They really should've pulled out all the stops to get a 6-man tag with the Chinese OWE guys - the casual fans who've seen clips of OWE want to see similar crazy kung-fu shit in person, instead they're getting T-Hawk, Lindaman & CIMA. And I'm sure it'll be a fine match, but it's not going to be a game changer like the Mania week DG 6-man tag in ROH back in the day.

Also, Hangman should've listened to Tanahashi.

I mean, it was never going to be a game changer with SCU. At the very least, Cima/THawk/Lindaman are a well oiled machine and they'll still probably melt everyone's brain who have never seen that style.

Supposedly there were visa issues. Cima was going to be in the match to lead it because the OWE guys are still fairly green.

SCU v.s. Strong Hearts is going to be a much better match even if you won't the same level of insane spots.

Can't have the OWE battle monk coming over here smuggling Huawei phones. Or something.

Not listening, I'm assuming the Ashley/Kuwait incident.

Fuck.

Yeah. Tbh, I was leaning more to it not happening and it being a result of her depression & crappy lawyer, because from all accounts she's had a tough life since leaving wwe. But Maria is supposed to be the one person she told who then told other people. And saying "I don't remember" to me is code for "It happened but I don't want to admit it and get trouble from wwe".

It's certainly a pretty huge thing to be unsure about

Wasn't Maria trying to get fired a few months ago? Why would she care about getting in trouble?

Just FYI, CIMA, El Lindaman, and T--Hawk have all tweeted within the past day or so about heading to Vegas, so it looks like the whole "visa issues causing another DoN match to be changed" thing wasn't actually a thing at all. All the foreign talent (minus PAC of course) seems to be accounted for.
Wow, it's almost like Rovert doesn't know shit

Imagine that

WWE probably slapped her with a a contract and fuck you money to forget it. That, probably in combination with threats to ruin her life. As a young family that has dealt with it's own troubles, I'd probably be pretty fucking afraid too.

It's kinda hard to believe a company about sexual assault when the boss has been accused about sexual assault. And there's the ring boy scandal in the 80s. And Snuka. And the way they've portrayed women on television for decades. And so on.

But yeah I'm sure WWE is clean when it comes to Ashley.

Oh, it'll be a better match, but it won't get anywhere near the attention a 5 minute crazy sprint with Strong Hearts vs say, A-Ben, Yilong and Jingjia would have. It won't be the sort of match to demonstrate to those not already in the know why AEW having the OWE guys on board is particularly exciting.

I don't know, but I don't know why the hell else she wouldn't say. It's either yes or no. I guess maybe she's guilty about not coming forward earlier if true or doesn't want to call a dead person a liar?

Did both Maria and Mike enter substance abuse counseling after signing with WWE? Memory loss is fairly common with people who have addiction issues. Maria may honestly being saying that she doesn't remember because of memory issues or because she was high during that tour and never retained that memory.

As far as we know, Maria never had substance problems.

While WWE absolutely does not deserve the benefit of doubt in these situations, I also feel like this kind of speculation doesn't really help anyone and as others have pointed out, we are not aware of Maria having any history of substance abuse problems.

Yeah an I don't remember could mean a number of things. It could easily mean she's not going to call a dead person a liar. Or it could mean she's afraid of repercussions. Either way, "I don't remember" ain't gonna be accurate. No way you forget a thing like that.

Remember when CM Punk said things on a podcast and had to deal with an expensive, multi year lawsuit

WWE trying to sue Punk into oblivion, not because anything he said was majorly false, but simply because he'd said it, shows exactly what kind of people WWE are. Their general scumminess is so multi-faceted, I often wonder if anything could make some people call it quits.

Just like the Enzo rape case, genius wrestling fans are taking "lack of evidence" as "it clearly never happened and the victim was a liar" Just in case anyone needed a reminder that Reddit is a shithole.

Catching up on NXT.

Johnny's "You didn't shock the school system" line popped me.
Seeing Tyler get that pop was really heartwarming. His "phone number on your tights" line went over my head though.
It seems commentary got the message. They managed to go the whole Candice match without once mentioning her husband.
Io's kendo stick beat down was fucking great. Loved the intensity.

he's a very hot possum
This is an accurate description of Cole.
