Seth was usually never like this but now that he's viewed at the top guy he's gotten a huge ego. In fact since he got to the main roster his ego has grown. I've seen multiple reports yearly of fan backlash of him being a d*ck to fans or a complete d-bag to fans. There was an incident I believe last year after one of the PPV's Seth defended the title. At a local store and Alexa and Braun also there. Fans said Seth was a really ####### and Alexa and Braun seemed pretty unsettled by Seth's behavior they felt the need to go apologize to the fans. Apparently he blew off a kid with some disabilities and Alexa and Braun stayed and took pics with the kid and his dad who had also just left the PPV. Completely blew my friends and I off a few yrs ago during the RR in Philly. 

Absolutely embarrassing they chose this guy as their face of the company if he's gonna treat "The WWE Universe" in public like that routinely. This is why I keep saying I don't see Becky and him lasting. Complete opposites. She actually takes time to greet and say hi to fans even if public where Seth just blows people off. No doubt in my mind he'd blow a kid in a wheel chair off if they aren't a make a wish child

The funny thing is, Vince had the right guy with Roman. He just went about the build all wrong.

Disagree Roman was never liked by the fans. It always felt forced. Roman isn't the greatest in the ring either. He's a hard worker but many believe he was simple pushed because of who his family is. I've talked to multiple friends of mine in the business who have friends in WWE and many believed Roman was the wrong choice. Multiple guys felt they needed to keep pushing Punk and with Daniel Bryan getting hot many believed the Main Event of Mania should've been Punk being champion with Bryan winning the Rumble not Rock vs Cena again and Bryan having to face Batista and or Triple H. Punk hated the fact guys who worked hard who were skilled in the ring who the fans liked were being shorted for older guys Vince felt HE OWED SOMETHING TOO. And the refusal to turn Roman heel is a huge issue. They should've turned him the night after he Beat Taker.

That is absolutely ridiculous. A game should never be released with those types of problems. People should be fired for that.

They won't and they should make the ultimate team stuff and all in sports games paywall's illegal. It's introducing gambling to minors. NBA2K has huge issues and they use Ronnie 2K to make all these promises and none never happened. One of these days these companies will be sued for false advertising. It's also like many of these companies didn't put effort this year into any games because of the next Gen Consoles coming out. Also I can't get The Fiend even though I pre ordered the game as an unlocked character until after I play and beat their stupid Towers mode in the game that has him. 

These companies get to release games constantly that have bugs just because they can. People will buy it and people won't go after them legally for it. However I'm giving WWE2K the Benefit of the doubt this year. Yukes left them high and dry without warning 6 months ago. Developers were already working on this game right shortly after or already had a group of people starting work shortly before last years release on this years games. But when a huge part of your company leaves right in the middle well that kind of sucks and does damage to everyone. The ones hurt the most are the fans though. 

 
Jordan Myles tweeted about a WWE oversight on a shirt design for him by WWE. Among reports multiple sources say it was a genuine mistake to create merch that had racially insensitive perceive. Will WWE apologize? No guarantee they will considering how they've acted towards minorities over the years. After the tweets today will Myles Succeed in WWE again? Highly doubtful 

Just bad all the way around and another mistake when you have an upstart company moving in? The people in WWE are really ###### 

 
Among the 3 brands (or more if you count UK) of WWE, there's like 4000 "superstars" on all the rosters.  How does one guy on NXT figure to rise to the top, let alone by being on the bad side of VKM and/or HHH?  Everyone can't win every match... like Aleister Black.  

I agree that the t-shirt is crappy.  I didn't see racism at first glance (just a real ugly shirt) but after reading/seeing responses in the tweet thread, I can see that point of view.  WWE should apologize and do better by Jordan. 

But he may as well try to sign with AEW or Japan.  He'll get squashed by creative in WWE like <insert anyone here like EC3>.

I must be missing something - what is the racial angle here? I'm shuked.

ETA - ok, I just read the twitter comments and now understand what the issue is. While the insensitivity was clearly lost on me, it seems WWE needs more diversity in the office building. This should have been easily avoided.

If they'd have run it by ACH, he would've given you his thoughts and hence the E had a chance to change it before it blows up like it did.

 
Smackdown drew 888k :lmao:  Time to throw them on FS1.....actually they were just thrown there. Time to demote them to the Fox Sports Go app.

AEW actually outdrew Smackdown in the ratings.

The answer is they will issue a non-apology that is also most likely a lie.

WWE claims ACH approved the t-shirt design.

He makes a few valid points on how value or devalue WWE does minority wrestlers that are black. Bringing Hogan back after an apology when there were guys still in the locker room not happy with him and voiced being uncomfortable around Hulk even after the Locker room apology and WWE apparently blew guys/gals off who voiced that to them. He lost credit when going after Jay Lethal in a since deleted tweet

However from his side of the story (It makes sense from the people I've talked to this seems to always be communication issue) that he voiced his opinion on the shirt first had. The shirt was then redone and he voiced his displeasure again but was told that Triple H had approved it so he said he figured he had no choice but to approve it.. When he talked to Hunter about it, Hunter flat out told him he had the impression from people that he talked to that Myles approved of the shirt. Hunter was apparently confused why someone would tell him Jordan approved of it without having talked to him yet and then telling him (Hunter) it was ok. 

My guess theories here and I got two of them:

One I've been told numerous times over the last few months WWE ain't releasing anyone with AEW out there in fear of talent being taken. You have to do something Hulk Hogan esc or something similar for WWE to release you where they have no choice but too. I think Myles is trying to do exactly that if WWE can prove he's smearing WWE.

Two I think the design was an honest mistake not really thinking before making it type thing, Jordan overreacted after the initial one had to be redone (possible lied to Hunter /Myles to get the shirt approved) do to this info. 

I think he makes some great points on Hogan and other things in WWE on the race issue but loses credit on the ROH and Lethal bashing. I've heard from people I know there Jordan AKA in ROH ACH was going to get a nice push as they were happy what he had done in NJPW that year in the Super JRs Tag Tourney that year. But instead left to pursue other goals in the wrestling scene. He was iN NJPW for a cup of coffee and wrestled at WK in in 2017 

Either way it looks like an oversight by WWE and they try and cover it up with some virtue signaling comments

The shirt is similar to the smiliey face Turtleneck design that people got up in arms over about. Same colors as well. If true it sounds like the designer or more lied to Jordan and Hunter about it. I don't see Hunter being racist nor is Steph IMHO. Question can be asked if VKM is though. Hunter just allowed Lio Rush back after issues and everyone thought he was essentially fired or granted a release. Jordan was being pushed in NXT to winning the rising stars Tourney and everything. So not sure you can say he wasn't being pushed already but this won't help him. If it's found out someone lied to Jordan and Hunter they are in HUGE TROUBLE and they should be looking into finding another job while they are still in WWE for now because they are getting #### canned the minute they get got. I can See Hunter not letting Jordan go at that point and just letting him sit a few weeks and settle down and come back when everything blows over. 

Either way this isn't what WWE needs going into a very controversial week already 

 
Found an interesting list on who won't be at Terrorist Blood money PPV

Aliestar Black: Becase he has too much pink on his body and only wears trunks. Unlike guys like Roman and AJ who have those parts covered

Sami Zayn: He's Syrian obvious issues here

The Whole WOmen's Division: Above reason Applies

Daniel Bryan: Possible considering he didn't go last year. 

K.O: His family doesn't want him to go and he may not go anyway as they won't let Sami in anyway. 

 
Myles was apparently suspended for Conduct and hasn't been at the PC in over a month. He apparently stirs the pot and causes trouble. WWE is looking for a buyout and will release him in the next 36-48 hrs

I don't care if the world series is an excuse. For a show they're trying to hype as on the same level as Raw, this should never happen. Laughable. Bunch of clowns over at WWE.

Should note SD was on FS1 this week. I knew some of this but more clarity from my buddy who works in TV and his opinion on this also Dish got rid of FOX I believe

"While WWE expected similar numbers to USA or even Friday night Smackdown on Sci-fi, FS1 is on a special TV package, meaning that not everyone has the TV channel, FS1 is a sports channel usually at the very end of the listings in all major cable and dish service providers. It’s a hard to find Channel and Fox knew it, period. This channel used to be Speed Network and wasn’t a popular channel."

 
Russev / Lana / Lashley is good shlt pal.

Everyone is interested in a story that starts on Chapter 10. :thumbup:  That's five minutes of my life that I'll never get back. Fortunately it's the only 5 of the show I watched.

Yeah this whole story line is so cringeworthy, it's astonishing.  Even for WWE.

Brad Sheppard got them good the other day when they tried to go after him. I forget what it was but I think it was the fact he got something with members of a match right and that account said the wrong names 

 
From a source:

"as reported earlier yesterday ACH was ok his way out of wwe. Officials talked Vince into having a meeting with him and he was given an ultimatum, either you apologize or we let you go and youll never work a match again. He apologized today..."

From what I got out of this it sounded never work another match in the business again

I don’t know how much sway VKM has with other promotions outside of his umbrella. I mean, if Court Bauer wanted him, what’s Vince going to do about it?

I can’t imagine RoH being pleased with him dragging Jay Lethal and his broken arm into it.

Theres a lot I heard about this guy that wouldn't sit well with other promotions if they found out. I'm sure those who worked with him prior already know some of them. Not privy to say what most of these are but Vince could leak them and when confirmed by his (Jordan's) former promotions could really black ball him out of wrestling. I talked to a few NJPW guys at the Tour I was at in late Sept and there was not a lot said positive about working with Myles back then. Didn't believe a lot of it at the time but when this whole thing happened and I talked to the WWE guys I knew it essentially confirmed what the NJPW guys had told me. It wasn't that I didn't want to believe the NJPW guys as it was more I really didn't know these guys and I just met them that day so I didn't know if there was an agenda behind it or not. I felt after the issues going on with Myles it was safe to ask for confirmation on the stuff I got from that show. Pretty much a lot if not all true.

There was nothing like domestic incidents or anything like that. Just more so the guy would turn on you and your company if he could make a quick buck off you. He's a race baiter among other things. Other promotions aren't going to want that type of person with today's landscape of the world. You don't want to hire this guy and end up with a Jusse Smollet situation I was told. There were other issues as well here. He's also incredible entitled person as well. Most of these issues didn't come out till he was winning the Young Prospects or whatever it was NXT Tourney. Then that success went to his head got a bigger ego and his real self started coming out more

Like I said he's been missing from the PC over a month now do to a Suspension for conduct. I wasn't told what it was actually for other then what they are calling it was why. Funny you mentioned Court Bauer and I talked to one guy who worked closely when he was in WWE and he said Bauer knows who he is and wouldn't hire him. A few people I talked to said privately they will say they agree with a lot of what Jordan said about WWE especially concerning the Hogan thing and VKM and others ignoring the Black wrestlers concerned after theology as well however he went about it the wrong way. 

I was also told some of the minority talent are still not ok with Hulk in the locker room present. They feel the whole Saudi Thing is irony considering the political landscape over there as well.
