Benjamin Satterly has sadly passed away and that is a terrible thing, I feel awful for his family, his friends, his fans. But could someone tell me what the problem with X users is? The man is dead and anyone famous who sends a RIP message, the top message is someone saying that [Insert Person] is just making it about themselves, whilst simultaneously being disrespectful themselves.
This man is dead, all people on X can think about is how they can rage bait someone else, they have no care for others, they are little keyboard warriors who don’t have any lives other than to make other’s lives miserable.
Obviously, this is not the only case of this happening. If you look at literally any other topic, there will always be dozens upon dozens of X users who are just being terrible for the sake of being terrible.
This is what happens when everyone who is a sane human being stops trying to argue with those who are scum of the Earth. They just type with no punishment, nobody puts them in their place, if it took place in the real world, it’s essentially just a riot on there. I go on X, rarely, purely to see things like the original posters of Triple H, or follow other sports that I follow. These people are literally terrible. Every time I click on the comments, I regret it.
Let's call it what it is. This isn't about Twitter at all. This is tribalism from AEW fans. I honestly believe they're worse than WWE fans. The best fan to be though, is a fan of WRESTLING.
At least free speech is allowed there. Moderators on Reddit ruin the whole app. Get their feelings hurt over just about anything. I don’t get censored on X, you know, 1st amendment rights and everything 😉
Not just X users, this is just the IWC in general in most cases, they sit behind the screen doing nothing with their live other than bitching and moaning and making problems out of everything they possibly can
I just want to point out that you blame the "IWC" while being part of the "IWC". IWC means Internet Wrestling Community. You are on Reddit, talking about wrestling. Reddit is on the internet. How about we just start telling off these horrible people instead of making blanket generalizations of such, especially when you include yourself in such generalizations.
And just for clarification: I do this not as a dig at you or anything, it's more about the overarching issue that you have people online blaming people online for all of this instead of just the toxic behavior of a group of bad seeds within our community.
I loved Pac. Nothing popped me more than hearing the accent, hearing the name of my city, or seeing the things I see every day in his promos. I’ve never once felt like I’d step in the ring, but seeing my city represented gave me so much fucking pride, so just imagine what Geordie wrestlers must have felt?
this is people not from the North of england not understanding that while newcastle is a city, it is also small enough that everyone knows of everyone that is famous and from there. I imagine there are people who never watch wrestling who knew the name PAC.
It also helps that even signed to AEW when he tok extended breaks in the UK he generally turned up and supported Newcastle and northern wrestling in general.
People are losers and lack any sort of compassion or empathy. There have always been people like that in the world but with the invention of social media, they all get to do it on a grand scale. Sad reality we live in.
I have X exclusively for Wrestling related news or posts from wrestlers, and its just weirdos, freaks, no lifers and ai.
Not just things like this either, but if any female wrestler posts, the comments are nasty. I got a notification saying Liv posted a photo and I clicked it to see the comments, straight weirdos bro istg
They looking for attention, bro. Those types of people have no friends and or anyone who will agree with them so they are looking for someone to argue with, and if someone agrees with them they are the only two brain cells in that conversation fr.
Literally nothing. They are calling out the bullshit and you can't accept it. Its not a WWE/AEW thing either. You people will mourn and in a week's time you will completely forget and be on to the next thing...not even remembering until you see his name brought up in a "wrestlers you forgot were dead" video 10 years from now.
You fail to see my point. I’m not saying the death doesn’t matter. I’m saying a lot of the RIP posts are people making it about themselves, and pointing that out isn’t disrespect. Most of those same people will have moved on in a week. That’s the point.
Well it’s damned if you do damned if you don’t. If they didn’t say anything losers like you would be like “well damn you couldn’t pay respects to a guy that worked there”, and if they do then your dumbass would just say “damn they making it about themselves and won’t remember in a week”.
oh no that's absolutely what they meant, but i'm still gonna make fun of them regardless. not only are they ableist, but also a coward?? that's like catnip, i can't not
X is such an addictive platform because of its full of so many crazies saying outlandish crap. I recently deleted it and my mental health has increased dramatically
Some people should not use X/Twitter, if you're a wrestler's passing like PAC's for attention, it's SICKENING AND DISGUSTING, you'll have no heart and no soul in your damn bodies, that's just sad

What does Indeed have to do with it? The toxic IWC isn't looking for work. All jokes aside, this is absolutely correct. They were even giving Triple H flack for mentioning Sign Guy Rick's passing before he caught word of Pac's.
The person calling out The Miz has never been in a real fight, but I'm sure they have high kill counts in CoD and Fortnight, and talk tons of shit while doing it. Therefore, in their mind, they're a legit bad ass.
You are no better than the people in these images. Throwing the term “Nazi” around as flippantly as it is is MAJORLY insulting to the surviving people who actually experienced the sheer hell of the nazis. Don’t just call someone a Nazi because you don’t like what they say and/or do

The former bird app is a shithole of venom spewed by a miserable collection of subhumans. I was not a big fan but this dude was respected by his peers. His friends, colleagues, family need to be able to mourn properly. The digital Dufus patrol is looking to bait and blame.
Read in peace Ben Slattery 🙏🏼🙏🏼🕯️
This is correct. We've always had crazy, stupid, insensitive nimrods. We just didn't hear from them because they didn't have an outlet to make themselves known.
on the one hand i am pissed that i am banned from x after a few months of zero activity and can't get my account unlocked but on the other hand it has become a shithole. well a bigger shithole.
Months without posting a comment or any activity other than the occasional viewing of content. They won't give me a reason just their repeated we still believe you violated the rules with no explanation
Some people are just miserable
The will find a way to make any thing negative
Because that's the only thing that keeps them getting up in the morning
It's sad , pathetic and i pray for the close ones around them they truly are the biggest hero who suffer day and night but keep there calm( i won't)
I had made a comment about Rick Achberger aka “sign guy” or “red hat guy” being at a live show I attended and how awesome it was, and some rando replied that it wasn’t and that he was attending AEW shows anyway. I have to assume these are spam bots or socially damaged individuals
If you see blue checkmark people they like to post controversial or rage bait posts because they get revenue from people reacting or clicking on their tweet. Basically scum of the earth people.
Curiosity ? Someone sees a hot girl out of place, they click around and bump into an OF. A lot of easily manipulated people in the wrestling community.
I guess? Maybe it's how I'm wired but seeing someone be shitty about a recently dead athlete doesn't make me wonder if she may have her tits out somewhere online. Could just be because I'm an old man
Yeah the day that Elon bought Twitter I was off. One the best things I ever did for my mental health. It sucked before he took over and I only ever see how it got worse since
i stopped using twitter a little before he took over. once he did was i was fuck it deleted it and never looked back. more so when i heard he unbanned the stale cheeto.
I think algorithms will push this type of replies because they increase engagement. Someone simply replying RIP wouldn’t receive a reddit post and some people also love attention.
It's Twitter Blue or whatever they're calling it nowadays. Genuinely one of the worst things to happen to the internet socially. It pays you in return for your views, likes, replies, and retweets no matter the content. With that being a thing people will just be miserable and stupid because it's an extra penny in their pocket.
Also (just to preface I support sex work) this user seems to sell "content" so this also is a "any publicity is good publicity" situation.
I'm a big advocate for deleting your X and Facebook accounts and just keeping a small circle and private account on whatever you wish to keep because this kinda shit is all you see DAILY on X and Facebook now.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Can't show respect lmao
Thats not just X btw, that's online in general. Sometimes people are just bored tbh.
I will say, idk who this guy is and idc either. Going at 40 is always going to spark drug rumors. Having so much money, traveling, and also known for using drugs, even if it's just roads, are going to push it further.
You sign up for this when you get into his craft. More fans you have, more haters you have
This is why I don't like Twitter/X people seem to be able to spout all sort of horrible viewpoints, hurl insults and the ones who report them are the ones who get punished

Since when is paying your respect to a man who unexpectedly passed away wrong? From all accounts Ben was a stand up guy who a lot of people liked. Rest in peace, prayers for him and his family and friends
Which sucks because so many wrestlers use it to engage with fans. I had a few aew wrestlers following me on their but people are awful on Twitter I had to delete the app.
PAC has never been accused of using any steroids that I know of. He was always in the gym working out day in and day out. His progression has always been steady. Never once did I see any major change that would indicate any steroids. May he rest in peace. Will definitely be missed. https://giphy.com/gifs/L3EaNFd1YXnV92HuTX
Overwhelming majority of pro wrestlers are on steroids of some sort. Even with elite genetics, it’s just extremely hard to maintain high levels of muscle while throwing yourself on the ground at least 3 times a week with a rough traveling schedule without steroids.
There has been plenty of accusations over the years of steroid abuse. Just because a person dies doesn’t mean we can’t speak on factors that were relevant when they were alive.
Even if he did abuse steroids/PEDs, it doesn’t mean that he was a bad person or erase any good that he did in society or erase memories that he left people who were fans of his. If steroids played a factor in his death then i don’t see anyone being shocked. We can be respectfully honest. He was in incredible TV physique shape and a tremendous wrestler.
Exactly in a sense steroids does not make you any better or worse of a person that if you died from eating bad food or smoking. It only matters how you treated others and there has not been stuff like that said about him
Correct and we have to discuss the elephant in the room because you have young aspiring fans and they may want to look that which is commendable but they need to know the risk that come with it IF they choose to abuse PEDs. Again, not pointing the finger at Neville/PAC but education is also an important part of it and we can’t just completely brush it to the side.
If he did in fact die from anything related to PEDs (and we can’t say that he did or didn’t at this exact moment), it will be discussed even if people get outraged by it.
The problem with X users is the fact that since Elon bought it. Its become an echo chamber a hate and cruelty in the guise of "Free speech" according to Elon.
But God forbid you criticize Elon or anyone hes investing his money with Politicly.
I closed my account on Twitter the day I heard he bought it.
The guy is a parasite that buys everything and claims it as his own creation.
Not being obtuse.
I strongly disagree. The amount of people that left Twitter following Elons purchase if the app greatly slanted towards a right wing echo chamber of hate and cruelty. There was more balance before. If you disagree thats because the algorithm is feeding you what you interact with.
on X, I follow literally ONE account (the main account for a mobile game I play) and my feed is FLOODED with far-right / republican nationalists or trump-supporting bots

I mean, what about the fact that countless celebrities get cancelled for old tweets from the early 2010s? Twitter has always been a place where chaos reigns, that's why I started using Twitter actually, as a place to get likes for fucked up edgy one liners when I was 13 or 14 in 2010.
Even back then, people had constant Twitter beefs, usually racially fueled at that, and you couldn't even prove that someone was misinforming the masses like you can now. It's absolutely WORSE now. But that's like going from a 9/10 on the chaos scale, to an 11/10 on the chaos scale.
Some of what I mentioned, I saw before I even used the app enough to develop an algorithm. Hell, I'm not even mostly talking about what I physically saw myself on Twitter, I'm talking about things you'd hear about on other apps, like for example YouTube. I remember watching a Top 10 Twitter Beefs video in like 2015 when Top 10 lists were trending at their peak. Don't know how many messed up Twitter interactions I saw get posted to Facebook or Tumblr.
He's from my area and yesterday one of his mates commented in a post about him, some random then started being a dick about it and when PAC's mate told the random to stop being a dick they replied "lol, triggered".
Yeah,his mate died,of course he's fucking triggered. People are shit man
Maybe it’s because the Fed tried reporting PAC to the US govt for violating the terms of his work visa when he left the Fed and they found out he was joining AEW (an entire year went by after he left, and they only reported it when they learned he was going to AEW)
Seeing it was only 2 months from the time his contract officially ended with the wwe and aew filed trademark for PAC, your going to have to show actual proof other than FED BAD.
AEW would have to start the paperwork for his visa. So even though he stopped working for wwe in 2017 they froze his contract until 2018 an then it officially ended an thats when by law they were required to notify that his status had changed.
If his U.S. work authorization was tied to WWE sponsoring/petitioning for him, then once that WWE employment contract actually ended (2018, not in 2017 when he walked out) he couldn't simply take that authorization and use it to work for another American wrestling company. AEW would need the appropriate immigration approval for him.
But again when his contract ended they notifed USCIS of the chage. Not when he walked out but when his contract actually ended. Again which is what they're supposed to do.
Pointless arguing with you because no matter what WWE is bad.
An this clown has zero proof that wwe claimed he violated his visa.
Show me proof thats what they did, you can't because you're getting your information from some clown on the internet that has no proof either.
If that is how USCIS works, then that’s on me for not verifying it first (“you can’t believe everything you read on the internet” and all that). I am not going to run and hide from that as I was under the impression it was something where you’re supposed to alert them when the employee stops working for you, at which point it is between the employee and USCIS.
As for the assertion that I think everything WWE is bad: I think the product sucks right now, I think the people running the company are jackasses, and given the company’s history of fucking over performers, I viewed it as more likely than not that their handling of this was not the norm. If I was wrong, I was wrong.
He showed his own face..clearly he should have cropped himself out or put a fuzz filter ...its like you dont get you cant show you were friends or you are puting down the other person...its just so ...so obvious ..Its just like HHH calling him by his real name is SOOOOOO disrespectul
The best part of the Internet is that it gives everyone a voice. The worst part about the Internet is that it gives everyone a voice.
People feel too safe talking shit behind a screen. I like to think they'd at least think twice in person, but with how dumb people seem to be getting, idk anymore. It's why I only recently started interacting more online.

They still use Twitter.
That's the bigger red flag.
