Taya Valkyrie Tells Fans To Stop Supporting WWE As Eight Main Roster Wrestlers Have Now, Been "Future Endeavored".

 

Taya Valkyrie aka the former Franky Monet in WWE NXT, who was released on 11/4, took to Twitter tonight to address WWE after they also cut her husband, John Morrison this evening:

Money wrote, "Stop supporting a company that has ZERO respect for their talent. You love pro wrestling, spend your money on the hundreds of other alternatives. This is wrong. Ethically, as employers they don’t care about us. Talent or fans."


And it looks like she was spit on since eight more taklents from the main roster are now out of job, with WWE hiding behind the bullshit excuse of "Budget Cuts".

Budget cuts my ass, all those profits they recently reported and of all the bullshit lies to hide behind, "Budget Cuts" is the best they can scrape up?

Just admit your "Creatively Challenged" Creative Department "has nothing forn them" because they're challenged to actually 'create' something that would get the talents over.


OOOHH, God forbid we have that, eh? "OOHH We can't have TTHHAATT come out", LOL.


Here's the list of Talents now having to look for a new job.

All three members of Hit Row- have been told to "hit the road", LOL.


Joining them on that road are,


*Tegan Knox.


*Drake Maverick.


*John Morrison.


*Jaxson Ryker.


*Shane Thorne aka Slapjack.


Guess Taya was right, then again WWE has proven people like her right all along. This is just the latest example.

Paul Heyman On Is AEW Is A Viable #2 Wrestling Promotion And If He Likes The Product



 

Paul Heyman recently spoke with BT Sports’ Ariel Helwani and gave some thoughts on what AEW needs to do, and if he thinks AEW is a viable #2 pro wrestling company to WWE.

Helwani asked Heyman how he feels about what AEW is doing right now, and if he watches the product.

“They the fans or they, AEW the promotion?,” Heyman asked. “AEW the promotion. How do I feel that they’re doing?”


Helwani continued and asked Heyman if he thinks AEW is doing a good job, and if they’re being a viable #2 promotion.

“Oh they’re viable,” Heyman responded. “They are a viable entity, and God bless them for being there.”


Helwani then asked Heyman if he likes the AEW product.

“I’m not the audience, so it doesn’t… my personal opinion on their product… if I were to sit here and go, ‘My God, they’re great!’… who cares what I think?,” Heyman said. Helwani said he cares what Heyman thinks as one of the brightest minds in the business and Heyman continued, “But that’s just a personal opinion. They’re not geared towards me and if I sat there and went, ‘Oh my God, they suck, they’re horrible!’… I don’t think they should care about that either.”

Heyman continued, “It’s like when [UFC President] Dana White gave his opinion of WWE and it wasn’t flattering, and I was asked about it, and my answer was, ‘And? Who gives a f--k?’ I don’t think AEW should give a f--k what I think about them. They should care what the fans think, what their audience and what their potential audience thinks about them. Here’s who we have, we need to super-serve them, we need to make them continue to be loyal to us, and we need to expand that base. We need to take that person and lure them in, we need to find people who love WWE and lure them to our tribe, and we need to find people who have never seen sports entertainment/pro wrestling, combat sports, etc., etc., and lure them onto our show, for whatever reason we can justify them coming to pay to see our product. That should be their mission. What Paul Heyman thinks of them should be of no concern to them.”

WWE Won't Give Ric Flair His Title Belts (Sounds Like Yet Another B*tch Move By WWE)


 


But seriously, you expect anything LESS from WWE? If it doesn't benefit McMahon in some way, of course it'll fall on deaf ears. God forbid people actually find success once they run away and get the hell away from the "WWE Universe". 


WWE and McMahon have been known to do bitch moves in the past, so why stop doing weak ass shit like this now? 


Anyway here's the story.


Ric Flair commented earlier today that WWE is apparently erasing his legacy. Flair also noted he’s trying to get the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship and WWF Championship (Winged Eagle Belt) back.

“Speaking of legacies, @WWE has decided to erase mine,” Flair wrote. “That’s all good, however, these two belts are my legacy, And I’d like them returned! I’ve asked twice, apparently falling on deaf ears! I’m assuming that next week on @FlairUncensored I’ll have to explain in detail! WOOOOO!"

As noted, Ric Flair launched a new Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast yesterday on The Podcast Heat Network. Flair’s co-host will be former WCW commentator and Pittsburgh radio veteran Mark Madden.


Flair’s new podcast will “take an in-depth look at pivotal moments and memorable matches in Flair’s Hall of Fame career” and also give “Flair and Madden the platform to give their uncensored views and opinions on the current state of professional wrestling.”

The Nature Boy originally ran his “Wooooo! Nation” podcast from May 2015 – April 2016, but it was nixed after 46 episodes. He then hosted “The Ric Flair Show” on MLW Radio from July 2016 – December 2016, but quit that show due to work with WWE and feeling like he could no longer be objective when it came to his thoughts on the WWE product.


How much you wanna bet WWE continue to act like little bitches and refuse to give back the titles? And try to hide behind "it's our intellectual property" excuse?

Anyone wanna bet me? I'll gladly take your money. Because WWE as I said have been to be bitches like this, so nothing's gonna change. Once a bitch, always a bitch. 

Jim Johnston Slams WWE On How They Book Talent: “There Are No Breakout Stars”


 Jim Johnston was a recent guest on the RRBG podcast recently where he discussed the current talent in WWE. He admitted that he feels sorry for them due to the fact that the company isn’t putting things together to create stars.

“I feel so sorry for the current crop of talent there,” Johnston said. “I feel like they’re being served so inadequately and so poorly. There are no breakout stars because they’re not putting the right combination of things together to create stars. I am sure there are stars there, I am absolutely confident. I remind everybody before Steve broke out and became one of the biggest stars in the game, he was The Ringmaster. He was a pretty low-card player.”


Jim Johnston then spoke about music in detail. He gave his feelings on wrestlers using mainstream music rather than themes specifically created for them. He believes that doing that can take people out of the moment and the character.

“One reason I always thought wrestlers using mainstream music absolutely defeats the purpose is because people have different emotional associations with those songs. A song comes on that’s an AC/DC song,” Johnston said. “A guy comes out to that, it makes him feel all puffy, ‘oh, I’ve got an AC/DC song.’ But the problem is, half the fanbase is thinking about some association they have. ‘This is the night I had that car accident, this is the first night I kissed my girlfriend.’ You’ve effectively taken them out of the story and now they’re not thinking about that guy.

“So, when Taker’s music plays or Steve’s music plays, people are only thinking about Steve Austin, not when they kissed their girl,” he said. “They’re thinking about Steve Austin, what he did last week, I wonder what crazy thing he’d going to do tonight and that’s what you want. It’s not just intellectual focus, it’s got to be an emotional focus.”
