Once again Davis Shoemaker is an idiot and comments on things that he doesn't have the full story on. He says that the whole thing is ok because Charlotte agreed and went along with it.

Like the dude admits to reading the squared circle sub-Reddit (which had the full details about what ric flair said in his podcast) and he still got the details wrong.

Honestly, if you listen to Paige talk about her family, it would be a vastly bigger surprise if she wasn't a bully.

Paige isn't a bully. She well liked by the locker room. She's always hanging out with the other women.

Summer Rae and Rosa Mendes took Paige's side in the Twitter spat with Lana. Lana is legitimately disliked by the locker room mainly due to the TMZ deal which I gave all the details at the time.

There's ongoing concern that Lana is gonna leave or be fired. She's gotten in so much poo poo. Literally as one thing blows over she gets into something else. Mike Johnson today said a similar thing at Smackdown this week people were wondering how could Lana return to the locker room with her head held high after embarrassing herself.

My understanding is that Lana didn't have a noticeably poor attitude until after the disastrous face turn. Everything I've heard before that is people were weirded out she didn't squad up and party every night.

That whole thing is weird. It seemed to be a work, though ultimately a pointless one since Lana isn't a wrestler, but then most of Lana's tweets have been deleted and you have a former writer weighing in. I like Lana, but it's clear that she just waded into this wrestling stuff by accident and would probably rather just do something else now.

We're on the hunt for fake wrestle girls now I guess

How real was the talk of Lana becoming the "female face of the company" or whatever? It just seems like a weird thing to say about a total non-wrestler in a one note gimmick, even if she was doing very well.

This part is actually bollocks, though. To the extent that it's even talked about it's a "She was kind of an idiot there.". Most people don't care. No heat either way.

IIRC Meltzer was talking it up a fair amount around WM time, possibly sooner.

Being disliked by the locker room could be an indictment of a person or it could be an indication that they are a normal reasonable human. You never know with wrestling.

Nah Lana ruined over 5 months of storylines and really hosed over Summer Rae who everyone really likes by selling her engagement story to TMZ. Paige saw red when Lana tried to co-opt her storyline with Charlotte so soon after that and without asking.

I can see management thinking this, but she did everyone except Summer a favor by euthanizing that goddamn storyline.

Which is funny because on his podcast Flair says that Hayes definitely has Charlotte's back and seems to infer it was all Vince and Dunne.

If you're into learning random things about the history of the business, find the Sin Limites Dave did with Mike Sempervive over the past year or so.

Also, that at no point has WWE reached out to Ric or Charlotte's mother to apologize after the fact.

Honestly, I've only ever really gotten this lovely, annoying , dickhead side of Cornette, can someone explain why he's respected on some level? Is it just something I need to find and look into?
