This should be a chance to create another star. yeah, maybe now it would be a good chance to highlight some of the callups that were former NXT Champion. Karrion Kross? Keith Lee? Adam Cole? Aleister Black? Andrade Almas? hmm. guess it'll have to be Drew McIntyre. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 3 hours ago, Zimbra said: Angel was actually a cop in Wichita for a while until he got fired for committing worker's comp fraud. I'm not gonna check but... did the workers comp fraud involve claiming wrestling injuries as workplace injuries or did it involve going on the injured list from the legit job while continuing to wrestle? I say this as someone who was once represented by a state lawmaker who got Social Security disability benefits without telling the feds that he was currently serving in the state legislature. Later on he tried to get state retirement benefits but was rejected because he pled guilty to that federal charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news stories on it are pretty vague but he got his cert revoked over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM Punk's WWE World Championship reign was 434 days, and Roman's Universal title reign tied/passed that today, so he'll beat it or already has or something. Although Brock already held the Universal for 504 days, and Bruno's longest reign was over 2500 days, so it's not that big of a deal anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been perfect with Roman being the guy who put Lee down in big SS match a couple of years ago. Now there is basically no one unless they say fuck it and move up Jones or Steiner super fast.

AxB Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Yes, but Onita is a legend with a lot of charisma, and it's the only chance they'll probably ever have to see him, so they're prepared to ignore (or forgive) his transgressions. Whereas Henery Hawk is a twat, just a twat and nothing but a twat. So it's different. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'm not sure if the filter still exists or if people are just respecting the old filter for a certain person. At this point, i'm not gonna test it. Also, after looking into the membership of the Truth Commission (no comment about why).. the Mantaur/Tank stint happened slightly before I got into wrestling. So I'm sure there were no plans to have Mantaur and PN News team up in the WWF. A cousin tag team where one member raps and the other doesn't really do much mic work. Or PN New doing raps to introduce the Truth Commission.

madl Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 9 hours ago, Cobra Commander said: babyface MOM was Oscar rapping and the team not really doing much on the mic, right? Yes. I think Oscar did a lot of the talking when the team did promos too, though for a team decently pushed, MoM didn't get mic time very often. Mo really got the worst end of it. Rarely got handed the mic, rarely got an opportunity to look good in the ring. Mostly was there to make the hot tag to Mabel and eat the pin when the team was doing the job. In hindsight, it definitely looks like Vince didn't trust him to do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In releated news, Team Onita is claiming H2O and IWTV is stiffing them on the payday, to which is say.. LOFL Fuck Onita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
