As much as I'm sure they're not happy about that, they'd get a lot of flak for firing someone who's been the victim of a privacy invasion like this. A crime has been committed against her after all. If it's true that the people doing this are doing it to belittle women in wrestling and try to get them sacked, which is apparently what people on 4ch*n have been saying ("Women have no place in this thing we like and so we will target them with attacks," certainly sounds familiar) then WWE shouldn't play into their hands either.

I was under the impression that Jim Cornette had a bad relationship with WWE.

Cornette has a bad relationship with everybody if his shoot interviews are anything to go by.

Just catching up on the recent news, I can't see anything other than Paige being let go and the film being canned. Granted she is the victim of a crime here but this is an absolute PR disaster. They cannot put her out in front of a live crowd anywhere again.

I'm sure it'd be a bigger PR disaster then if she sued them for unfair dismissal and won.

Translation - just finished looking at the pictures and videos.

I've now seen the summer raw and Kaitlyn ones. Bloody hell kaitlyn looks like her body was constructed by a mad scientist. The summer Rae ones just aren't as graphic as Paige despite featuring full nudity. Summer hasn't done anything sackable and is just a victim, she should in now way be punished. Paige however is debatable. If it wasn't for the nxt title photo then I would say WWE would be wrong to sack her however even if I don't agree with it I could see WWE being able to justify sacking her because of that photo.

Pretty good opening 40 mins to raw. The rest of the show will probably be crap.

Been reading a bit about the rock and wrestlemania 33. I get the feeling he may not be appearing. The winner of the warrior award tweeted rock about how he would love to see him in Orlando in a few weeks and the rock tweeted back that we're trying to get down there. I assume that means there may be some film scheduling issues. They had issues last year which meant that he didn't even rehearse his appearance last year until the early hours of Sunday after getting off the plane. I know a lot of people don't care for the rocks random appearances but I still mark out. What surprises me is how little he uses the appearances to promote his films.

To be fair I don't think it will work like that. They just won't renew her contract or put her back on TV. She can't ever appear in front of a live crowd on TV again as we all know what will happen.

Yuck. Looks like she's sucking off Kevin Owens in one :slol:

Quite a few of Melina have leaked too. Meh. Pretty much all of these have been not great.

So WWE went with the pre-tape option for the New Day last night. They've also killed the comments on their YouTube video.

Thought that miz and maryse total bellas skit was hillarious.

Surprised to see the Usos win the tag titles so close to mania, expect American alpha to win the back at mania which annoys me. It annoys me because instead of giving new stars a genuine wrestlemania moment they force it. For example they could of held back bayley and American alphas first title wins until wrestlemania. Both, especially bayley, would have made more sense.

WrestleMania season. :datass:

I don't think Vince or WWE seem to care any more. They've got the Network, they for the moment have their TV deals, and in terms of revenue they're positively raking it in from all angles.

I think people are still consuming RAW and SmackDown, but we're no longer sitting there watching for 3 solid hours Live every week, watching 45 minutes worth of adverts in the process.

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned round here yet but Jim Ross's wife has passed away after being in what sounded like a pretty nasty road traffic accident. From what I gather she was knocked of her Vespa, received multiple fractures to the skull and was in ICU for a good while but passed away last night.

Don't use Twitter. I use KKLEIN for all my wrestling related news, he failed me.
