    She has a bit of a point IMO, but I'm not defending her. Not two months ago was Triple H's wife tweeting about feminism and giving women a chance to succeed in the industry, and here he is worshipping a perrenial woman abuser.

    Still, Beadle is an ignorant headcase and you're dead right with that last line, a tremendous hypocrite.

    Speaking of Lana they could be worried if they use CJ with those pics of her floating around of her with that name

    Sure it all depends on how useful you are to WWE in the present time. They could see past that.

    Reporting on him being an abuser and his history of violence against women got her and another female reporter banned from MGM Grand last night.

    If she turns up at next years WM or HoF whatever journalistic credibility she wants to use in her reporting will be lost after that tweet to HHH imo.

    Christ. It wasn't a placeholder. Straight from the official account. They've actually given him a WWE 2K15 Create-A-Wrestler theme, but stuck 'allelujah' in their again anyway for some reason. Maybe so you know it's him and not "Paddy the Rebel".

    There's a Reddit rumour going around that Vince is going blind. Whether it is blind blind or he is just too stubborn to wear his glasses who knows. His peepers have to going he's 69 years old.

    From the Roman Reigns doc:

    I'd say it's Vince just being stubborn and refusing to wear his glasses, he's just goofing around with Brock in the Roman Reigns doc.

    He counter theory is that it was just super sunny. Brock is wearing shades for example.

    I just think he was recovering from his injections:

    Because in an age where the NFL is being sued for 100's millions of dollars due to repeated concussions and WWE have a very public tragedy in the recent past associated to them and concussions, having their new champ and a guy who has gotten mainstream publicity use a move where he stands on another persons head while driving it into the mat isnt wise from a publicity pov. Also its called the Curb Stomp and everyone knows the movie its associated with.

    It got taken off him a few weeks ago. Shame I really like the move but I can understand the reasons.

    Surely the time to take the move off him is before deciding he's going to use it to win the title at Wrestlemania. Its not like anything changed between then and now.

    I suppose going back to calling it Peace of Mind wouldn't have been good enough. Its a real shame cus he had gotten it over, looked excellent especially against Lesnar.

    What is he using as a finish now?

    This mess of a pedigree/DDT move. Completely ludicrous and an empty gesture to remove a move in a worked sport where the opponent's head is a foot off the mat and controls how he hits it.

    I hear they're going to go the route of Tag Rugby, grab three tags off your opponent and that counts as a pin. :P

    I couldnt care less. Sandow has enough talent to get over with his own character and he is capable of being so much more than a Macho Man imitation.

    Also Ive seen this before with Jay Lethal and its nothing new either. Sandow will be most likely saddled with this gimmick and it wont go anywhere. Any good work he did with The Miz will be undone in a few weeks.

    WWE creative really cant think of anything better for him

    Tbh, I utterly hate that after months and months, Sandow achieved zero progression, character wise, and is right back to where he began pre-Miz.

    I dunno,I'd usually agree that it'll go nowhere but Sandow's done brilliantly with everything he's been given,starting to think no matter what he's given he'll make it work,guy just knows how to make chicken salad.
