Dax Harwood Addresses The Fans Who ‘Sh*t On’ Sasha Banks Following Her WWE Walkout
By Gino Bradley
In a new article in the New York Post, Harwood commented on how much he can relate to Sasha Banks for making the polarizing decision to walk out before “WWE Raw” on May 16. Banks and her fellow Women’s Tag Team Champion Naomi decided to leave the building before they were scheduled to compete in a six-pack challenge match. The next day, Harwood shared his support for his friend on social media.
“Cash and I did the same thing, and a lot of fans for some reason had decided that we were crybabies and we whined and we should have just done our job and shut up,” Harwood said. As The Revival, he and Wheeler made a point to stand up for themselves during their run in WWE, and they eventually left the company due to creative differences.
“If I would have just stuck around and stayed in the same position that we were in, there’s no way our brand would’ve grown,” Harwood continued. “So I know exactly what she’s going through, what she’s feeling. And she probably was feeling that ‘I don’t feel respected and I could be doing way more and if I continue to stick around I’m going to continue to get pushed to the side.’”
Negativity can be the name of the game when it comes to having a social media presence, and Harwood foresaw that coming for Banks when she stepped out.
“For fans to sh*t on her, or sh*t on us, because we want better for ourselves and tell us just to shut up and take the money, man that’s hard to read every day,” he said. “So that’s why I wanted to show that support to her.
Standing their ground has paid off for Harwood and Wheeler, as it was just last night that FTR became the new IWGP Tag Team Champions at Forbidden Door. Banks, meanwhile, was reportedly released by WWE earlier this month following the walkout — though that has yet to be confirmed — and has appeared with a new look, no longer sporting her signature vibrantly-colored hair.
It doesn't look like Banks is worried about walking out on Vince McMahon, not worried at all about it.

How WWE Is AEW, WP&P "Harmful" To Twitter? Can't Stop Scamming And They Won't Say Sh*t
How "WWE" is AEW, is Wrestling Past And Present "Harmful" to Twitter, can't stop scamming and... They won't say shit. Welcome to the latest installment of...
Remember when Tony Khan, Cody Rhodes and Chris Jericho all claimed that AEW was going to be 'the alternative' to WWE? They all said it and the funniest one is Cody making that claim, especially now that he went back to, where? WWE. Be it as it may they all made the claim but yet, look how "WWE" AEW has become.
One comparison is this story here. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/aew-claims-to-be-alternative-to-wwe-but.html
Then there's this one. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2020/12/another-example-of-how-aew-claims-to-be.html
And of course there's this one, which has been a popular 'go to' article here at WP&P. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/10/aew-claims-it-wants-to-be-different.html
So with all that AEW still continues to be just like WWE as WWE runs four hour pay per views and lookie lookie what AEW is now doing. Second pay per view in a row with Forbidden Door is scheduled to run about what? Oh, FOUR HOURS.
Funny how they love to claim to be different but funny how they sure act the same, eh?
Besides, who the fuck wants to sit thru four hour pay per views? Add in a preshow and that's even longer? Especially when many of the match ups wouldn't put one ass in a seat anywhere, and the booking and storytelling of said matches has between lame, weak and lackluster at best for most of them?
Me, watch a four hour pay per view? I don't give a shit what promotion it is, four hours is way too much. Me watch a four hour pay per view, yeah right, GET, the fuck out of here with that idea. Never gonna happen even if you offered to pay me to watch it, the answer would be a quick "Hell No", HELL, fucking, no. I can't stomach watching weekly WWE, AEW or Impact shows all the way thru, how the hell you going to convince me to suffer thru four hours straight of shit, when I don't even allow myself to watch two hours straight of their crap? Good luck with that idea cause it won't be happening here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then came the claims that AEW wasn't going to hire a lot of WWE wrestlers. Who said something like this? Oh that would be this guy seen below.
Apparently they do since who debuted tonight at Forbidden door? Claudio Castagnoli/Cesaro, a guy who wasn't pushed or used very well in WWE is now, the "Latest Sensation" to be "all Elite" (rolls eyes).
What about the other WWE talent they've signed, debuted and then seemingly not used that well, as well? Mark Henry? Yeah he's been a huge ratings mover since he's come aboard the AEW ship (NOT), "Big Show" Paul Wight? Yep, he sssuurre has sold out many pay per views for Tony Khan since the billionaire money mark signed him (yeah right), Tony Khan has at last count, signed eighteen former WWE talents, EIGHTEEN.
But according to Jericho and others they weren't gonna sign many, LOL. Glad we believed that bullshit, right?
Let's add in Jericho's "selling point" about 'The Wizard'. "What is it, it's nothing. What is it, it's everything". Boy doesn't that just make you WANNA get invested in that idea, eh?
Yeah, I don't fucking think so.
Thank God there's talents like Darius Carter, the team of The Hex (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle), Ryan Danielson, Trevor Murdoch, Tom Lawlor, Fred Prosser, Jacob Fatu, Bryan Keith, Lufisto, among others I like that don't do that kind of silly bullshit. What you see is what you get and what you get is talent worth watching as they keep it simple. Simple, not stupid, there IS, a difference.

The funniest thing I've seen in a week was when someone someone I know sent me this.
Not only are links to this site a violation of Facebook's community standards (a story I, Donnie Henderson and Gino Bradley all collaborated on bragging how we enjoyed this and still do to no end, is here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/11/wrestling-past-and-present-has-now-been.html ) as well as Instagram, there was this thing by Twitter that claimed we're "potentially harmful", AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just when I think they can't come up with something any more stupid, something like Twitter comes and proves me wrong. This little deal only lasted like two days but it still, is funny as hell that we here at Wrestling Past And Present were considered 'potentially harmful'. Gotta love the reputations this little site gets for doing what it does, and we will keep on doing it (smiles).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of WP&P keeping doing what it does, my latest story on PWInsider staff writer Mike Johnson did get a few people messaging me, emailing me wondering why after all the times he's been caught by me doing this, does he keep doing it.
The latest story in case you may have missed it is here.
https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2022/06/some-people-never-learn-as-mike-johnson.html
Why does he do it even after getting caught so many times? Ask him, and then tell me how he tries to explain himself. My guess is he was doing it for so long without anyone catching on that he's at a point where he can't control himself, he just can't stop scamming. Much like someone who has say, a gambling problem, Mike possibly has a scamming problem. he just can't stop scamming. Rumor had it (from a few people including someone who contributes to PWInsider) that Mike was gonna try and use Tony Khan's Forbidden Door Media Scrum as an 'exclusive' only for those elite subscribers but changed his mind after he found out i busted him again on his little scheme. It was in his best interest to not do that cause I sure would've had fun busting him out on that as well.
And since Stephen Rodgers, Joe Rizzo and a few others asked why guys like Scherer, Johnson or even when I called out Eric Bischoff and Jim Cornette on something, why they don't fire back like they do on Meltzer etc? The stories where I called Cornette and Bischoff out are here.
https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2022/05/no-comments-from-cornette-and-last.html
https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2022/05/eric-bischoff-gets-checked-and-it-wasnt.html
Donnie and Gino used to call them "Oh Shit" moments, where I posted something calling them out and they both said "OOHH shit". I simply told them "Just watch what they don't say, and don't do.. Cause they're not gonna say shit or do shit".
Johnson and Scherer, when they do say something about me it's on their little weekly podcast that only paid subscribers can hear, which shows you just what kind of people they are if the only place they can go and talk shit about someone, is to hide on their little podcast and puff their chests out, that says it all about them. I'm easy to find and get a hold of and I offered to go heads up with them any time they wanted, but what do they do? Hide in their little bubble behind their little podcast.
Now Cornette and Bischoff I thought for sure would fire back. Cornette's a known hot head that'll confront someone and Bischoff loves going off on Meltzer and Keller, so i thought for sure, this time, these two would be the ones who finally gave us the "oh shit" moments Gino and Donnie swore were gonna come because of what I say and write. But it didn't happen and I'm pretty sure it's because the fact what I said and wrote? Was facts backed up with proof? left them with nothing they could fire back at me on. Facts and proof have a way of silencing even the biggest of blabbermouths so while Bischoff and Cornette will go off on Meltzer, etc. The one writer they won't say shit to or about, is me, and I've proven it over and over again. because the stories we report and the posts we make here at WP&P? Are accurate. Not once has anyone come out and say WE, here at WP&P got something wrong. THAT is something we are 100% proud of, not one time has anyone said we got something wrong and we intend to keep it that way. We don't have to make shit up willy nilly like Meltzer has, or have we got called out for being wrong like Meltzer and Mike Johnson have been. WE here at WP&P have a 100% success rate when it comes to what we report and we intend to keep that up.
OUR professional standards obviously are higher than ahem 'some other' well known journalists. WE I guess just know how to do the job right, compared to them which is why when we call someone out and have proof to back it up? they won't say shit cause the facts and proof have them where they can't say shit.
Too bad other big time wrestling writers can't make that claim, eh.? (smiles)
