– While speaking on ESPN’s First Take, Paul Heyman addressed the possibility of appearing at Wrestlepalooza and standing ringside with Seth Rollins after being off television since Clash in Paris. He explained that Roman Reigns had choked him out so hard that he burst blood vessels in his eye and isn’t sure if the damage is permanent.
He said, “Roman Reigns choked me out so hard. If you take a look right here, I busted all these blood vessels in my eye. I don’t know if it’s permanent damage or not.” When Stephen A. Smith asked if he felt comfortable being at ringside Saturday night for Rollins, Heyman kept fans guessing. He said he is always confident being at ringside with Seth Rollins, but whether he will actually be there depends on the strategy for the night.
– Tyrus says he’s been getting disturbing, aggressive religious messages and emails pressuring him to “take up the cause.”
The messages include prayer-threats that his wife and children “will burn in hell” unless he listens to the senders’ stories. He keeps his faith private, doesn’t discuss religion publicly, and these attacks have led his wife and daughter to remove themselves from his social media. His staff is upset by the aggressive DMs and emails. He asks people to respect his and his family’s privacy and to stop contacting him about religion.
Threatening someone towards adopting an ideology is wrong. You can suggest, speak with, or even debate. But threats and vile rhetoric never work. The socialist class still haven’t learnt this lesson. I would not be surprised if some of the emails came from those without belief in GOD, in an attempt to sow discourse in wake of the Charlie Kirk effect sweeping society.
Tyrus has stated that he is not a religious person, so unfortunately I think most of this is coming from people of faith. I don’t think they’re representing their faith well by doing it, but that’s another issue. What it underscores is that we should agree that violence, attempted violence and threats of violence are wrong, full stop, whether it’s against a conservative activist, a Democratic state lawmaker in Minnesota or the President of the United States. When we look at those we disagree with politically, religiously, etc. as not just wrong, but evil, is when those seeds are sown. That’s as close as I’m going to get to talking politics on here and probably all I’m going to say on it so we can keep this wrestling site’s focus on, you know, wrestling.
@DB
Yeah, religious people never use threats! Never, ever, ever, ever, EVER!!!
@Luke–Sometimes they do, but it comes from a place of LOVE, not hate.
@DB
I take it you’ve never watched a preacher on TV, or heard of Pat Robertson, or seen a protest outside of an abortion clinic. Religious conservatives love to use threats, direct or indirect. Believe in god or burn in hell.
