Rousey rippin off the Rowdy Piper look? she needs some serious work on the stick or get Heyman to advocate for her like he does for Lesnar Piper was her idol growing up and who she modeled herself after in MMA (to a degree). She had his permission to use the “Rowdy” name and the jacket she wore at the Rumble was Pipers. I think the fans will turn on her eventually but angle is very much a face and Steph is very much a heel so you never know.
The Unknown Poster Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 Very strong opening segment on raw. And paul heyman is the best in the business.
Brandon Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 14 hours ago, The Unknown Poster said: Good question. I think there is some question as to the validity of Vader’s health. The other thing could be he wasn’t a big wwe star and even though they have WCW stars in, they focus more on WWE. I'd assume if Stan Hansen went in that Vader would also... Vader was big in Japan and WCW and definitely accomplished more then Koko B Ware ever did. The health validity is the first I've heard? On his Hannibal interview he made it seem like he is lucky to be alive? He also did play down his butt kicking from Orndorff in the showers which so many other wrestlers said he was beaten up by a man in flip flops. The Unknown Poster 1

Sometimes its just whomever they're friendly with at that moment, like Jeff Jarrett this year. They have a group of people in WWE who submit suggestions so it also depends who's lobbying for whom. But Vince decides. They sort of make the HOF like a wrestling show...opening act, mid carders, main event. I think Vader was the first Triple Crown Champion in Japan or something (and I think the only person to hold world titles on three continents simultaneously. And HUGE in WCW. Definitely deserves to go in.

In the Enzo situation he admits to being there. Coach isnt directly accused in a lawsuit, just sort of back ground information to paint a picture of the culture at ESPN. It wouldn't have surprised me if Coach wasn't on RAW last night but it doesnt surprise me that he was. Enzo's biggest crime (thus far) was not telling WWE about the investigation. That's what got them angry. The coach stuff is a bit tough because the only remotely specific thing I've heard is "sending inappropriate pictures" and telling people he was dating women he wasnt. He reportedly reached out to the woman in question offering to be her mentor and when she said she had a bf, he never replied. So on one hand, some people are saying 'oh he expressed interest and when told no, he did nothing' - a pretty normal man/woman encounter. But if he used his position to "mentor" women with the purpose of becoming sexually involved, that's going to be a problem. Sending pics generally wont be a problem (WWE never punished anyone else for doing it). And I'd expect this to be the end of the story unless other women come forward with stories about him. And ultimately, if any sponsors get involved (which is highly unlikely). On a side note about pictures, I was speaking to a friend who is a school principal and one of the things we discussed was bullying etc. I asked if he had many instances of kids sending pics that would then be used to bully and he said once in awhile but that the sending of pics was so common now that it wasnt often seen as a big deal. ie. they all do it so no one really cares.

Goalie Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 Sounds like his accuser is bitter towards ESPN for being let go.. And could be making stuff up. Still think the Enzo stuff was fabricated also but they (WWE) were sick of his crap and let him go. The Unknown Poster 1

Yeah she also said Jamele Hill was the victim of a racist phone call but Jamele denies it. So it throws some question onto her accounts. Although the idea that ESPN would be a boys club is likely not a revelation, not that its an excuse or anything. Some guys have a big issue with women in sports for some reason. If this stuff is going on, they should correct it immediately. On the Enzo front, the only news since his release is that he'd being edited out of an episode of Undercover Boss so the investigation is still harming him. Hopefully his lawyer can either get a statement from the DA that there are no grounds for charges (essentially exonerating him) or, if he did it, he gets charged and punished. Either way, a monumental fall from grace and mostly self-inflicted. Im pretty sure WWE does "life training" with their talent in Florida but I guess Enzo wasnt listening that day. EDIT: Oh an amazingly, Del Rio is back on good terms with WWE, taping video for an upcoming Rey project and meeting with Vince... Edited March 6, 2018 by The Unknown Poster
Taynted_Fayth Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 just watched an episode of IMPACT the other day (probably an old episode) that saw Lashley lose his title to some much smaller dude and Del Rio cutting a promo fora match in what im guessing is the impact version of the IC title. In watching that it got me thinking 1. Lashley would be a bunk pick up or the WWE. He's in good shape for his age but not getting any younger and the spear is such a lame finisher and 2. now that ifinally figured out the difference between smackdowns Riot Squad and Raws Absolution would that mean either Del Rio has to go to SD or would they cut ties with Paige as shes not much more then valet at this point due to that injury a little while ago?

Was the smaller guy Eddie Edwards? He beat Lashley for the title in 2016. Edwards is pretty talented. He was in the American Wolves tag team with Davey Richards (who's super talented and worked Kenny Omega for us here a few years ago). They had a try out with WWE a few years ago but didnt get signed (before WWE was signing smaller but talented guys). Lashley improved dramatically in TNA. And he is on his way to WWE and should debut around WM (I'd guess the RAW the next night). There is talk of Brock vs Lashley though Brock's deal is up right after WM so he either will do one more PPV, work the RAW or re-sign of that match is to happen. Lashley beating Brock on RAW to send him to UFC would be great if Brock is leaving. There is a film about Paige and her family coming out, produced by The Rock and WWE so Paige is being kept for that (well, at LEAST for that, they might keep her otherwise as they like her and she got hurt in their ring). Its possible Paige and Del Rio could work the same tour as professionals but last time around, WWE *was* trying to keep them apart. Del Rio on SD makes sense but if they wanted him on RAW they could also switch Paige to SD (although Absolution makes a logical "henchmen" group of Steph's against Ronda after WM)
The Unknown Poster Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Speaking of Eddie Edwards: Check out the 20 second mark... Jim Cornette (and others) ripped Sami Callihan over this spot gone wrong. Edited March 6, 2018 by The Unknown Poster
