2016 Pro Wrestling Thread

I think like a lot of things, the research is still out on the long-term health effects. However, IIRC, it's an amphetamine and probably not good for guys to be ingesting who are at a high-risk to be hospitalized for other things. Also, per the never-wrong Wikipedia, it's possible to develop a tolerance, which again would be bad for the talent and might lead into murkier areas.

 

He'll be able to stay awake during a Roman Reigns promo.

 

Don't you mean an Authority promo?

 

Adam Rose deleted everything from his Twitter account in regards to his suspension, including the doctor's note. Wrestlezone claims that WWE will reverse his suspension and re-instate him soon.

If that's the case, good for Adam Rose. WWE screwed up in big fashion and they need to right that wrong.

 

Ironically, this tweet came out just hours before ...

 

I didn't even know most of those people were still under contract. No great loses, and I imagine Santino, Hornswoggle, El Torito and Zeb could be brought back on part-time deals if and when they want.

 

Bad day for midgets.

 

Cameron had just tweeted her support of Ryback a couple of days ago. Considering that she hadn't been doing much anyways, I can't imagine it was a difficult decision for the E.

The others weren't seen on TV that much anyways, and I'd imagine Zeb may still be helping behind the scenes. Riley was down at NXT, but not doing very much. Maybe they'll eventually bring him back as a broadcaster.

 

Sandow too. Bummer.

 

I was just going to say - Another message board said that Barrett and Sandow were among the cuts. However, it was known for months that Barrett wasn't going to seek a renewal on his contract, so I'm thinking him and Sandow might be more of a "mutual parting" thing vs. an outright release. Sandow seems like a guy who could benefit from another promotion, as he's a bit stale in WWE (or at least, the creative team's eyes).

 

Yeah it's too bad for Sandow but you almost hope he can make good in New Japan or ROH and then come back either to NXT to the main roster really hot like a Gallows or something along those lines

 

Hard to believe it wasn't even three years ago Sandow won the Money in the Bank match.
