I agree people get offended too easily these days but it was still in poor taste making a joke about Emma losing her job. But it wasn't as bad as when Josh from Tough Enough made a crack on Twitter about 3MB being "jobbers" a few years ago. At least Rush kept it kayfabe.

milamber Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 That's the thing, I don't honestly believe he was making fun of Emma losing her job, I think he was making a joke about WWE saying 'no one is ready for Asuka!' all the time. True but the timing was awful. His co-worker was just fired and he turned it into a way to make himself relevant on social media. He's a nobody in WWE terms who shouldn't be tweeting about anything other than his own matches in NXT at this stage of his career. Vince loves his social media buzz so the superstars have to extra careful what they post so they don't make the old man angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 So almost out of nowhere Drew Gulak has turned into one of the favorite superstars. I was a fan of his wrestling since he joined WWE but his character work has been highly entertaining this past month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rone Rivendale Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Gulak has been one of my favorites ever since he was Soldier Ant in CHIKARA. His current 'geek' gimmick is pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milamber Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 There's also the "we are men of honor" line that Sami used, presumably in reference to the firing of their old Ring of Honor buddy Jimmy Jacobs. Can't imagine that was approved. In other news Jinder lost the title to AJ. Which is great, so long as AJ doesn't get squashed by Lesnar at SS. Although rumor has it Brock refused to work with Jinder which is why the title change happened. Also, while it wasn't much of a match, we had an actual intergender match between Becky and Ellsworth. Triple H said in an interview (last year I think) that he wasn't opposed to the idea but that it wasn't likely to happen any time soon. To be honest, I've been a little impressed by Vince and Creative during this Survivor Series build. It's been a bit of clusterfork but it's been less predictable than usual.

All this is, of course, subject to what happened being what is reported to have happened. Oh I absolutely agree that they shouldn't hijack a show but I was just agreeing with their frame of mind. They are two really hot heels and it makes no sense to feed them to The new day if it is not on PPV. Them acting like chicken S#1T heels only builds heat. Its wrestling 101 and faces shouldn't be successfully doing post match beat downs on free tv unless it is on midcard jobber heels ala (Heath Slater 2010-2016). You absolutely don't go into business for yourself! I just understand the reasoning behind the protest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Nection Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Any sources available? Couldn't find these rumors anywhere. Actually from what I've read they are protecting Jinder by not feeding him to Brock so he can pick up that belt on a New Delhi House show. As much as we all want to see an even contest between Aj vs. Brock its going to be mostly Brock mauling Aj until Brock will be gracious enough to pin him. https://www.forbes.com/sites/epson/2017/10/04/how-new-gen-doc-scanners-can-boost-your-companys-efficiency/#59f47edd4ed9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Any sources available? Couldn't find these rumors anywhere. Pro Wrestling Illustrated and Wrestling Observer articles via Cageside Seats. Apparently it's been an idea for many weeks but Vince only gave it the OK the week before. Both Heyman and Lesnar pushed hard for Styles as his opponent. I'm not not surprised as Mahal would be a big step down from Joe/Strowman/Reigns (or even Goldberg who has name value) and Vince obviously wants to keep the Beast happy.

Mootinie Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 <p>I've heard plenty of theories but Dave Meltzer doesn't know for sure why they took the belt off Jinder and that's where the hearsay should end really. I get tired of there being so many "insiders" with their SCOOPZ, most of whom don't know for sure and admit as much but know their "source" can never be challenged. </p><p> </p><p> I take it all with a pinch of salt but clearly they feel they can still sell the India tour without Jinder as Champion. I doubt he's winning the belt back at New Delhi <a href="http://www.wwe.com/wwe-live-india" rel="external nofollow">because AJ Styles isn't booked for the tour and it looks like they're doing Jinder vs. HHH on one of the dates.</a> </p><p> </p><p> For what it's worth, no dirtsheet reported that WWE fired Austin Aries but if you're to believe the man himself that's what actually happened.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
