Super Cena Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Why is everybody instantly giving Cole the benefit of the doubt? Â For all we know, by night there's every chance that he's a homosexual-bashing, homophobic menace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 either that or he's like possibly homophobic or considers those slurs the norm, not saying he is; but we don't know him for shit do we. ask AJ Styles.  The gay community???  WWE responded by stating that they alerted GLAAD to Cole's post and addressed the situation with him. "Michael will be included in the training session being done by GLAAD," WWE officials noted as part of their statement. Credit: prowrestlingnet.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS269 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 How daft is that from Cole to say that, less than a couple of weeks after Cena got hung up to dry for (what could be interpreted as) homophobic statements. He broke character on his twitter when he apologized anyway, Apparently the comment was an in-joke with Josh, wonder what the joke is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 That Josh is gay? Â If Cole said this on air, I'd have no problems with it, as he's a heel and heels are meant to be dicks. Doing it out of the blue on Twitter is a bit dumb though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Green Posted March 27, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Josh should've covered for him by tweeting back "in gravy?" Â This whole situation could've been avoided then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Complete non story as far as I am concerned just another example of someone doing something dumb on the internet and everyone jumping on it like he praised Hitler while kicking kittens around.

Paid Members WWFChilli Posted March 27, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 If Josh is gay but banging Rue DeBona then you must need a real hot chick to not be a "fag" across the pond then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Never knew he was married to Rue DeBona, anyway, I can't see anything happening beyond Cole being bollocked a bit by Vince and doing this session with GLAAD so that it blows over  On a different note, the title of this thread sounds like a great name for a late 70's punk band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_3165 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Despite this being a fairly low key story I am glaad that WWE are addressing the homophobic views which appear to permiate from the organisational structure of wrestling. People might think Cole's views are low level stuff but as a public figure he should consider his choice of words carefully. Â I often believe some people do not understand, through ignorance, the impact use of language has on a group of people especially one as small as LGBT communities. Â John cena made a mishap by using what some deem as homophobic language in his edgey promo against The Rock. Now, being the lead face of a company means you influence the audience - who currently are in their teens for a large part. If the biggest GOOD GUY in the company uses such language then impressionable children will see that as a role model and will possibly use that language themselves. Â It baffles me how someone in such a position can make such a na Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
