Yeah, if you're gonna throw out a Weinstein comparison, you best have some evidence to back it up. And that evidence should be mentioned when you make the comparison.

Hausman is such a moron that I usually find him generally harmless but carelessly chucking out Weinstein like that is...yeesh. Feels like this doofus getting his ego inflated by Punk for a year or so is about to explode badly for him.

You know it's stuff he's taking seriously because he's letting a tiny little bit of it dribble out on some guy's podcast over twitter beef. Very serious, very legitimate, Hausman's a really great guy for sitting on all this stuff that's very probably true.
I hate that the scrum has upgraded this guy to main cast.

Jericho's infidelities have been a common rumour for many years but that's a world away from the likes of Harvey Weinstein.
Hausman (like a lot of other people on the periphery of pro wrestling) really seems to get a kick out of getting some attention from those in the business. I don't know what it is about pro wrestling that attracts so many people that allow a little notoriety to go straight to their heads.

Either he's making stuff up or he's using very serious crimes to score points in an internet feud. Either sucks.

I don't know what it is about pro wrestling that attracts so many people that allow a little notoriety to go straight to their heads. If I were to theorize? It's a form of entertainment where fan interaction always plays a part, making that kind of acknowledgment more achievable than it often is in other media. So the kind of people who like that sort of thing can find more traction in wrestling.

I gotta be honest, and I mean this not to downplay anything for not being 'as bad', but if Jericho even just straight-up sexually assaulted somebody, even five somebodies, I would not draw a comparison there with Weinstein. Weinstein is such a massive scandal, and a case of a predator with influence weaponizing that influence across the entire industry to not only silence those he wronged, but to exploit and coerce things out of some while demonstrably, provably destroying the careers of women who turned him down. That's a comparison that has weight to it and I distrust Hausman heavily for throwing it out there unless he's got some receipts to back up not only some bad shit, but that specific kind of bad shit, because it's really downplaying Weinstein's evil otherwise.

Yeah, there's a lot of layers to what Weinstein did and that's why the courts came down so heavily on him.

Punk telling Hausman he's on his own when Jericho sues him all because he wanted wrestling clout is going to be hilarious.
Jokes aside, this dude is an absolute turd. Imagine (potentially) having a huge issue with Jericho being a scumbag and you only uncover it to one up him. Just childish shit and watching him dance around it on the bird app makes me think he's got nothing.

These AEW threads go off topic is such a hilarious rate. No this is still on track, it's just that with all the legal stuff the past few pages, Chris isn't getting a tag partner, he's getting a partner at a firm.

Nick Hausman officially makes Raj Giri look like Walter Cronkite. What an absolute scumbag piece of shit. He needs to be a banned source. I don't care whatever bullshit he spews.

Can't believe that Wes Craven got away with making Milton a Harvey Weinstein character in Scream 3, which was produced by Weinstein. Weinstein flat out destroyed people's lives, and they weren't small names. The dude had enough power to basically end Ashley Judd's, and Mira Sorvino's careers.

I don't doubt that Jericho is a piece of shit. However, for Hausman to throw that accusation/statement once he got poo-poo'ed by Jericho on Twitter is so f***ing scummy and shows how little integrity he has.
Basically, 99.9% of the wrestling media are f***ing terrible, spineless cowards. Just look at any of these media scrums to see proof of that.

Alright, seeing Twitter immediately bring up Kylie Rae and spam her iamge all over for it - someone who has been extremely public about her mental health struggles and, even with the accusations being false, she especially does NOT need this now.
f***ing Nick Hausman being terrible at comedy directly leading to continuous irritations in the wrestling industry used to be just annoying/laughably pathetic before, but this could really f*** with someone's mental health who was not involved in any of this shit at all.

I don’t consider myself an expert on much but I did do a journalism degree and I’m 99% sure the first thing our lecturer taught us is “Don’t use speculation and/or sensitive information you get from people who trust you with it for your really stupid and petty grudges about not having a question asked at a press junket”.
Even if there’s anything to it, and there could be, you basically lump that entirely on others to say something instead of you, the journalist.
There’s a reason Ronan Farrow’s reporting on Harvey Weinstein factored into him being taken from his public and high profile position and convicted and it wasn’t because he randomly decided to spill it out on a Twitch stream to settle a grudge for not being invited to a Miramax press conference one time.
