MiLB Fan described the incident correctly, but just to be clear, it wasn't a work or cleared with Hemme in the slightest. It was on screen sexual harassment. I just watched his interview with Chris Van Vilet and... Jesus. Dude absolutely refused to admit he did anything wrong and it's cringe as hell. Austin refuses to believe he's done anything wrong ever. even among other allegations that were behind closed doors (that he himself basically have said happened) It's basically why despite the talent he has, no one outside of the CYN people will touch him. |

Today when I saw that it was confirmed that Buff Bagwell wasn't actually running that Twitter account. My stupid, naive self believed he had changed. Carnies gonna carny, I guess. Well, Buff was technically running it, he just has a social media manager who would run everything by him before they posted it. There's plenty of videos Buff recorded confirming the account was his, it was just more of an Iron Sheik situation than we all anticipated, with an additional dash of scamming people out of money. A small part of me was hoping that cleaning up was changing him into a better person, but I guess that was too good to be true. Also found out that the guy running his account was a registered sex offender who also was scamming Buff's fans! Wooooof |

Was on a "family holiday" (meaning just me and my Mam) in Orlando in 2009 when I was already legally an adult but still living at home, and since we never had Sky at home plus the time difference, it was always a rare treat to catch Raw live the few times we came to the States.
That Monday we were there I made sure to be back at the hotel room with some nice food to watch Raw as a treat, but of course WWE wasn't at its best in 2009 and my Mam happened to come in and just check out some of what I was watching right as one of the terrible Hornswoggle/Chavo segments were on. It really was inexcusably bad and I felt embarrassed as a grown-ass man to be watching it even before she walked in. But especially then when she must have been thinking "why is he watching this weird child's show?".

Today when I saw that it was confirmed that Buff Bagwell wasn't actually running that Twitter account. My stupid, naive self believed he had changed. Carnies gonna carny, I guess. The whole thing was just too fishy to me. There are pretty recent videos of him spouting political conspiracies that we can't get into here. It was always too hard to believe for me that overnight he went from that to "teehee, hey guys, it's me Buff and I'm suddenly going to make tweets parroting all the popular IWC opinions and using internet lingo people 30 years younger than me use." Like, this is the guy who said putting the titles on "small" guys like Benoit and Eddie killed the business and WWE should have hired him back instead. I don't mean he said it in 2004 when it happened. He was saying this stuff fairly recently. He's very much a body guy/anti-"vanilla midget" type then overnight he was praising all the small/indie guys trying to get booked on their shows. It was clearly a fake, calculated move to improve his image and it was actually working pretty well for him. |

When the Impact Zone crowd booed Christy Hemme for advocating for gender equality and cheered when the Voodoo Kin Mafia made misogynistic comments at her. The Impact Zone was like exhibits A-Z for why advertisers don’t bother with wrestling. Who wants THAT as their clientele. |

Im surprised no one said the priscilla kelly tampon spot... the fact she ended up getting a wwe contract to. If this of been 30 or 40 years ago she would of been blackballed Joey Ryan tweeted about it then "I would never censor anyone’s artistic creativity. To each their own. The telltale sign will be if it connects with an audience. If it finds an audience then can it really be considered wrong? If it doesn’t then it’ll die. You can’t stop change. Trying will only make you bitter." |

My mother walked in on the Katie Vick thing. That was probably the worst for something actually happening on wrestling.

Oh man, that is old school wrestling lore. I remember the ROH DVD cover someone made of him, it was great. From what I remember, he was a superfan that got too full of himself, and among other things would time matches and try to jump ahead of lines thinking he was a big deal. There is way more to it than just that. Got him sneaking into Chris Candido's funeral. OR the time at some NYC ROH event he confronted BIX,Bix had been talkign shit on GLF for years,supposedly Bix shoved his cousin between GLF and BIX then ran off yelling for security. |

The Steiner-Nowinski verbal debate. I had finally gotten the girl I was dating at the time to watch an episode of Raw with me.....and it was that one. She sat there looking at me with a "You really watch this shit?" look on her face.
