I know that this creeper f***ed up, but I hope that this doesn't follow him for the rest of his career, I genuinely feel a bit bad for the kid, he's clearly not a veteran considering, well, the video. But I just hope that this doesn't lead to him not getting any opportunities, no matter how good he might get in the future.
Like, I got being a bit harsh on the guy at the start, but it's getting to the point where it might drive the guy out of the wrestling industry entirely, you might say that he isn't 'cut out' for the wrestling industry, but if you were getting harrassed like that in any other occupation, you'd be within your right to tell people to knock it the f*** off.

Dustin Rhodes tweeted (and recently deleted) a tweet basically shit talking the poor kid, but this is what Dustin had to say.
"It's almost 2020, and I am embarrassed at what I just saw in the great business that I still protect to this day. Please learn how to punch. Or, better yet, come to my class that I hold weekly and I will teach you."
Honestly, the guy probably feels shitty enough already without you chiming in, Dustin. Wrestler's botch, even the best wrestlers out there botch, it's just a fact of professional wrestling and yet this kid is being treated like he walked into your house on Christmas Day and pissed on your kids??

If Dustin truly cared that much about being punched, he wouldn't immediately block people so quickly on Twitter.

The "controversy" over this is asinine to all levels. There isn't a WWE worker alive that hasn't missed by a mile on television at least once.
They should turn this into an angle. Were the Creepers protecting Dustin because he's part of them? Or does the Dark Order have a mole among its members?

The puncher in question has come forward: Okay, so this is definitely a joke. Arik Cannon doesn't have the same body type as that Creeper. Plus, Cannon is a 15+ year vet, and has had some of the best worked punches in wrestling for years. Clearly just having a laugh about the situation. The fact that Dustin fell for it, though, gets a chuckle out of me. You mean this isn't the guy who threw terrible punches at Dustin?

My theory is that part of the reason why WWE are so trigger happy with the zooming and camera cuts is to try and avoid such a pointless outcry like this.

Dustin: When you see guys exposing the business, call em out
Okay Dustin, that is literally almost every single wrestler on twitter. No one has the time to do that. Also the business was exposed decades ago
I mean I really don’t get the big deal. Someone f***** up, It happens. Everyone makes mistakes at their job. Talk to the guy, make sure it doesn’t happen again and it’s all good

Talk to the guy, make sure it doesn’t happen again and it’s all good It’s just wrestling at the end of the day. I get he loves the business and all but pointing out what year it is is ridiculous as well as if that has any bearing on the situation. This is not racism or homophobia or another important issue like that this is just a guy who doesn’t know how to throw a worked wrestling punch.

Dustin's Twitter posts on this subject are the dictionary definition of 'exposing the business'. So work that one out.

Turning this into an angle sounds like the worst response possible. Ignore it and move on.

Yea, the outrage is dumb but ole boy needs to get back and improve that that's really all it is When AEW starts using extras i'm sure they will make sure they can at least do the basics

I love how people are trashing this guy for awful punches when Shane McMahon exists He looks like a cat digging in a sandbox.
