Because the Sandman was known for being a great wrestler; right? I'm baffled how people can still have this mindset in 2019?!
Apparently, Tessa Blanchard destroyed Sandman on the mic before Jordynne, Taya, Rosemary and Su Yung proceeded to tear the house down in the main event.

The Sandman is absolutely busted, not only as a wrestler (He was never good to begin with) but as a person with very outdated beliefs in the business
He gets easy bookings because his shtick is something he can realistically do with no effort whatsoever, and all he'd have to do is keep his mouth shut. These idiots like him and Corny really just wanna ruin their reputations further I guess, far be it from us to stop them from taking out the trash themselves.
Also 100 percent he said that to them completely pastered.

I'm tempted to suggest he, like Cornette, has completely lost his senses and decency over the years (in an 'old fart' sort of way) because why even say this? At all? Why even think this at all?

Here comes another sixty pages. Oh wait. Sandman doesn’t have that many organized haters. I guess that’s one good thing to say about him. I doubt that Sandman pays much attention to what’s going on in wrestling today. The women have advanced leaps and bounds in terms of their ability and their place in pro wrestling compared to ten years ago; let alone twenty years ago which was probably the last time Sandman was main eventing indie shows on a consistent basis. He’s a veteran so he gets to say whatever he wants. That’s the wrestling business for you. Fortunately these girls can shrug it off and let their success speak for itself. I thought the better story from Jordynne was that the Great Muta asked to borrow her mirror to put on his makeup. I thought that was pretty cool.

We are going to have a thread every time someone says something remotely sexist/racist/x-phobic from now on, aren't we? A shocking thought, don't take your social or ethical mores from a professional wrestler who's gimmick was he was a drunk.

Letting people get by on shit like this with a pass is how opinions like it continue to fester. When people say something stupid like this they need to be called out on it as loudly as possible.

I was there last night. Sandman botched his entrance in the battle royal and never made it to the ring. He just kept walking through the crowd during the match.

Is there a lack of GBs here for threads that so many people get upset over these threads being made instead of upset that old has-beens keep saying stupid shit?

If I were in the ring, I would trust being in there with any woman than with Sandman swinging his stupid cane around drunk without a care in the world for anyone but himself.
He's proof Heyman could turn anything into gold. Sandman couldn't wrestle to save his life.

I think Sandman's crushed too many beer cans against his forehead.

Sadly, it's getting tothe point where it's easier to just assume legends are kind of douches outside of the ring. At least then when they voice their backward opinions it's less disappointing.

From everything I've read about Jordynne as well as her Twitter, she seems like a great person.

She's one of the best wrestlers I've seen at not only not getting angry at wrestling fans, no matter how creepy they get, but she's managed to earn some money from those types of fans and I have to respect her for that. The fact she's a damn good wrestler helps, too. We need more female hosses!

I will pretend that I am surprised Sandman has beliefs like this, especially after hearing him tell stories of womanizing in shoots. After watching a video of him literally pass out in a match, it's amazing anyone books him to any real capacity in this day and age. What he said was so clearly wrong and his reputation is so low that I am not even offended, I am just wondering why Impact would book him in a battle royal at a point where they don't need to?

Yes because comments like this still happens and smart remarks like seen below is still a thing

Also, this is notable incident worth talking about as it's been raised directly by one of the women involved.
We're not talking about a dodgy tweet, it's something that was said directly to her.
Also, the best way to stop these discussions is for people like Sandman to quit being arseholes.
