Absent a clause in a wrestler's contract, he or she is not legally required to disclose health information

No but Roman missing time he is legally suppose to disclose that info to them. I've heard of wrestlers who go to WWE and then the DR's let them go because they didn't disclose certain info. For Nigel McGuiness it was the opposite. He told them about the Rotator Cuff tear and he was told to get surgery. Got Hep from the surgery and could no longer wrestler and had to retire. Legally when your health puts you or others at danger you have to disclose that info.

AlsoI or Dave aren't saying WWE should've disclosed alll of Roman's health info. WWE could've done a better job since Leukemia Cares had to do it for them explaining cancer/leukemia and treatment. WWE could've put an article up on their website shared it to all their socials what Leukemia is, the certain types, treatments, risks and rewards, life span and success rate of beating them and after effects and even did a quick segment and gotten rid of a pointless promo or match that explained it easily their audience. WWE did release an update Roman was home doing Chemo but never specified it was by a pil. So when he was seen filming movies thats when WWE and or Roman needed to step in and give some more info off. Because WWE didn't do their job educating people they are in this predicament and Leukemia cares had to step in the next morning of his returning and start explaining stuff. WWE especially could've done a hell of a better job in this whole issue.

They do when said Wrestlers are determined the face of the company. Stock holders and financial advisors need to see how that impacts company value. For instance when Paul takes over for Vince those stock holders and investors and public need to know that.

No.

They don't care.

They have quarterly investor calls to discuss stuff like this.

Admit it, you're talking out of your hat here.

Same place he got that Reigns' cancer was fake. His own mind.

now youre putting words in my mouth. I never said it was fake as he never had it. I always said WWE could very well be deceitful playing it up bigger then it was. What Roman has right now is an incredible treatable form of cancer several yrs ago they didn't. The Leukemia he had is no different if found fast enough then an area of skin cancer thats simple removed with a DR visit but WWE and Roman hyped it up more as life or death. ReWatch his promo announcing it and look how WWE and Cole was told to play it off when he announced his remission.

I've already stated before How I've seen those guys but I also know some of the ROH people. Hell I knew a few f the old ROH trainers. ROH when they changed their HQ to Maryland Cheeseburger took over the Dojo and runs it in EXton PA now for them. Ive mentioned a few times Sandman is neighbors with a buddy of mine who I was in scouts with. In fact the guy next to them is believed to be part of Seal Team 6 that took out Bin Laden but thats more rumor than confirmed. I've talked to Sandman numerous times among other former ECW wrestlers who live in the general area who still know people with in WWE or left. The Podcaster I listen to who've I've befriended happens to be friends with Road Dogg, works for one of the promotions in New England & went to the same Boston Wrestling school with Sasha Banks when she was still Mercedes. He's also very close with Matt Hardy (Has his personal cell Number) as well as been "deleted" by the Hardy's, along with a few other people. Matt told hm there was a lot of stuff they had planned for his comeback but either they didn't fit into the plans WWE wanted or Vince thought for "his product" were too Goofy as Matt put it. This podcaster also introduced me at a personal meet and greet 2 summers ago to Mike Bennet and Maria. Her was up until recently before the moving to Foxboaurgh lived 4 houses from Matt Taven. Knows Vinnie Marsigillia (SP) & was in one of his shoot videos putting him over with the current character he has. The podcaster also Comp tickets for me from Road Dogg when I told this host about a customer I had at my job. She was dealing with some issues health wise, divorce & other things and her kids were big WWE fans. She wished she had the money to take them to the Royal Rumble. I told the podcaster who I befriended in a PM the issue and he contacted Road Dogg without me asking for help. Road Dogg then got in contact with me & told me he heard what was going on & asked if I was Busy Sat-Sun the dates of RR weekend in Philly. I said no so he told me to go to ticket master office & there would be tickets for not just RR but Takeover Sat night for myself as well as the family and I hope you guys have a good time. Without my knowledge the podcaster and Road Dogg also gave the kids personal video messages of encouragement & hoping their mom got better. The kids got a bunch of free stuff too. 

 My Co worker yes does production for WWE when they come to Philly for RAW/SD and PPVs depending on the show. He's an extra who fills in for sick people, people on vacation or leave of absence or if they need extra crew members like Raw 25 he was invited too but couldn't do. Vince Met him while at one of the old 80s Philly Convention Center shows doing his own taping & photography of the event. Vince personally went up to him asked about his work liked it, offered him FT on WWE's road crew. My buddy didn't take it do to the travel on the road as well as having a young family.How do you think I knew about the Jimmy/Naomi issues & they were gonna turn their relationship issues into a storyline with possible Mandy Rose? My Co worker told me about the issues that his friends in WWE told him. I asked the co host of the podcast I know to check into it for me. He came back with one source saying there's no filings by either for a divorce but things aren't good. BTW they are gonna or are thinking of turn this into a storyline with in the next couple of months. I posted that back in early mid Nov on here. With in a month we had the Naomi Mandy storyline. No one else in the dirt sheets seemed to have that info or report on a relationship info. He's pretty tight with the production team as there's a few other things I've yet to post because I want to confirm them with others but then he tells me what he knows by people in production who messaged him. 

Another source of mine happens to be a friend of the podcast I listen, gives them info. You know the Elite Contract talks I posted about? Dave Meltzer on the observer as well as the others reported word for word what my source said about the negotiations including Adam Paige having to go to NXT. I've more then twice have given legit info on here thats come out to be true. I understand some people don't like "spoilers' but they aren't as much spoilers as they are talks of what they've discussed or could happen. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. This source who gave us the Elite Contract stuff also said Wrestlevotes lost their source. Didn't say they lost the person but their source was found out by someone in the company & the source doesn't know they've been caught or Wrestlevotes doesn't want to say they lost their person because of how popular they've become for dirt sheets. Over the past 3 months they've been wrong on more then a few occasions. A hit here or there but that's only because their source is being told stuff WWE doesn't care gets out. One of my other sources have been taking subliminal shots on their tweets as well. My source also said most if not ALL OF THE TITLE MATCHES WILL BE MULTI PERSON MATCHES besides the Brock/Seth match. Triple threats, 4 way etc. So far The women's match Ronda/Becky/Flair, There's also dirt sheet rumors Asuka SD title will be Asuka/Mandy/Sonya, Women's tag match is being rumored as a Triple Threat, there's a rumor Mens SD Tag will be multi man match, then there's also some talks of Joe defending the IC vs Cena + one other person (probably R Truth), & Lashley's IC title triple threat possible Lashley/Lio/NA. So as of now it seems I've been more right then wrong on these "sources" as some folk here want to put it.

Look I understand some people don't like those but I'm also posting comments from behind the scenes and from people I've talked too. Not everyone is gonna agree with those (and this may sound dickish or egotistic and it's not want too be) but I put a lot more trust in the guys with experience I talk then people online who have never been in the business just basing their opinions off assumptions. Its fine if people don't believe me but so far I've proven through the dirt sheets, stuff actually happening and other things that I do have sources. And I'll admit even some of this stuff if I wanted to even lie about it I could never come up with myself. It'd be nice if the pot shots and "sources" comments would stop. I understand some of the stuff said could be upsetting to some as well but it's not all sunshine & Roses. I've also been incredible cordial for most of this with many here. I'm talking from a standpoint on the Roman Issue WWE could've handled the situation better educating their fans on the subject so they and us aren't in this mess we're in now. Like I said they didn't need to say what Roman had but gave some educational stuff on Leukemia, the types and the treatment. I think it was in bad taste for him?Rock and others tweeting and IG posting about them filming a movie together at the time if they wanted to Keep Roman's health private as well.

Sir this is a Wendy’s

 
Podcast wise...prichard covers WMXX this week while Shoemaker did XXX. You wanna know how big of a Reigns mark I am? I prefer the main event of 31 to 30. A perfect match Leanar and Reigns kept trying to top but couldn't. 

 
Matt Taven and Jay Lethal went Broadway last night at RoH 17th Anniversary! :shock:

RoH TV title holder Jay Cobb will go title for title against NEVER Openweight champ Will Osprey while new RoH tag champs Villian Enterprises will do the same against the IWGP tag champs the Guerillas of Destiny at the RoH/IWGP Supercard on April 6th.


 
I used to watch AWA Wrestling back in the 70s and then NWA in the 90s, leading into the WWF.... Plus the Baron Von Raschke put the claw on me one time at a wedding.

Oh oh oh...... I worked with the Crusher's Nephew in a past life.

:lol:

Back in the 80's before cell phones........ I was a drunk 20 something and everytime I walked by him at the wedding I would say " Dat's all da people need to know!" Finally he stood up and put the claw on me and laughed. Thankfully he was goofing around..... but I learned my lesson. Was a fun wedding

 
Becky Lynch posted a pic on Twitter of her in NXT on one of her debut Matches on tV Wrestling Charlotte Flair. In the tweet Lynch reveals a few weeks before that picture was taken WWE was considering releasing her. 

 
They legit used the podcaster I listen to stole his idea for Mojo Rawley but not surprised given it Was Road Dogg who used it. 

Also Ronda's husband Travis Browne may have either signed or has a hand shake agreement to work with WWE. 

Lio Rush also was legit knocked out during tonights match. Had to get medical attention after

 
I believe this is the Mania card as we know it:

Rousey vs Charlotte vs Lynch
Lesnar vs Rollins
HHH vs Batista
Styles vs Orton
Miz vs Shane
Angle vs Corbin
Andre Battle Royal
Elias concert

With these to be added:

Bryan vs Kofi (tbd tonight)
Lashley vs Balor (maybe ladder with Lio in a shark cage?)
US title defense (Joe vs Cena?)
Reigns vs McIntyre
Asuka title defense (3-way)
Women's tag title defense (3-way?)
Men's tag title defenses (maybe they should combine into one men's tag title as part of this - make it a giant scramble or whatnot)
205 Live title defense

Expected run time: 14 hours and 30 minutes
 

 
Kurt Angle's brother Eric charged with simple assault.
 

Local wrestling coach Eric Angle has been charged with simple assault after video obtained by FloWrestling allegedly shows him picking up a student by the throat before slamming him to the mat.

Parents were outraged when they saw Angle put his hands around the neck of a junior wrestler, lift him up and throw him on a mat. It happened after a match during the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling tournament at the Petersen Events Center.

When the junior wrestler got up, Angle pushed him again. After the incident, two police officers who also witnessed the assault pulled Angle and the junior wrestler aside.

Angle told the officers he was coaching the wrestlers when he messed up and let his emotions get the best of him. He was escorted out of the building and told he would not be allowed back for the remainder of the tournament.

Angle is the brother of former Olympic gold medal winner and WWE wrestler Kurt Angle. They operate Angle Elite Wrestling Club on Perry Highway in West View.

In addition to working the 2000 Survivor Series, he also briefly wrestled locally for International Wrestling Cartel.

 
Hell yeah, it's official: Ronda v Becky v Charlotte will be the first-ever women to headline WrestleMania.

I hope they tear the house down... when THE MAN comes around!

 
I personally think, for all the hell given to the company for their "shaking things up" speech back in December, that this WrestleMania card looks awesome. I think WWE might actually be turning a corner with their product. I hope this is a sustained feeling and not just Mania season optimism.

It is going to be like 8 hours... maybe work on brevity, but Mania only comes once a year baby!

 
So what's next with Kofi?  Another week or so with teasing him with his shot at Bryan at WM?  

It was a good battle for him last week but are we to believe he could beat those guys in a row like that?  An exhausted Kofi and a fresh S. Joe and Orton by actually pinning their shoulders down via small package, etc.?  really?  Bit of an eye roll, but it was good tv I suppose.  The only believable one was the DQ by big redwood (forgot his name).  

And what happened to Kofi's pectoral muscles?  He doesn't have any.

I'd pick a lumberjack match with all the others surrounding the ring (except for Nia and Snuka.  The rest are acceptable).  I'd get the pin and be able to clear the ring when the others jumped in and tried to bum rush me.   :bowtie:

This loos way better then the Mania card to be honest. I'm only interested in 2-3 matches at Mania and there's talk of them cutting the IC title completely off the card as well as Women's SD title and others to cut down on time

I hope it's not true because if it does come true I hope WWE is prepared to pay for the Damages at MetLife when People riot, but I've seen some reports and talked to people saying that Flair now might win because it's the ME. like I said I hope its not true and if it does happen people will not be happy. If it does I might be done with WWE for a while even might get rid of the network for a little while. Becky is the one of if not the biggest reason there's talk and most of the talk going into Mania is about this match that to not have her win would be total Bull. 

 
The Hart Foundation AKA Bret Hard and Jim The Anvil are going in the HoF announced by WWE today which also gives more truth to what I talked and reported about Owen's widow sending new legal action to WWE if they tried to include Owen Hart. It's honestly a dam shame and I feel terrible for the family. Yes I get her pain but she's really IMHO at this point being selfish and not allowing the fans to celebrate his life and career. I understand how she feels as she didn't want him wrestling still after Bret left WWE either but come on. The rest of the family even thinks she's being a complete Beyotch too. Bret has done exclusive interviews and posted on Social Media how hard it is to deal with her and how the Hart Family and sick and tired of his actions.

If you are to believe the Rumors Fox wants WWE to be more adult friendly and get rid of the kiddy stuff. They want WWE SDLive to look legit and feel the family friendly programming puts it in negative light
