Ms. Stratus seems to be at discontent at the seemingly unraveling of her hard work in building the WWE's women division up to something credible. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggaloninjalee Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I am interested in reading more about this once the backstory and roster is updated in the first few months of this thread. I love WCW revivals and have been toying with the idea of a WCW revival alternate mod to my 2012 release. Just hard after so long justifying a revival for me. Makes more sense to leave it dead and not even try to go down that path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
