Blix and Brett Lauderdale were both posting "this isn't funny anymore" messages last night after Elgin posted a video.
Figured there had to be something to it, got about as far as Elgin saying "I won't harm myself or anyone else, but I WILL fight against cancel culture!" before I shut it off.
ETA: read his GoFundMe message just for a laugh. Dude, go get a f***ing job.

I have no love for the man, but I do hope for his sake he will accept such help if offered. The problem is that, unless he thinks he has a problem and accepts help, there's nothing anyone can do, they can't fix him for him. It's the same thing people said in the Punk thread when they referenced him getting help. You have to have enough self-awareness and self-reflection to realize that you need help before it benefits you. And judging by his sob story on the GoFundMe page, he's holding everyone else but himself responsible for his problems. |

So either homeboys wife has taken over the GoFundMe and is advocating on his behalf or (perhaps more likely) Elgin is impersonating her for sympathy. Oh yeah he’s making a documentary now. LMAO

Who donated as Poo Pee? That made me laugh.
I'm also so thankful Control Your Narrative is pretty much dead, as I just know he'd show up there with a "redemption story" like they tried to pull with Aries.

He got fired from WWE for going outside of the building to say hi to the Elite and took a picture with them. Guys he had known and been friends with for well over a decade, but this was during the time when WWE was feeling so threatened by the Elite that they were sending them cease and desists for things they didn't actually own the rights to, so... I could be wrong but I seem to remember Jimmy giving an interview where he admitted that WWE staff was specifically told not to go interact with the Bullet Club and he did anyways because he was unhappy with his job I believe that was the story Jimmy said in his first interview after getting fired. He was basically burnt out and looking for a way to get fired and found an easy one. |

Honestly, any promotion that gives Drake Younger the time of day in 2023 deserves to be forgotten about. |

Guy's replaced his "wife's" message on gofundme with just....an unhinged rant. Sad to see.

The irony in all this is that I do slightly agree with him about there being a mental health crisis amongst men, but it's due to the exact same kind of MGTOW/Anti-woke/Anti cancel-culture toxic masculinity bullshit that he's trying to peddle.
He'd try to save a drowning man by offering them a drink.

Hilarious that his GFM hasn't been taken down already even tho it's about like 30 different things and has now been expanded to include funding a podcast and a book. This shit is gonna include a cancel culture themed restaurant by next week.

Actually I'm changing my previous stance and replacing it with a song lyric.
Please understand, this isn't just goodbye, this is I can't stand you.

Words of support (1) Poo Pee $5•2 d ago I suck I checked the page two days ago, and that was the last donation then. He hasn't gained any new donations in the last two days. I watched the videos on his YT page. He lost me when he said "Andrew Tate was right" (well, he lost me long before that but that was the final nail). I don't know what to say. It's like he's in a place where he recognizes he needs help but he doesn't see (or want to admit) what direction he needs to go, so he's flailing at attempts for answers and that's just digging his hole deeper. |

He'd try to save a drowning man by offering them a drink. Watched a friend go down that path and ultimately lost him circa 2016, and it's scary what that community can do to you; even fatherhood apparently hasn't helped him at all. The stuff being framed by those groups warps your perception of society, and it can turn a bad bout of depression into something that nukes your entire social life because it'll make your friends start to drift away from you if you get extreme enough, and that leaves you only with friends in that same zone who will only further warp your perception of reality further, and that will f*** your mental health even harder. You'll listen to grifter gurus who peddle toxic advice that will not help you get better and will only further disconnect you from the world. I watched this friend pretty bold facedly talk a lot about men's mental health in discussions about like, video games and women talking about them, but then refuse therapy. Talk about how men get sexually assaulted too as pushback against people talking about women being sexually assaulted, not like it was a similar problem, but like it was a contest. I don't know for sure if Elgin is actually a believer in the idea society really has unjustly done him wrong, or just a grifter who knows his career is over due to his own misconduct and wants an inroad to a place that won't care about what he's done. But him crusading for this crisis he's so worried about is only going to make it worse because it's just another voice added to the noise that is ruining the lives of many men who simply don't understand that the word 'and' exists because it's less convenient than believing the world actually rigged against them and only them. Men who fail to advocate for themselves and truly get help because the easier path is in following people who want to sell easy answers that just sound nicer than any potential reality that their problems are within. Men who lose their careers because they abused women would rather start a podcast than get therapy. |

Side question: has anything else been said about his being dropped from NOAH? Anyone who was there that can talk about what they saw and whether Elgin's story is true or BS? I haven't heard anything new about it lately.

This guy is spiraling. I don’t agree with much of what he’s saying but hopefully he still has some people that may be able to talk some sense into him. It’s kind of concerning at how desperate he seems to be for this GoFundMe and he’s constantly changing it every few days.
