Wrestling Thread 5: FKA The Viking Experience • Page 120

Kofi/DZ for the world title seems fitting for how many times they’ve wrestled each other in the past

 

Or because they're stoopid. Either/or

 

Al Black also not going to Saudi Arabia. Also, haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but literally all the women won't be going (aside from Renee)

 

At this rate Black will be back on television around SummerSlam

 

Had no idea she was injured, just assumed they weren't using her

 

Have to admit, these last few days have me kinda hyped for aew.

Y2J, the elite, spears, dustin rhodes, hopefully a few cool surprises. Could be really great.

Hopefully Shark Boy shows up.

 

We reached out to WWE about the 2006 affidavit that included a claim by Ashley Massaro that she was sexually assaulted in 2006 while on tour in Kuwait. WWE issued the following response:

“WWE is saddened by the death of Ashley Massaro, and we reiterate our condolences to her family. However, we regret that her attorney Konstantine Kyros, who filed multiple cases against WWE, lost all of them, and was sanctioned multiple times by the Court for repeated misconduct and false allegations, is using Ashley’s death to further his malicious campaign against WWE by releasing an affidavit that she submitted to the Court and later apologized to WWE for being involved with, so we wish to make certain things crystal clear.

1. At no time was Vince McMahon or the management of WWE ever informed by Ashley Massaro or anybody else that she had been sexually assaulted, drugged, raped or sodomized by a military doctor with a nurse standing guard while on a goodwill tour in 2007 to U.S. military bases in Kuwait. In fact, if she ever articulated such a claim to WWE, we would have reported it immediately to the Base Commander.

2. At no time was there ever a meeting with Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn, John Laurinaitis or other company executives in which she told them of such a claim and was instructed to keep it quiet.”

they love their trumpian statements

 

that doesn’t include nearly enough of the Orange Cassidy/Chuck Taylor match. Had an absolute blast at that night. Was everything I want in a crazy Indy show.

 

God, I love that a promo like this is totally normal in Chikara.

 

Riddle vs. Strong at Takeover

I'm more hyped than Mojo rn

 

Takeover card is fucking

 

Io Shirai with a hype run-in on NXT TV tonight. She is all of us, as she beats up Shayna, who is wearing a Lamb of God t-shirt

 

Whatever happened to sin cara

 

Brandon Stroud, Ryan Satin and Sam Roberts are all fucking geeks

 

like so let me get this straight - Ziggler/Kofi is a match "no one wants to see", despite that match being consistently great whenever it has happened on much smaller stages with no heat behind it. but he also chastises them for putting the match no one wants to see on the gross Saudi show. is he saying he... would rather have a better match... on the show he claims to be against?

 

I mean, I think if anything the criticism is more on wwe for not using DZ enough and just bringing him in for one off spots here and there. They could really have used him the last few months. Whether that's his decision because he wants to tour with his comedy act or they just had nothing for him idk

 

but he also said he doesn't want to see Ziggler so why would he want them to use Ziggler more?

def think Ziggler left for comedy, he had a tour and just last year signed that new deal which was rumored to be for good money and to allow him to pursue other interests

 

Welcome to the DZ crew Shrek

 

Whelp. This is officially canon to me.

 

If zig didn't do the same promo every time he back, I wouldn't mind

 

DZ is getting a shit ton of money for one match, and then will disappear again to go back to his comedy touring. He’ll show up every now and then when you don’t really expect it, bones will pop, and others will complain
