It’s the Branch Covidians giving her all the grief. I don’t really care; let the woman believe what she wants. It's not a good look for her especially after 2 years ago she threw a temper tantrum in front of her colleagues because she didn't get her way and then came back months later and got everything she wanted. Just a terrible look for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJackson10 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 21 hours ago, ShamrockPride said: Oof. I didn't hear about this. Pretty damning if you ask me. My favorite part from the article is: "It was also reported by The Observer today that there was a negative reaction to Mobley’s comments, and that Mobley is not the only WWE writer in this situation, as this is typical of many of the writers. WWE officials were reportedly embarrassed by this going public due to the feeling that it makes the company look “blindingly stupid” to the outside world." YOU DON'T SAY?! You mean they didn't know already we think they are blindly this stupid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJackson10 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 22 hours ago, Tom Servo said: CM Punk's pipe bomb is truer today more than ever. I do have to laugh at the E because they hired a comedy writer who knew nothing about the business then fired her after she makes comments on a podcast openly wondering who the champion is. You actively sought people who don't know the business, and then get mad when they (inadvertently) expose the business and make you look like an idiot. Maybe hire people who know, love, and - most importantly - respect the business. I've said for a few yrs now that each year that passes Punk's Pipe bomb is more true. He knew what was up and it was omen for what was to come. Fun fact is a lot of what he said was his real opinion. Vince knew he was Pissed so he's like ok we'll let you go out and blow off some steam and lets see where we're at after this. But WWE cut him off when he was getting to the good stuff about The Anti bullying campaign and all. I heard he was gonna out Susan G too if they had let him keep going.

Basically Susan G is a Scam Breast cancer campaign that says it raises money for Breast cancer awareness but pockets mis of it. They also file legal trademark opps against smaller Cancer charities and has become a bully. They don't donate as much as they could/should either. Most goes to advertising cost and administrative costs. in 2012 Susan G. Komen pulled all its grants for breast cancer screenings to Planned Parenthood. They quickly reversed the decision after public outcry. Basically Susan G is the image company for Breast cancer you go to when you and your family make over 6 Figures yearly. It's the ritzy charity that makes you look good but underneath many of the people are just total fakes. My mom also works in the cancer world and knows many Drs who have their own issues with the Org but I was never given details on it. As for the Anti Bullying Example A JBL bullying Mauro Ranaulo and Vince seeing nothing wrong with it. Triple H there are numerious stories of him bullying talent he doesn't like. HBK and Hunter both bullied CM Punk when he first got there. There's also bullying at the production level and other levels of WWE my Former Co worker who worked part time for them told me about. They are the biggest hypocrites when it comes to anti bullying. Numerous wrestlers bullying other talent and employees over the years as well. And then you got Vince knowing about Pat Patterson and ring boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogart Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Money In The Bank is literally in my backyard this year. Feels like something I should try and go see live, take the kids. If no other reason than to see Edge one last time live. Then I look at ticket prices. $100 per ticket for the cheapest, most nosebleed seat. Granted, Dickies Arena is a great venue without a bad seat, but just not going to drop that kinda coin.$500 a ticket to sit where I would like to sit.

Yeah last WWE event was the SD after Royal Rumble Philly I went to. $40 for tickets stage right side on the ramp. Good view but it was the hard camera side so any promo in the ring was looking behind us. Not that looking as Charlotte Flair's Oh Hum ASSets wasn't a bad thing though. But yeah would I've spent that much if my buddy wasn't interested? No? I sat next to some decent wrestling fans but they were mostly WWE/ROH guys and I got excited maybe they'd talk some NJPW and half the guys didn't know what I was talking about. Went to the last NJPW tour and had a blast for Half the price in better overall seats and got to meat a ton of talent. This was around Lance Archer's last tour before going to AEW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJackson10 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 1 hour ago, Tom Servo said: Becky and Seth are now married. Congratulations to those crazy kids. They were legally married already. Just never had the ceremony yet. Still can't believe she's with him. She's literally the total opposite of him. They are also both totally different when it comes to fans too. I remember a HIAC PPV awhile back Seth and one other refused to at acknowledge a young WWE and his dad. Alexa Bliss and Braun Strauman took the time to sign autographs for the kid and pictures. Then you have a bunch of people who lost a ton of respect for him after going after Osprey the way he did and he had a little sit down with Taker and Hunter about etiquette amongst other talent. That was around the time WWE started making rules about WWE talent can't be responding publicly on social media to wrestlers in other companies. They lifted that rule for a short time when Brodie Lee died though. Just know a few people who knew Seth growing up and said he's really changed for the worse. He's great when he's back home in Iowa but is a complete jack #### elsewhere Meanwhile you got Becky who loves the fans, takes well to constructive criticism and really respects people. She doesn't care if you don't like her or not. Seems to get along with everyone backstage (never once have I heard from anyone talking poorly on her in WWE or in general). SHe's got a really cool personality, her happiness seems to be contagious whoever she's around and just overall a lot of people are happy for her. Hey if she's happy good for her.

DJackson10 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Rene was on Oral Sessions with The Iconic and her and Peyton talked about WWE dealing with spouses in AEW. When Moxley had the infection last year Renee said Hunter reached out to her saying if anything was needed in terms of pay for medical or anything WWE was there for her. There was some other examples but the point was WWE showed they cared despite other issues involving them and the talent involved and were willing to step up and help. I'll talk #### on WWE constantly but one thing they've gotten right lately is helping former talent if needing the help even if there is heat. WWE has seemed to take a different approach on this then they had years ago and its for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Servo Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Chris Youngblood passes away at age 55. He was the younger brother of Jay Youngblood and Mark Youngblood. Chris formed a team with his brother Mark Youngblood and they made many different stops around the territories. In 1987, they started wrestling for All Japan Pro Wrestling where they competed in the Real World Tag League. The two left that company, but later returned to work frequently from 1992 to 1996.
