Did Blair Davenport play a hand in using her fame to blackball someone that claimed his friend raped her? Did she also threaten to not do PROGRESS shows if they didn't hire back his rapist buddy? Your logic makes no sense. Actually? Yes. A LOT of people in Britwres at the time say the reason Ospreay used to be such a dick is Blair's fault, and she kept using Will's popularity to score points over petty backstage beef. In fact in Will's non-pology to Polly he mentioned an incident where she screamed at Blair at a seminar that seems to only exist in the head of Blair Davenport. Please also note that Will largely seems to be improving as a person now he's away from her, Paul, and Scotty. Ah that's fair then! Thanks for clarifying

Hey guys, I’m back from the timeout I was arbitrarily in because Tony Khan did something controversial a couple of weeks ago.
Did I miss anything exciting?

Yeah in the end I don't think Khan's comment is gonna matter given the NFL is all running with this.

I'm sorry but he's not "improving as a person" he blackmailed progress into bringing back his mate last year. The guy who was named in speaking out for cuddling up to drunk 15 year olds backstage. He also owed fans for the longest time(not sure if he still does) for those who paid for his documentary.

Good lord is this squared circle with all the concern troll pearl clutching? Let's be real. It was an amazing fake out. It hasn't ruined any goodwill except for the fake goodwill that never existed from the drone keyboard warriors. Get ummm TK.

If the NFL doesn't seem to give a shit about what he said and is continuing to play along with the angle, then who gives a f***? Yes, it was stupid thing that he said. But as others have pointed out, in the grand scheme of things, it's not the worst thing someone connected to the NFL has said or done. I didn't even really see it as a big deal myself. It's the wrestling media and online fan community that are making this out to be the huge deal that it isn't. But at this point, I'm ready to just say chicken mcf***it.

People acting like he said something untrue or stupid.It was not the place or the person to do so, but there if WWE didnt want to be the Harvey Winston they should been involved with multiple sexual harassment to a deep level.
People are more mad at Tony for bringing up than anyone on WWE not doing anything about it

It's getting really tiring being called a 'concern troll' or 'bad faith' anytime I say anything remotely negative about this company.

It hasn't ruined any goodwill except for the fake goodwill that never existed from the drone keyboard warriors. Get ummm TK. Lord, I hope not. I just managed to escape the Reddit cesspool. It’s bananas over there. I have unsubscribed to both Squared Circle & The NJPW sub in the last month....the r/AEWOfficial sub is the only wrestling sub I follow on my carefully curated Reddit feed... I've stopped reading Cageside Seats except for the rumors posts 6 days a week with my morning coffee because their bullshit finally got on my nerves enough to change my reading habits (their coded messaging clickbait trolly. article titles to drive engagement via toxic tribalism was the final straw)... this place is literally the last place on the internet I read, let alone engage with, when it comes to discussing wrestling....and in recent months the ooze of those toxic ass corners of the internet have started slithering in here. Which I very much don't like BUT at least our army of shitposters and GIF merchants mostly drown them out.

It's getting really tiring being called a 'concern troll' or 'bad faith' anytime I say anything remotely negative about this company. Well acting like he "destroyed all his goodwill" is bullshit too. It was a dumb comment but nobody's gonna remember this shit over what's actually happening on the shows. Not calling you a concern troll either, but there has been an overreaction to this, and plenty have called it out.

I really don't get it. Was what he said stupid, maybe, I can see rolling your eyes at it. The reaction TK has gotten though makes it seem like he went "We're like Pepsi and they're a blood cult worshipping Ottis Toole and feasting on the innards of 9th trimester aborted fetuses"

Whilst I do think his comments weren't necessary, I don't really get some of the...''over-the-top'' reactions personally.
