I have. For the record, being raped doesn't make you normal or abnormal or anything. It makes you a victim.

And a female, apparently

The thing that you're describing as happening 'often', does not happen often at all in my experience. I (sadly) have heard many accountings of sexual abuse and when in my experience, if a comparasome is made, it's more like to refer to previous sexual abuse, not an accident or injury that had nothing to do with the subject of sexual abuse in the first place.

There's that made up "experience" coming to your rescue once again.

- I've been a social services worker in the prison with the highest security requirements in my country. Me linking people not knowing how they come across (in a high stakes situation like a court case) to a malicious personality disorder thing stems from my experience in that field.   It's a red flag that i take into account when assessing the entire situation.

 

 

the first thing that your "experience" would have taught you is that you can't make that kind of judgement about a person you've never fucking met.

There's a red flag alright but Ashley ain't waving it

This took the cake for me. I have never heard a rape victim describe her assault in such a manner. Mostly because the kind of trauma we're talking is not something you'd compare to anything else. Comparing the pain of sexual assault to the pain of wrestling injuries is insane, to em. It seems to me she just tries to bring the story back aroud to the lawsuit against WWE.

Actually people who have been victims of either heinous acts or suffered in some other way that a normal person couldn't comprehend often compare their experiences to seemingly mundane day to day events.

You haven't heard it before because you're a dickhead who hasn't spent any time around such people.

That's by a wide margin my favourite thing they've done. For all the talk of being an "alternative", I think a lot of us are looking in the wrong places - we're looking for a different way of presenting the in-ring product, whereas actually the most important changes are behind the scenes, or in how they engage with the outside world.

The WWE are probably already working on an autism friendly Undertaker entrance on the off chance that AEW get some serious traction from this

The fight highlighted the margins at this level of boxing. One second AJ was in total control - "Ruiz was an out of shape can" the headline. Then one terrible bit of decision making changed the course of his career (if only temporary) - "Ruiz was overlooked by all; what a fighter. AJ overrated and a quitter".

I noticed the great Paulie Malinagioajsneh was very critical of AJ's corner over their instructions. Not something I picked up, but he reckons AJ was totally bewildered and needed more tactical advice than he received.

I'm sure he'll be back and have some success but it wouldn't surprise me if Ruiz turns out to be Joshua's very own Lloyd Honeyghan

It was a good match, it was hardly Hart/Austin.

The eye roll is more that you could bet your house that whatever the best match on the card was Meltzer was going to give it five stars, regardless of whether it deserved it or not.

He's their hype man.

Meltzer gave the Rhodes boys five stars🙄

If Labour don't jump on a second referendum their fucking idiotic. 

Diane Abbott is all over it, she's decided  “supporting a people’s vote strongly now because it’s the right thing to do and it’s the democratic thing to do”, or to put it another way she's cottoned on to the idea it's a vote winner.

Just don't let her try and count the votes.

I'd say he's one of the most over rated. He's good but no where near worthy of the fellating he gets from some quarters. 

Absolutely, he does a cracking dusty/ flair love child bit ( with a dash of super smark) on promo's and skits but bell to bell he's still a one I paced Cooke cutter guy

Anagram or it doesn't count 

Tank Abbott looks like one of those pensioners who gets pissed and then tries to offer everyone in the pub out for a fight, the young lads humour him out of respect and back away.

Just being positive and excitable about a competitor the industry needs and is re-engaging lapsed fans like me. There really isn't anything wrong with championing something you want to be successful, is there?

Dave Meltzer is like marmite on here, but I like this tweet!

Meltzer is AEW's biggest mark. Reckon he'll give the event as a whole 7 1/2 stars

someone should have told AEW that Fat Axl is always either upper Midcard or in the main event solely so he can do the job for an actual headliner 

The Unauthorised Bash Brothers Experience is another piece of Samberg gold

Didn't he end up getting smacked by Joey Styles or something? 

Yeah but he was drunk so it didn't count

Got to be. You have to assume they have it as well, seeing as it happened before an episode of Raw. It’s not like it was on some random house show. 

Doubt they'd ever use it for anything, it'd just be rattling the Martha Hart tree and I think that's something they can do without

I have ridiculously high hopes for this, Picard was always the non-gimmicked Trek character that I found the most interesting and this just has the feel of making the best use of him 

Blues stretching the credibility of the word "restaurant" to breaking point there

People thinking that this story will somehow get some traction and actually have an effect on the WWE should probably look at how much of a dent the James Deen scandal made in the porn industry.

Wrestling and porn, peas in a septic pod

While Davids view is somewhat extreme it is also nearer the truth than most people are comftable with. Ali is held up high. Therefore he must be judged accordingly. He fails. Forget Frazier. Its Ernie Terrell you should be looking to. A man butchered for using a 'slave name'. He was proud to use his own 'slave name' and thought he was promoting a fight. If only Ali or a member if his crew gad told him it wasnt a work.......but they didnt and Ali instead picked him aparty like a fly

Kurt Angle

Can I ask why?

 

Not having a go, just curious?

I thought it made a change from nominating Cena and I also think that nominating someone like Khali is too easy, Khali has no choice but to be shit while Angle seems to choose to be crappy spot monkey so he gets my vote.

Michaels vs Taker. It made you want to see them wrestle, can't think of too many other WWE/TNA feuds that have had that effect this year.

AJ Styles vs Frank Trigg

The second half of the Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe 'MMA Match'
