[Facetious]

It's an incredibly long read, but it's scary how all this stuff went down and Booker retaliated against her.

[Facetious]

Hyan posted screenshots where Shawn Reed (the stalker) admits he brought a gun to one of the shows.

I admit that I misread the name earlier as "Shawna Reed", but turns out it's a male wrestler with a similar name.

Anyway, that whole situation's f***ed up.

Honestly before reading the whole story I was ready to read the riot act towards Booker but it sounds like he defused a possible mass shooting situation and told the talent if he's at the bar after the show to avoid him and they'll go somewhere else. But then her and the talent confronted him and got into a fight causing some talent to get injured. Not saying what Booker did was right but it's definitely not like he didn't try to protect her either.

Yeah. The thread title is very misleading here after reading the article.

Yeah I'd urge everyone to read the article rather than the inflammatory thread title.

It's a tough position but based on the article, that's not how you handle the situation and it's an awful look for Booker and the promotion.

Right, nothing like defusing a situation by bringing back a guy threatening violence into the building. The whole situation is a failure on multiple levels from the police to Booker. Women shouldn't have to deal with a crazy stalker and not be afforded safety

The article reads like it wasn't even her initial decision to stay at the bar, but a bunch of talent going in, staying, adn then everyone else kinda sticking in with that. There were seven different wrestlers circled around him yelling at him, I think firing her specifically for being stalked is absolutely a shit move. I don't think the title is misleading at all.

It's better to keep a person there and keep track of him rather than letting him loose and God only knows when he'll come back

[kingoftheindies]

Sounds like a failure on a lot of levels. Hopefully Raychell Rose is in a good place though

I also read it as Shawna instead of Shawn at first glance when the news came out last night. I was like "...what?!" but then I realised it was "Shawn".

In regards of the article, generally speaking, I feel Booker failed in many levels, mainly because you failed to protect the victim of stalking. Hope Raychelle Rose gets the support she needs.

If anyone should've been fired, it should have been the absolute dumbass who didn't tell Booker a damn word of this going on. An ex-student is stalking your talent, showing up to shows when not allowed, gets banned from showing up to shows, shows up uninvited anyway, gets escorted out, and you still don't tell the boss 'Hey this incident is an issue we should control this'. I think it's hollow to invite the guy back into the building to control the situation if you aren't going to call the cops on him while he's under your foccus, but then instruct everyone else to stay away. Booker f***ed up in this situation too, and he took it out on a bunch of people.

[kingoftheindies]

Booker made comments on this and Raychell responded. Seems like things are gonna come out worse for ROW

Booker T. is so WWE through and through, it doesn't come as a surprise his own company would be run in a way where a victim would not be protected.

[Facetious]

Shocker that the man who claimed the story only came out to hurt his school and it's reputation is just spouting bullshit. I'll modify the "misleading title"

[Mayonnaise]

Known egotistical, lying, jackass makes false comments to protect his fragile ego. f*** Booker T. I hate he keeps getting employment.
