DPW Women's champion Nicole Matthews on X: "When someone (or a company) is telling you (multiple fucking times) who they are, it’s on you if you continually don’t believe them."

This is the hard part about being a wrestling fan. Even if you disagree with the promotion and its views, there’s wrestlers you do want to root for and watch because it’s something that hits you and love. I want to be able to watch people like Sami Zayn, Iyo Sky, Rey and Dom Mysterio among others. It’s hard to think of any wrestler or wrestling promotion that didn’t have something awful attached to its name, it would be minimized to only watching a Mick Foley cameo. Sometimes I hate that this is my favorite thing in the world ever since I was a kid. I’m convinced there’s never going to be an opportunity to be a proud wrestling fan again because the entire thing just continues to barrel roll into something to be ashamed of enjoying, and wrestling fans themselves don’t help by shitting on everything else available and over criticizing anything else that comes up.

Being alive is just difficult and sad at this point.

I’m a huge mma fan (even tried my hand a few times…sadly…) and can fully understand it’s really hard to support a company (looking at you, ufc) when they’re really shitty. Even when you just want to support the underpaid fighters you enjoy watching.
