if you were wondering how he only served 13 months in prison after raping multiple minors, it's because he served zero jail time for raping multiple minors. the only jail time he served was for financial crimes covering up sexually abusing children. he kept his congressional pension up to now

republicans can deploy consequences on leadership for the sexual abuse of children but you have to be a liability and mess with the bag and the abused children have to be male for it to count. also the consequences are living to 84 without real problems

Probably burned my remaining bridges in the business, but I recently put out a statement regarding the increasing use of “generative AI” in British indie wrestling.
I’ve seen more and more promotions and wrestlers using generative AI, some of whom I work with, and I want to make something VERY clear: 

I do not give anybody permission to use my likeness in any AI-generated posters, promos, clips, etcetera, and I consider any such use to be a personal and professional violation. 

Do not feed me to a tech company’s algorithm. They’ve stolen enough of my writing and video material for their “AI training” already. That’s how Alleged Intelligence works, by the way - it’s a plagiarism tool, regurgitating every shred of “content” fed to it. 

Leaving aside the horrific impact AI data centers have on the environment, you’re not creating anything by typing prompts into a box. Why should anyone be impressed with some cool photoshoot, promo, or move when you didn’t really do it? At best, Alleged Intelligence is self-insert reality fanfic and it makes wrestling truly live up to its reputation as fake. 

I won’t try to sway you away from it, but I hope you reconsider and really look into AI. Whatever you do, leave me out of it. 

Commander Sterling.
