November 21, 20186 yr comment_5872030 I love the Iiconics 2 hours ago, Strummer said: I know there are a lot of people down on Ambrose star power wise but his 2016 run with the title did very well on the house shows, drawing the same or even slightly better than Roman. And that was coming off the Brock program where he was made to look completely inept. He's also one of the top merch sellers in the company. Of course he was greatly helped by the Shield stuff but he's done okay to very good on his own. Right now he is being booked terribly. Also if you go by twitter he has an incredibly loyal fan base. And they are mostly young. I'm not saying he can be the guy but he's always going to have a decent spot He did a great job coming off like 'the man' when he was WWE Champ then, great promo work in the build to SummerSlam. I much prefer him as a face than heel.
November 21, 20186 yr comment_5872031 Why would anyone cheer for any babyface in this company? All they exist for is to get beat on by the heels to generate heat.
November 21, 20186 yr comment_5872032 There was a post show dark match of heel Bryan v babyface Miz that apparently got over huge
November 21, 20186 yr comment_5872034 Psycho Bryan is so great, and it's only going to get better from here.
November 23, 20186 yr Author comment_5872117 I won't lie. Becky's twitter antics have jumped the shark for me. Sure I still enjoy her overall act and she's still a must watch wrestler, but the twitter "burns" are getting progressively worse.
November 23, 20186 yr comment_5872118 Twitter pro-wrestling is the worst. Wait. Twitter is the worst.
November 23, 20186 yr comment_5872121 Looks like we may have (hopefully) seen the last of Lars Sullivan for awhile. http://www.ringsidenews.com/2018/11/22/lars-sullivan-caught-using-racist-joke-message-board-battle/ http://www.ringsidenews.com/2018/11/23/lars-sullivan-discovered-making-derogatory-comments-stephanie-mcmahon/ http://www.ringsidenews.com/2018/11/23/lars-sullivan-claims-got-ronda-rousey/ I can't find the link but someone on reddit also posted a lengthy rant about immigration and Democrats "bribing minorities" with "free stuff." Good riddance to this racist meathead. I wouldn't be surprised if they keep him signed for a little bit, maybe even have him come out on Twitter and apologize for saying what he did when we he was younger, but as others have pointed out, dumbasses do dumbass shit and, at plus-300 pounds and over 6 feet tall, this guy is literally one of the biggest dumbasses on Earth. So, yeah, even if this is just "the first strike," I'm guessing this guy's the Randy Johnson of saying stupid things that could get him fired and will be future-endeavored in the, um, near future.
November 23, 20186 yr comment_5872127 I'd be surprised if Vince even slaps him on the wrist for this. But if I'm wrong, I'll gladly admit it. There's no place for stuff like this.

Everyone acting like every tweet of hers is the greatest burn of all time is getting old

It says a lot about where we are as a society where I clicked those links and thought "well that wasn't as bad as I was expecting". I honestly doubt he would get endeavored for something like that unless some real sheet-wearing type stuff came out.
November 23, 20186 yr comment_5872132 He pledged support for a white-power band that sang about bringing about a second Holocaust and a member of which shot up that Sikh temple in Wisconsin. What more could you possibly need to see?
November 23, 20186 yr comment_5872133 WWE haven’t reacted publicly yet. Personally, no one has contacted me about it. Which is wildly different to when Jessica Havok, Aliyah etc had similar issues. So I don’t think too much will come of it. Him being a former edgelord troll is pretty well known before all this. Would be shocked if WWE didn’t know about it and it didn’t come up in their background check of him. Lars benefits from it being dredged up during Thanksgiving and heading into the weekend. Given how the news cycle works the World will probably have moved on by Monday. Lars also probably benefits from being this otherworldly goofy “freak”. Maybe WWE writes this off as him being a doofus? WWE/NXT likes projects and fixing them. I guess the open of business Monday and Raw will tell the tail about his future with WWE.
November 23, 20186 yr comment_5872134 Just now, PeteF3 said: He pledged support for a white-power band that sang about bringing about a second Holocaust and a member of which shot up that Sikh temple in Wisconsin. What more could you possibly need to see? I wouldn't tolerate it personally. But I will say he has spent the last four years or so at the Performance Center which is very multi-cultural and with a women's roster that has exploded in that time. Closed monitored by the Coaches there. Everyone from Balor, Owens, Oney to Sasha Banks have put him over on Twitter. I know his thoughts come from a deeply rooted place but maybe he's matured and changed since?
November 24, 20186 yr comment_5872135 Being in a multicultural environment didn't stop John Rocker from being a bigoted piece of shit, nor did getting older. I can only go by the facts, not speculation--and not empty "that wasn't who I am" boilerplate apologies, either.
November 24, 20186 yr comment_5872136 We don’t need another racist roidhead, fuck off Lars Sullivan. On another note mentioned earlier, I’m also not on this Becky bandwagon, tame Twitter “burns” and an overrated match with Charlotte that was nowhere near as good as Charlottes match with Ronda Rousey.

I can only go by the facts, not speculation--and not empty "that wasn't who I am" boilerplate apologies, either. There are bigoted executives in WWE as well documented. Which seems to inform WWE's stance on situations like this and their preference to manage the situation rather than firing someone and opening up the question from the media or fans of "what about Michael Hayes" etc.
November 24, 20186 yr comment_5872144 I don't see them firing someone for things posted 10+ years ago long before they were ever employed by WWE. It's gonna be a "I was dumb, won't ever happen again" conversation.
November 24, 20186 yr comment_5872149 AJ's probably kind of a piece of shit too, but he and Lars aren't even in the same bigotry ZIP code.
November 24, 20186 yr comment_5872151 No they are in the same “zip code”,a bigot is a bigot and AJ is anti Muslim and anti gay, he doesn’t get any pass. A piece of shit.

He shouldn't, but he will because his bigotry is "because Jesus". People will always fight for their right to be assholes in the name of the LAWD.
November 24, 20186 yr comment_5872155 Why should we care if Lars Sullivan is a bigot? It's not like he's a politician with the ability to shape policy or a business executive with power over personnel decisions. He's just a wrestler. And the smart move is to assume that all wrestlers are moral reprobates until proven otherwise.
November 24, 20186 yr comment_5872156 I think it's more a case of making sure bigots realize there are consequences for being bigoted in public, which is something that isn't a sure thing anymore.
November 25, 20186 yr comment_5872159 Weird he's calling out a guy for being racist, then ends up being the racist. But he was a 21 kid at the time he posted them, not excusing what he said. Just not sure I like a world when if you do or say something stupid that's it, your marked for life. I'm guessing everyone on this board has done or said something they not proud off, in an argument or drunk. If this posts were from last year I be more on his case, but unless there's more stuff surfacing, I say give him a break and move on. Hopefully it was just a misjudgement with a joke and he was trying to be funny with his reply (not that I found it funny)
