Weekly News Roundup (8/22 - 8/28) -- Randy/Brock news, ADR, Styles, Charlotte heat

[GKJ]

Nobody who is full time does anymore. Punk was the last one, and as we've seen, he chose to walk away than keep fighting what he saw was a losing battle. It's just not the culture in the PG Era.

They definitely want at least those three (Sasha, Bayley, Charlotte) to be top stars for the company, not just good wrestlers who are light years better than what they had in the division 5-10 years ago. Just have to hope that Hunter has enough pull when it comes to the women to know what's best for them, because we've seen what they've done with Paige.

No one will really stand up for themselves and go against "the machine" backstage like Punk did because Triple H isn't hiring guys like that. He said once in an interview that it's not just about their talent, but their "attitude". He was pretty vague. They don't like guys like that these days. Punk was the last one to do it and he said no one else in the locker room, not even Dean or Seth of the new guys (when he did the podcast) would stand up for themselves. Maybe Cena and Randy, but that's about it.

They just flat out don't like guys like that and probably will shy away from hiring them if they even get a hint of them having an attitude where they want to fight for stuff, stand up, etc.

Hell with the way the Summerslam match even Randy goes with the machine.

 

[GKJ]

Randy probably has mailed it in in that regard. He's accomplished all he's going to at an age where guys are just now getting in and/or over.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Randy just wants to work with young guys and have good matches at this point. He doesn't care about the titles.

Orton is 15 months older than Balor is, lol. I think people take for granted how young Orton started.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Orton is 15 months older than Balor is, lol. I think people take for granted how young Orton started.

it's crazy. He had accomplished everything there was to accomplish by 30 I believe.

Royal rumble, world titles, IC title, tag titles, WM main event... There's nothing left for him to do. He even knows it. He doesn't care about titles anymore he wants to put on good performances and have matches with the younger, newer guys like Balor, Owens, Zayn, Wyatt, Styles (newer, not younger), etc.

It's awesome and hopefully means we see a passionate and fired up Randy when he works with these guys.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

We're getting a second Final Deletion.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

We're getting a second Final Deletion.

To whom!?!?!

 

[Kimi]

Orton is 15 months older than Balor is, lol. I think people take for granted how young Orton started.

But he's way over a decade older in TV years, and they're the important factor with his career.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Wait, does that mean the first deletion wasn't final? Because clearly if we're getting another one then it wasn't final.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Wait, does that mean the first deletion wasn't final? Because clearly if we're getting another one then it wasn't final.

I initially thought that but then realized that other people could be deleted too.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Wait, does that mean the first deletion wasn't final? Because clearly if we're getting another one then it wasn't final.

Abyss and Crazzy Steve are to be deleted next.

It is an exquisite sequel!

Now, the source is Forbes, but they are sourcing a "person with insider knowledge".

Apparently the WWE isn't 100% against a Daniel Bryan ring return. They said while WWE doctors have not cleared him, some private doctors have. They go on to say that we could continue to see wrestlers shoot Bryan for quitting and walking away, and if that's the case, it could eventually lead to a Daniel Bryan return, even in a one-off.

They do state that it is still unlikely to happen.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Haven't we been doing this "WWE doctors won't clear him but other have" bit for like...years now?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I feel like I have to say it all the time and people still post things from Forbes - it's not legit, anyone can post anything there. Forbes is garbage lol.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Ya I read that and decided it wasn't worth posting because it is some dude on Forbes with no insider track record

 

[Paris in Flames]

This is too amazing to NOT post and hell...I don't even know what brand he's on..BUT this is the greatest news of the year.

Late Shift host Steven Bell posted on Twitter that former NXT Champion Bo Dallas was booted from WWE's flight from the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to Mexico for being intoxicated. Bell said that he heard Dallas "very loudly singing the Lion King song" in the background while he spoke to his wife, in a situation you really can't make up.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Oh Bo.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

That's OP worthy.
