Sad to hear. Forbes went all the way in on Wrestling fans for social media bullying.

Kimura’s death will bring about much-needed discussions of social media behavior, especially among the rabid Internet Wrestling Community, which is among the most toxic of fanbases—not to mention ecosystems—in any corner of sports or entertainment. The onset of the Wednesday Night Wars has brought a whole new wave of toxicity amid constant squabbling between WWE vs. AEW brand loyalists. The amount of social media filth was enough to force The Young Bucks off Twitter.

:picard:

why do they have to make it about the Bucks and AEW though... :skip:

Bit of a reach but id say it establishes a trend and illustrates that how people handle that stress is different.

To that end imagine if Paige didnt have the support she did and ended her life after her life fell apart a few years ago.

shyt is terrible and all over a reality show.

Shout out to Forbes for calling the IWC a toxic fan base. It’s disgusting decent wrestling fans like TSC (at least a good amount of us) Have to fall under the banner. :francis:

It's why I don't really interact with people online about wrestling except for here. This shyt matters way too much to some of these clowns.

Yeah, TSC is the only place online where I post about wrestling. Even before I found this place I kept it very minimal With Wrasslin message boards. I think this is Like the fifth forum I ever posted on where I discussed it. (I’m including PC as one, too.)

So I'm at the point where Onita came back from the knee injury. He's basically a different guy altogether. I'm not even talking about the loss of explosiveness, cardio being worse, heavier, slower, which are to be expected coming off of a catastrophic knee injury. What really stands out is his fire and charisma also were lost. It's like his passion is completely shot and if I had to guess his first retirement probably had more to do with that than injuries. Unless he picks up a gang of injuries in the last 3 months of 1984.

Also:

Like fellow professional wrestler, Scott Steiner, Onita has also claimed to have broken Wilt Chamberlain's record of sleeping with 20,000 women. Coincidentally, his exit from politics was forced by a sex scandal in which he was alleged to have used government accommodations to host a threesome with a pornographic film actress and a female employee of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation.[76] After retirement from politics, he lent his name and image to a Nintendo DS game, Atsushi Onita's Political Quiz.[77]

The Kimura story is fukking terrible :to:

I wish people would stop being a$$holes for the sake of it but I don't have that kind of faith in humanity. I also wish people wouldn't take shyt online so seriously but that also seems like a lost battle, specially with younger generations :mjcry:

:wow:keep the same energy.

*Random IWC fan after Kimura's death*

"Dear God, social media is a toxic space that needs to be cleaned:mjcry:"

*Random IWC fan during Roman Reign's cancer leave*

":ehh:good"

Keep the same fukking energy is all I asked. Don't half step especially when Nia Jax does her umpteenth botch.

What separates TSC from wrestling twitter is that we know the shyt is fake (hopefully most of yall:mjlol:). Its all legit jokes, common stannery, blessings of fukkery, and occasional trolling. Meanwhile on other forums including fukking reddit it's a cesspool of disgusting neckbeards that buy wrestling shirts for full price:picard:. I'm talking about "mom get the fukking tenders, I'm typing ya bytch" type of moments with them dudes. At least, there's a line we try not to cross and once it happens, either we ridicule the breh into wrestling court or just ban the fukker (............sometimes:francis:).

All in all, this is the only place I can actually have a full blown conversation with brehs and not feel like I'm talking to binary codes about the shyt :ld:

Imagine if Gedo brought in Val Venis, who could have been HHH, into the G1. The promos :mjcry:

"OKADDAAAAAUHHHH. I AAMMMMUUUHHHHH. THE GAMMMMMMEEEUUHHHHHH."

With Chris Charlton wondering why HHH decided to go with a racist gimmick by making fun of local dialects.
