I have no sympathy with anyone that fails a wellness test why do these wrestlers keep doing it? I don't mean to jump to conclusions but Paige and ADR are a pair of idiots that deserve each other.

Seriously backstage heat on Dean Ambrose for the Stone Cold pod. All he did was tell the truth because Brock is a lazy bastard.

WWE should stop sticking up for Lesnar.Like he got busted for drug use in UFC and they let him get away with it. Hes not like ******* gods gift to wrestling you know. Hes always been overratted. Nobody else would have gotten away with Holding the heavyweight title and not defending it for 4 months.

WWE 2K17 - Backstage Brawl Gameplay Montage.

It looks kind of dull tbh. They could of showcased it a bit better/chosen better gameplay plus the graphics are really poor too.

I am sure you are aware from working that in most companies office politics are part of everyday working life.

Ambrose has been around for long enough that saying this sort of thing could cause issues yet he still said them.

The 'heat' will amount to nothing. His booking in the last two months has been the best of his singles run in terms of actually pushing him as a top act. He's the WWE champ, he's quite over and with the brands split he's basically guaranteed to have a top spot on Smackdown.

Saying that, promoting these Austin interviews as behind the scenes shoots then not wanting anyone to say anything of note is typical WWE stupidity and double speak.

The graphics are so so bad. No where near the level that most games are at now that are on the PS4/Xbone.

Also it seems the refs are yet again doing the world's slowest 3 pin count

Hearing sites on Twitter reporting that WWE are about to announce that Eva Marie is being suspended for a wellness violation.

I really hope this is an angle.

Lord please make this happen

Here it is:

Jesus is Eva Marie ever gonna wrestle?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GwjfUFyY6M

They should still have her entrance at SS but have the announcer say that she won't be wrestling due to failing a wellness test or something.

Also what did she test positive for? Traces of talent?

Haha, I wish they would do cheesy videos every week she's away where she says how much she misses performing for all her fans etc. I love her gimmick!

Eva Marie will have to do even more sucking......up..ahem..when she gets back to keep on the main roster

Rumours are James Storm as quit TNA and wants to go back to WWE/NXT.

Pretty sure he said he wanted a Mania moment within a month of going back to TNA. But most reports I'm reading say it's storyline and he'll stay with TNA.

Well the Podcasts are supposed to be truthful.

Of course they are and the Undertaker is really from Death Valley

They are no different then any other programming on the network and as such of course are going to be subject to the same standards.

You do something that is not in line with the brand or how the management wants parts of the brand to be perceived then you run the risk of upsetting the management.

Its called real life


.

Agreed

There is a point to be made about WWE's weird limbo mode between kayfabe and non-kayfabe though. They kinda try to operate between both and it's just taken as read by fans, or at least they're supposed to,

Of course but there still has to be a degree of common sense. Something like his comments clearly when Lesner is currently getting a certain type of publicity are not going to be looked upon in a good light. Fan's know what the politics of the WWE are like, Someone who works there and has done for quite a while and in a quite high position should be even more aware of what is sensible and not sensible to say.

He is either stupid,Naive or did not think before he spoke I don't think for a second he is stupid or naive and speaking without thinking in any company can lead to issues more so when its in public and more so when we have seen how it the company has operated in the past.

He could have got his point across in a very different way as with regards to Lesner but chose to go down this one,

We'll see if there's any real heat on him if he drops the title on Sunday.

I was always led to believe he lives in Houston, Texas.

Vince McMahon is as much to blame as anybody considering he was the one who went out to expose the business for what it is.

The podcasts should be honest, if they're not honest then just don't bother doing them. They already censor swear words on the Network despite having the cheek to charge people £10 to watch it, if they're gonna BS their own customers on that podcast then they might aswell just let Steve go back to Podcast One only.


It's the year 2016, no one honestly believes wrestling is real, it's insane to even think that nor should anyone be insulted when kayfabe is broken, the podcast SHOULD be an honest conversation between two people.

Casual fans do not buy the Network every month. Only die hard fans will pay £10 every month for the Network so when your audience is die hard fans, they already know how wrestling works, they Brock is getting paid a lot of money to do nothing, the casual fan doesn't care, casual fans watch the interesting parts of Raw days later, casual fans aren't paying any money for wrestling every month, they just treat wrestling as any other TV show, just part of their cable or satelite package. The people buying that Network wont be shocked about anything he says because they will expect it.

Who is or who is not to blame is not really relevant.

Office politics exists in many companies, the podcasts being real or not is not really that important. You still have to work within the culture of the company
