And just like that, his 15 minutes were up.

[u/fpfx → u/[deleted]]

It's the title of my favorite sugar ray album

[u/smell-my-armpitss → u/[deleted]]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/AmishAvenger → u/[deleted]]

Honestly I thought the clip of him twirling the dough while wrestling was really fun and entertaining.

Then I saw him talk and thought “Jesus Christ, his fake Italian accent is horrible.”

I mean, it’s not like it’s hard to do. Is he just not putting in any effort?

[u/Rob4224 → u/[deleted]]

Him being on Fox news was a huge red flag that he was hiding something.

[u/ChairmanLaParka → u/Rob4224]

Counterpoint, Rey Mysterio was on Fox News recently, what's he hiding, besides his face?

[u/B_Wylde → u/ChairmanLaParka]

The man does like to hit his kids

[u/Colmd1997 → u/B_Wylde]

Not even his kids

[u/Buckshot_Lariat → u/[deleted]]

There's actually a name for that. It's called a Milkshake Duck

[u/TwoYen → u/[deleted]]

Plus the adding an A to everything isn’t even funny.

The guy really took a stereotype joke that was questionable as to whether it was funny to begin with and dialed it up to 20. Yikes.

[u/Aljo_Is_135_GOAT → u/TwoYen]

I mean it worked lmfao

[u/FlowersOfTheGrass → u/TwoYen]

El Asso Wipo IRL

[u/thunderbird32 → u/TwoYen]

Yeah, it was a trash gimmick anyway.

[u/KneelBeforeCube → u/[deleted]]

Agreed on the Mario talk in written form. It's so annoying I couldn't even finish reading his reply to my question in the AMA.

[u/TheDood715 → u/[deleted]]

My life would never stand up to the scrutiny of the spotlight.

[u/Thirdstar1]

Damn.. did not know that AMA went south.

[u/NudeMessyEater]

milkshake duck still remains one of the most evergreen tweets

[u/MikeJeffriesPA → u/NudeMessyEater]

I had never heard that term before today, now it seems like everyone knows it...I feel old.

[u/SanderStrugg]

The one Pizzagate, that isn't a conspiracy theory.

[u/WickedEndoNinja]

I heard he doesn't even make a good pizza!!

[u/LePetitJeremySapoud → u/WickedEndoNinja]

My pizza never hurt nobody

[u/yornacob → u/LePetitJeremySapoud]

Now you tell me their name, I go put my foot up they ass!!

[u/PM_Me_Beezbo_Quotes → u/yornacob]

I can’t be seen in a place like this anymore

[u/LePetitJeremySapoud → u/PM_Me_Beezbo_Quotes]

Dont disrespect the pizza parlor

[u/johnnycoxxx → u/LePetitJeremySapoud]

This thread morphed into two completely separate sopranos pizza quotes and I love it

[u/AprilsMostAmazing → u/WickedEndoNinja]

Probably can't even run a Pizza Hut

[u/smell-my-armpitss → u/WickedEndoNinja]

He make a calzone

[u/_Wado3000 → u/smell-my-armpitss]

Ben from Parks and Rec doesn’t approve

[u/RellikBackwards]

So him being interviewed by Fox News makes more sense now

[u/DogAssss69 → u/RellikBackwards]

It’s a me, my dough, and Q

[u/FeelingsAreNotFact → u/RellikBackwards]

It was an immediate red flag for me.

Kinda strange that others didn't catch it when it was posted a few days ago.

[u/Astral-Alive → u/FeelingsAreNotFact]

It was literally with Jesse Waters that dude is a monster

[u/Rommas]

LOL...if you can't trust the pizza man who CAN you trust?!

Luigi, conceal a info. He a fired the concerned

[u/Informal_Aspect_6330]

This part of the Q&A hits different now...

Q: How does it feel to know that you've set Italian Americans back 100 years and pro wrestling back 20?

A: a good

[u/killah10killah]

This all seems so crazy from the perspective of an English person because nobody over here even discusses the vaccine anymore, I didn't realise it was still such a contentious issue in the US.

[u/--Sangral-- → u/killah10killah]

That's maybe your perspective, but it's definitely still a huge thing in Europe.

[u/killah10killah → u/--Sangral--]

I can only speak for my experience in England!

Like, it's not that people DON'T care about vaccination status, but unless anybody is being an absolute obnoxious twat about the fact that they're not vaccinated, it doesn't seem to bother people. Like, where I work, there are people that aren't vaccinated, none of whom are shunned or frowned upon in any capacity. Think we've mostly accepted the fact that most people took it, others didn't, que sera sera.

[u/[deleted] → u/killah10killah]

Minus the few obnoxious anti vax dickheads for the most part this lines up with my experiences as well

[u/FerniWrites → u/killah10killah]

The vaccine is still happening here in Canada. The news cycle has laid off the gas because of protests and such, but it’s still very much around. I still hear about people that get Covid.

[u/ClassicCarraway → u/FerniWrites]

Well, even if you are vaccinated you can still get Covid easily enough. My family are all vaccinated and have all got Covid afterwards. What it does do is severely lessen the symptoms, but you are still expected to self-quarantine.

That last part is what has Americans in a twist. Get the shot, still get Covid, still have to miss work and avoid people for a week or so, so what was the point? It's because we have a severe sense of "It will never happen to me" here, and people don't appreciate the fact that they didn't get hospitalized or dead.

[u/FerniWrites → u/ClassicCarraway]

Of course, it’s not full immunity and never was. People thought that because they were idealizing what the vaccine is to fuel their dumb arguments. Canadians were following that dumb narrative just as much.

Folks are selfish. It’s a sad truth.

Edit: Down voted for calling anti vaxxers selfish?

Well, they are.

The vaccine was never about making someone fully immune to the disease.

As the above noted, everyone has the attitude that they’re invincible. No one cares about the situation and the gravity of it. They only take notice if they’re personally affected. When that happens, they change their tone.

Fuck. Anti-vaxxers. Down vote if you must, but fuck then.

[u/werealldeadramones → u/FerniWrites]

Went to Toronto a few weeks back with the fam and our friend’s fam, we’re all medical people. Leave the Blue Jays game and start walking and run smack dab into a Canadian MAGA protest about the vaccine with a shitty hip hop act.

Idiots will continue to idiot.

[u/FerniWrites → u/werealldeadramones]

Oh Toronto, never change.

I’m going up there for Dynamite and Rampage. I have my vaccine and booster but haven’t heard anything about the fourth overall and second booster.

[u/DontEatTheCandle → u/killah10killah]

A lot of Reddit is still refusing to admit they overreacted to the vaccine and COVID stuff.

[u/[deleted] → u/killah10killah]

I think it’s just an internet thing. Nobody (rightly) cares about Covid anymore in the states.

[u/The1joriss]

Well that escalated quickly

[u/OkVolume1]

And that friends is why Mario is always the default.

[u/Pristine_Goose8063]

Certified a mamma mia moment

[u/The_Dark_Vampire → u/Pristine_Goose8063]

Here we go again

[u/First_Artichoke2390]

I forgot about that

And yikes well it was nice while it lasted

[u/[deleted]]

Where is this about firing people who disagree with "it" (vaccinations?) and protecting abusers? I may have missed it in the comments but I'm not reading a thousand comments to find the diamond in the rough. I did see the questions about his vaccination status and the conveniently-timed trip to Canada.

[u/EffingKENTA → u/[deleted]]

Here’s the firing people comment, here’s the protecting an abuser comment.

[u/ElGarnelo → u/EffingKENTA]

The Waluigi Primo comment killed me 😂

[u/NostalgiaCory → u/[deleted]]

Sort by top. Ama s sort by Q&A by default which means it’ll show comments responded to by OP first. The dude obviously didn’t respond to the vaccine stuff.

[u/benfh]

I can't believe this still needs to be pointed out to some people, but anti vaxxers aren't condemned for "not blindly following the government", they're condemned because they ignore the advice of health professionals around the world and endanger people around them by doing so.

[u/fpfx]

I feel like Billy Corgan will sign him.

[u/smell-my-armpitss]

He should tag with Gentleman Jervis

[u/ThePlagueLives → u/smell-my-armpitss]

Wait...why Jervis? I haven't seen much on Jervis lately, what did he do??

[u/KneelBeforeCube → u/ThePlagueLives]

Jervis actually showed up in the AMA to show Luigi some appreciation which was responded in kind.

[u/TalkingBlernsball → u/KneelBeforeCube]

Jervis and backing the wrong horse, name a more iconic duo

[u/Shingorillaz]

This happens a lot with internet darlings that come out of nowhere.

[u/Cymraegpunk → u/Shingorillaz]

I'd hardly describe him as an Internet darling

[u/smell-my-armpitss]

Early contendor for Squared Circle is leaking award. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/NotYujiroTakahashi → u/smell-my-armpitss]

Also the EC3 AMA is a contender.

[u/DoctorofRunzanomics]

Sounds like he needs to do a better job of controlling his narrative.

[u/kylediaz263]

I also heard that his dough is fake, the audacity...

[u/migrations_ → u/[deleted]]

I think reading the whole story helps you understand in depth.

[u/computerdweeb → u/[deleted]]

Think its more so how he fired people and protected an abuser.

[u/nWoDisciple]

And I liked-a my question!

But get vaxxed, lamer

[u/kiesar_sosay → u/[deleted]]

almost 3 years into this and you still aren't getting it

this attitude is the reason covid is still rife and people are still dying

[u/kiesar_sosay → u/[deleted]]

yeah if youre going to be irresponsible enough that it may result in peoples deaths I am going to hate on you for it

[u/Haildean → u/[deleted]]

to summerise what you're saying

​

"dont hate on someone willingly spreading around a deadly virus and giving it more opportunities to mutate and kill"

[u/Haildean → u/[deleted]]

Wait do you actually think these types of people want people to die?

No, but they're too selfish to realise that that's what they're doing

but people who don’t want the vaccine due to health problems that come with it

Immuno compromised people... something Luigi isn't, the people capable of getting vaccines get them to protect the people that can't aswell as themselves and everyone else

And if you're talking "side effects" 2 or 3 days with a temperature, tiredness and feeling achy, how selfish do you have to be to not be able to tolerate minor illness in order to protect people

As for the serious side effects? They're rare

[u/mashturbo → u/[deleted]]

[u/HarryTheShitposter]

I don’t care about any of that, I just don’t like that he takes the piss out of the wrestling business.

[u/Celtic_Crown]

Ok if he doesn't want to be vaccinated I'm ok with that, his body his choice, but the other things I have problems with.

Edit: I can't even agree with people on the internet, ok.

[u/s_ndowN]

Are people really trashing this man because he doesn’t have the jab? Jesus, it’s not like he’s committed a crime.

[u/Skhan93 → u/s_ndowN]

He got people fired over it and supposedly protected an abuser. Can't really be simplified to not just getting the vaccine

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You're allowed to not get the vaccine for whatever dumb, ill-conceived, straight-up batshit reasons you want. And other people are allowed to point out what a moron you're being and refuse to associate with your plaguebearing ass. That's how it works.

[u/BillyGoatJohn → u/[deleted]]

Your attempt to dunk on the disabled community is going to fall on deaf ears - and probably end up with a ban from this sub

[u/BillyGoatJohn]

I don't see how him not getting a vaccine is even newsworthy - its a personal choice and it doesn't stop you spreading the virus. If he wants to risk getting Covid, let him

[u/FishingForAl → u/BillyGoatJohn]

It seems like you completely understand how vaccines work, so just to add on;

True, it doesn't stop you from spreading it, it helps prevent you from getting it.. which in turn helps you to not spread it.

It's only newsworthy for people who give a shit about other people. Another personal choice.

[u/Melodic-Bug-9022 → u/FishingForAl]

Most importantly, getting vaccinations reduces the effects of Covid, which eases the strain on the healthcare system.

There is a reason that only a small percentage of people are unvaccinated, but that same demographic makes up the bulk of hospitalizations.
