact that looks like a Soviet power lifter. Pretty hot.

That was smart mouth off to a chick that can kick your ass all around the ring the video was a hoot.

Didn't see the video just what distraction it caused during the main event of the Impact+ show.

go to youtube heel by nature has the mouthing off and spilled beer.

Found it without that dude talking. Lasted much longer than the video here.

What a prick.

Yeah. This is why I don’t tell people I’m a wrestling fan.

That man called her a “piece of ho”.

Maybe he was Chinese and saying "peaceful"

Some details regarding the fan incident at Impact's recent tv tapings.
