ParanoidObsessive 06/29/19 7:37:43 AM #376:	Taily_Po posted... Clickbait reads, "How the WWE Star died," and showed a photo I didn't really recognize. The story? https://www.tmz.com/2019/05/21/ashley-massaro-hanging-suicide-wwe/ Once again the media is getting veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery liberal with its use of the term, "star." Ashley Massaro was a short-lived diva who was with the company for maybe 2-3 years and never held the women's title despite working at a time when the title didn't mean much. Ehh, she was actually relatively significant in the division at the time. It just doesn't seem like it because it was at a time when the company as a whole was in a downturn, and the women's division was still mostly just a joke. Actual reputable wrestling news sources addressed it after it happened because it's not like she was a fly-by-night member of the roster who dropped in for a cup of coffee and not much else. And she really only retired because her daughter had medical issues and she needed to stay home to care for her, so it's not like they dropped her or she faded into obscurity by virtue of a lack of talent. I don't know if that article mentions it because I respect myself as a person too much to ever click on any link with "TMZ" in it, but one of the major reasons her death became more of a story is because it helped throw more light on the fact that she'd previously sued the WWE over allegations that she'd been raped during one of the company's tours to support the troops in Kuwait, but company officials just brushed it off and pressured her into not saying anything about it publically (which is 110% believable based on literally everything we know about how upper management works in the WWE). There were implications that her suicide might have been related to it (ie, she never really got over the trauma and only really held off on killing herself as long as she did because she had to take care of her daughter until she was an adult). Ultimately, we're never likely to know the real truth of the situation, seeing as the only people left who know what really happened all have reasons for lying and reputations for being deceitful. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:924004192] in PotdMon: N...
