MonteCarl Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Anybody else find it weird that they use her stage name of "Emma" in the statement instead of her real name like they usually do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 The more I think on it, the more disappointed I am in the cold corporateness of the WWE reaction...from that one line "she's on her own" statement to this. To a certain level, the whole "we're a family who looks out for our own" thing was nice...I mean, a level waaaay below "covering up for Snuka"...but shit, given that you'd think the proper wrestling response would be to rally around a worker who got busted for something stupid like this instead of just instant corporate shredding. Where's the carny family honor, Hunter? You think your old heroes wouldn't circle the wagons for a few weeks until this blew over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 She was probably on the bubble anyway. It was pretty obvious they had no plans for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 WWE did such a crap job of marketing her that i almost feel like TNA might do it by accident. They'll bring her in as a femme fatale and she'll be so goofy at it that she'll be a super over babyface. Then, three weeks later, they'll repackage her as a desklamp or something. Emma as the Pixar desklamp? That'd be adorable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Emma's TNA name- AmmE. They are going to build the next set of taping around her before releasing her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Regarding Emma, I've seen the theory of a work Visa issue being floated around. In that case, I can totally see why they would release her. According to Bix on twitter, who contacted the Hartford police department, there were no work visa problems. The charge was dropped in exchange for one day of community service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Piper vs Hitman at WM 8.I probably should have mentioned besides this one as I'm looking more for stuff I haven't seen and have heard little about. This is the one really good Piper match I hear talked about often. Gotcha. In that case, check out Piper/Flair/Kevin Greene vs Hall/Nash/Syxx at Slamboree 1997. It's one of the best NWO matches, as well as one of the best performances by a celebrity in a match. Kevin Greene could have been really good if he'd become a wrestler when he retired from football. Sounds interesting. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
