Paid Members BomberPat Posted September 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 9, 2019 If you're basing your opinion based on "Aaren didn't say anything for a week", consider the people who are making that claim, and who stand to benefit. I found out about this the night of the show, because Aaren told people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after the private messages were revealed. Ah, who am I kidding, it's wrestling, people will forget about it in a few months probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time people were accusing Walter of being unsafe against Bodom, oh well. I don't think this will hurt Andy regarding the more local shows he does, the fans who go will probably never be aware of this shit storm. The cockpit shows are heavily sold on a season ticket, so he has sold most of those and those fans will forget or forgive in 4 months. However any forthcoming York Hall shows or new japan merch sales could suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of people will see RevPro's apology as the end of it, and even a lot of those who think RevPro are still at fault will suddenly forget their conscience and buy tickets the moment they announce Okada or Naito or whoever again.

He's also since said he trained for over 2 years at XWA in Morecambe. The Bodom stuff excluded, are we having that someome with 2 years training couldn't safely take a scoop slam bump given the video doing the rounds also? Edited September 9, 2019 by Jonny Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Vegas Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'm not trained so I don't know how accurately I can comment factually but having seen the video I don't know whether forcefully dumped onto the canvas is an accurate description of what happened with Sha.

Polish Dad Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) To answer the first part: I'd guess because at that point he didn't know he wouldn't be able to ref again & the easiest way to stop getting work is to be public about issues within a company (or even just not sufficiently grateful enough). He also has no memory of the Bodom attack, which suggests he was suffering from the effects of it, so I don't find it that surprising he initially didn't want to make a big deal of the Sha stuff - and he was right, seeing the way people both within & without the industry responded to it. If the Bodom stuff hadn't happened I bet the majority response would have been that Sha was right, and that he should have taken the bump properly. Edit: And as someone who also trained for quite a few years, it looked like Sha was tucking the ref's head, but if you're not ready/are resisting (because you've just been unexpectedly grabbed by a physically larger wrestler, say) then it's easy for your body to not come down flat. See it a lot in new trainees who are scared, and I could imagine a fear response kicking in for me in this situation (especially if Sha wasn't communicating).

Seratonin Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Correct action was taken so nothing to add here. Pretty sure we can't use screenshots as proof of anything so conspiracy theorists need to pipe down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
