He's getting $60k supposedly for this event, when money's that easy why not set up the next couple of generations for your family

J. Marston · 15-02-2019 8:54pm

$150 for a photo with him too.

Yes but Taker has been earning big money for 3 decades at this stage. He's an older experienced guy and has been involved in the Real Estate business for yrs. Big level stuff too, High Rise Apartments, Office blocks etc.

I just don't see somebody like him ever struggling unless he suffers some sort of catastrophic financial failure.

Trump went bankrupt many times with his empires and a couple of times personally.

It's easy to lose your shirt playing with property.

Well Trump isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed to be honest. I'd like to think Taker would be wiser with whatever money he's made over the course of his career.

Just look at this country 20 years and see all the lads that invested in property that ended up getting badly stung.

The property market at anytime can send people belly up.

Fair play to Taker if he can get people to pay that much money for a picture and autograph but that price won't last long if he is now just shilling himself for the dollar so he might as well get when he can.

TimesArrow · 15-02-2019 11:31pm

I really don't understand how they can get away with charging that price for a photo and who in their right mind would pay that much for a picture... in fact me, the idea of paying for a picture at all isn't appealing

But look where Trump is now.

A real man will aways get back on the horse and try gain.

Taker is like this, an Alpha male, he led the WWE locker room for years.

Men who have that drive, charisma and determination will always wind up on top.

Lads how can anyone know how good Taker is or isn’t with money? Come on...

whats 60k for a fella with his millions supposedly.

Wouldnt be surprised if he needs the money, hes probably well off but highly geared, lots of out goings, ex wife, current wife to cater for etc..

Riddle101 · 16-02-2019 7:03pm

It's silly to be speculating about the Undertaker's finances. How can anyone know the truth to that unless they were a close friend or a family member.

I'd say he's loaded since the dead f*cker never sold a thing in his life.

Corey Graves wife seems to be having s bit of a meltdown st the moment, and has said he’s sleeping with Carmella.

J. Marston · 17-02-2019 12:05am

Just saw that on Reddit. Instagram post on it...

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9aLLDnWts/

Why bring this type of thing on to social media? Dirt from Graves though (and Carmella, she's no better if this all true).

sky88 · 17-02-2019 12:06am

The next picture also shows some fairly depressing texts from graves

Agent Coulson · 17-02-2019 12:18am

Let’s see how the WWE respond the guy is obviously suffering and needs help.

How much down time off do the employees of the WWE actually get in a 52 week year.

Take Michael Cole how many Monday Night RAW’s has he actually missed in the last two decades since he started.

When was the last time he actually had a two week holiday off away from the WWE.

Yes they get well compensated financially but is their mental health needs lookeing after as well by giving them time off to de stress and relax.

J. Marston · 17-02-2019 12:26am

So WWE will sue her for him fúcking behind her back? Bold strategy, Graves, lets see how it pays off...

Somehow I can't see Michael Cole losing the run of himself & riding women unknownst to his wife.
He does commentary so I doubt he's any busier than any on screen talent who are doing house shows & working matches.

IF WWE's lawyers have any sense between them, they'll **** him out of it, and tell him to fight his own battles.

SureYWouldntYa · 17-02-2019 12:34am

I hate how things have just gone south for him the last while

When he first started commentated on NXT, and on the main roster, he was damn good and he could have been the voice of a generation, the fact he was on SD and Raw shows how highly thought of he was

That's got to burn you out froma travel perspective

Pentecost · 17-02-2019 12:45am

As someone said those texts are depressing he doesn’t seem in a good place. Affairs probably happen all the time when they’re all on the road together for so much of the year but it’s sadder when there are kids involved.

Compared to the full time guys would it really? There's obviously a good bit of prep involved and Graves is usually very clued in to what's happening

He doesn't do the live events like the wrestling talent would be, so his travel wouldn't be extreme compared to the guys wrestling 4/5 nights a week and how taxing that is on the body too, he's on the road 3 days a week at most surely

I can't attest to the veracity of his statement, but Meltzer mentioned that he is not as well off as one would think and he had some bad investments. I would assume that is second or third hand knowledge, but equally it would not surprise me if there were at least ***something*** in that given how he's totally dropped the protection of the character and is doing these tours now.

Monokne · 17-02-2019 1:21am

On the Graves stuff, I believe he had substance issues in his past and obviously he had to retire owing to head injuries. Suspect he could use some down time. I know he has been a c*nt on social media, but people respond differently to extreme pressures. Guy may need legitimate help.

The White Wolf · 17-02-2019 8:47am

Threatening her with being sued is pretty lowest of the low given what he has allegedly done.

Mental health struggles are not an excuse for being a POS. I think a lot of people in the same boat would agree.

Itssoeasy · 17-02-2019 12:22pm

I didn't know why Carmella is trending on twitter this morning but I do now. As other have said some of his tweets recently have been a bit strange, but if this is true and his wife must have been fairly sure it is to post it online, then both Carmella and Corey graves are as bad as each other. I know this stuff has happened in wrestling for decades but it's still not okay. So the Carmella and Naomi pod in the chamber will still open yeah ?

Monokne · 17-02-2019 5:16pm

I don't think the company tends to get heavily involved when it comes to personal relationships. When news of Bray Wyatt's split with his wife owing to his affair with Jojo broke, I don't remember there being any consequences. My take is that it's a deplorable thing for a married man with kids to do, but I don't think it should affect either of them professionally unless it impacts on their behaviour /performance at work.

The White Wolf · 17-02-2019 5:20pm

I wouldn't expect the company to get involved TBH because it's one of those things where they can't cast stones.

I agree. All WWE cares about is if it affects their business and these situations don't normally do that. Carmella isn't innocent here though as she had to have known Corey was married, but it may become uncomfortable depending on how their coworkers take it if they weren't already aware of it. Outside of that it's up to them to deal with the consequences of their actions.

nazmoalex · 17-02-2019 5:44pm

You've made a grave mistake Corey! Wtf moment for sure. Seen it mentioned somewhere they may have been separated for a couple of months. Whether the relationship with Carmella started before or after that only they know. Sharing messages where he was talking about being suicidal is low by any means.
It's messed up situation, but is the internet really the best place to air it all out? Probably not.

Yeah look reality is that there's always more to these things and they probably have been separated for a long time.

But it's a scum move to send the woman a message about she's going to be sued by the machine behind him.

This video has emerged online recently in which an outlaw promotion which included the poffo family in a war in the tennessee wrestling war. It was recorded in 1979 so forty years ago and was never released but imagine if they had ?

sky88 · 20-02-2019 10:22am

Tye requesting his release best thing for both i feel.

he had a gimmick that ran its course but a solid lower tier guy

also happens to be close friends with cody so im sure that wont gurt

ThePott · 20-02-2019 11:50am

It's a shame but not a total surprise. The guy was never gonna be at the top of the card and with so many people on the roster that are younger and that the company are more interested in it makes sense.

I really liked Tye though

. There was a brief moment where he was basically keeping NXT going and was the hottest thing there. He was always fun and did well in the small roles he got.

Side note- first live wrestling show I ever went to was an NXT live show in Florida. Had no idea who Tye was at that point but he was one of the most entertaining parts of the show. He would come out after matches with numbered placards with low scoring numbers, judging the previous matches. Then durings his own match he had a massive card with the number 10 which his opponent (a very green Braun Strowman) knocked out of his hand, only for Tye to whip a smaller number 10 card from his trunks. One of the biggest pops of the night

Interesting to see where he goes after this, best of luck to him.

sky88 · 20-02-2019 1:15pm

love that vince just decides out of the blue to call everyone up probaley destroying trips plans for takeover at mania. will be an interesting NXt tapings tonight if any of that is true of course

ERG89 · 20-02-2019 1:26pm

at some point last week, Vince decided for whatever reason that they he wanted a lot more great wrestlers on Raw

I think he's right there. The likes of Corbin, Lashley, McIntyre, Strowman, Jinder, or a returning Wyatt aren't going to keep people tuning in every week.
Reigns, Owens, Zayn and Rollins are all out at the minute so that's most of your good workers who are some way over.

J. Marston · 20-02-2019 1:55pm

I remember thinking Tye was young-ish and an up and comer but he has been around for ages. Only realised recently enough that he was Gavin Spears back in WWECW.

Necro · 20-02-2019 2:03pm

Heh, I think I might be the only one who didn't like the whole '10' gimmick. Just seemed really limiting, there's only so many things you can do with a numbered gimmick ala 3 Minute Warning.

cian68 · 20-02-2019 2:07pm

The second time he was number 10 in the rumble was the laziest thing ever but yeah also showed what a nothing gimmick it was

Monokne · 20-02-2019 7:46pm

I wonder if Dillinger is making this public to pressure them to give him his release. Curious otherwise. I would not assume it's guaranteed they will let him go. Mike & Maria and the Revival were turned down.

Agent Coulson · 20-02-2019 9:58pm

Tye will win The US title next week after The Revival won the tag belts last week.

Actually who is the US title holder these days.

Itssoeasy · 20-02-2019 10:08pm

Yes tye Dillinger has been used badly with WWE and I can see why he'd want out, but he's engaged to peyton Royce so my sympathy can only go so far really.

65 and still full creative control. Have to laugh.
