He might be scared because of Cody’s success, only Cody is the exception of all exceptions and no one in WWE would have HALF the success Cody has except for a very, very select few

Oh I don’t know. It would never happen in a million years and I’m not exactly a fan of his, but if Randy Orton was released, I think the indies would collectively freak out and throw bales of money at him to be on their shows.

But yeah, at the same time, someone like Heath Slater or Tye Dillinger isn’t going to be much of a draw on the indy circuit.

Welp, very happy to see Bobby Rude win the US title.

And Jinder, dude seriously, make some freaking changes to your moveset and stop being so goddamned slow and deliberate. Big man monsters can get away with that, you can’t.

So, a Florida gym owner who plead guilty to selling steroids [says Roman Reigns was one of his clients.](http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2018/0117/635998/roman-reigns-alleged-to-be-client-of-jailed-steroid-dealer/)

Could the other shoe be about to drop on the Reign Train?

Florida? I wonder if he’ll name a bunch of WWE people in the end.

Well, well, well. [Look who wants his job back.](http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2018/0119/636087/alberto-el-patron-says-he-apologized-to-triple-h-and-blames/)

Either no one else will book him after all the shit he’s pulled, or working for TNA is an even more soul-crushing experience than I thought was possible.

I don’t think it’s him wanting his job back as it is just him being his asshole self and throwing Paige and her family under the bus. You obviously care for someone when she probably can’t do the thing she wants to do more than anything else in the world and you take this opportunity to talk shit about her.

Oh…wait…

Oh, yes. _Alberto el Ruina_.

Made his bed, lying in it, pissing himself, all that. Another 5-10 years from now he’ll be touring with Virgil.

Great Khali. What a chump.

“WWE has failed in India. They thought they would use the Great Khali fully and then leave him. \*\*But I have been trying hard for long to leave WWE, but they kept on offering me contract. \*\*Finally in 2014, I have decided I will leave once my contract ends and will not work with them ever again.”  
_I was really trying to leave guys, honest. But they kept waving money in my face!_

:rolleyes:

It totally wasn’t my knees! I swear, I can actually walk and run and jump!

Saying Enzo has been accused of sexual assault and has been suspended pending an accusation of rape. The woman accuses him and two others, I assume one is a rapper by the name, dunno the other guy.

Now they’ve got to scramble for a Cruiserweight Championship match for RR. Determine a challenger for the challenger, I guess.

Any compelling thoughts on yesterday’s show?

I thought it was OK enough. Didn’t really do anything to advance storylines and really just screwed the Manhattan Center people over.

Although I liked the mutual two sweet, I get really annoyed with ‘legends utterly bury and up and coming tag team to show us that they’ll never amount to anything’.

If my contract was coming up, I’d point out that they just made it clear, as they did with The Ascension, that I’ll never amount to anything in WWE and thanks, I’ll start looking elsewhere now.

@SeanRossSapp

“I was told this morning that Enzo Amore was aware of the allegations and didn’t clue WWE in.”

That would do it. Under investigation for rape for more than 3 months and never mentioned it to WWE. Especially after all the other difficulties with this guy.

Well, I’d say that I hope that he saved most of his WWE money, but I think we all know that didn’t happen.

Enzo No More, eh?

Oh well, Enzo and Nia had no chemistry anyway.

According to the victim:

Pros:  
Steve Austin hasn’t aged. Does he bathe in the blood of virgins?  
Asuka is no longer friends with the faces and no longer has to share their spotlight.  
Return of Jericho and The List!  
Elias is working with Cena and showing he can main event.

Cons:  
The Manhattan Center is getting run down and the acoustics sounded flat. UT sounded like he was speaking from a plastic-lined refrigerator box.  
WWE deflated the Hardy-Wyatt feud into a throwaway match and completely sucked the life out of it.  
DX look like septagenarians trying to look young.

Little bit of both:  
WWE ignores the NWO by having Hall flock with DX, then pass “Too Sweet” to Balor Club. Nash and Hogan are not brought back.

Well, Hogan was definitely not brought back. AIUI, Nash claims to have been invited, but had to decline, because of reasons.

Nash said he declined because he’d had hip surgery or something like that only a month ago and didn’t think a plane trip, even in first class, would be very comfortable for someone his size.
