Chelsea Green is saying one of the planned storylines for her was to be Mickie James's stalker reversing the role on Mickie from when she started with Trish.


That would have been awesome.

They’d started it kind of on Twitter with Chelsea doing a modern version of the Mickie and Trish storyline. It was interesting and funny in parts.

Yeah he’s been tipping away kind of under the radar but still getting things done.

Imagine that an undercard wrestler having an actual storyline....and a female one at that. Unfortunately for them as we know female rivalries only revolve around the title.

I think it's a Netflix production already but to be fair to her she's been writing comics and even has a run on Wonder Woman comic coming up. I think they're working on a TV pilot based on her book. No scrub by any means.

CastorTroy

Didn't realise she wrote comics. Looked it up and she co-wrote a comic based on the GLOW tv series along with Aimee Garcia (from Dexter and Lucifer) which also seems pretty random

Delighted. I hope Becky decides to have another kid too.

Accordingly Randy Orton is injured again from his match on Raw. Can anyone guess which body part?


.... 5 points for you if you said his shoulder. It must be pretty sensitive as he's had many issues with that.

For you, of all people, to comment on a woman’s looks...

LineOfBeauty

Low hanging fruit. Rovert's Twitter comments on this hit the nail squarely on the head if people were paying attention.

So what exactly is Charlotte "indefinitely suspended" for anyways?

Tiny clip from WOR, basically says that the suspension is a cover story for why she's off TV, that it's really for dental work. Then says in that company they want their female talent to look a certain way and that it's not right.

Anyone disputing that they demand that their talent look a certain way has mounds upon mounds of evidence to contend with.

beakerjoe

The company did and probably still do encourage weight loss and surgery. Thats also not to say the talent dont want it too.

They may want it, they may not, but irregardless when they make a "suggestion" if you don't comply you don't make main roster. It's such a part of that company that they've included it numerous times even in their own reality TV shows.

CastorTroy

Yeah because Charlotte's appearance has clearly held her back until now

Stealing a tweet here but Rhea calling her old on air should've set off foghorns for anyone in on "WWE-speak"

Agent Coulson

I'd say if Vince could have his way every female wrestler would...

Id say the pressure is huge on women to get work done in WWE and the entrainment industry as a whole. Actually women in general.

CastorTroy wrote: »

Shes had loads of work done and its fair to say that she would have felt as pressured as any talent in the early days of her career.

Yes, she has been given plenty of opportunities from WWE and but to say she hasnt felt pressured to get work done wouldn't be accurate.

Agent Coulson

She also might be getting her teeth done for the TV Series Hollywood loves straight bright white teeth.

Vince really is a weird guy!

The gas thing about that picture is that it screams an over the top entertaining gimmick but they couldn't be any more bland. It was so pointless to separate her and Otis for.....this.

CastorTroy

Must be really annoying for the women if they are led to believe looks are important then see Peyton is fired while Nia gets a lot of focus.

The White Wolf

To be fair to Nia she has good genes. She's quite the beauty.

Agent Coulson

Snoop Dogg said in an interview that the WWE got in touch with him after he appeared on AEW saying the were pausing the relationship they had with him.

He then say that lasted about two weeks till got in contact asking him to be involved in there new video game.
