Or in other words "full of marks".
Kayfabe is dead, it's a show. Let kids see their mums and dads.

I can't tell if he's lamenting the loss of kayfabe itself, from a time when wives, girlfriends and kids would have been kept away more to protect the business, or if he just liked that locker rooms used to be private frathouses where the boys could screw around without outside witnesses.

I mean, I wouldn’t want my wife anywhere near a wrestling dressing room if I were a wrestler.

I typically like Ricky Morton, but this is the oldest man yelling at the smallest cloud.
Kayfabe is as dead as dead can be, and rightfully so.

He’s probably reaching with some of his word choice, but if I got called back into the office and everyone had their relatives, friends, and significant others hanging around, I would wonder why the hell they were there and getting in the way.

Mostly old man and cloud yelling. Though if Ace Steel's wife wasn't in the locker room, would he have still bit Kenny Omega???

Well he's a relic of a bygone age, and it's not surprising that he's going to mourn for the olden days.

You know, if he’d just said “I’m not comfortable with these people being around when my dick might be out” I’d get his point.
But talking about “sacredness” loses me completely.

I mean, I kinda get it, especially if it's a communal locker room that's being used as, well, an actual locker room, for reasons stated in the above post. Especially since most of his era I imagine there weren't too many private or VIP locker rooms to go around if there were any at all.
I can also see it being a distraction like if you're a dude that gets ready for your match in a specific way and there's no place else you can go without running into people's families etc.
But yeah, he had to phrase it like that, and my eyes rolled as appropriate.

I mean it is kinda "Old Man Yells At Cloud" but it's not a particularly offensive example either so I'm not mad about it or anything

I mean, I wouldn’t want my wife anywhere near a wrestling dressing room if I were a wrestler. 30 years ago when the locker room was full of womanizers, drunks and drug addicts I would have agreed with this. Now what's the worst a wife would see? A bunch of grown adults playing video games while their wives make small talk? We learned recently that there are more women being passed around Titan Towers corporate offices these days than are being passed around in the locker room.

So is the age of consent, but that never seemed to bother the Rock and Rolls.

Human rights abuses in China hang out at the shows? Must have been interesting. Sorry, that came off like a jerk, but it's a pro wrestling locker room, a place with a history of underhanded and dirty behavior; to pretend it's some sacred place just seems silly to me.

I think he's yelling at clouds... but at the same time why would you want your lover and/or kids in a locker room where dongs and stuff will be flopping around and people are taking showers and getting oiled up.
Stupid question because I don't know the answer: In like the NFL or NBA, are the locker rooms full of wives/kids as well?
