Talk:War Machine (mixed martial artist)

message: Why on earth is the main image a photo of the back of his head? How retarded can you get? Take that garbage down and put up a proper photo. Google images is your friend.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.110.172.128 (talk) 13:56, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Can someone please take down the top entry of his mixed martial arts record. It is obviously referring to his assault on Christy Mack. It is inappropriate and offensive.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.214.153.28 (talk) 01:49, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mixed martial arts record 

message: Since he has in fact legally changed his name in 2008 to "War Machine", I have replaced references to "Koppenhaver" with either "War Machine" or simply "Machine". It's not like it's a stage name or anything, it is his legal name. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 07:06, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I read that and it seemed rather odd.  Is his first name "War" and his last name "Machine"?  Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 00:00, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  List of War Machine's Adult Films 

message: I think it's a biased stretch to say that War Machine "encouraged the men's rights movement" in his suicide note.  There is only one line that has anything to do with that - he says, "Society has killed men."  There's nothing about the men's rights movement or any sort of political statement in that.  It seems like a disingenuous attempt to discredit the movement, and out of everything that War Machine says in the note, it's very bizarre to highlight that rather than the bulk of the letter, which is rehashing his relationship with Christy Mack.
Could someone please correct this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.82.213.255 (talk) 00:51, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you guys protest too much. His note was in fact and extended rant along "men's rights" lines. You may object to being associated with him, and feel he misrepresents what you stand for, but trust me, Nietzsche scholars feel the same way about this note. To object that the liberal media have overexposed this aspect is just another example of that odd inability to take anything on the chin that so characterises the far-right incels. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:3D24:CA53:C3B9:72A9 (talk) 07:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Men's rights movement? 

message: He is most well known for his brutal and remorseless assault on his ex girl friend. He is otherwise relatively non-notable on the merits of his former MMA career alone. His disambiguation should be edited to reflect this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.188.243 (talk) 02:26, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Make his disambaguation page reference his assualt on Christy Mack 

message: The article was briefly amended to say he'd been convicted, but it doesn't have a reference for that, and doesn't properly discuss the disposition of the variety of charges laid against him. A FoxNews/AP ref is here. I'd update the article myself, but it's protected. The salient points are:
* convicted on 29 counts
* acquitted on 3
* hung jury on 2 (the two attempted murder charges)
* he was offered two plea bargains (details in the ref; personally I don't think the details of them are encyclopedic now) and turned both down
* he intends to appeal convictions
* DA may opt to retry the 2 hung charges
* sentencing set for June 5th.

thread_title:  Ref for conviction 

message: At the time of War Machine's assault on Christy Mack, was Mack his then-girlfriend?  Or was she an ex-girlfriend (back then)?  I thought that she was his girlfriend, but the article states (in the lead) "ex-girlfriend".  Does anyone know for sure?  Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:55, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Ex. The case was widely reported and documented at the time. He was still in possession of the house keys, a token of trust and "can we still be friends" which women habitually bestow on exes when the relationship has been serious and they want no bitterness to linger... and which the men invariably interpret as "she still wants me" - so anyway, he came to the place thinking he might patch things up romantically, which may explain why he lost it when he found her with another man. But the relationship had ended. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:3D24:CA53:C3B9:72A9 (talk) 07:50, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Christy Mack 

message: The photo in the article is of the back and side of his head.  It's basically worthless.  Should it be replaced with a mugshot, such as the following:  Bueller 007 (talk) 02:14, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Worthless photo 

message: I feel like "War Machine (Mixed martial artist)" is not an accurate descriptor. Change the title to "Jon Koppenhaver (convicted rapist)".
That's the important thing about him, not his MMA career.
