I said it in the Summerslam Thread but I feel so bad for any trans people who are fans of WWE and basically just got told they don't matter by HHH praising a dude who doubled down on being Transphobic recently WWE really is just lipstick on a pig with Vince gone, the shit that actually needed to change, won't, it's the same disgusting shit This bald bozo learned NOTHING from defending Patrick Clark and I hope karma bites him square in the f***ing ass. Like wrestling in general is f***ed for trans folk like how the world feels right now but... (not to make this tribalistic but WELPPPPPP here goes) AEW has actual trans folk wrestle and win championships, there are gay indies that are incredibly welcoming, while WWE props up the people who f***ing hate us and call us pure evil that need to be taken care of aka eradicated while also being like oh gosh golly ya know people who say that CONTROVERSIAL~ shit are sooooo talented so you can't really be mean to them OK? If you're being mean you're the real baddie OK?!?! I am not gonna forget how WWE has handled this week. For a company that has had so many blemishes, this is probably a nothing in the grand scheme of things, but I won't forget this. Yeah, it shouldn't be forgotten how hard they defended Logan, especially when his "apology" ended with "My point still stands", so it wasn't He attacked a group of people, told them to go f*** themselves, and HHH, Corey, and Pat all sucked his f***ing doink tonight, they can f*** off.

And OF COURSE not one single person in the wrestling media tonight asked Hunter about Logan Paul. And the biggest name "journalist" who was called, SRS, decided to suck up to Hunter and ask about Stephanie's role in WWE. F*** the wrestling media. Nothing but a bunch of groveling marks masquerading as "journalists". Every one of them is a pathetic coward. I wouldn't be shocked if they were told pre-scrum not to ask about Logan or the incident or they'd be removed from future ones, like wouldn't be at all given how he praised Logan tonight.

Okay now that we can actually get back in this thread, do we think people were told not to ask or it just wasn’t seen as big enough news by the reporters?
Like has anyone contacted SRS or whositdosit on why nobody said anything? Any hints of tweets out there?

They'll only pretend to be a journalist when it's another company that needs to be grilled on shit that doesn't even matter as much as this did. Especially when HHH can't even hit a softball when it comes to serious topics.

Its a super super super weird and uncomfortable feeling when you’re liking the shows but there’s a competitor you like just as much that is very welcoming right across the hall. It’s just gonna have to come down to a personal choice for all of us who are LGBTQ+ and it needs to again, be a personal one because we already have everyone and their mom already telling us what to do, including wear this, be this, do that, etc. I don’t think WWE really realizes just how much of their fanbase is absolutely LGBTQ+. It is wrasslin but this shit is theater and drama. This is the same shit we were doing when doing plays and singing lol.

I was wrong for thinking this would be it and Paul would be written off after dropping the belt, but, yeah, Trips outright praising him at the press conference is in bad taste. Even Vinny V basically said "the man is a good wrestler even if you may not want to hang out with him off screen" and I'm really starting to wonder if f4w is worth it anymore lol
Without saying too much (to protect their privacy), I have a group of close friends who just got back into wrestling for the first time since they were kids, and are really huge fans again, but refuse to watch WWE because of its history of homo/trans-phobic content and associations to harmful people. They were all very close to watching it again due to its current momentum but stopped short because stuff like this continues to happen.
Levesque continues to disappoint me on the PR front. He can say that it isn't his job but he's the one at those pressers. "But he's a good wrestler" doesn't excuse the fact Logan's almost always been a horrible person. For as "improved" as we hear the locker room is, it feels as if there's still a lot of work that needs to be done.
I really don't want to break any rules so that's the last I'll say in this topic. IMO, Paul has been a bad person since his early YouTuber days and has honestly always had go-away heat with me. It's disappointing to hear that his latest crap has essentially been waved away and I empathize with everyone who feels hurt or angry over it.

Honestly, I largely enjoyed the show but the more this kind of lingers in my mouth the more I kind of just want to drop WWE for awhile. The idea of watching Raw on Monday just makes me feel icky at this point.

I hope he and Bryan and Dave get taken to task for that. They have been putting over Logan forever and completely ignoring all of the shit he's done. Good God, it's amazing how Logan being able to do a flip well instantly makes people forget about all the scummy shit he's done as listed in the very title of this thread.

The idea of watching Raw on Monday just makes me feel icky at this point. It does just kinda suck, Logan and Nia (Not to the same extent at Logan obviously) have made me tune out of Smackdown in large swaths due to how much I loathe them, but HHH basically showing how much of a huge jackass he is tonight along with Corey and Pat really does put a damper on a product that presentation wise HAS been better, but they really have to go and dump trash all over the nice clean carpet like this.

In general I am very, VERY tired of not just people endlessly acting like Paul being a good wrestler is enough to excuse what he's done but acting like he's a good wrestler in the first f***ing place. He's a good athlete, willing to do crazy shit, and exclusively put up against people who can carry him like once every four months. Anyone could be putting on good matches under those same conditions, he isn't special. It's the Shane McMahon formula back when he had cardio.

The idea of watching Raw on Monday just makes me feel icky at this point. the commentary now that it’s been some time away from the show is what’s kinda doing it for me. I was already obviously upset and still very excited for the show but going back and listening to it, that whole match feels like them outright telling us to f*** off? like maybe I’m putting shit where it isn’t but that’s the vibe. rest of the show not so much, I liked most of it

I paraphrased the Vinny quote but it was something along the lines of "there has always been crappy people who've been good wrestlers", et cetera. I'm not 100% sure, I'll have to listen to the show again once it goes on demand.
Vinny has always been a decent dude so I'm not sure if he meant any harm but I'm over the "he's still a good wrestler" stuff at this point lol

I heard Pat and Corey talk about how they respected him and just noped out (I was behind the live telecast so I was able to fast forward).

I really thought somebody would ask about it at the press conference. Incredibly disappointing all around.

I’m just glad that the veneer of WWE somehow being a kinder, gentler, more welcoming and progressive company under Triple H is starting to crumble, I guess.
It’s still WWE and it still f***ing sucks. I can’t wait for Logan Paul to inevitably win a championship in Saudi Arabia.
This is why I’ll gladly stick with the outlaw mudshow for my fake sports fix.

I kinda zoned out because I wanted the shit to be over and just looked at it like two stick figures fighting lol on second listen is when I’m like hey ayo
