The sarray match is actually a 3 minute Karen Choo match with Lash Legend? It was pretty action packed for 3 minutes.

i think the other girl was Amari Miller who seems pretty good from clips i've seen. Lash Legend is not good at all.

I have a lot more respect for Nia than I ever I would.

What else did she say in the interview?

quote:

“I stood my ground on certain things that I know they weren’t happy about. I was choosing not to go and get the vaccine. It was a personal choice, and I remember sitting down with Vince [McMahon] because the whole entire two years I was there, we were tested every day, and I never popped positive, or had COVID. And it was like, ‘Well, kid, you’re not gonna be able to fulfill some of your contractual duties.’

“I was like, if that’s the case, then that’s the case. It’s a business. I said, ‘It’s a business, and I understand you gotta run your business.’ But that’s when I was like, I felt relief, because I made the decision for myself, and I stood by my ground. I stood by how I felt, and I always go by my gut feeling. If it doesn’t feel right in my stomach, I just can’t force myself to do something I feel good with. That’s just how I lived my entire life.”

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I didn't know she was an anti vaxxer. Nor that she was fired for being an anti-vaxxer.

She can get hosed then.

I still think it's lovely that they fired her whist she was taking mental health leave. And also lovely and stupid that they tried to ask her back so soon after she was fired, (especially given what I now know about why she was fired.)

Was Nia getting fired for being anti-vax actually confirmed? I thought that was just a theory people were floating around.

Not the part about her being anti-vax, but it being the reason for her being let go.

nia was interviewed by renee young and mentioned that it was for not being vaccinated. btw there's people speculating a handful of the releases around nia's release were also anti vax related

The other big known one was Scarlett but its assumed several of the others in there too were because of vaccination. The prayer emoji is that Athena isn't one of them.

As lovely and broken as Vince is, I sometimes think about him having to deal with professional wrestlers 24/7 for 40+ years. All the crazies and idiots, murderers and megalomaniacs. No wonder he's out of his mind.

Watching Dakota work a lovely crazy gimmick reminds me of how well John Cena does as peacemaker, as a psychotic person who wants people like him but pushes them away.

Had Tiffany hired/bribed Amari to take out Wendy? Also, when she comes out and distracts Amari by sliding her the credit card leading to Wendy getting the win and in the process stealing the card, what was the point of that? It's not exactly like the card can be used as a devastating weapon, plus they're implying that Wendy is about to go out and commit credit card fraud.

What even is this?

if this is true, it's so funny to be talking about having him wrestle two of the biggest stars on the roster going into their 2nd biggest ppv of the year and then just not moving forward with it at all. no ability to story tell from week to week and no ability to course correct, just continuing to flail creatively and being handed bags of money

How can Vince be the final word on everything but also be forced to let someone (HIS SON) go because they produced something bad? Wouldn't Vince have approved it and be just as at fault?
