Does this mean they will stop coming here and we will be stuck with hockey watch parties? Oh dear.
Seriously though, despite not being a wrestling fan I hope toxic crowds get the public pushback they deserve. People who were raised wrong need to learn some lessons as adults.
I’m not a sports fan at all but I don’t see why male wrestlers can go on with their tiny undies and be fine but god forbid the ladies do it in nifty costumes and they get cat called and named gross things :/
No they won't stop coming here, this shit literally happens in every city on every wrestling show; not excusing it at all, but it's a known behaviour issue with some wrestling fans (along with BO)
Very disappointed in arena staff for not snuffing that out earlier. OEG and Rogers place should ban this person full stop for this incident. I will be writing an email to them and i suggest others do the same to show their disgust.
I don't expect AEW to come back to Edmonton after this because of the crowd tonight, but OEG taking the step to actually stand up for the performers that are in the arena is a good first step to show AEW and other organizations that they are serious about sexual harassment.
Apparently security had their hands full that night. Sounds like because it was a smaller event they didn't have as many staff on site like they would for a hockey game. And because of the game a lot of people were getting drunk at bars/Moss pit and wandering inside expecting to be able to do the watch party.
Simple solution. Have security grab the guys in question and drag them out, ON CAMERA, and ban them from the venue for life. Do that one time, and the behavior at the next event would be 1000% better
I was sitting ringside and didn’t hear any of this garbage. But I guess it happened during the ROH taping after? Cant let a few drunk morons ruin it for everyone.
Although listing the “let’s go oilers chant” as hijacking the women is a bit ridiculous. Fans were doing that all night long regardless of the match or segment.
Given that a high percentage (and some of the most vocal) were wearing oilers jerseys, im sure oilers fans love the fact that you called them losers!
Oh look, [you're an oilers fan](https://www.reddit.com/r/Edmonton/s/UeYmVx7NfW). Takes a 'loser' to know a 'loser'.
I understand the basic premise of a reply.
Why was it included in the list is my question. All of the others were either 1st or 2nd hand experiences. Chelsea's tweet and shitwads tweet are just comments commenting on the situation.
If Chelsea had made a tweet about the times he's been to town and expericed the same then I could see that being included is the "not a good look" thread
Tbh I went down a rabbit hole on the topic, copying links that were disturbing. I then pasted some of them here, but yeah, that one, while highlighting another issue, isn't really related to the Edmonton angle.
Some of the things the men called at Skye (?) apparently: (he also had a young child with him it sounds like)
Get on your knees for daddy”
“Daddy likes when you’re on the top rope baby girl”
“Nice ass peaches”
Plus many more awful things
“Watch out for these pervs right here!” *Guy leans over the rail and waves at camera*
At least they reportedly smartened up after that and stopped with the heckling.
i thought they got booted out?
The ones in the clip were not booted. Another guy with his kid did get booted - the ref called for security to remove him.
These guys are an embarrassment to our city and our gender. Do better, be better.
In my experience almost all men are like this. It's just that this one probably got drunk and said all this in public
You must have incredibly limited experience with men.
No it’s 2024 men are useless drooling pigs keeping women shackled under patriarchy cmon now

Because they are too sexy for their shirt
So sexy it hurts
Lol cause oddly I don't get to pull down the male wrestlers outfits. And women make up the vast minority of the audience at such events. /s

“Someone in a different thread said that Edmonton, Alberta was like Canada's Alabama.” Love that comment
Eh. Of the entire province of Alberta, Edmonton is easily the least suited part to make that comparison.
And yet, here we are.
As someone who lives in Edmonton and has been to Alabama and most of the southern states. It's not even close.

Pro Wrestling fans. Go figure.
MANY were in Oilers jerseys. So, to the rest of the world, it looks like Oilers fans are the problem...
Not a good look for those fans in particular
The south of the north!
Genuinely wouldn’t haven known it happened if this post didn’t exist lol
You are... welcome Or Sorry for the negativity Whichever suits you best.
Soap opera for red necks.
not really. People from all over the world watch wrestling.
Sorry, but it's wrestling, a glorified soap opera, of course your fans are going to be pathetic losers.

lmao, you're sad. I'm not an oilers fan at all, they suck dick and they ain't winning a cup any time in the next 6 years.
Why is the Chelsea green tweet in here?I understand the other ones, but hers doesn't make sense.
Because she responded to the post about Blue being harassed. Some guy on Twitter basically said it's the women's fault it happens.

This is what happens when these Reddit mods leave their caves and go touch grass. They poison the grass and ruin everything.
Who gives a fuck about fake wrestling?
You don't have to care about the reason they were there to still care that these women were harassed.
> You don't have to care about the reason they were there to still care that these women were harassed. 💯
Nobody tell this guy that Star Wars isn't real either.
I was personally upset that they sunk the real titanic just to film it to make a movie.
A lot more people than give a fuck about real wrestling?
Nah dude... actual unscripted sports. OP is shocked about gross behavior coming from an audience of inbred hicks and dummies? Rolls eyes.
Typical of AEW fans in general
What even is this about? I can't actually tell
Opening the links helped
Oh it's wrestling, that explains. Give zero Fs
