Wrestling as an artform for some performers is going through a "throwing poo at a canvas" phase. But enough about Hogan/Warrior at Halloween Havoc 98 |

You can act like I am being preachy all you want, but guess what? My opinion on this holds about as much weight as your opinion of my opinion, so I will continue to say what I want. But, this is not a good thing to do in the #metoo era if you ask me. It makes wrestling look too low brow. It just seems like a reach for attention. And the puking on his dick is just corny, I just don’t like it. I posted a picture a few posts up of a man covered in shit, and was quoted with a picture showing another man being slammed into a tray of dog shit. To charge these two as being the lowest of the low, when we've seen simulated oral sex (Triple H and Candace Michelle at the DX BBQ) and castration ("I choppy-choppy your pee-pee!" Hey, they worked racism into that one too!) and implied abortion (Terri Runnels' fake pregnancy) as just examples I'm coming up with off the top of my head is a bit much. Pro wrestling as an "art form" is burlesque AT BEST. It's a John Waters movie with chairshots, not a Jean-Luc Godard film with a heel turn. And considering nothing has been done about anyone in pro wrestling in 2 years of #metoo when we could also recite tales of women only being offered jobs because of their looks and being harassed by the male talent, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for them to put an end to the likes of Priscilla and Joey. You can not watch or watch and dislike it, that's all well and good. But the whole "These two have gone too far!!!" stance when it's really just par for the course in pro wrestling is just a bit much for my way of thinking in turn. I don’t think a guy making a woman grab his dick in a match then she pulls out his trunks and pukes on it is “par for the course for wrestling” because of some stuff that happened on WWE tv 20+ years ago. And what are they even going for? Is that supposed to be funny? To me, at least, I can see at the time that “choppy choppy your pee pee” was funny. And was part of a story. I don’t get what this is going for. |

I didn't sit through Booker T puking on Michael Cole after a Rikishi stinkface just for wrestling to turn into this kind of nonsense!

Man, these days, “snatch a headlock” probably means shoving your head up someone’s snatch.

To be fair, his penis probably smells awful.

The next thing has to be someone just taking a big shit in the ring, right?
That'll get AEW a primetime slot.

I really just can't wrap my head around all of the people who swear this stuff is an embarrassment to wrestling or that they don't understand who the audience for it is.
I mean, to start with the audience is clearly the kind of people who would see Priscilla Kelly vs. Joey Ryan advertised on a poster and plop down money to see it. They know what they're getting into with that. Her thing is being gross, his thing is his penis. Of course those two things are going to intersect, everyone who paid to be there knew something like this was going to happen.
As for it not being wrestling... I mean, at a point in time there were people who would say the same thing about a match being anything but glacially paced or someone doing a diving move. It's an artform that leaves itself open to be explored and reinterpreted in different ways and for the kinds of people who are plopping down money to see Priscilla Kelly and Joey Ryan this is the kind of thing they're open to seeing being explored in a wrestling format. Do I particularly want to watch any of this? Not really, no (though Joey Ryan can be pretty funny in the right context), but I really heavily disagree with the idea that there's no merit to it or that it's somehow dragging down the sport as a whole.

That honestly did not look anywhere near as bad as the impliedness...you can barely see anything and what u did see came off more like whole lot of saliva.
Xavier Woods accidently puking in TNA is much nastier IMO

At least it wasn't as gross as I thought it would be.

I was going to post a longer post, but since this seems to be a weirdly sensitive topic all round I decided to limit my thoughts to:
If you like this stuff, good for you. But personally, the more time passes the more I agree with Cornette about Joey Ryan, and my opinion is that this is little more than fetish porn. And to everyone who says just don't watch, well, yeah, I don't plan to. But I do plan to watch AEW, so if this is the sort of shit Joey Ryan is bringing to AEW, that massively hampers my interest in the first viable American alternative to WWE in 18 years. So yeah, that's why I'd rather these two just go the f*** away forever. If you don't have that opinion, or if you like this, good for you, but this actively turns me away from wrestling and would put me off any show either of them appear on. And I doubt I'm the only person who feels this way.

I am shocked that something like this could happen in pro wrestling.
The sport that gave us Katie Vick has sunk to a new low.

To be fair, WWE's poop-related shenanigans, Katie Vick, Booker T puking on Michael Cole, etc. sucked just like this awful stunt sucked. It can all suck. And of course there's an audience for this. Larry the Cable Guy had a massive following at one point, so some people being all about Pricilla Kelly puking on Joey Ryan's piece shouldn't surprise anyone.

Look...I get these kinds of gross-out moments are meant to be something that makes you remember who it was that was involved.
I didn't honestly know who Priscilla Kelly was over two months ago. Since then, the only thing I've heard about her is the tampon spot and now this. I couldn't tell you one thing about her professional wrestling abilities or promo talent, ONLY that she's done some sick things in the ring to get her name talked about.
If that's what she's wanted in her professional career, more power to her. I won't be going out of my way to watch anything she's involved in if this is what I can expect from her matches, but that's only my opinion really.

Tommy Dreamer just posted on his Instagram a clip of Sami Callihan legit hocking in his face. Dreamer then wipes the other man's mucus from his cheek and swallows it.
Are The Cornettes going to get up in arms about that one as well?

"Why didn't you call out every single other stupid/gross thing over the years?" isn't the greatest kill line, IMO.
Not every stupid or gross thing necessarily gets its own thread.

If Joey Ryan and Priscilla Kelly want to do this on a small indy show where they have top billing, okay since this is what fans probably expect anyways. |
