    Whatever did happen with Styles? All I can find is he made a ‘grab her by the pussy’ joke. It’s definitely in bad taste, but there are plenty of people that have done and said way worse that are still in and around wrestling so it feels like I’m missing something.

      The pussy joke iirc is what ended his wrestling career (and now also iirc he works at a pharma company), but I seem to recall he also later on made a series of right-wingish tweets. Lemme check…

      • Grab em by the pussy comment
      • During Obama’s presidency he was a birther fuck:

      “Obama hid from his middle name, Hussein, during the election and now brags about how many Muslims live in America. He’s a fraud.”

      • Anti-abortion fuck

      "The (Catholic) University of Notre Dame should be ashamed of themselves for having pro-abortion President Obama speak at their graduation.

      Even those misled Americans who voted for the Marxist Barack Hussein Obama are invited to join the Judgment Day Live Chat on WWEUNIVERSE.com." - https://www.wrestlezone.com/news/194329-joey-styles-takes-aim-at-us-president-barack-obama

      • Some (like me) are still pissy about his comments on Mike Awesome suggesting he should have killed himself for ‘betraying ECW’ (ya know, by not being paid by them and wanting to feed his family) and eventually did kill himself.

      • Was indeed not good enough for Backlash

      There’s probably more but I think that’s it.

        That’s disappointing, but it’s also kind of a relief that he just has shitty ideas instead of doing something that got him MeToo’d or something.

          Yeah on the collective ‘How Shit Are These Pro Wrestling Personalities’ rating list, while Joey is sadly listed, he’s pretty comparably low compared to the rest.
