There is a growing trend lately among some segments of the pro wrestling fanbase where people are showing an abhorrent and complete lack of empathy for professional wrestlers getting legitimately injured. I understand this is a grey area because on the one hand we are literally always presenting you with the story of “hey watch this jerk get hurt because it’s what they deserve”. I also understand that this is often further compounded by the fact that we also often present the story of “they are actually hurt…just kidding they are a faking jerk.” That being said, try to err on the side of caution when appropriate. That’s a real human being with real emotions trying to process the extent of their injury in real time and how it will impact the people in their lives who rely on them physically and/or financially. Or for another common example, there is a real person in that viral clip that you jokingly commented on, and they might now have to deal with the potential lifelong ramifications of a serious head/neck/body injury. Do we sign up for this? Yes. Do we understand the risks? Yes. Are some of us financially compensated handsomely for this risk? Some, yes, but not most. None of this changes the fact that anyone who has ever stepped foot in a pro wrestling ring did that with the intent of entertaining you, the people, the fans, and if something legitimately negative happens to us on our journey toward achieving that goal, we don’t want to be mocked or ridiculed for trying our best to bring you joy. This includes another common circumstance in the pro wrestling world, and that’s wrestlers getting fired/released/un-renewed. Do some wrestlers say or do controversial/polarizing things? Yep. Are some just genuinely bad people who do genuinely bad things? Unfortunately yes. Try your best as an observer to critically identify when this is factually and definitively the case, and then directly address that action or statement as opposed to abstractly determining that the wrestler “got what they deserved” which doesn’t facilitate any meaningful change or influence, it just adds on more negativity. Long story short, enjoy, have fun, have an opinion, voice your opinion, but don’t be a dick.

Huge birthday shout out to the homie @klown13420!!! Thank you for all the love and support. I hope you have a good one!!!

I mean… JK. But for real though if you have a problem with Bear then chances are you’re the problem. Grow up.

Today is 10 years of marriage to the best woman I could ever be with. We’ve been through a lot together and I love her more and more every day as we figure our way through life together. You only get one life I’m so grateful I get to spend it with you. I heard this poem gimmick a while back but I couldn’t find it again so I did my best to remember it. “When I tell you that I love you forever, I don’t mean that I’m “going” to love you forever. I mean that I love you forever right now, all of the love I have ever had or will ever have, all the love that I could fit in this lifetime and the next is yours in this moment. And in the next moment I will love you forever again and in the moment after that. My love for you is not finite, not something that can be worn out or stretched thin, it’s an infinite renewable resource, a perpetual motion machine. There is no reason to wait until forever comes to love you forever, today I will give you all of the love I could ever possibly hold and tomorrow I’ll give it all to you again. I love you forever right now, I will love you forever always.”

A.I is out of control these days.

Delete this….

Because I’m hurt and I want to go home? If what I gave in the ring wasn’t enough then they aren’t a fan I want.

And we out! Thank you Los Angeles. I was only here a few hours but it’s been dope. Caught a nasty stinger early in the match but powered through. Shout out to my partner for continually checking in on me during and after the match. We’re the WORLD champs for a reason, we’re always on the same page. I’m taking next week off to celebrate being married to be best woman in the world for 10 years!!!! I’m not sure what I did to deserve this life but if a little pain and losing some sleep is all I gotta go through to keep it I’ll gladly keep going and going and going! I love you all!

GCW WORLD tag team champion.

@HeyLookItsRu sent this to me like 2 years ago! It was dope getting to meet her finally this weekend at homecoming!!

It took a greyhound bus from Atlantic City to NYC, a subway ride and another bus to get here but I’m finally on the plane and on the way home. What an incredible weekend. Bringing the gold back to Oklahoma! I’m home for 2 1/2 days then it’s Gathering time!!!! I’m sore, I’m exhausted, I got more holes in me then when I came but I’m feeling so incredibly grateful. It’s privilege to be this tired, thank you all for this life I get to live. I love you all.

Can confirm.
