Any WWE fans in the audience? (Part 1)

Actually, their Wellness stuff is on-line and you can read it. Testing positive for Marijuana hasn’t been a suspension in a couple of years now. It’s only a $2,500 ‘fine’.

I know, I was being silly. To date, the last time they’ve given anyone a Wellness suspension was Ricardo Rodriguez back in 2013 for using some kind of weight-loss drug they don’t allow. (Gee, I wonder if that may have somehow been related to Triple H constantly calling him fat?)

He could use Byron Saxton’s pee.

Was thinking that changed around the time they brought Van Dam back. :cool:

All he had to do was negotiate for a little extra to cover their ‘fines’.

So it turns out that Zahra Schreiber, NXT prospect and Seth Rollins’ side action, just might be a massive racist.

One wonders whether her association with Seth is enough to stop her from getting Hoganed.

Let’s think about how WWE could possibly spin this…

  1. She hasn’t actually appeared on camera yet as far as I know.
  2. WWE doesn’t want a top star/face of the company to have less-than-savory characteristics such as racism, but Zahra hasn’t become a mainstream personality yet.
  3. She already has an internet reputation of being a dirty hussy. She embarrassed Seth with the nude photos thing and most probably was the reason his fiancee dumped him. Seth however, doesn’t seem to have suffered since he’s now WWE and US champ. He’s handled the negative aspects of fame pretty well in the aftermath. Zahra may have actually done him a favor.
  4. WWE has turned behind-the-scenes scandal like this into storyline angles before, such as the Lita/Matt/Edge love triangle.
  5. Zahra is mean, nasty, uncaring, vindictive and spiteful, so she would make a great heel, the type everybody wants to see get their just desserts. She could be the next AJ Lee. That means MILLION OF DOLLARS! MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!
  6. The Hogan thing has lasted its fifteen minutes, and everyone has moved on to the next scandal. Hogan will probably be back in a few months.

Zahra hasn’t been on TV yet (except as Seth’s arm candy at Takeover) but she did just debut at an NXT house show, where her gimmick is that she’s Solomon Crowd’s little sister/manager. I could easily see this resulting in her getting put on the back burner until she learns how to behave online.

My best guess is that they make an angle out of it.

This scandal is peanuts compared the nude photo thing and they STILL brought her out, so I can’t imagine that this is going to hold them back

Well, that didn’t take long - she’s been fired.

The big difference between this and the nude photos, of course, is that that wasn’t her fault - she was the victim of a hacker and those pictures obviously weren’t intended for public consumption.

HA!

Good Riddance

ETA: Might be something…might be nothing…but Ms. Cups just said that the Orlando Sentinel just reported someone was shot outside of the Performance Center

There’s been an officer-involved shooting at the Performance Center.

Details are still sketchy, but Triple H posted on Twitter a few minutes ago that the man who was shot was a “deranged” person who’s tried to break into the Performance Center in the past and has a trespass order against him, and who was presumably trying to do so again when this incident happened.

Yup, exactly this.

It was a deputy officer who was involved and this “deranged individual” (Ambrose?) was the culprit

Ok, COLBY, that’s Strike TWO.

Seriously, I gotta think WWE is giving him the serious warnings now. Issue with nude pics and a now former fiance that involved this woman, now she (his current gf) gets fired for nazi shit. And the year isn’t over yet.

Dude, go for the trifecta and you can be TNA’s world champ! Hell, they’ll probably give you and her some kind of really offensive Iron Sky type gimmick!

Between this, the shooting, and Charlotte’s soon-to-be-ex-husband being arrested for choking out his new girlfriend (yeah, that happened yesterday morning), Cole’s going to be walking on eggshells on commentary tonight.

“Ladies and gentlemen, now trending worldwide on Twitter… actually, don’t check Twitter tonight, it’s not really important. Just sit back and enjoy the show, coming up next we have… Sheamus vs. Randy Orton? Well, ladies and gentlemen, NXT Takeover: Brooklyn is now available for on-demand streaming via the… wait, she was on that too? You know what? Just read a goddamn book, people.”

A guy received “life threatening” gunshot wounds because he was apparently obsessed with one of the divas and was a chronic problem.

I didn’t know about Charlotte’s whole thing, although I heard just now too that something happened with Braun Stroman or whoever he is being arrested too.

The hell is happening in the world

I believe you’ve got him confused with Bram, the TNA wrestler who is/was married to Charlotte and got arrested. I haven’t heard about anything happening with Braun.

Obviously they all need a Violence in the Workplace presentation.

Would probably confuse the fuck out of them. :stuck_out_tongue:

I swear, moving to Florida has really been a boon for my wrestling fandom, and it just keeps getting better and better!

I move down here and do I get to see an NXT house show? Yup, I go to plenty.

RAW is in February of 2015? Better come visit and go to that. So I have NXT house shows and a RAW under my belt.

Then a couple weeks ago we get into a Full Sail Taping and we’re going to do that in a week. So we have house shows, a RAW, and a Full Sail Taping.

Now what do I read that’s announced? Only that the 2016 ROYAL RUMBLE IS BEING HELD IN ORLANDO. So guess what Ms. Cups and I are doing today? Figuring out if it’s just the two of us, or if we’re inviting another friend to go.

We’re also half-planning Wrestlemania this year too…what more could we ask for?
ETA: Yes I had them confused

Some details have come out about the guy who was shot at the Performance Center - he’s 29 years old, seems to have a major crush on AJ Lee going from his Instagram page, and has been obsessed with trying to get WWE to hire him. He auditioned for Tough Enough, has shown up unsolicited at both the Performance Center and Titan Towers more than once, and has gotten aggressive when turned away - he apparently swung a chain at some employees one time, and on another occasion vandalized the building with a mixture of milk and his own waste.

Certified lunatic, in other words.

Now then, to cheer everyone up, here’s Big E and Sasha Banks riding around backstage on a scooter while yelling “BOOTY!”

Why is Roman Reigns talking about a Bowling Epidemic?

I may have heard that wrong.
