How to know Ryback is full of shit: he claims Vince McMahon thought he was fat and that's why he put Ryback in a singlet.

What the f***. How is body guy Vince going to think Ryback is fat?

It's been a few days, but man am I still mad over Emma being let go.

It's been a few days, but man am I still mad over Emma being let go.

Speaking of which, she had heat with the creative team which did her no favours. The decision to release her (and Young and Summer) came from a budget meeting by Vince on Sunday, and while the door is still open, some consider it "addition by subtraction" in regards to letting Emma go. Those people are incredibly stupid.

The idea is also to build Kane up to a monster showdown with Strowman, Strowman winning and being the new big monster on Raw, and eventually, The Shield and Finn Balor will also get their comeuppance on Kane by the end of this run.

According to PWI, James Storm’s contract with TNA ends in January of 2018, however it’s possible Storm leaves sooner. TNA’s next tapings that cover the next few months is coming up shortly, so it’s possible we’ll know soon.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Uhhh Braun doesn't need to go over Kane to be the new Raw monster. It's amazing they even think that.

 

[Emperoreddy]

That was SI again so not sure how much of their stuff I buy.

Wouldn’t be surprising Emma had backstage heat with how Emmalina went down on top of her going on twitter to complain.

Him leaving NXT was a mistake. Absolute clown show.

 

[The Gongshow]

Shame we never got Beer Money in WWE

His bank account says differently.

 

[SeidoN]

not rly news but

 

[dahrougem2]

Emma having heat isn't surprising. Complaining on Twitter + failing with the Emmalina gimmick is cause for creative to turn their back on you.

I wish they'd do the same to Nia Jax, but I don't see that happening.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

His bank account says differently.

In the short run yes. But how long will that company exist?

It was an NXT only offer, there was no long run on either side.

 

[SeidoN]

Brandi Rhodes will appear on WAGS Atlanta

(announced a while agi but I just saw it on Twitter and its funny)

 

[Disclose]

rockstar spud apparently gone from TNA.... cuz they forgot to fill the papers for his visa. loll

(SI reported it... )

Sawyer Fulton has been released from NXT.

He's another that had an injury and returned to nothing.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Apparently WWE may be doing an eventual double turn for Rusev and Tye Dillinger, turning Rusev face and Dillinger heel, per Meltzer. WWE's been running some Rusev/Dillinger matches at live events and structuring the matches to eventually get the fans to cheer for Rusev and boo Dillinger. While there were still 10 chants, they were more akin to the "what?" chants and when Rusev made Dillinger tap out to the Accolade, the fans were on Rusev's side and popped.

in this instance idgaf about Dillinger, give me BABYFACE RUSEV HE'S GOING TO BE THE GOAT BABYFACE.

But NXT only offers can sometimes turn into more. Joe was brought in on an NXT only offer.

Can confirm. I went to the house show at PNC Arena on Monday night and Rusev was definitely cheered as the face in that match and Tye treated like the heel.

'Can sometimes' is very different from 'will'. Especially when you 39 and have a far big offer from another company that will also give you more time with your family with significantly less travel.

damn poor Brad Maddox lmfao

there were more leaks and one is a text exchange where Brad goes off on Paige cause Seth stopped by her room her first day back on the road back when they were dating and he wasn't there (I think that's the context I'm getting from these)

 

[Paris in Flames]

Paige....err....really interacted with a lot of the roster.

Though I wonder about the legitimacy of the text conversation. Maddox is called by his real name (Tyler) but Seth and Woods are both referred to by character name which seems...weird.

But yeah. Brad was mad af. She stopped responding and he was all "ohhhhhhh great I guess Seth stopped by!"

Paige and Seth as a couple makes a lot of sense tbh. Same music. Same...swinging lifestyle.

It's also really unfortunate timing for Paige who was seemingly on the verge of coming back.

 

[ColePens]

Paige is... very disgusting to say the least.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Wait she was with more than just Seth, Xavier and Brad? Lol, I only saw like two pics of the messages.
