Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows! So, this morning I was informed by Pro Wrestling Overtime that she disagreed with my newsletter. Awesome! Thank you for disagreeing with me...however, you didn't listen to the podcast called The TK Incident where I elaborated on the points made in the newsletter? This is a response to that podcast because there is 1 thing I didn't appreciate being told. If that particular comment wasn't made, I wouldn't do this podcast episode.
I even elaborated on other ideas and themes in this on going back and forth between TK and Big Swole.
I tell it all. Here are the points:
Why didn’t the AEW women come to Big Swole’s aid on the grounds of: how dare you talk this about a woman, a female athlete who’s taken bumps for the business all while dealing Crohn’s disease, a selfless soul who was nicknamed Mama Swole, and just in general of not dismissing her comments?
Everyone in AEW does multiple jobs. That’s against labor laws; they are overworked and have many, many accidents and mistakes during their matches. A wrestler shouldn’t be a coordinator for a rosters problem. It’s okay to hire a team for this; you can get able workers from agencies.
If TK really wanted to work in wrestling, why did it take him so long to do? Why didn’t he go around the local indies in Florida (there’s more there than NYC) and talk to a promoter to ask how to get started. I started from the ground up and I’ve built this brand myself without giving up on wrestling live. If TK did that route, you know pay his dues, then he would know that rule number 1 is not to burry talent no matter if they are working for your or not.
Then I discuss my experience of feeling that same dismissal during my career. Asshole men.
