Aldis notes that there’s a big difference between having personal drinking problems and some of the things that Moolah has been accused of. Regardless, Aldis agrees with Russo and Gilbertti in the sense that the World social/political landscape has changed dramatically over the last decade or so. Gilbertti adds that with WWE’s anti-bullying efforts, the rumours surrounding Moolah is something they needed to distance themselves from.
Aldis talks about the ongoing rise of sexual harassment allegations. He points out that he’s been assaulted by women multiple times over the last several years, mentioning the women would often grab him when he was working as a Gladiator. There really is a double standard when it comes to these things and Gilbertti agrees, pointing out that a woman can grab his ass and it’s no big deal but if he were to grab her, there’d be an uproar and he’d be ridiculed online.
Lane mentions that even though Rich Swann wasn’t proven guilty of any domestic abuse charges from months ago, he’s recently cancelled his last few indie bookings prior to retiring because he’s received such abuse from fans. Russo says he wishes he could talk to Swann because this will probably follow Swann around for the rest of his life, and that’s really too bad.
