I didn't watch ROH or NJPW much during Kevin Kelly's time there but I remember hearing he was one of the best commentars in the world during that period. Lord know what's happened in a few years!
Also the worst crime that this situation did, it made me remember that I haven't been on here in ages! Another thing to hate KK for!

Kevin Kelly has been doing a lot of dumb shit the last few days, like responding to people about promoting that stupid Sound of Freedom film on air on NJPW because he "hates pedos" but then liking Instagram posts by actual admitted sex offender Marty Scurll People who circle aorund Tim Ballard and his movie like it's credible are all red flags, doubly after Ballard himself got accused of sexual assault and grooming himself. The whole grift he sold is all weird soldier fantasy shit from people who can be easily tricked into believing that most sex trafficking comes from scary groups kidnapping women off the street and not from people the victims know, and oftentimes intimate partners. People like Kevin Kelly who think the ultimate dangers of pedophilia are shadowy organizations and queer people don't actually care about children at all, and shit like palling it up with Marty Scurll is exactly the kind of shit that proves it.

Was Kevin Kelly ever actually... y'know, good?? Because I remember when he was in the WWF, he was god awful, and that was the opinion of an 11-15 year old. Was he any better in ROH/New Japan? Because he sure as hell sucks just as much in AEW now as he did back in the late-90's. I thought he was fine in New Japan, but maybe that was because he was carrying Jim Ross at his most checked out.

Honestly dude could be the nicest guy in the world (which he certainly isn't) and would still be the worst commentator since Booker T.

"I've been cancelled" says the guy who commentates on TNT every Saturday.

The nicest thing I can say about Kevin is that he doesn't even a grating voice like Josh and Jerry Lawler
To this day I don't know how people could listen to Jerry Lawler shrieking voice.

Oh my f***ing God it's just clicked that Kevin Kelly is the douchy backstage guy from the attitude era that Rock used to bully, how did I not realise that?!

Skimming the topic list, my brain processed the thread title as "FAN boards get bought out by Reddit" and for a moment I thought we'd gone the way of the IWA-MS pizza oven.
Also, screw Kevin Kelly

Genuinely had no idea that Kevin Kelly said teachers were money launderers. I liked the guy a lot, but definitely not now. I’m a teacher and can assure you that’s a load of crap. Speaking for the teachers at my school, we get paid very, very little and are treated like crap. We don’t do it for the money. I guess it’s easy to say that when you’re paid a likely obscene sum to sit and talk/pretend.

As someone married to a second-grade teacher, I can most assuredly tell you the only money laundering that goes on is on the weekend when we do wash, and one of us forgets to take loose $1s out of pockets before turning the machine on.

I think Corino and Callis also made him look a lot better as well.

One of the most digusting tactics I see in certain groups of people is trying to demonize teachers, the group of people that specifically get f***ed , are mistreated and still help the future of the world.
