One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.

Wow. That's...wow. Like...dumbfounded.
I avoid X like the plague, so I don't think I see much of that nonsense anymore.

It's SO weird that wrestling fans are like this. I don't get it. Surely an environment where people who do the thing you love are able to have a career and make money for their family is a good thing?

Good for him, I hope he's happy there and finds what he is looking for. I've always felt he has the potential to be great, given the right environment. The best thing about the current climate is that wrestlers are able to move around to find what best fits them.

The Femicide Census have a list of the names of women who were murdered/suspected to be murdered by men in 2024. More will be added as little known cases go to court - kareningalasmith.com/2024/08/14/2...

I saw that too and was weirdly thinking about it only yesterday. He really was rather bitter towards LWT at the end.

Not your fault, Jim; you didn’t say it! I think sometimes we as wrestling fans get used to this kind of rhetoric and become desensitised to it. I know my non-wrestling-fan partner has pointed stuff out to me in the past that I’ve blown past because, hey, wrasslin.

That was 90s misogyny in the worst way. Cheap and made me want to switch off the show. Tacky and boring.

Agreed. Pity that JJ promo earlier in the show broke the misogyny meter already innit? 🤦♀️
