Well, I had pretty fond memories of talking to Teddy Hart at the Double or Nothing afterparty, specifically discussing his segment at the Orange Cassidy Mania weekend show where he stole the show reading a children's book. We knew Teddy had a bad past, but I thought he was truly turning over a new leaf. So much for that, and now it turns out that I may have taken a selfie with a murderer. I was at that show. I had bad vibes from Teddy when he was recklessly tossing his cat in the air. Very nice guy to his fans though, oddly enough Eurgh I hated Teddy for his cat treatment before I heard anything shady about him outside of that. I remember seeing in a Botchamania when he blew smoke in one of his cat's faces.

That could've gone so wrong

I'm just happy none of the people I know that were good friends with Joey have tried to defend him.
Literally every mutual friend I had with dude has completely denounced and disowned him.

I’m not sure what I think it is....but that loser doesn’t deserve any YouTube hits. It’s only gonna encourage him. Joey gropes the opponents chest, and does a German Suplex. There you go. Sometimes his opponents would grab his groin from behind and do a German that way, and it was called the Ballsplex. That was also a thing. This dude was on several indie shows I went to, and the matches always sucked but that was fine because you don't book Joey Ryan for a great worker, you book him to do the "touch my dick!" schtick, etc. These weren't low profile shows either, WrestleCircus booked him a bunch of times and VIP Wrestling had some decent turnouts. The allegations matter but the guy literally made his living for years showing up, getting groped, and getting paid. No one cared? Everyone was ok with this?

Joey had a ton of goodwill because he was so good at hiding his shitbag tendencies. Always made it a point to say that if someone doesn't want to do it, they won't do it. Basically it comes down to "Dude is so good at being a skeevy prick, there's no way he could be that much of a skeevy prick."

Anyone who said it was stupid or gross was shouted down as not getting it.

They don't just manipulate the prey, they manipulate their friends and colleagues as well to keep the facade going. It's one of the things that keep Joey going in spite of the sheer amount of people he victimized.

I think it also kind of escaped scrutiny to an extent from pragmatic reasons. Picture a powerbomb, or any number of holds. Junk ends up in faces a whole lot in wrestling as it is, so I think wrestlers for a while just didn't of it as being a huge difference. Think of how not big a deal bronco busters are. In any case, what he did in the ring wasn't his jollies or what people accused him of, it was being extremely gross outside of the ring.

When the dam broke on the Jimmy Savile story and more and more of his horrific actions became known after his death**, they were discussing it on HIGNFY* as for decades there'd be smoke but no smoking gun about Savile. As comic Ross Noble put it, "he hide behind the public persona of being a paedophile..."
*Savile was a guest on the show circa 2000 and for years a fake transcript of a cut scene where Paul Merton exposed his crimes was online. As Merton himself said later, if he'd actually known the extent of what was going on he wouldn't have been able to sit next to the guy let alone anything else. ** There were rumours going back years but Savile's government/police/dubious other connections kept them quiet so he was able to carry on victimising kids. The only evidence we have of someone believing it was true is with the much missed Terry Wogan, who, after finding out about it and that the police weren't investigating Savile, put a block on him appearing on Children in Need.

Right - assuming that someone who does gag stuff is actually a sketchy bastard isn't right, either. Ryan ended up being both, but things like the dick suplex weren't connected to what he was actually doing to women he knew, and assuming that anyone who'd do spots like that must be an actual predator or harasser isn't sound logic.

'You know what will get people to start booking me? Lawsuits.' I think he realizes he won’t get bookings anymore and so he’s trying to get any money he can through these lawsuits.
