I don't have a lot of neurons to dedicate to how many sexists and racists are crawling out from under rocks in the wrestling community right now. Yep. I equally don't have a lot of neurons to dedicate to how many people wanna try and play devils advocate for said sexists and racists in the wrestling community right now. It's crazy.

Is there any proof of this or are we just taking this tweet at face value? I'm not saying what Sandman said was right, clearly not, but I just think it's odd that in todays environment we take ones word at face value when these types of accusations are made. Jordynne's follow-up tweet clarified that Sandman not only expressed his opinion very loudly, but then starting asking other wrestlers within earshot whether they agreed with him or not, so there'd be plenty of witnesses to call bullshit on it if she was making this up.

Are we really surprised that a guy called the Sandman doesn't want people to get woke?

I just keep finding more reasons to mark for Jordynne Grace.

Also, why would she make up something like this? It's 2019. It's not like Sandman is anywhere close to relevant these days.

Sandman, as much nostalgia I have for the guy, is the Most Delco guy that has ever Delcoed.
*Delaware County, PA. Direct suburb of Philly, and probably the most white trash suburb of a major city next to Simi Valeey, CA.

It's hard to peg it down as just "white trash", though. Like you can turn off MacDade Blvd and be on the campus of Swarthmore College in like 5 minutes. And Southeast Delco is basically Southwest Philly. It's just...it makes a LOT of sense that Delco produced The Sandman.

I love FAN and every contrarian/Devil's Advocate/Justification/Defense/etc. post in favor of a Sandman/Graves/Cornette/whoever just makes me sad, because this community is great and would be better without you spreading that shit.
The world isn't "too soft", you're just making everywhere you go and act like this a little bit worse.

If there is anyone watching wrestling in the past five years that doesn't think that women around the world have been earning the main events in their various promotions, then they don't really know wrestling. I've seen many shows where the women were the best thing on it, some where they were the only good thing on it. Professional wrestling has left The Sandman behind on this one, and the fans know it. Sounds like he was blaming the fans for his own backwards thinking and insecurities.

...waiting for the "Oh, he was just doing that to try to start an angle" goalpost moving... Had he said it in-ring and then was immediately jumped by the ladies, I'd believe it and maybe attribute it to extremely shitty booking from the company they're working at. Of course that's not what happened...

Besides the fact that zero angles have been started by Twitter and most of WWE's angles involving it have come after the match announcements BUT STILL!

Are we really surprised that a guy called the Sandman doesn't want people to get woke? In a just world, this would have 100 likes.

He's Sandman what did anyone expect? His gimmick is that of a drunk dad that causes you to go to therapy because he'd rather be at the bar than your baseball game
