That street fight was the absolute shits, and there's nothing 'toxic' about saying so.

Don't mean to drag this from the grave (though it's relative), but I felt like Bully Ray going after a random fan on Twitter highlights the insecurities he has. God I hate to defend Bubba Ray here, especially in this f***ing thread but that dude who tweeted him does seem like a douche. Kinda had it coming. “Please retire, Jesus Christ. And how many people at the show, 10?” He’s a dick trying to provoke Bubba.

Bully is one of those guys who seems like he probably could be easy enough to get along with if you're another wrestler, but he is just enormously condescending to fans in a way that just isn't necessary. I know it's been pointed out by everyone else, but I cannot no sell/get over how funny them remarking about the Code of Honor in a non kayfabe public statement is That'd be like... if Lucha Underground sent out a serious statement and ended it with "from the desk of Dario Cueto" or if Vince talked about his grapefruits during a shareholder's conference(actually that would be pretty hilarious) Jeff Dunham has one of his puppets solemnly explain that he's got an inoperable tumor. I didn't even remember posting this.

Don't mean to drag this from the grave (though it's relative), but I felt like Bully Ray going after a random fan on Twitter highlights the insecurities he has. Then again, was it Brady who tagged Ray unprovoked, essentially restarting the fight after all these months of a cease fire? In that case, I would say that Ray has the right to fire back, at least once. Their beef was months ago, they both made their points back then, neither of them should be mentioning each other ever again, at least not on social media. So unless Ray somehow mentioned Brady in some recent tweet or whatever, Brady should've kept it buried, no need to go after Ray again.

Bully Ray is the gift that keeps on giving.
And he's not even the first to bury fans online just for not liking their matches/their company's product!

Don't mean to drag this from the grave (though it's relative), but I felt like Bully Ray going after a random fan on Twitter highlights the insecurities he has. I read the rest of that thread. The dude tagging Bully is a douche. Just read the rest of it. Dude tried to provoke Bully Ray, I dont mind him firing back.

Yeah, he was blatantly attacking Bubba and I feel Bubba’s response was both reasonable and on point. It’s not like Brady said “Hey, I appreciate the effort Bully but I felt the match was a little flat at points”

Bubba's response to the asswipe on Twitter is fine.
Bubba harassing some dude at a show and having him brought backstage to intimidate him should have seen him fired. But obviously with a massive lack of security and there being no responsible human being in ROH management, that happened and nothing will be done about it.
Bubba should go away though, he's absolutely been a part of what's taken this company down into a flaming dumpster.
That said, the guy on Twitter is a douche, I hope his day is miserable.

Bully is a douche, but this strikes me as an ahole fan trying to get 15 minutes of internet fame by provoking a wrestler with a short fuse. These people shouldn't be given the attention.

While Bully does have a point, I'd be careful going after Brady because there is more than likely going to be a bunch of them out there to deal with.

He committed battery on international TV and easily could have gotten the company sued. He should have been shitcanned. You probably would have fired the guy who hit the Bret Hart Hugger also.

There should be a bubble between the wrestlers and the fans that way no one gets their feelings hurt. For decades, there was one. It was called performers never "selling" for anything the fans say or do, because getting a reaction from the crowd is their job. Some still have that mentality, but around the time social media became a thing, wrestlers began allowing fans to be on an "equal level" with them, responding to nonsense on Twitter, etc. The answer to all of this would've been to just no sell the dude, return to the locker room, get changed, and go to the next town. There are exceptions to your rule, you know that, right?

2 more hole punches on the shit on the people who watch your product card and you get a free WWE contract.
