People from the comment section now saying Steve is actually this guy:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0972168/Which would make sense as Chael probably isnt friends with the old wrinkly microsoft billionaire and this guy is a casting agent who is listed on some of the same movies as Jon Trosky. Oddly enough though he isnt listed on The Wrestler on imdb. Perhaps an omission, as no steve/steven/stephen is listed.
Another guy in the comments said that if this happened it was definitely pre-meditated by Steve and the other two were likely complicit in advance as well. Jared feigned ignorance and regret, Tommy didnt seem to bother. I tend to agree with this, Steve supposedly rushed over and instantly uncovered the hole because of "spidy sense" - ya right. An obvious rationalization.
As for the possibility Chael is making this up, yes Chael is really untrustworthy because he says ridiculous things to hype fights/get attention, but its kinda weird that 3 of the people in the story are pretty easy to deduce their identity, yet for the fourth its not. Is Chael willing to have these guys sent hundreds of messages from internet sleuths just so he can make an extra 50 $ from ad revenue on his youtube channel? Seems unlikely. Honestly the two steve candidates are probably flooded with death threats already.
Edit: I watched the credits after The Wrestler, the only Steve was Steve Boyle, post production accountant. Doesnt seem to fit.
Not sure what to make of this but I know its going to be hard to sleep tonight. Fuck.
