Current Events > Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch, and New Day refused to be part of Hulk Hogan memorial

(+) Yeah! (+)

*memorial 10 Bell Salute on RAW.

Source is a podcast, but it can be Google'd easily enough for comments talking about it.

These are some of the few good people still left in WWE. Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and CM Punk have also showed support for fantastic causes.

It's depressing that it's more difficult to find the good ones than the bad.

Can Rhea be any more perfect?

Rhea da GOAT

It must sting to them that even in death the name Hulk Hogan is more relevant and brought more of a positive impact on the business (and the world) than all of them combined.

Sad, but true.

I bet a few more should've declined but were worried about punishment. WWE is run by rich Trump cult members.

Most of the popular WWE wrestlers care about money, fame and attention....not much else honestly. It's sad. AEW wrestlers tend to lean more democrat...but I haven't seen confirmation for all.

AEW tends to have more people who both have good opinions and are willing to be vocal about them. I don't doubt there are other good people within WWE, just based on who the aforementioned hang out with often, but those people don't stand up as much, likely due to fear of losing their jobs. AEW tends to be a big home for indy wrestlers that have been through so much shit already that they're more willing to be vocal about it, so you see it more, there. Which isn't to say everybody in AEW is good, because that's certainly not the case at all, but... You can kinda figure out who is and isn't pretty quickly, atleast.

I mean, nobody should be forced to support a memorial for someone they did not support.

The 4 (5? I don't know if "New Day" includes Big E, still, or not. He definitely agrees with the other two, though, but I don't know if he was actually even supposed to be on TV for that moment or not since he's injured and just doing pre/post show stuff.) are big enough that they can afford to say "Nope." Unfortunately, others absolutely could be threatened into it, because their positions aren't as safe. And it's pathetic that you can assume that's even a thing that could/would happen.

Thats why Rhea is our mami.

Rhea's a very welcome surprise. Not because she seems like she wouldn't be somebody based like that, but because she's generally less vocal about things in general. Becky and Woods/Kofi have spoken out against Hogan very openly, whereas Rhea hasn't. Granted, it might be because it just hasn't really come up, with her. Either way, very nice to see her take a stand, now.
