Well this has been quite a couple days hasnt it? As someone involved in both the comics industry and the wrestling business, it's been...difficult to see both of my passions on complete fire. But it's needed. Sexual allegations were never the main thrust of my occasional "wrestling needs to die" comments but they've always been a part of it. There's so much about this thing I love so much that I really, really hate.

I... How does this keep getting worse? He's been in wrestling in many prominent positions for like 40 years, so yeah, this is far from the end. Like, shit, Memphis alone is probably going to have a lot of skeletons pouring out of closets. Yeah....Lawler man, just Lawler.

I... How does this keep getting worse? This whole day is making me question my wrestling fandom. God only knows about the stories in Japan we haven't heard about If it "helps" , since it seems the women divisions and male divisions are pretty much different companies, I wouldnt be too worried about the wrestlers being the ones. Now producers and stuff?In japan they are shady af.

Well this doesn’t surprise me. Isn’t his wife herself like 30 years younger than him and was one of the wrestlers in ovw when he was the booker/owner?

The user is posting screen shots and ugh. Yeah, I did not think seeing Stacy Cornette's bruised ass would be on the itinerary today, but here we are. Will someone please explain to me why I looked? 🤦🏼♀️

What has even the last few days been
Shit has opened up and not stopping. That's a good thing tho. Shit needs to get cleaned up and if people did what they are accused of they need to be dealt with either by law or kicked out the industry

F***ing hell, go to the city for the day and don't check my phone for a few hours and the whole f***ing business starts burning. I mean, it was only a matter of time, but we're certainly in for a bumpy ride the next few days

I always thought it to be odd how Cornette was always hesitant to say anything bad about Moolah when asked. Kinda makes sense now...

Oh my god. To hell with both of them.
It's such a sickening feeling, learning this stuff about people in the business you once looked up to with respect, but I'm in agreement that this breaking of the dam needs to happen. Secondarily for the betterment of the business, but primarily for justice for the victims.

I remember istening to Jericho and Storm talking about their time in Smoky Mountain, and how Cornette would be on them for not "servicing the rats", and there was an offhand comment about how Jim married one of them. And I got to say, finding out he was making the boys f*** his wife suddenly casts all of that into a wildly different context.

Yeah....Lawler man, just Lawler. If half the stories I have heard are true Lawler is nothing compared to Ken Wayne,Jamie Dundee,Brian Lawler and a few others. Oh can't forget Chris Champion and Billy Joe Travis.

Oh can't forget Chris Champion and Billy Joe Travis. I recall hearing stories of Brian Lawler date raping women, was pretty devastating to hear that as someone who liked him in too cool.

Oh can't forget Chris Champion and Billy Joe Travis. 1. The Memphis and Ark-La-Tex area territories were havens for predators, all the way to the top of the card, and not just a small handful of people. 2. This thread needs to stay on-topic, please. Cornette, not Lawler.

Not to make light of the situation but all i can think of is the scene from The Wolf of Wall Street when the FBI raid the offices and the brokers start going down. The flood gates are open and hopefully finnally some of these shady f***ers are going to get taken down too. The chickens are coming home to roost.
