Yeah my last one was 25, took me that long to have the money to fly out again and all, but was really awesome. Did you got to the EVOLVE or Shimmer shows cos we were at those too. Although it's not as if I was wandering up to people introducing myself as a goon so :P

Isn't Heath Slater back in dark matches now? Anyone know what happened with all that?

I did not. I did meet one nice girl from Ireland and her sister who was also in a wheelchair, but that was my only experience meeting non-Americans at Mania which seems a shame. Even funnier was the girl tracked me down on Twitter thanks to Ziggler RTing an Axxess photo. :v:

Heath is back with WWE, yes.

If they really wanted to be relevant to current events they should have Young feud with Rusev and be the one who triumphantly beats his streak and takes the US belt (which stands for freedom and equality) off of him.

I was just thinking that myself. It would be poetic justice and Young could have a good run with it. It seems obvious, just like Rusev/Swagger and then giving Rusev the US title. Expect it to happen 6 months later than it should then!

That would be dangerously close to actually making social commentary rather than just going "lol, people died when a plane got shot down" for cheap heat.

I wonder, just how popular is WWE in the Middle East? I remember a few years ago when Morgan Spurlock was doing a documentary on the Middle East that he said that WWE is really popular there. So I can understand partially why they want to have shows down there, but of course its bullshit that they try to shut Darren up for speaking his mind.

I remember an interview with Big Show where he said he feels like a "real celebrity" when they go to the Middle East, since the people will mob them in the streets and at the hotel and such.

If Darren Young is so offended by WWE's policy of making money by going to foreign countries whose policies he disagrees with, why does he continue his policy of accepting money from them?

I find it hard to believe that his contract has never come up since 2012.

He can't change things sitting on CM Punk's couch in Chicago.

Yeah, that was pretty much my point. Darren likes sweet, sweet money just as much as WWE, so let's not pretend he's somehow a victim of the evil, greedy WWE (in this case).

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I think people may be just over blowing this situation. Darren Young tweets something along the lines of "I can't believe WWE is going to a country that treats women and homosexuals awful" and WWE told him to take down the tweet, and he got upset that they told him to take it down because he felt like it was impending his freedom of speech.

I really, really don't think he's salty about not being booked on the show or he's super offended the WWE is doing shows there, or he's threatening to walk out just like the greats Steve Austin, CM Punk, and Justin Gabriel before him. It was a casual comment that people are making GBS threads their pants over.

I hate to pile on Darren Young because I'm proud of him coming out, but I really wish someone would tell him that it's not a violation of his freedom of speech if WWE asked him to take his tweet down.

I understand that, I just don't sympathize with someone publicly complaining about his company choosing money over morals, when he himself has been doing the exact same thing for years.
