She's a loon.

I've very proud of the wrestling fans for fucking up her AMA/lame kickstarter pitch.

I'm ALWAYS here for a good disaster, and there ain't no stopping this train wreck.

Honestly, her best option here is to just pretend this never happened, but I REALLY hope she tries to engage - there is no way it doesn't get funnier if she tries.

Good, fuck anyone who denies the Sandy Hook shooting. Imagine your baby getting murdered just going to school and then assholes deny it ever happened or that your child even existed! Sadly 20 sets of parents don't have to imagine because they've been living it for 12 years because of people like this. I'm glad she's not getting away with it

Ronda Rousey was a total POS when she was a fighter !! Refusing to shake hands, touch gloves, even after the fight and losing Miesha Tate took the high route and Ronda left her hanging. Just such a poor attitude

I get her judo was very good for a window but women’s fighting passed her up quick and I will NEVER forget Holly Holm completely dominating her and Holly holm was such a class act and went to go check on her and give her a hug.

Then the crazy beat down from Amanda Nunes which retired her which was one of the most dominant fights I’ve ever seen. Ronda had a short window in women’s MMA and thought she was unbeatable but the sport passed her so quick. Then she switches to WWE and apparently is a pain to work with. Not surprised

So, I'm the one who worked with Ronda's PR on this one. We laid everything out on the table saying she was going to get flooded with questions about Sandy Hook and trans rights because it gets brought up every single time Ronda's name is brought up on our subreddit, no matter what the subject. I told them we wouldn't remove anything that was asked in a civil manner, either. They were good with that and wanted to move forward.

Pretty much went about exactly as I expected.

the moment I heard she was getting an AMA I knew this was going to happen.

I see a few questions regarding her transphobia too

Big overlap between people who get concussions for a living and Jonesian conspiracy theories.

Oh boy, this really takes me back to 2015 when people were talking seriously about Ronda Rousey beating Floyd Mayweather. How the mighty have fallen.

I lived in Sandy Hook at the time, it’s so frustrating to hear about people who deny it happened. Who would even benefit from putting money into faking something like this, it just makes no sense.

I’ve worked in Sandy Hook for the past 20 years and we had a guy from Russia who left the company about 15 years ago, he came back to visit about a year after the shooting and started talking about how it was a hoax. Our boss had to ask him to leave, some of our employees had children in the school at the time

When you assume wrestling fans are all on your side when it's literally the opposite

Doing this on /r/squaredcircle was certainly a choice. I don't think most people would even associate her with wrestling, and the fans there already don't like her.

Hard to understand why they would think an AMA on a wrestling subreddit would be a good move. Not only she has been shitting on the business and many people around it, her old comments on Sandy Hook were going to be a focal point, and people (like myself) who had no idea about it, now know them.

Could not even start and it's already locked.

Sadly there are always a few questions that don’t make them look bad that they’ll answer. Not everyone plays ball…

I knew that Ronda wasn’t good at acting and MMA; I didn’t know that she’s awful at being a person, too. I love the goddamn Streisand Effect

JFC, how hard is it to say “I made a mistake. I spoke on something I did not know anything about and without consideration for those who would be affected.”

Long before Alex Jones had said anything about Sandy Hook Ronda Rousey shared a video on Twitter about sandy hook being a hoax. I remember it clearly because the girl I was dating at the time showed me and she was a complete bitch but loved Ronda Rousey.
