Reason #457323 successful wrestling will always be a carny business, and carny businesses are run by outlaws, social outcasts, predators, and morally dubious figures.
Heckin' wholesome wrestling will never create what the past drew.

It feels like the best wrestler stories are behind us, too. There used to be an urban legend mistique around figures from the Hogan era all the way up to Cena's time, where you could compile hours upon hours of compelling shoots from everyone that worked those years. Drugs, violence, sex, pure carny shit that's so entertaining to hear, and wouldve never been allowed to see any airtime during its time

Nowadays, everything is on tape, wrestlers lay everything on their socials, and removing the carny factor leaves you with petty locker room drama for stories. Unless it's something like Punk choking Jungle Boy in front of Tony Khan, the shoots are just not that interesting anymore
 
It's always crazy listening to an episode of the Deadlock podcast's retro review and hear them reading old Wrestling Observer Newsletter stories for it all to be "Mick Foley's begun training for his MMA debut, Sandman crashed his car into a Wendy's during a drug bender, Jim Cornette's wife is fucking the wrestling bear, and Horace Hogan's opened a law firm in Russia." It really makes dirt sheets nowadays feel pretty boring.

Horace Hogan as Scuffed Steve Austin on Deadlock is one of the greatest pods of all time.

This. It's literally a carny industry and promoters are so shady that they make wrestlers look normal. Promoters up through the 70s (and probably longer) used to only book women's wrestlers if they'd fuck them. There were rumors that Dusty Rhodes got Babydoll fired from JCP because she wouldn't blow him. Promoters would often intentionally underreport crowd size so they could pay the wrestlers lower and indie promoters have been known to leave before the show is over with the box of money. Promoters have been known to pay wrestlers with pills, drugs and booze instead of money. The NWA, whose members were promoters, used to run wrestling like the mafia and even thought about hiring a hitman to kill Vince for going national. Heyman would get ECW wrestlers to charge stuff to their credit cards and take out loans, promising to pay them back, then would not pay them back and when they left (because of not getting paid or reimbursed) he'd get the ECW roster against them by calling them traitors.

Vince is obviously fucked up and not any better, but it's not like the other promoters were any better. If they had the power Vince had, they'd have done the same shit and probably worse in a lot of cases

There is no mystery or larger then life antics anymore so it seems, the wrestling fan of today can easily see behind the curtain now and see everything is all rather mundane.

John Cena appeared on The Simpsons.
The way he's drawn doesn't really look like him. I've seen people say he looks more like Dave Meltzer.

I am sure there's still some juicy shit that goes on, but not nearly as much as it did in the 80s and stuff. Like Ken Patera being arrested for throwing a brick through a McDonald's window lol. Or more shitty stuff like what the Bulldogs did to Matilda. I've heard rumors about AEW afterparties being pretty drug-fueled though, which is retarded on Tony's part since the company could be held liable

I presume they are keeping Saraya because her family is still big in Brit Wres so they can feed them new talent before WWE gets their hands on them.

They aren't big. Even compared to other grotty seaside indie promotions in the UK. Her family were always known as carny Gypos who caused no end of grief for local residents. I've heard crazy stories from a friend who lived in the area when Jake the Snake was shagging Paige's mum. Paige is in AEW because she's letting Tony "title shot" on her face.

As her leaked nudes would confirm, she doesn't have an issue fucking brown men.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tony was sleeping with the whole locker room. Look at the whole Tony Storm x Mariah Mae storyline. It's why he makes everyone sign a NDA.

You take one look at how Tony Khan behaves and instantly know that man hasn't touched a woman in his entire life and if anyone came onto him he'd shrivel up and implode. He's a dork of the highest order.

My man looks high on coke or uppers consistently. When you've been seen partying with your talent on various things, things will be bound to happen. He doesn't have any game or confidence at all but he has the power of being the booker and the money to be convince some people that he can be taken advantage of. Look how Jericho takes advantage of Tony. The Learning Tree is awful. Shida was AEW Women's Champion like 3 times and that broad isn't even good. Either she was Omega's best friend or something else. Tony is so far gone into AEW that'll he'll spend whatever and do whatever to keep it sustainable. Including letting his friends take advantage of him.

Dustin I get, the dude wants to focus on his wrestling school and is provided enough freedom for someone of his age. Saraya... Really don't get. She's just not worth the headache and her prime years are behind it. Banish her to WWE and let her have a mini NXT re-run putting over the new girls.

There's no way WWE would clear her. She's one concussion away from her brain turning into soup at this point.

She is working for the one major-ish company dumb/desperate/run-by-a-moneymark enough to clear her to get in the ring.

In begrudging fairness to Shida, 2 of those runs where when she was a C+ talent amidst a sea of green as goose shit girls who couldn't talk, couldn't bump, couldn't even run the ropes and were dropping each other on their heads every match. Compared to the median AEW female wrestler circa 2020, she was practically Karl Gotch. Reminder that this was the era when the top heel group in the division was Brandi Rhodes' absolutely useless stable and Big fucking Swole was being pushed as an upper-carder. In the land of the drizzling shits, the more-or-less solid hand is king.

Only now that they have some actually talented women (to say nothing about whether they're booking them remotely intelligently and getting any value from them, of course), it's way more obvious how mid she is. Thankfully her third run with the belt late last year was mercifully brief.

What deviance has Cornette been up to?
Click to expand...
Even if you are reluctant to believe that Cornette actually forced multiple upcoming wrestlers to either fuck his wife while he watched, or else they'd get blacklisted...
...it's still pretty clear from his own words in that clip, that he doesn't have much of a problem with *literal* sexual harassment when it's done by any of the boys.

Iirc, that "checking the oil," which Corny *laughed* about multiple times in that previous clip, is sticking a finger into somebody's butthole. (Which is fucking disgusting.) Honestly that makes it pretty clear that Corny doesn't have any real problem with sexual harassment.

The only time I've ever seen Cornette express a problem with (even a hypothetical) sexual assault, is when he shits on Trump for saying (on hidden camera) that whores will *LET* you grab them by the pussy if you're rich and famous. I will admit, I am neither rich nor famous, but how is that untrue?

Corny isn't even a fraction as rich or famous as Trump is, and wrestlers *still* apparently let him sexually abuse them.

No matter how you look at it, Corny is a god damn hypocrite, and I would argue even worse than anything Trump's ever been accused of.
