Yeah, I find that clause extremely fucking weird, unless it's in other Impact contracts. Unless they're used to hiring people who might have shitty pasts like Sami Callihan and Tessa and said "If we put this here, at least we don't need to fire them for things they did." I don't know. I don't know why you would draft someone's contract like that. I don't know what it says exactly.

It's honestly such a strange video and I've seen people already saying stuff like "He mentions Hana Kimura and equates it to her!" when he said his accuser made some extremely shitty comments telling him that he needs to die and to kill him as evidence that she's a vile person (which is on top of him completely debunking her story), but he never actually mentions Hana at all but just that there was an anti-suicide movement in the community.

There's also people who refuse to even listen and think he's completely full of shit without listening and that everything he's offering with some people being cool and super friendly with him up to just a month before this and messaging him out of the blue to check on him but then coming out with their own stories adds to his defenses too. I went into this thinking he's probably full of it and expecting terrible excuses, but there's a lot of valid reasons to buy a lot of his defenses in it that people are just discounting.

I don't know that he's innocent of everything. I don't know that anyone will know for sure. But there's people who clearly made shit up, and that's fucking wrong and hurts the validity of those who may have suffered actual assault or harassment. Like I don't know why Vanessa Kraven even butted in at all when her claims, as far as I can tell, are that he flirted with her, they kissed once and he put moved on her that she refused and he backed off, and that he filmed her body in an objectifying way on their talk show (which he explains that he didn't intend to, but he was trying to hold the camera in a different way because they didn't have a working tripod or something and he couldn't see where he was filming enough).

He also cited Candace LeRae for some of these, like an incident where a 16 year old was at a bar and they were shocked and weirded out she was allowed there, and so they both invited her to hang out after to not make her feel uncomfortable. Like, I'm willing to buy his word at something like that.

I think he did this in an attempt to save his career, but I think people are already like "20 accusers fuck this guy" and don't want to even give him an attempt to defend himself, which I think is unfair. Even if it's bullshit, at least let someone attempt to defend himself. I don't think he ever goes back to wrestling, even if he's completely innocent of all of this. I don't know that we'll get any lawsuits from this or not though.
