    I get she's frustrated with creative, but she's showing herself to be very unprofessional.

    She'll be back soon by the sounds of things, probably just be phoning it in if she feels bad & sending out passive aggressive tweets.

    Sasha Banks, who was in the Northeast a few weeks ago for WWE, is filming content today for the forthcoming WWE 2K20 video game in Orlando, Florida.

    So, for everyone still asking about her standing with the company, that should tell you all you need to know.

    Jaysus, she tutted at you? What was the story there? Did she fcuk up your order and ya had to correct her?

    That scene in Intermission with the cashier that keeps tutting comes to mind when I read this post.

    Anyway, It's hard to say whether the EC3 thing is a work or not. I'd like to believe it is a work, but it might be a work for the wrong reasons. Like MVP's losing streak angle for example.

    Apparently he is losing in quick fashion to No Way Jose at house shows now so if it is a work, they are being very very thorough in knocking him down to build him back up.

    I don't see anything wrong to be honest the top one is cocky face who wants the fans on his side the bottom one is arrogant heel who can't be bothered with the fans or what they think.

    I always wondered if EC3 had heat from his first stint that he's been unable to recover from. He didn't exactly set NXT alight before he was called up.

    Then Shane Vs HHH in the main event of Wrestlemania next year for control of the company and the title.

    Evil heel authority has been done to death but there's something interesting about this one. Drew is on both shows with Shane and getting the exposure rather than being stuck in a mid card multi man feud, the Revival have gotten a bit of a push and are featuring more on TV doing stuff and not shaving each other.

    Maybe if it was with Shane in the background ala something like Mania 2000, again a McMahon or power figure in each corner has been before but at least the spotlight could be on different talent

    Imagine Drew representing Shane and an NXT guy like Balor or Gargano representing HHH, something like that I'd find interesting

    Shane vs HHH I'd only find interesting if both careers were on the line and it was a double loss

    The Shane Vs HHH was more a joke. It's the Shane McMahon, Drew, Revival group Im finding interesting. Whatever about a McMahon being all in the spotlight again, it's also giving Drew and the Revival big exposure being involved in storylines with Shane, Roman and probably Miz are last night.

    Yeah think there could be something interesting done with lads from NXT coming up to battle with HHH in their corner but I think the bigger exposure for the guys would be something like Drew Vs HHH and Gargano Vs Shane McMahon rather than Drew Vs Gargano if something like that were to happen.

    Shane needs to go away and take HHH with him.

    My prediction is that Cole and Corey won’t ever have to commentate on her matches to be honest. I don’t rate her really but she’s done well for herself.

    Agree with Pent. She's sound and all and tries hard but she's not that polished by any means. She's a good fit for OTT and the indies but I don't think the gimmick or style translates well outside.

    AEW, I'm guessing. They're a tier up in what they're allowed to get away with on TV. Think they're TV-14 while WWE is PG.

    20 years ago Vince would be on that like a rash though.

    Scarlett is decent in ring and most importantly willing. She has the scope to improve.

    She'll at least get an offer; her boyfriend Killer Kross probably won't be far behind either.
    Even though Impact has a strong women's division ahead is miles off their best workers but would work as a manager.
    Probably a good move from Impact as they seemed to complain about pay as Impact work a few days a month it ain't close to as high as it once was but I did get a laugh out of Ethan Page just saying that you can work those dates elsewhere. Eg they signed Laredo Kid to a few dates who is also teaming with the Lucha Bros at Fyter Fest.

    Lars Sullivan is out for 6-9 months with a pretty serious knee injury, according to Meltzer.

    Regardless of the old discriminatory quotes he was punished for recently, it sucks to see that happening to anyone.

    Big guys are susceptible to such injuries especially if they're sent out there before they're ready. Lars really is the personification of Vince's worst indulgences.

    Considering his push was going over as well as dogpoo in your shoes, from a creative and character pov it might not be the worst thing to have to do a reset with him in 6-9 months

    Sucks for the dude himself obviously, but might not be the worst thing long term

    What's the average yearly wage for a WWE wrestler these days?

    $500k?


    Well then it's a no brainer for these guys to sign a 5 year deal take the money and run and phone it in every night you are there what are they going to do fire you.

    If my boss offered me €500k a year to essentially show to work and do no work while they put over someone less qualified and experienced to me I would be so fn happy... all of the pay for none of the stress.

    It's definitely a no brainer for the likes of Mojo and Mike and Maria. They would probably struggle to get indie bookings and there's no guarantee that any of the other feds would offer them a deal at all.

    Bit of a shame because it's not like we're talking about woefully bad workers here. Some of these folks are fairly solid but WWE just made a complete hames of them and stopped putting them on TV regularly so they have zero chance of getting over even a little bit now.
