All these wrestlers tweeting about how they knew it wasn’t Buff the whole time and had their suspicions but….said nothing and let others fall into a potential scam? Weird I'd imagine more than a few of them simply didn't want the static that would come with shitting on a wrestling vet who seemed to be trying to repair his image. That, or just not having proof. Like, it's one thing to suspect, it's another if you have any evidence to back it up. This really sucks, in any case, especially for people like Kidd who now have to wonder if any of the encouragement came from the real deal at all, or if all of it was just an attention-and-money-grabbing scam.

One of the few feel-good stories of 2022 ending up being bullshit makes me sad.

One of the few feel-good stories of 2022 ending up being bullshit makes me sad. I agree. However, at least we still have Lex Luger changing and becoming one of the best dudes.

Joey Janela has spoken on Twitter about Buff not really running his own Twitter. Won't post it cause it's a little political bout recent things but Janela says Buff and his "tweets" are b.s. Janela may have been trolling too BTW. But Buff a year ago was parroting the cheeto man and big steals Just seen X-Pac's tweet and someone in his replies posted video of Buff basically saying what your saying so yea. But I'll drop it at that

I don't have sound on my computer to listen to a video, does someone mind giving a brief run down of what he said?

I don't have sound on my computer to listen to a video, does someone mind giving a brief run down of what he said? From memory... - He was working with Michael Long, a registered sex offender. Says he didn't know his history, didn't do a background check, etc. - Had no idea no one got the merch that they ordered. Says that Long never notified him and he never knew about any of the orders. - Briefly addressed the LGBTQ community. I forget the exact words he said in this segment. It was very quick and he points out that the support on Twitter meant a lot to him. - He says from now on, he's handling everything. I think that was it? Someone can correct me if I missed anything.

On the LGBTQ community, he pretty vague on his support of them or those lifestyles, specifically. He said he supports people being themselves and being happy. So a bit vague. Could just be poor wording but I would imagine if he fully supported the community he would specifically state that. The whole video seems a bit wishy-washy, and passing the blame, unfortunately.

While it remains to be seen whether his opinion is correct or not... I'd say consider the source at this point in time. Janela isn't exactly a prince.

So was him seeing DDP a lie too? This situation kind of reminds me of when Jake Roberts relapsed after being with DDP a few months. It's like it's part of the media process for these guys to have issues reoccur only for them to bounce back and get clean. I do wonder if he still is even with DDP. You'd think as much as a brand DDPY is, he would want to have some sort of say in who is working with his guys, in their recovery. I'm not sure I totally blame Marcus for having Michael. From my experience being at wrestling autograph shows with two of my friends, wrestlers have so many guys approaching them to do social media or bring them in to autograph signings. They don't do checks, they just give their number and if they guy calls, they do the show. No one does a check on RF and he's one of the biggest promoters their is. It should be on Marcus but it's not uncommon in wrestling. It also reminds me of when either Jake or Hall had the gofundme and fans were saying they weren't getting what they were supposed to get for donations. Again, I still even wonder if he is with DDP. I know there was probably a better redemption story with Jake and Hall since they really were fan favorites compared to Buff but it was like DDP was always with them doing some kind of social media promoting or videos.

We need Jim Duggan beating cancer again or maybe even Jake and Cheryl Roberts re-marrying.
I think it's going to take a lot for Marcus to get over this one. DDP should have had a PR team with Marcus from the beginning.

Look at his t-shirt. Guy is part of the New World ODOR so maybe curb your expectations.
