Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 24, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2018 I didn't watch WWE when Tyson was there, did watch for some of the time Austin was there. I was a child at the time, though, so it's not really a fair comparison to make compared to a personal, moral decision I have made as an adult. And, again, this isn't unique to Bram - there are several wrestlers and promotions I won't put money towards. Ultimately, I have a limited amount of free time and a limited amount of disposable income - I can invest that time and money in promotions I like, booking people I like, or in promotions that book people I don't like. That people find it "mad" that I make that choice I find very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcnish Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Louch is right and has been dominating the last few pages of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Rondo Rousey by her own admission beat up her ex partner and called transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox a 'lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak' along with other disparaging remarks so I guess anyone complaining about a company using Bram should also not watch WWE going forward.

MungoChutney Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I honestly don't know all of the history with Bram but I had heard bits and pieces via social media, mostly from the hypocritical fans that Louth is talking about. They definitely exist as I saw one guy go off on Twitter then still be at the show he was boycotting. However, I'm not interested in calling him out as I'm not a fan of online arguments, especially about something as trivial as someone acting differently on social media than they would do in real life. To me that's just creating a bigger platform for the hypocrisy in many ways. Has he ever actually been convicted of anything outside of DUI or public disorder type offences? If so then each of us has to take a decision on whether or not we can continue to support companies he works for. However, I don't think any of us then has the right to criticise others who have a different view on whether or not they'll watch a show he's on. I have very little personal experience of Bram so couldn't really make a judgement on him, although he was very nice to my son at a show once.

Joey Joe Joe Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I forgot to watch the show this week. Is it worth tracking down? I really would like to see a UK promotion succeed on TV, but from what I have seen so far, this is not looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveG Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 .It's far from perfect but it seems to be getting better every week .Take it on it's own terms - don't compare it to WWE because it'll never compete with WWE ....In a few months time you might be able to watch it because you enjoy it, not out of a sense of duty.

Joey Joe Joe Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thats what I hope. The production values seem terrible, especially when you see how a lot of UK Feds record their stuff. I know the arena's are half the problem being heavily blacked out, but it just looks cheap (especially those loose ring ropes in the first show. Seemed so amateur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also cosied up to rapist Mike Tyson, but MMA Bros seem to hold her as a feminist icon because she said something about Floyd Mayweather.

He has/did have issues but when he was clear minded he was awesome and has a great mind and love for wrestling. He is a genuinely nice guy who gets a bad rap justifibly so but I have stated in touch with him since then and he is really in a good place at the minute and I wish him nothing but the best we all make mistakes and could go down the wrong path but strength is in admitting your mistakes and learning from them. Matches every report I have had from anyone who’s had personal interactions with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
