2020 Pro Wrestling Thread

If the claims against Riddle had validity, I think he would've been edited out, since Smackdown was taped. He also put out a statement via a lawyer denying it.

 

I don’t know. I woke up to the Cornette allegations, spent my day doing other stuff, and came back to find this explosion.

 

This seems to be just how these things work — one person makes an allegation about someone, another person says they also have a bad experience about that someone and suddenly the dam bursts.

 

Man, what a bummer that the last episode of The Last Ride was tonight. That was a fuckin' amazing series, especially all the emotion surrounding the finale.

 

Yeah, I watched it this afternoon. Sure seems like Taker is done, although he also seems to have left the door a little ajar.

 

Sammy Guevara is deep in the shit.

it’ll be interesting to see what if any differences there are in how these things are handled between the E and aew

 

Yeah, he's trending ... and not in a good way.

I'd also want to see how the E would handle things if it was one of their major stars, as opposed to a preliminary or mid-card performer.

 

i have very mixed feelings. Indy rasslin is a traveling carnival and rock concert type atmosphere. Wild shit is to be expected. Crime and assault is not and is never OK.

sammy acting like a moron and making awful jokes....bad look bad taste, but not Enzo?

but when your company bans Hulk Hogan for PR purposes do they cede the moral high ground? I dont know the right answer.

I guess if I had to decide i’d say case by case. Sammys not the same as Jimmy Havocs not the same as Joey Ryans not the same as Enzo etc.

 

They’ve suspended him without pay until he completes sensitivity training with salary donated to jacksonville womens center.

 

Killer promo by Edge.

"Make you wish Cowboy Bob was firing blanks that night you were conceived."

 

Oh, fucking hell. Lana is managing Natalya now?

 

But will it be addressed on TV?
