Lawler seems like an obvious one. Dude was dating a girl 40 years his junior.

It's creepy and somewhat of a red flag, yes. Dude is a horn dog. He had a whole chapter of his book devoted to talking about which women in the WWE he wanted to sleep with. And that was when he had a prominent role on television.
Doesn't mean he did it, but there's more than enough out there about Lawler to be suspicious that he's done some shady shit. |

If they're not old enough to make informed decisions, then yes it is. Even if they are of age, people are getting fed up of men swooping in and taking advantage of women who haven't matured fully and think it's cool to date a celebrity or rich guy or whatnot. Doesn't mean it's illegal, but the social zeitgeist would definitely consider it "smoke."

People think it's gross when you hang around the school playground trying to find mental, emotional and sexual stimulation, and the excuse "I checked this one's ID, officer" is wearing thin with people.

Look at Hugh Hefner. There were more than a few people uncomfortable with the fact that the dude routinely had a harem of women young enough to be his grandchildren living with him. Nothing illegal about it and some people might think it's "living the dream" or whatever.......but it's not a surprise people were skeeved out by it. |

More and more power dynamics are coming under scrutiny too. Louis CK went down for stuff that was verbally "consensual" because it's widely considered creepy he would even ask and believe the answer. Best to fuck grown up women who ask to see your penis that you aren't kind of the boss of.

Long as they are in HS and not elementary/middle people shouldn't give a fuck.

To a certain point. Adults are still growing up way into their 20's. In the eyes of the law they are adults too. But the court of public opinion is just getting weary of power dynamics where "control" can be exerted because of someone's time and experience on this planet. And companies and organizations are starting to respond to this court of public opinion.
I mean, I definitely think there is something wrong with someone who dates someone as annoying as a teenager or someone in their early 20's, but it's not even about the morality of it or whether it is right or wrong. You can make a case that it's happening without being on the side of it. |

Like, have you spoken to an 18 year old recently? It's a fucking boner killer.

Elgin's been apparently doing loads of creepy shit. Text message screenshots came out about him being controlling and harassing people, all the while bragging about him and Omega being the gajins people go to for advice in NJPW (I bet only one half of that is true and it ain't the Elgin part) and thst his tag partner Cobb smells bad, which he disputes!

Not defending Elgin if those stories are true, but he was a big deal in Japan. He's cooled off so much though. But yeah, what a piece of shit if that's true.

I mis read it. Elgin didn't do that, one of his trainees and employees sexually assaulted someone, then Elgin was getting her to cover it up for 8 months and had her scared by the way he was doing it.
Since then, Sean Malone (the assaulter) has been fired after it went public and Elgin sold his wrestling promotion Glory Pro. He's also been dropped from 3 bookings. |

Only three bookings? Was that all he had?

Honestly don't know, I wouldn't be shocked that some promotions don't give a shit. Kind of hope New Japan do something, but I doubt it for some reason.
Jeff Cobb has a new t-shirt out of it all at least. https://www.instagram.com/p/BcYgNl7lKt0/ |

Come on, guys. This is a sexual harassment thread. No need for it to be dark.
