Just to further illustrate your point. For clarification the guy wasn't fired. He quit though it that was either a "can't fire me, I quit" situation, or he just got tired of dealing with the bs situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Either way, if there is any truth to that rumor I think Banks and Bayley were acting idiotic. Granted, those could be rumors being spread around by their detractors to make them look bad. This is a backstabbing business, let's not pretend guys don't do that. So the story goes, Shawn Michaels lied about Marty Jannetty being drunk and passed out at an event. It ultimately led to Michaels losing the belt to him on Raw as recompense. I'm not a Pat McAfee mark, but I respect him for threatening to quit over the tuxedo shorts thing. Just because you're Michael Cole doesn't give you the right to chew out Pat McAfee for wearing tuxedo shorts.

I go crazy watching the shit, can't imagine if I was actually working in a place where Michael Cole will yell at me like a child over some shorts, or Vince McMahon will fire me because Bret Hart said Vince McMahon in a speech. If anything I'm more suspicious of the people who do well there for years than the ones who snap. Yea it’s a fucked up business with strange rules of etiquette and all sorts of backstage shenanigans so I’m not surprised that it fucks up people’s minds. The cool thing is that there are career options available to wrestlers now that they didn’t have just a few years ago. So, good luck to Sasha. Whether she stays with the WWE or ventures off, she’ll shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're backed into a "you can't fire me, I quit!" situation, then you've basically been fired. You're just trying to preserve some kind of dignity for yourself. And to tack onto what @BobbyWhioux was saying, Evans was also made fun of in the ring by some of the DX guys, Billy Gunn in particular, saying "Vince can't fire me!"

DreamBroken Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hilarious visual, the laying on the floor bit. I think they will be mercifully split by the Shakeup, but it's weird that this whole thing has been presented as if they could never just win the titles back and have a second reign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'm curious if this alleged floor lying was then just sprawled out on the locker room floor in everybody's way, or them off to a side? Was making it clear they were unhappy mean they were just not in a great mood, or are we talking a six year old throwing a fit at the store because her mom wouldn't buy her whatever the modern version of a Cabbage Patch Kid is.

It's a great rumor because it's just specific enough that you can latch onto it, but vague enough that you can make it sound as bad as you want to believe it was. I mean, I'm an actor so laying down in weird places while waiting hours to do something seems perfectly normal to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hmm you know what I think this might be worth posting, this looks real. Pictures don't tell a whole story but they are out there supporting their friends in the main event. This would mean that it came after they lost the titles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Man I am so far behind, the last time I heard Punk mention Miz was in a fairly positive light. Granted it was probably a decade ago and along the lines of "I like Miz, he has a habit of accidentally rubbing people the wrong way initially that I sometimes do as well so I get him."
