All-Purpose News Thread Part II

[CaptainCrunch67]

She was well on her way before she went to jail the last time which forced her to dry out. She has series addiction and dependency issues and She just comes across as a poor human being.

I don't think predicting that she's going to drink herself to death is some horrible thing. I didn't say I hoped that she would drink herself to death.

This is a person that clearly has massive mental health issues, but at the same time, she's a almost willing participant in the train wreck. Going to jail for a decade might be the only thing that saves her life at this point.

 

[Sheppy]

I agree with all that but I just don't think that comment predicting she'll drink herself to death was appropriate.

He's not wrong, though.

Some grim news from Jim Duggan.

from f4wonline.com:

Hacksaw Jim Duggan is currently battling cancer again.

Duggan on Instagram uploaded a message saying that despite the removal of his prostate last year, his cancer has returned.

“It seems that my cancer treatment is not over even after the removal of my prostate last October,” he said. “And tomorrow, I am getting my second hormone shot and Tuesday I am being set up for radiation treatment, which will be eight weeks, five days a week.”

Duggan said he was optimistic about recovery, though he may have to cancel dates set up in the future as a result of radiation treatment.

“The doctors are very optimistic that they caught it early,” he said. “It’s a terrifying time for me and my family. But the doctors also said to go ahead and live life, which we’re going to do.”

In October, Duggan announced that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and by December, had announced he was cancer free. Duggan additionally fought kidney cancer during his time in WCW in the late 90s.

True. I just feel for her family and friends at least.

My comment came off dickish though. Sorry @CaptainCrunch67

Vince will Fredo his entire family out of WWE.

An update of the Tammy Sytch story.


from Friday's pwinsider.com:

As noted earlier on PWInsider.com, WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Sytch was arrested this evening in Florida in relation to the 3/25 traffic fatality in Ormond Beach, Florida. Sytch is currently being processed into Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach.

She is currently being charged with nine charges, including DUI causing the death of a person aka DUI Manslaughter, Driving with a suspended or revoked license (causing death or serious injury) and seven counts of DUI causing damage to a person or property.

The DUI Manslaughter charge is the most serious, as it is considered a felony in Florida and if she is convicted, Sytch could face up to 30 years in prison, with a four year mininum sentence as well as up to $10,000 in fines. Sytch's bond for that charge alone is listed at $200,000. The bonds for her other charges total an additional $27,500.

Sytch's mugshot from her arrest tonight:




The Ormond Beach Police Department has not yet commented on Sytch's arrest. They had been waiting for complete toxicology results to come in after securing a warrant for a blood sample while Sytch was hospitalized in the wake of the 3/25 traffic fatality.

I remember in a shoot probably 10-12 years ago she was talking shit about how Shawn aged horribly… Oof.

Incoming lawsuit or scandals to WWE. That’s how the corporate world works right?

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Not sure if WWE's working or if Sasha is just, once again, being a prima donna.

 

[Emperoreddy]

It's entirely possible that after her husband nearly died she is rightly taking a step back to reassess priorities.

Not everything has to be a dirty conspiracy.

Once again what? When has she done that? The last Mania story has long been proven to be false.

Walking about because you’re a tag champ refusing to put over the main champ is laughable.

Walking out for being strung along for an entire year is more accurate.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

I mean if we want to argue bad booking, pretty much everybody but Roman can walk out.

The fact that the straw that broke the camel's back is them not prioritizing the tag champs over the actual champs is what's funny.

They want to be prioritized as tag champs. Not over singles champs. Are the men’s tag champs not prioritized? Do they have actual men’s tag divisions? Did the men’s tag champs have to put over Roman? Not until they dropped them.

... Dude, Roman just pinned Riddle last week on PPV.

Trios match without stakes is not the same. And yes, everyone gets sacrificed for Roman right now, this is true, but it’s also not how they operate traditionally.

Everyone is going to get sacrificed for Ronda too, no matter how ridiculous her mean face looks.

 

[GKJ]

And if you’re a tag champ, that shouldn’t happen. You shouldn’t be booked against her. At least not without a story, this was a shotgunning, and it’s the second time they were doing it with Sasha and Ronda. They also don’t know how to book people strong in doing the job. Bianca, even if she is over, is not Ronda-level. A tag champion should not have to put her over in any scenario right now, and no one should to any without a build.

They do sacrifice Riddle often, but it’s also done for a reason, to protect Orton, because usually the thing to do is have the champ(s) lose to set up the title match, or beat someone else who is booked strong. If you want to do things for reasons, then fine. This was just doing it to do it because they didn’t have anyone booked, and they were going to get nothing out of it, as the champs, since there’s no women’s tag division. It’s still a stupid thing to do.

And look at what they’re doing with Roman, of course he is strong, and is great, but you know who you don’t have? Anyone built to beat him. The only 2 guys are Drew and Cody, one of which was built because he did it in another company. The other has actually already lost to him and isn’t as over as he was a year and a half ago.

You're talking about a much bigger issue which is Vince's inability to create stars. Which is something I've been talking about for at least something like 5 years. (Not taking credit... Lots of people have)

Look at the guys he's credited with:

Steve Austin - Vince's idea was The Ringmaster. They were chopping his promos up until he told them to stop, at which point he finally got over.

The Rock - Vince's idea was the kitten play haircut smiling babyface. Didn't get over until he went heel and became The Rock.

Cena - Was literally on the verge of getting fired and was told to stop doing what he was doing, until it got so over that they went with it.

Hogan - His character was created under Verne Gagne, Vince just poached him and plugged him into the WWE system.

Roman - Floundered for years and was fed garbage promos like sufferin succotash. Didn't get over until he went heel, was allowed to work on his own, and probably had some help from Heyman.

Becky - Got the most over when they tried to turn her into a sore loser heel. Got even more over when she bled by accident, which they still censored the shit out of when promoting it.

Arguably the only generational star you can credit Vince with is The Undertaker. And even that would've been another shitty gimmick if not for the perfect talent being given it.
