All-Purpose News Thread Part II

[Unholy Diver]

Shows you how much they care about the tag titles, which is part of the reason Banks was pissed off to begin with wasnt it?

It’s fine if you wanna keep Banks and Naomi off tv and stay quiet on their situation. But you can’t ignore the tag division entirely if you expect it to mean anything. At least run a contenders tournament. If you need to crown a champion at the end of it then just work it in last minute and have the finals on ppv and announce the smackdown before that it’s for the title

The wwe website shows the womens tag belts as vacant, so I don't see them smoothing things over with Sasha & Naomi and just giving them back, especially after the burials on tv

Given the nature of money in the bank it's also possible they just decided not to deal with it until later with so many women having to be booked for the show.

Social media influencer Logan Paul has signed a deal with WWE, the organization announced on Thursday.

The pact is a multi-event deal, sources told ESPN, that will push into 2023. Paul will compete in the ring at multiple WWE premium live events (formerly called pay-per-views by the company) and will make TV appearances in between based on storylines.

Paul appeared at WrestleMania 37 in April 2021 alongside WWE superstar Sami Zayn before he made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38 this year in a tag-team match with The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio and his son, Dominik Mysterio.

The Miz and Paul were victorious, and afterward, The Miz turned on Paul. On Monday's edition of Raw, The Miz called out Paul, seemingly setting the stage for a singles match at SummerSlam later this month in Nashville.

I haven’t been this excited since Milli Vanilli’s second album.

'but why' he is a big time social media influencer who draws reactions, even if it's not the ones they want. To WWE,, he is a mainstream celebrity.

I’m not surprised by the Logan Paul news. He’s athletic enough, and handled himself VERY well in the ring. Hopefully the contract is just to keep him exclusive to wwe, and we only see him sparingly. I’m thinking the big events only

 

[Sheppy]

Imagine if they created new stars though.

 

[GKJ]

Imagine if they created new stars though.

They don’t want to make their own stars. They want to make their own characters and let the stars make themselves and talk about how great they are. What they don’t want is their own talent getting too big and want to do other stuff.

 

[Megahab]

I'm not a fan of the guy but Logan Paul put on one of the better celebrity performances in WWE history.

 

[Jussi]

I'm not a fan of the guy but Logan Paul put on one of the better celebrity performances in WWE history.

Yeah, I know nothing about him except that he's some sort of internet celebrity but he looked the part and acted the part in the ring.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Buff Bagwell's twitter account that was saying all the stuff IWC loved wasn't Buff. It was his social media manager just giving his own opinions.

 

[Sheppy]

Why are they so weird? Jesus.

 

[Grackle Party]

KO on the NHL.com draft stream right now!

 

[Sheppy]

I wish people would show the same energy to this as they did to TK earlier this year. “AeW hAtEs bLaCk pEoPLe”

 

[GKJ]

Well, they did have 2 of them split

 

[Jussi]

Well, they did have 2 of them split

Yeah, that kind of has an impact.

 

[Sheppy]

Yeah, that kind of has an impact.

Ah there you are.

The idea of AEW not pushing black people would be valid if you could tell me who is a black person being held back that should be in a higher position.

AEW has regularly pushed a male to female trans athlete. One time women’s champ, even. It’s disingenuous to say shit about inclusivity about AEW, but who really gives a crap about the opinions of people who bow to and cheer on a 90 year old rapist?

I’m just glad AEW is there to sign some of the black talent WWE has unceremoniously dumped to the curb. Imagine having Swerve and releasing him?

Love seeing black excellence in WWE today with *checks notes* Bobby Lashley holding a completely meaningless belt for the umpteenth time. How’s Sasha and Naomi again? How their run going, I haven’t been paying attention?

Got taken off the internal roster the other day

Fans of remorseless aggression.

For those unsure of what is on her chest, it would appear to be a heart monitor.

This picture literally contains the entire active SD women's roster (all 11 members) which is what it's intention is. It wasn't meant to include Raw or NXT competitors because this graphic has nothing to do with those brands.

Took me all of 30 seconds on Google to find out who the SD women's roster is right now.

They did have two women performers of African heritage. But they both abruptly quit.

Can these Twitter crybabies do a little research before they jump on their Twitter handles and try to make a issue out of nothing.
