WWE Drama

[Generations]

Not drama, and not specifically WWE related...but, I've been saying for years that Batista has the best acting career of any of the wrestlers who have done it. - It's great to see people finally recognizing this. (Weird that it took the sequel to Knives Out...but, I'm glad he got to a point where he's trending). The dude has always picked his roles very carefully and never really had any significant "misses". Whereas, someone like The Rock might get paid a shitload, but makes predominantly stinkers. - You look at Dave's IMDB, and you just think "this is a solid, solid list of films".

Agreed.

Lol...oh, Teddy. You seem to have a very poor grasp on what it means to "not bother anybody". 

"I don't know what trouble he's in...and that's good enough for me."

Hahaha. Smh.

"He aint bothering nobody." Umm....what in thee blue hell is T'Lo smoking?!

Teddeh! Lemme holla at'cha, playa!

The singular entity known as Nobody hasn't been bothered by Vince. But there is a growing list of other individuals that HAVE

Vince being Vince..

Bloomberg has a story today covering the potential sale of WWE.

Acorrding to the story:

Vince McMahon "s looking to get as much as $9 billion" in a sale of WWE, according to people that they say are familiar with McMahon.  Right now, the company has market cap of about $6.5 billion so that is far more than the company is worth.  Also keep in mind that part of that valuation comes from the rise in the stock price that took place after Vince stated plans to look into selling.  If he could get that much, I am sure he wouild sell in a second.

The story states that, "The company has already received offers, said the people, who requested that they not be identified because the discussions are private. WWE declined to comment."

According to the story the potential investors include:

*Endeavor, which owns UFC.

*Investors from The Middle East (Saudi Arabia, of course).

The story notes that Endeavor would need help from a third party to make the same.  Who knows, maybe they will work with The Saudis.

The story says that Netflix and Disney "may be uneasy taking on a business controlled by McMahon".  CEO Nick Khan has already stated that is not a term of sale for the right price.

The story also stated, "Any media company interested in airing the programs could also use this moment to buy the whole business. WWE has been one of the most popular draws for Comcast’s Peacock streaming service

[Generations]

I'm done even reading shit about the sale until it actually happens. Swear...I just heard a few days ago that the top contenders were Disney and Comcast...now this article says Endeavor and Saudi Arabia are likely again? I'm just gonna wait till something actually happens. Lol

Personally still pulling for either Disney, Comcast, or Tony Khan...because, I truly think UFC or Saudi ownership will kill the product. Saudi is the worst scenario...because people are gonna walk based solely on what that represents. And Endeavor just seems like a bunch of bullshit will come with it...because I really don't think UFC has been handled well in a long ass time. It honestly became unwatchable to me at a certain point.

That last part of the quote is something.
Because every day America shows why trusting its people with Guns is a bad idea.

Still, always sad to see how hard the Former Kane fell.
Becoming your regular rightwing nutjob.

Can’t believe I was a fan of that trash bag.

TMZ.com reported today that WWE's Sonya Deville was arrested on 2/19 in Atlantic City, NJ for possession of a firearm without a permit.

PWInsider.com is told by numerous sources that Deville was celebrating her recent engagement in Atlantic City when picking up her car from a valet attendant.  The attendant went into the glove compartment to double-check the ownership of the car as they did not have the valet ticket, and upon seeing the gun, immediately called security, who in turn called local police.   

Since Deville only had a carry permit in Florida, but not New Jersey, she was placed under arrest.  We are told the gun was never carried inside any buildings and was left in the car at all times.  It was not on her person when she was arrested, but since it was her gun and she did not have a carry permit in New Jersey, she was placed under arrest.

Deville carries the gun following the frightening incident a few years ago where a stalker (who was arrested and now resides in a mental health facility) broke into her home in Florida in an attempt to kidnap her.  Deville filed for the permit to carry shortly after the incident, understandably, to protect herself and actually had a Florida Judge help her expedite the permit.

This is obviously a really unfortunate situation for Deville.  We are told she does not have heat within WWE over the incident.  She is scheduled to wrestle Charlotte Flair on 3/12 at Madison Square Garden and the hope among those we've spoken with is that the charge will be thrown out given the circumstances

[Generations]

See...even though I just posted an anti-gun story about Kane, this story gets a pass from me...because, she wasn't intentionally being an idiot. - It might be true that her permit was for another state...but, at least she had one and was trying to keep the gun off her person and out of sight.

Still dangerous to just leave a firearm in a glove box where someone could potentially find it and use it. And definitely stupid to travel across state lines with it. But, at least she wasn't walking around with it. - Also, her reason for having one is valid, given her history.

Anyway...unfortunate for her, given the circumstances...but people still need to obey state laws. - I'm a knife guy, and I would love to carry some of my knives with me...but I leave them at home, because NJ only allows certain types to be carried (and only with due purpose).

On this i give her a pass on all accounts...despite her being a bit careless with it and all.
She doesnt have it because she is some gun crazy lunatic that puts the value of a gun higher than peoples.
She has it because some crazy lunatic obsessed with her, broke into her home.
Thats a valid reason to carry a gun around.

WON: WWE is interested in signing the Elite. AEW wants to lock them into new long-term deals

According to the[ Wrestling Observer Newsletter](http://f4wonline.com/), WWE is interested in bringing in The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. AEW is also working hard to lock Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks into long term deals. Nothing is guaranteed, but this is a goal to get Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks to stick around.

● With the Bucks, while they may do well in WWE, it’s not guaranteed, and they will have a better schedule in AEW meaning more time with the family and also less matches and can do their style.

● With Omega, he doesn’t have kids and he would likely get a major push and would have no end to having fresh opponents. It would also close the door to Japan that he’s waited years to re-open. But he did at least consider and have talks with WWE 2018-19 and wasn’t negative about WWE at all while making his choice to go to AEW. Khan did say he hoped Omega would be in the company for a long time to come.

That would be wild if all the EVPs are in WWE

I'd only want Omega lol

Same.

Bucks have always been overrated, IMO...but they went from overrated to insufferable in the past years. I really can't be bothered with anything they do these days.

Wouldn't be surprised, as this looks like they messed him up yet again. Shortly after he returned, I remember an article saying his storyline was already planned until Wrestlemania. If LA Knight and Bobby Lashley plus little progress when it comes to his character, Uncle Howdy or Alexa, is everything they've got, then I'll be damned. I hate to say it, but honestly, this version of Bray is kinda disappointing.

Quote

//Film featured comments from Directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, who are promoting their new series Rabbit Hole when the subject of the long-gestating Vince McMahon bio-pic Pandemonium came up.  The film, originally created and written outside of the auspices of WWE, was later brought in-house by WWE Studios with overtures to Bradley Cooper towards potentially playing McMahon.  Then, nothing.

Well, there's a good reason for that, according to Requa and Ficarra.  Vince McMahon killed the project.

"We have never in our career had the studio, we had an actor, everybody was just like, 'Let's make this movie,' and Vince said, 'We're not making it,'" Requa stated.

Can't blame Wyatt for leaving at all, if true.

His character has never been more directionless or cringe.
