Niners Fan in CT 14,952 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 16 minutes ago, NoFistsJustFlips said: I know I'm late to the party, but did anyone notice this week's Smackdown episode was rated TV 14? The rating bug wasn't present until they came back from break with Big E & Morrison in the back. Not sure if it's for the increased man vs woman interaction, or the violent themes of Retribution. But it's the first TV 14 show since what? 2008? 2009? Wonder if they are tinkering and testing short term or if there's a possibility Smackdown stays a little more adult in theme? Kinda bizarre to just throw it out there like that. Probably a cross between Retribution doing what they do and Braun attacking Alexa. Link to post Share on other sites
Eivion 3,661 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 11 minutes ago, Niners Fan in CT said: I can only speak on WWE but they have not done enough to protect the women there. Very little if any security. It also doesn't help that management and company men put the women right it harm's way because "respect the biz". I don't understand this. This happened at Sonya's actual home and it doesn't sound like there were any public signs of this guy coming after her until he actually did. What type of security is WWE supposed to be offering here? Link to post Share on other sites

LoneWolf&Subs 6,540 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) You basically have to protect yourself at that point. Keep your address from being out there, and don’t give clues to your whereabouts on social media through pictures. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was followed from the PC either. Since that’s where they go back, and forth from. Edited August 16 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to post Share on other sites

I’d like to delve into a year in World Class or Mid-South since I only got WWF as a kid. If you dont have/support the network, just about everything is on youtube. ,i saw an 84 WCCW show earlier that they had rated tv-ma for all the juice. Link to post Share on other sites

LoneWolf&Subs 6,540 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) Bill Mercer shaving his beard, and cutting his hair short a week later is a fucking travesty. He aged 20 years with that move. That was what, the height of Magnum P.I.? Thats when the stache craze started? Another observation... WCCW jobbers have great robes. These aren’t guys given gear from the back. You can tell they put some money in their looks. Too bad they couldn’t put money into their faces. Edited August 17 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to post Share on other sites

Frank Dusek's PINK PANTHER robe from 82-83 was fucking amazing. I would wear that bad boy to work, on the train, in the dog run... 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LoneWolf&Subs 6,540 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Holy shit, was he the Texas Baba? I am really astonished how much better their robes are compared to the stars. Kerry just walks out in Adidas track tops for crying out loud. Though to be fair, Adidas track suits were probably pricey in 83. Edited August 17 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it was a PPV or something though, but I remember this happening (just not the specifics). Link to post Share on other sites

Casey 7,602 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Her stalker's Twitter account was posted on SquaredCircle (because of course it was) and it's very creepy. It's just retweet after retweet of anything and everything Sonya related. Someone should have reported him before he had the chance to do this, he was showing warning signs for months now.
