Generations Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Santino was one of those guys who I always wanted to see in a serious role. He was literally only serious for his debut as the fan who won the IC title...then he immediately became a joke. Would have been great to see him as a martial artist or whatever.

Guest Fight Me. Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) I always thought Santino's last good deed should've been introducing Enzo as his cousin and then leaving. Also, Stone Cold had Hornswoggle on his podcast.

classiq. Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 In an interview with 98 FM Dublin (transcript credit wrestlinginc.com), Triple H spoke about WWEs wellness policy and helping talent who may not be part of WWE anymore. Here are highlights: On the WWE Talent Wellness Program: Were a show, but the physicality of it is very real and we have a very advanced and probably one of the best in the world health and wellness programs for our athletes and our talent. And were very serious about trying to keep them in the best shape possible and them staying in the best shape possible, but the physicality is real and you know that going in. You try to take the most risks possible. The thing about our business is the intent is to try to make it look as painful as possible and make it actually be as painless as possible and thats a fine line, but you do the best that you can. On helping current and former WWE wrestlers: Its tough when people leave WWE. What they do with their lives, how they live their lives, you unfortunately cant control that for everybody. And, unfortunately, lots of people in life, in any profession, make bad personal decisions. And we try to help people as much as we can, but, at the end of the day, people are responsible for their own personal decisions they make in their [lives]. But when youre working with WWE, when you are one of our talents and our athletes, you are part of a very stringent testing program, not only for drugs, but its a wellness program, its a health and wellness program that involves cardiac testing, concussion protocols, drug testing, every gamut of it. We want our athletes to be as absolutely healthy as possible at all times while theyre working for us. http://411mania.com/wrestling/triple-h-talks-about-trying-to-help-those-who-make-bad-decisions-after-leaving-wwe/ Full interview: http://www.98fm.com/podcasts/Now_Thats_What_I_Call_Sport/98FM_Now_Thats_What_I_Call_Sport/48926/WWE_Star_Triple_H_On_Dublins_98FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have a funny feeling that the "major star" might be Orton. I couldn't really support an argument as to why, it's just a feeling that he's reaching the end of his run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiq. Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Former WWE writer Court Bauer reported on MLW Radio that Lilian was quietly let go from WWE last week. When informed about her tweets on returning this Monday, Bauer said he confirmed her release with someone in WWE right before the podcast was recorded. Dave Meltzer noted that WWE had confirmed Christians departure and did not issue a response on Garcia but it was not specified if that meant Lilian Garcia. We will keep you posted on Garcias status. http://www.ringsidenews.com/wwe-news/lilian-garcia-released-by-wwe/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classiq. Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Long-time WWE announcer Lillian Garcia may be wrapping up her tenure with the company soon. Rumors began last week when the announcer was not on television, and it was speculated that she was caught in the mass “spring cleaning” of talent that saw the release of several notable stars. However, as recently as Thursday afternoon Lillian took to Twitter noting that she was dealing with a family emergency, and hoped to be back this coming Monday night for Raw. While several other sites are claiming to second guess reports of her firing, we are still awaiting an official response from either WWE or Garcia herself. One source noted to me that she may still be with the company, however they apparently won’t be renewing her contract, and she will be off television once it expires. If this is the case, while the end result is essentially the same, it would explain the conflicting reports and Lillian’s tweets, as she very well could still be on Raw this coming week. http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/708619-clarifying-reports-rumors-of-lillian-garcia-being-released-by-wwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classiq. Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 As noted, former WWE writer Court Bauer claimed on MLW Radio that Lilian was quietly released by WWE last week. To add another layer to this rumor, Mike Killam of Wrestlezone.com said on Reddit.com that WWE wont renew Garcias contract when it expires. Killam claims that Garcia has not been released, so she could very well continue to appear on television until that happens. I talked to a few people who are saying WWE is letting her contract expire. She wasnt fired last week, Killam said. So when she shows up on RAW next week (IF she shows up) dont everyone be all like how about those Lillian rumors!? Its coming. She just might be on TV until the contract expires. As far as when her contract expires, Garcia said in at least two interviews last year that her contract expires in 2017. That could come in January since she last renewed her contract in January 2014. http://www.ringsidenews.com/wwe-news/more-rumors-of-lilian-garcia-leaving-wwe/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classiq. Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Lilian Garcia was NOT released by WWE … sources tell us her father is sick with cancer — and as complications arose this month, the company went out of their way to help the announcer be by his side. Sources close to Lilian say her father was having major complications in his battle with cancer and WWE not only approved her emergency leave, but the company has been constantly checking in since. We’re told her father has been doing much better in the past few days, and Garcia plans to return to the road starting this Monday with RAW. Our sources tell us Lilian has been incredibly gracious for the support from WWE. http://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/lilian-garcia-not-released-father-sick/?platform=hootsuite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGION Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 It's the typical "If it happens, we knew it before everyone else! If it didn't...they changed their mind." and it's quite annoying. Most of it comes from someone misquoting Dave Meltzer. Meltzer: "I have the feeling that there are more releases to come." Dirtsheets: "There will be more releases."
