Other than his debut, I think this was Hogan's only appearance at the Florida tapings.

Didn't sound like she was blaming anyone when talking about Candido or her stalking. I also find it funny that anyone who dares question or criticize the WWE Rehabs gets immediately crossed off as unbelievable, even when talking about something we know (that Scott Hall gets continuous free Rehab).

I'm less sympathetic given that I have no idea why WWE help anyone out with free rehab, so it should be discretionary and without criticism as to how that discretion is exercised. She should get her own loving poo poo together rather than get a company that employed her 10 years ago to bail her out for free. Jeez.

Because they are the public face of professional wrestling, and it makes them look bad when professional wrestlers (even ones who worked for them ten or more years ago) turn up dead because of drugs, alcohol or other problems that are beyond epidemic levels in the wrestling industry. If you can't see the value in the humanitarian angle, then look at it the way WWE does: Keeping people like Sunny and Scott Hall alive stops them from getting bad press, might get them some good press, and potentially creates two more people to help make them money somewhere down the line.

Also, I don't think Sunny lied in that shoot video about the rehab. I mean, she is not, in fact, Scott Hall.

She was looking well a few years back around the time she made a few WWE apperances. So I don't think the rehab story was fabricated but clearly something in the last year as thrown her off the wagon again.

Bringing up Scott Hall has actually made me wonder if she has PTSD from Candido passing away (especially the way he did, so senseless) and if it has just gone undiagnosed.

yes its is. I'm pretty sure she was diagnosed with it actually. It's why she is so clingy about this relationship that keeps getting her arrested.

I've seen one or two old OVW matches, and the fact that the ring is right up against a wall just bugs the poo poo out of me. Also Excalibur and I assume Dino Winwood just tearing the poo poo out of that handicap match, and mostly Teddy Hart & Crew, had me dying.

Hardkore Kidd vs. Lit & Deranged The Oven Mitts is one of my favorite matches ever due to how bad it is and the commentary completely tearing it apart.

Looks like they aren't paying for her rehab anymore:

WWE posted:

The WWE's statement in respoinse was: "As part of the Former Talent Rehabilitation Program, WWE has sent Ms. Sytch to rehabilitation numerous times, with all costs covered by WWE. Unfortunately, Ms. Sytch has continued to make poor personal choices and is ultimately responsible for the consequences of these decisions. WWE has always provided rehabilitation at a certified treatment center, however, given Ms. Sytch's inability to change her lifestyle and successfully complete treatment, WWE wil no longer fund her rehabilitation."

It sounds like there is more to this story than "You aren't Scott Hall" but that WWE isn't saying. "is ultimately responsible for the consequences of these decisions" is not something you would normally say in a press release like this.

I'm beginning to think the main reason he still has a job is because he's got such an incredible understanding of psychology. He's the British Jake Roberts.
