    I know they had ads on WWE but assumed was just sponsorship.

    So Alexa's put all of her socials on private by the look of things, after some harassment on Instagram. Which leads to my random thought, does wrestling as a whole have a "STAN" problem?

    The fact that Alexa’s so-called “fans” seriously care that much about her relationship that they harass her enough to the point where she makes all her social media private is a shame. This is part of the reason why her account is private. People like this disgust me.

    I doubt it, whoever is doing it is just doing the usual anonymous d1ck thing and using his pic

    I'm assume this harasser is a serial rereggger. I'm not an expert on social but is there not a way to ban such Muppets permanently. Boards seem to be able to do it when they feel like it. ;)

    Or a person with too much time on their hands, who'd have thought a song Eminem released 20 years ago, that the title would really take on a life of it's own in the last decade, combined with social media blowing up to what it is nowadays.

    That's not really an answer? She's clearly being harassed so the question I asked remains; can Instagram permanently ban this idiot or is it up to Alexa to continually to fight him off Everytime he pops up?

    If your expecting Instagram to do something, you'll be waiting a long time. Best that can be done, is for her and those who aren't obsessive about her to keep reporting it. But that in itself is a thankless job, especially if multiple accounts are it.

    Randomly sticked on the royal rumble 2000 and watched the rumble match.
    A good few minutes into the match something dawned on me. Here's an image.

    15921045835398790719694558144674.jpg

    The people currently in the ring are Chyna, Chris Jericho, Test, Big Boss Man, Crash Holly, British Bulldog, Edge and Gangrel. Of the 8 in the ring 5 are dead. The only survivors are Gangrel, Edge and Chris Jericho.

    Everyone in the ring is aged between 24 and 37 on the night. With Test being the youngest at 24 and the Bulldog being the oldest at 37.

    If those who died were still alive today test would only be 45 and The Bulldog would be 59.

    Other wrestlers who took part who sadly have died are Grand Master Sexy Brian Christopher and Viscera. All combined that means out of all 30 entrants 23% of the entrants have deceased.

    Kinda messed up.

    Yeah I watched that Rumble about a month ago, mostly an enjoyable show but it felt grim knowing so many of them in that particular point Rumble had gone far too soon in that 20 years


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,968 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    That is grim but not as grim as some of the 1980s PPVs including survivor series where I think a majority of one match is dead. I mean the ric flair vs macho man match from wrestlemania 8. Between commentators, referee, competitors, outside people, only ric flair and earl hebner are still alive. Miss Elizabeth would be 59 id alive today and was only 31 at that event. It's the one thing I hope is a thing of the past for today's wrestlers.

    Ruby and Shotzi would make a cool looking tag team...

    Kofi Kingston bravely posted a black trans lives matter image on Instagram, and the comments are pretty terrible. Makes you realise just how much hatred and fear there still is towards transgender people.

    The new intercontinental title is one of the nicest titles in the industry (def wwe atleast) today and only gets flack cause of the classic look of the title

    I always mix up Ruby Riot and Sonya Deville.

    How ? One has green hair and one doesn't and while there's some similarity, there's no way to mix them up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,023 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    They both have double letters in their last name.
    Though until recently neither had been getting much screen time

    If the WWE were in an Attitude Era moment would they call MVP's stable Balling Like Montel....B.L.M.

    They probably have Lana been attacked by one of them

    That guy is a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

    There's and I wish this was a joke but it isn't, there's either a Twitter or Instagram account apparently dedicated to Becky and Seth's unborn child.

    I get being fans of wrestlers, but there's got to be a line drawn somewhere with such fandom. It's absolutely weird.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,198 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    I wonder have WWE canned the hacker storyline ??

    Ali (who is/was a strong contender) is apparently been moved from SD too Raw


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,836 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    Looks like it'll join Shane's lockbox and who pied Kevin Owens as the great mysteries


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,023 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I'd say they'll use it again when it's convenient. They might have planned on doing more with it, not expecting the pandemic to affect them for so long


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,836 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    Pre taped shows are surely the best way to be using a hacker gimmick though, thats when you can do the wacky and weird stuff in the ring that would come across poorly when done live


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,023 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I'd long forgotten about that Owens pie thing, but looking it up, it turns out it was Ambrose


    5:55 mark

    the AOP are also suddenly missing from action

    The whole thing with Austin Theory is a little odd. Is he that good that he can jump straight very quickly from NXT to the main roster
