If this was him being hacked, then someone must have REALLY had it out for him considering the audio clip and the DMs. Definitely have to wait for more info before passing judgment. Too serious of an allegation to take at face value. That’s my biggest takeaway. It’s quite obviously possible that someone did all of this for whatever reason in their twisted mind, but that’s a metric shit ton of effort on their part. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see. I was just talking about this with my friend. I'm still trying my best not to rush to judgment, but if this is some kind of plot to take him down, it seems awfully elaborate to me. But I'm also someone who doesn't know shit about Instagram, Snapchat, or even phones.

If this was a hack it's like the most elaborate thing anyone's ever done to f*** over a wrestler. Even the *typing style* in the Snapchat convo is like dead on.

And allegedly at like 3:00 am right? I didn't see anything about a time. I just saw 2 screen shots a friend sent me. Yeah, it went down last night around 3am US time.

Ooof McGoof this does not look good. I don't see how this is a hack, it's just way too elaborate and the evidence is very strong. This f***ed up 2020 rolls on.

Firstly I am reserving judgment until more info is out, but as for effort, Google can provide many examples of obsessed fans going to extreme lengths in regards to their idols, Good or bad. Add to that technology these days is at one button press point and nearly fully automated at points so it isn't impossible.

I guess Dark Side of the Ring just got its material for season 3.
I'm curious to see if the WWE does anything about this. Wouldn't shock me at all if they try to make it go away.
EDIT: Just heard the "What school do you go to?" clip. Yeah, not looking good for Mr. Velveteen.

Man... I obviously really really hope this is an elaborate hoax. And that voice clip. It doesn’t sound right to me. I’m going to cling to that little ray of hope until whatever comes out next

"What school do you go to" is the new "I'll pretend you said 18"

I hope it's not him, and if it's proven not to be him that people don't throw this at him for the rest of his career and act like it's something the WWE buried.

Not going to pass judgement until I need more proof that this is concrete that it happened or some hack job.

Add to that technology these days is at one button press point and nearly fully automated at points so it isn't impossible. This sort of cmoplicated high-end shit is by no means 'fully automated'. There's a lot of dangerous things out there, but there is no easy way to do them totally idiot-proof without knowing anything. Just to take deepfakes as an example that's caused a lot of media stir over its dangers and possibilities; the software might be out there for you to use, but it requires feeding tons and tons of data and face information into a system, having the AI calculate it and analyze things in ways that require long hours from a strong computer able to process all of that, to hopefully render a video that looks even halfway sort of convincing but usually isn't. In the past few years, the software has been sharpened, but only to a certain degree and requiring in a lot of proficiency to make something that looks passable. The dangers these technologies pose come down to people with a mastery of this technology, often being employed specifically for these purposes. Some kind of omnidisciplinary fan with a raging vendetta and all the means to execute every step of this flawlessly is a major stretch. Not impossible, but probably more impossible than your post felt like it was expressing.

Realistically speaking, if this turns out to be real WWE is going to have a field day in killing this man's career. They need the positive press right now and "we fired one of our wrestlers for sending his dick to kids, this is not something we tolerate" helps brush away a ot of the more unsavory news stories surrounding WWE right now.

A bit of an awkward timing to have a good guy hacker angle on Smackdown taking place when this news breaks.
