Weekly News Roundup (8/29 - 9/4) -- ADR gone, Goldberg, Rollins/HHH, more Bryan/Miz

[Balls Mahoney]

Hey once again thanks for these threads. They're some of the best reading on HF.

Please no Goldberg return. I don't think there's a single wrestler out there who annoys me more than he does. Such a mark for himself.

 

[Serac]

Yeah
These threads really great
Very good idea

 

[M.C.G. 31]

The "chairman" tag was just for show, Dixie Carter has quietly left TNA.

 

[TNT87]

Great idea with these weekly threads.

 

[Mitchy]

No!!! Don't punish my boy Bo!

If you guys thought Cena had a baseball in his elbow way back when he took on DB at summerslam, you might wanna take a look at Stone Cold's latest tweet about his elbow.

Or maybe not if you don't have a strong stomach.


I don't know if you wanna count this as "news" but some tool working at ESPN made fun of KO's austic son because he got emotional that his dad won the god damn WWE title (i refuse to call it universal title, **** that)

on the bright side, Coach (whos also at ESPN) called said tool bag out.

EDIT - Didn't see it was briefly covered on the last page. Still warrants a second post IMO. What a dbag.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Austin's elbow is just the elbow trying to get Austin a second face.

The photoshops on Twitter were great, but that was disgusting lol.

I never heard of the guy until this, so the dude accomplished what he set out to do. I wish he didn't say it but I wish even more that I didn't know his name.

Actually rn I forget it

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

How did Austin hurt his elbow?

 

[AfroThunder396]

Some guy on Twitter who claims to be an MMA insider says that Punk and Cabana aren't friends anymore. Apparently Cabana was backstage at Raw hanging out with the boys and taking pictures, and Punk somehow thinks that's going to hurt him in the lawsuit Dr. Amann filed against them.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Some more Paige and Del Rio drama.

Saint Laurent talked with Kevin Sullivan on their podcast about how WWE, and specifically Mark Carrano was harassing both of them to end the relationship, and that they were spilt at the draft 100% to keep them apart due to their relationship.

They also threatened to fire Paige if she didn't break up with him.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

This company.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

WWE offered a full-time deal to Mike Knox to return. He declined.

 

[Kimi]

WWE offered a full-time deal to Mike Knox to return. He declined.

Because his body can't handle a full time schedule anymore, but he would be open to a part time deal.

 

[GKJ]

They tried the same thing with Rusev and Lana except for the whole thing didn't actually work and it got them over instead.

 

[Virtanen18]

Well if the stuff about ADR being a bad influence is true, I kinda get it. Especially considering he was not renewing.

 

[Cor]

Mike Knox?

Why?

How about raising offers instead of lowering standards

 

[Kimi]

They're not trying to hire top talent, they've enough of that. They just want bodies that they can beat on TV.

 

[Cor]

They need legit depth. They have enough jobbers.

Beating Mike Knox means nothing.


There is a difference between "Top Talent" and Mike Knox

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I can just imagine Vince salivating over Braun Strowman vs. Mike Knox.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Per the Sam Roberts podcast, Vince McMahon is completely unaware of Luke Gallows previously being Festus.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I've speculated about that actually

Gallows always freaks out in podcasts when someone says Festus and tells them that they shouldn't use that name, and calls him "Drooling Man" instead. Much like how he always refers to "that company on Pop TV".

while this seems extreme, perhaps there were things going on, and rumors going around that some things that shouldn't be happening, were. I've heard of ADR linked to a few of the women there, perhaps he was getting a bad reputation, I don't know.

Relationships happen within the company all the time, for them to be so against it, to me suggests there were some things going on

 

[Emperoreddy]

It doesn't really matter. A company can't threaten to fire someone if they don't end a relationship
