Maybe it's the opposite. Maybe Lars really does have anxiety, but he attacked the concept and those with it because it's a personal weakness that he's having difficulty coming to terms with. For some people it's easier to attack a condition viewed as a character flaw as made-up nonsense by weak people than to admit that you're also one of those so-called "weak" people with that "flaw".

Could very well be however Lars had the attack after the account was found. This account was apparently another banned account with comments he made on two different forums and he may have had the attack worrying someone would find the other account with the much worse comments on it. WWE could've used it as a cover as I'm hearing they are hoping to keep this whole ordeal on the low but I think now more people are gonna speak up it's gonna be hard too.Gary Coal Man said:

Not a done deal yet but they announce it Wednesday. A lot can happen in that period. I reported this two months ago to watch for an announcement by AEW on a TV deal before DoubleORNothing or during the show.millertyme1 said:

If they're going to be appearing at the Turner upfronts, the deal is done. You just don't know the terms.

Cody has signed indy wrestler Dustin Thomas to wrestle at Double or Nothing. A brilliant way to get mainstream press with positive, feel-good stories for AEW. If you're not familiar with Dustin (and I wasn't until just a couple days ago), I think you'll enjoy this match.

A guy with no legs wrestling makes him a face everyone would love and fits right in as being the anti-WWE big sweaty men stereotype.
I will say, however, that the last episode of Road to Double or Nothing didn't show enough of the bikini photo shoot involving Brandi, Penelope Ford and Britt Baker

I was more so saying Lars didn't have the anxiety attack because the initial stuff came out but he was afraid someone would find the 2nd account with much worse stuff. I mean theres a few not as bad things he does say I agree with in CM Punk is a bit overrated and a #####, his views on Israel, and the Susan G stuff being nothing more then stuff for a good PR move just like their Be a Star campaign which is a total farce given the backstage politics.Tom Servo said:https://lordsofpain.net/lars-sullivan-apologizes-for-controversial-comments/ It was apparently him, because he apologized.

Also I think Lars could be done. He didn't appear scheduled at an event last night for WWE in Europe. Mars Wrigley Confectionary a sponsor of WWE got a letter from a fan on on the Lars situation expressing concern and the company basically gave them the Company line of "We are aware and just as upset" however added they are communicating with WWE on the situation. I think if the fans speak up enough Lars could be done. Theres some speculation in the back that WWE covered for Lars a few months ago saying he had Anxiety to cover their tracks as they were aware of the first account not sure about the 2nd one till someone told them. So WWE could release the guy and if Lars tried to fight it The E just shows the medical report saying we used Anxiety to cover our tracks and made a reasonable excuse why he was off TV.
Also LARS gave the typical PR BS apology. I'm only sorry because I got caught. Maybe he's changed since then. Heard a few people call into the podcast I listen to who are in the area of NXT who either worked out at the gym he did or other places and all have said he's a very nice guy. But with some people they can be incredible nice in public but at home a completely different person.

That is awesome.
Random comment about the Von Erich episode of Dark Side of the Ring: Kevin Von Erich might be in the top 5 for "wrestling is still real to me" camp. He will never top the reigning champ, Bret Hart, but you listen to him, that ish was REAL.
Also, it hurts that my favorite wrestler as a kid is such an loyal Trump Supporter. He is almost unfollowable on Twitter.

How many times does UT try to walk the ropes but slip off and go back to it again? Or the number of headlocks in the middle of the ring so they can catch their breath?

I would tell you to look past that, but I unfollowed Maria Kanellis for similar reason (wacky feminist). Hers was just as cringe-worthy as his probably is.

Ref should be fired. No excuse for him not to stop the match. It took almost 10 MINUTES TO GET KING SOME HELP!!!! We may #### on WWE a lot for creative and all but they are great when it comes to medical emergencies in ring or around the arena. Jerry Lawler said the time medical took and the CPR he received the night of his heart attack were main reasons he's still alive today. When it comes to medical emergencies WWE is really good on the spot. Lets not forget that Now them diagnosing people and having them wrestle with injuries is a totally different story.

For anyone concerned Becky and I are still married. We have an open relationship. It's a very healthy and productive one. I'm seeing Ivelisse btw on the side

It's why I was a little surprised when I saw that Lacey Evans was getting a huge push. SHe's a huge trump supporter and Military brat online and WWE has done a great job of staying out of the politics since Trump a known person in WWE went for the presidency and won. Only two things regarding politics I've seen since then was the McMahons at the WH and Linda's job. So the fact WWE is pushing Lacey who's very vocal on her politics surprises me. There's also some other wrestlers online I stopped following who I liked as kids do to comments I didn't appreciate. I stopped following Vader a few yrs ago when it became obvious he was butthurt with the Indy stars and I met him at a local event when his health was better and he was totally disrespectful for the younger talents. There's a few others from wrestling to entertainment I've unfollowed in the past do to comments or actions made. Codi Rhoades is similar at times. He becomes incredible SJW at times where its annoying. Making comments like Russo wasn't even that good back in the day, The Attitude ERA was the worst thing for WWE, wrestling has no shock factor, signing of the transgender, etc. Look I got no problem with a Trans wrestler and other things but if Codi goes all SJW with AEW they are not going to be as popular as people want it to be.

AEW on TNTDRAMA is official now
AEW also signed Legendary Ref from WWE and TNA Earl Hebner. Hebby and JR are reunited once again. Those two have been involved in some of the greatest WWE memories of in my life time from Hebner officiating the match and JR commenting on them.

Guys, I'm heading to RAW this Monday in Albany as I did last year, but haven't watched the product in a good few months. Can anyone give me a brief rundown of the current goings-on in the storylines?
Last year WWE treated us to what was hailed as one of the worst RAW episodes in the program's long history with that stupid Bobby Lashley's sisters "this is your life" skit. I was embarrassed lol.

A lot will depend on what happens at MitB the night before.
Generally, RAWs the night after a PPV/NE are the best ones as new storylines get laid out. Good luck

I follow Cody on twitter and IG and I'm not seeing that. I get lots of cigar photos and pics of Pharaoh. If you're spelling his name Codi, perhaps you're following an imposter.

$50 to order A&W PPV.
Talk about not understanding the landscape. Woof.
Any wrestling company has uphill battle to compete with WWE considering their price. But to price it 5 TIMES as much as a startup just shows a complete lack of business sense. All the best to them and the many pirated streams.

Really makes no sense. Priced your built in/hardcore audience out + no chance a curious non-fan orders it. Thing will be pirated to ####.
Literally the same exact thing happened with that FloSports website. Believe had like Evolve/Progress Wrestling.....but they price the thing at like $19.99/mo
. For minor league wrestling with little to no library. Just amazing how absolutely clueless and lack of research goes into these things.JMO They really SHOULD be incorporating a partnership with Starrcast. You'll bring in casual fans that enjoy interviews/podcasts/live shows....that may not care about the actual wrestling action. I know I'd spend the $50-60 on Starrcast before I did any wrestling show.

I think $19.99 or $24.99 would have been the sweet spot for sales and revenue. As bad as the price is, moving away from FITE to B/R Live is confusing, especially with Starrcast still being on FITE. B/R is owned by Turner, so it makes sense with the TNT announcement, but that just makes the price point all the more insane. Want to make the TNT thing start with a bang while giving B/R Live (which I didn't know was a thing) a boost? $4.99 for the PPV with ALL-IN as a free throw in to show how they got to this point. It's about eyeballs versus dollars at this point.

I feel bad for you. Most nights after a PPV can depend on other factors. It's hit or miss.

Rumore had it you might be able to get it through the fight app but yeah I won't be ordering it. I'll be watching some other way unless I can get a group of my friends together and have everyone chip in.

B/R Live has most of the Champions league and Europa League soccer streamed as well. I forget how much it is per month but I didn't buy it because I'm not paying some ridiculous fee to watch a tourney with games on TV as well for free or what my cable bill is already

Lars Sullivan was fined pretty big for his past comments. WWE sent him to sensitivity training which I always thought was BS and that sort of thing just never works. Talking to people who have done it for work (Required by all employees at some places) most don't even take it seriously and a most of the times it just makes things worse. I'm not sure the appropriate action here is but I definitely wouldn't be giving him a big push and maybe kept him off TV again.

Leo Rush has been fired. His twitter is inquiring bookings for independance
"Lio Rush is gone from wwe. His release will be revealed either this Friday or next. But I can confirm he was FIRED."

Something good has come out of the Silver King tragedy: MLW and AEW referees to receive CPR training
IMO, they should probably add having AEDs on site as well.

I hope he is okay, but this does not sound good. An icon like RF probably deserves his own thread.
