Cannibal Man Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) I dunno , i'm giving this round to Meltzer. Rollins giving both barrells to Dave in public and the response is just a "oh hey sorry, you're right" like a kids TV presenter. Rollins is probably fucking angrier about that now. Meltzer's like Flanders. Edited November 6, 2019 by Cannibal Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JNLister Posted June 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 So there's a lawsuit by WWE stockholders accusing the company of bullshitting over Middle East TV deals. Today they added a witness statement: A Former WWE Wrestler Confirms He and Other Wrestlers Were Detained in Saudi Arabia Following the October 31, 2019 Crown Jewel Event as Part of a Dispute Between the Crown Prince and Defendant McMahon 317. A former wrestler for the WWE, who performed for the Company as a wrestler from 2012 to April 2020 and who participated in the October 31, 2019 Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia, confirms that (as reported in the media) WWE representatives were detained in Saudi Arabia following the event. The allegations confirm that Defendant McMahon cut the live feed to the broadcast of the Crown Jewel 2019 event in response to delayed payments the Saudi government owed the WWE—and in retaliation, the Crown Prince ordered certain WWE representatives to be held in the country for a few hours. 318. Specifically, CW-2 explained that following the Crown Jewel October 31, 2019 event, he along with other WWE personnel were scheduled to leave the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (where the event was held) and head to a private airport to take a charter plane to Buffalo, New York for the SmackDown event which was scheduled for the next night. CW-2 stated that while his group was waiting to depart, Defendant McMahon, other WWE executives, and big-name talent such as Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan boarded different flights than the rest of the group and took off, appearing to be “in a hurry.” 319. CW-2 recalled that he was initially told the charter flight he was scheduled to leave on was delayed because the plane needed to be pulled around, and once they boarded, they were removed from the airplane after 20-30 minutes. CW-2 explained that he spoke with a stewardess on the flight about the delay, who told him that “it seems someone doesn’t want us to leave the country.” CW-2 further explained that the pilot sounded “distressed” when he informed the passengers that the flight was unable to take off. CW-2 recalled that then they were told that it was because of mechanical issues, but he recalled seeing a “ton” of guards wearing black “militia” attire and wearing guns that were blocking their exit and “staring at the wrestlers.” 320. CW-2 became aware that something was wrong and explained that a number of the other personnel were referring to the event as a “hostage” situation.” CW-2 explained that he asked the Senior Director of Talent Relations, Mark Carrano, about what was going on and that Carrano told him that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and McMahon had gotten into an argument over late payments in connection with the June 7, 2019 Super ShowDown event. Carrano also informed CW-2 that McMahon had cut the live feed for the Crown Jewel event and that this had made the Crown Prince “very mad.” 321. CW-2 advised the he and other WWE personnel looked into the prospect of booking flights on their own at a different airport for early the next morning. After a few hours, CW-2 explained, he and about 10-12 other wrestlers, cameramen, and agents were put on another flight to Buffalo. CW-2 further noted that at this point he wondered why, if other planes were available, that they did not get everyone out of Saudi Arabia. 322. CW-2 also heard that while on the plane, other wrestlers communicated back home that the military police were holding the wrestlers, and that McMahon didn’t air the first 30 minutes of the pay-per-view, and that as retaliation the Prince was holding them. 323. CW-2 recalled a number of wives being very concerned on social media and then when wrestlers returned home there were a lot of messages expressing how grateful they were to be home. CW-2 stated that after he returned, the WWE put out a letter that attempted to remove all blame from the company and that, in his opinion, many wrestlers were scared of speaking out due to the limited job opportunities in the industry and the WWE’s comparatively high salaries. CW-2 explained that many spoke on the condition of anonymity to journalists and the WWE denounced these stories as “conspiracies” and “laughable.” Nevertheless, after the event, CW-2 said that he and a co-worker partner went straight to Talent Relations and said they would not go back to Saudi Arabia. CW-2 noted that other wrestlers tried to do the same, but the WWE “abused” their “power” and threatened the future trajectory of their careers if they did not go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Statto Posted June 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 Starting in 2012 & being on that Saudi show narrows it down to Luke Harper/Brodie Lee or Scott Dawson/Dax Harwood, I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Rusev. He was with FCW when it rebranded to NXT in 2012, that could be seen as his official WWE start date? He was on the Crown Jewel card and he was sacked April 2020. Edit: Just checked, he was injured when it rebranded and he didn't appear on NXT until early 2013 so that probably puts that one to bed.

Dazz Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Heard that it’s certain that Aiden English is one of the anons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted June 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 English also signed in 2012 but I don't think he was on the October Saudi show? Maybe he was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grecian Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Erick Rowan. Wyatts started in 2012, he was in the battle royal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted June 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 Depends on the definition being used of "started with WWE in 2012", I guess. Rowan signed with the company in 2011, Rusev in 2010. But yeah, the NXT debuts could be being used. I wonder if Rusev would get involved in this given his wife is still employed there, however pissed if he may be. I'd wager it's Brodie Lee. I think with his age he's not worried about burning bridges, hence the gimmick he's doing in AEW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted June 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 The consensus on twitter seem to think that it’s Scott Dawson. Brodie Lee is already doing his own pettiness towards WWE and Vince. I don’t think Rusev cares enough as he seems so laid back. Has to be more someone with a wife and kids that would do this, so even though Brodie Lee fits into that, I can see it being Dawson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted June 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) I think Erick Rowan is the only one who fits the 'starts in 2012 - worked Crown Jewel - sacked April 2020' criteria. EDIT: Nevermind, so does Dawson. Edited June 16, 2020 by Lorne Malvo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
