I’m aware of all that and I’m sympathetic to a point, but it’s 2021. These guys know what they’re signing up for, the pitfalls of their line of work have been well documented in depth and the scrutiny from the public has always been there. It’s not 1983 and the business is still so safe guarded that you’ve gotta slap reporters for calling it fake. Like someone else in here said, the WWE Network has content that specifically shows and tells the inner workings of the business, the lid has been off. At some point, as professional adults in the public eye, you’ve gotta have a level of restraint to stop from getting emotional from a tweet that was pretty harmless all things considered.
Quite frankly, this locker room doesn’t have the heart to confront this, as you put it, lunatic out of touch boss on his shyt. They pretty consistently, however, always go for low hanging fruit to dogpile and attack. Randy Orton and T-Bar (
) may not have been apart of the Twitter mob that came after Lio Rush when he made an innocent joke at Emma’s expense a few years ago, but their peers did. Just as they did when Dave Meltzer made an off hand awkward remark about Peyton Royce and had virtually the entire WWE locker room coming for his head.
That’s the point I’m making with these guys. Pick your battles. A rapper making a throwaway tweet should be the least of their concerns when every few weeks we get reports of how “unhappy the locker room is” over whatever Vince is doing next, like muscling in on their streaming revenue or cutting talent amidst a pandemic. We never hear about talent being outspoken about any of that but they have time and energy and passion to come at Big Draco
