Incidentally, Riho vs Nyla is the main event of Rampage tonight Good. I wonder if they changed the match order because of this, to show Riho support? Would make sense since Henry didn’t interview anyone.

Nobody deserves to be treated to the kind of bile and toxicity that Riho received just for existing. She hasn't done anything to warrant the sort of unhinged hatred that has developed around her. A friend showed me some stuff from people in wrestling groups he's in talking about how 'people can share their opinions if they want to' and some people are just so f***ing freakish and deranged online that they'd be willing to co-sign this insane shit using their real name and face. Nyla puts up with a lot of shit as well as a trans woman, and it's just as bad if not worse. But yeah, nobody deserves to be subjected to that, and shame on the individuals who partake in it. Heartbreaking when she mentions she doesn't get put onto posters and promo graphics often because when she does, the comments turn into vile shitshows of transphobia. Just an absolute f***ing hell time.

Not to pile onto JR, but in light of all of this his constant bah gawd she’s 98 pounds was even more annoying than usual.

I'll be fair to JR, this commentary was filmed days ago But I agree he doesn't need to spam it, I think Riho's weight does matter in matches to highlight the mismatch but Excalibur and Jericho were lobbying it better than he was

Just an absolute f***ing hell time. And considering the current environment isn't in a good place for trans people right now, it makes matters so much worse. It's very reminiscent of the lavender scare back in the day, and it goes to show that we still have a long ways to go yet.
It's a shame that people like Nyla are still treated as if they're subhuman trash. She's a great person and deserves so much better.

Frankly Jim Ross shouldn't even be calling matches with Asian women after the shit he pulled in the pre-Dynamite PPVs where he made full-on 'happy ending' jokes during a women's tag match. His 98 pounds stuff is approached in the most infantilizing way possible but honestly there'sd just no way to even excuse that he's still calling matches at all because he's a weirdo pig and you shouldn't have to get him to promise not to make demeaning sexual remarks about Asian women and be a good boy.

I don't know if he means it a lot of the time but his comments are definitely showing the guy isn't adapting to the times well and that's why his commentary role in AEW's shrinking it feels like by the month

People who do shit like this fill me with rage. Its been almost three years since we lost Hana. And I miss her constantly. There should be consequences for behavior like this.

It's having experiences with people like that growing up that turned me away from people in general. I can tell you from personal experience that it takes a huge toll on one's mental health.

I infiltrated a Cornette group and, at first in a way that was non-accusatory, but I quickly dropped the mask after seeing responses, and I told them just don’t be an asshole. A handful of people agreed with the sentiment, but I saw enough people say things like “it’s what happens to people who face the public” and “she’s too soft.” I started to get the impression that they actually know they’re assholes and take pride in the fact. f*** that whole fandom.
oh, and they called me a simp, too.

Jim Cornette should be blackballed from the wrestling industry. Glad his toadies are no longer skulking around here.

There's a reason his takes got banned here long ago, and he has only reinforced that point since F*** Jim Cornette, he does terrible shit, he actively hurts wrestlers lives who never did a thing to him, and he doesn't care.

I agree with the general point of him being a dinosaur that says awful shit, though I don't think he's necessarily trying to single her out with the 98 pounds thing so much as paint her as an underdog in a way that, yeah, still honestly is too infantilizing, same as his "more heart than brains" kinds of things he'd say about Crash Holly and other small guys.

I agree, it does annoy me when he says it about Riho constantly but I think JR's intentions are good, unlike some others we could mention.

As a big fan of Riho, this infuriates me to no end. She's getting a bunch of hate just because a decaying old piece of shit wants attention.
I'm glad that her Instagram is still up, and that twitter is currently lit up with people tearing cornette a new one. I'm wondering about buying her shirt on ShopAew (I wish she had more than just that one design on sale).

It sickens me that despite having come so far as a species we still have to deal with ignorance and hate on a scale such as this.
And this so called Cult should be condemned to watch Russo Era WCW Clockwork Orange style for a good long while.

It's not even that they haven't learned from Hana. They don't f***ing care. They think it's cool or funny and the anonymity of being in an online world only makes it worse. f*** these people, f*** Cornette and f*** anyone who listens to his drivel.

Yeah, I agree that I don’t necessarily think he’s being malicious (although, as others have pointed out, at best he has an antiquated view of Asian women), but there’s a difference between pointing out a weight difference in a match to try and build her up as an underdog and, during a post-match beatdown being like “bah gawd, they’re going after the 98 pounder.” At that point it’s just gratuitous and feeds into Cornette’s bullshit that is the source of all of this.

I was a crappy person in my teenage and young adult years and acted like a dick to a lot of people online. I'm glad I grew up, these bozos need to do the same.
