Some say Joseph was a hard man. He was, the truth runs deeper though.
Joseph Jackson beat his children with belts and switches when they missed notes or steps. Michael took the worst of it. The rehearsals never ended. No playing outside. No friends. Just work.
Joseph mocked Michael's nose, called him ugly. The scars lasted longer than bruises, Michael later cut up his face with surgeries.
The man never said "I love you" to his son. Not once, he was a manager first, a father never. Michael trembled at his father's presence, even as a grown man with millions. Fear ran deep in them bones.
Writing about a case from 40 years ago on THE SAME WEEK that the film he is an exec on about his brother and starring his son is opening to gigantic success? WE SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
Absolutely shameless, disgraceful behaviour.
I think there's an entire generation who don't realize how important TNA was to wrestling at one point. a guy like AJ Styles was always undeniable but the X-Division in the 2000s is the blueprint for a lot of modern wrestling today
