July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806901 This is all sad. I don't want to play Pro Wrestling Doctor here, but I think Paige really needs to step away from it all. Its time for her to pull a Dave Chapelle on the wrestling world. No social media, no WWE, just time to step away for a bit. I feel like she is on the road to shaving her head bald and swinging an umbrella.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806920 The evidence is damning at this point (would check out Bix's twitter) - both audio and the witness account. Her story about the fan throwing a drink on Del Rio to try to cover this up was really sad.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806924 Someone replied to Bix that stuff like this is why guys needed shoot managers back in the day.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806925 "Check her bag, she’s got all the coke in it, it’s all hers." Stay classy... Again, GWF, great choice for a World Champ as you reboot the company.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806926 Chivalry has never been a noted side effect of long-term cocaine use.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806929 Alberto's promo on Impact where he talks about not needing a reason to party comes off 100% more creepy now.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806939 Also is it weird to think that the best thing for Paige at this point would be to go back on the road with WWE? It would get her away from him and this might be the one time where WWE's fetish for breaking up real life couples might be a good thing.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806940 Why doesnt WWE just fire her? It be the best thing in the long run and shes incredibly immature. Seriously she needs to grow up.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806941 Because WWE might be the only way she has out of what is increasingly looking like an abusive situation?
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806942 Yeah I think a lot of people in WWE care about her and cutting her completely loose isn't going to help her at all right now.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806943 I'd be curious to know how many of those people that care about her from WWE are still in communication with her and how frequently. This whole situation is so f'd, if I were WWE (and I'll admit, its kind of a heartless thing to do), I'd cut ties with her the same way they did with Angle. Was it the best thing for Angle's health? Probably not...but if the shit ever hits the fan (and I hope it doesn't), its going to be on the company to explain, "Well, she was under contract with us, but hasn't been on TV or touring in over a year, and she failed two Wellness tests, but she was also recovering from injury, and her friends and family advised her to leave her husband, but..." It is sometimes a really cold thing to do to let someone hit rock bottom or to let someone make a choice that you know could be really dangerous and harmful - but what other option does WWE realistically have? Is there really a chance that if they, say, made her RAW GM and had her touring with the company, she'd actually show up? I get the impression that things are very icy between the two sides, there's little to zero communication, and there are no plans to bring her back for the time being, healed or not.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806945 If they do that and he ends up beating her to death it's not going to look good for them PR wise.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806948 Why doesnt WWE just fire her? It be the best thing in the long run and shes incredibly immature. Seriously she needs to grow up. They've been kind of stuck with her. She's been hurt so they were probably keeping her around. Then the sex tape happened and there's bad optics there. Then this happens a couple of months later. They're probably just waiting until they don't have to take the PR hit for it.
July 11, 20178 yr comment_5806960 Here's hoping Paige gets the help she needs and is soon able to surround herself with supportive people.
July 12, 20178 yr comment_5806974 I bet that thing gets scrapped. Pocket change at this point. Maybe but it could mean the death of the movie studio too.
July 12, 20178 yr comment_5806978 WWE gave Punk his official papers on Punk's wedding day, fired Dawn Marie when she was pregnant, and ran a tribute video to a stunned arena right after Snuka's trial. This company has no heart. I wouldn't be surprised if WWE is just waiting until Paige's contract is up to quietly and quickly decide not to renew.
July 12, 20178 yr comment_5806979 Eh, even if you want to be cynical, it's best for her to be under contract with them until the film comes out.
July 12, 20178 yr comment_5806981 Why doesnt WWE just fire her? It be the best thing in the long run and shes incredibly immature. Seriously she needs to grow up. They've been kind of stuck with her. She's been hurt so they were probably keeping her around. Then the sex tape happened and there's bad optics there. Then this happens a couple of months later. They're probably just waiting until they don't have to take the PR hit for it. Im sure in the past other stars have been let go while on the injured list. Has she ever appreciated her job in WWE, theres probably thousand of womens in the indy scene who would love to get a position like she got.
July 12, 20178 yr comment_5806982 I think it's more the Rock movie and her being in the news so often that is preventing WWE from firing her, not the fact that she's injured. I think Paige right now may be the first case in history where going back on the road with WWE would actually improve someone's personal life.
July 12, 20178 yr comment_5807030 GFW announced today that World Heavyweight Champion Alberto El Patron has been suspended due to the domestic violence investigation stemming from the Orlando airport incident with Paige on Sunday. Below is their full statement: "Global Force Wrestling has indefinitely suspended Alberto El Patron, effective immediately, until the investigation is resolved following a recent incident in Orlando, Florida." As noted, Paige and Alberto were involved in an incident on Sunday that was recorded by a fan. You can hear the audio and get full details on what happened at this link. We will keep you updated on the suspension.
July 14, 20178 yr comment_5807286 Kudos to Jarrett on this one. What shows will he be suspended from? They are taped for a couple of months.
July 14, 20178 yr comment_5807287 Exactly. Hence the sarcasm, but it wasn't clear I guess. Really, the idea of building around Alberto was just not right to begin with.
