I dunno where it originated but people have been asking me if the rumour that next MSG show is a Network Special.

Personally have no clue but it has been a while.

So what the god drat poo poo was the point of this Emmalina poo poo? Was it just a rib and a fun way to waste Emma's and the fans' time? Looking forward to seeing Emmalina on dozens of "dumbest poo poo ever done by WWE" lists or whatever

The Emmalina character was Tom Casiello's idea. A writer who was fired late October. WWE hasn't had any idea what to do with it since and is a low priority in general.

"Sources tell us Emmalina was intended to be a throwback to characters like Sable and The Kat —" Yikes.

My shorthand was a time traveller from 2006/7.

I know a few months ago there were all these plans. She was going to be a "Diva" and never want to wrestle. More worried about her Instagram. A mutual friend of ours suggested she needed to come out with the butterfly belt one week. That got some traction. I think she was going to interrupt serious matches. Claim Wrestling was boring and promote her Instagram on the TitanTron. Kinda trick internet fans they were giving up on the Women's Revolution and draw heat that way.

I liked the concept. But it would be all in the execution. The commentary/writers obviously are lacking. Emma is very spacey line delivery wise and in general. She really just sounded bored in her voiceovers. Like, someone told her to "talk sexily" and she has no idea what that means.

The gimmick is better suited for Summer Rae IMO. She can model, talk and act.

The "let Emma wrestle" people should realise she is/was coming off a serious back injury. The few matches she has wrestled on Live Events got "she was very rusty" or simply bad reviews. Giving Emma a limited Wrestling role might have been a very sensible idea we will see.

Reminder that Tommy Dreamer got cleared to wrestle in WWE a little over a year ago.









In hardcore matches.

The only wrestler I *believe* allegedly failed the medical was MVP last Summer. There was some random model girl whose name escapes me who did the medical but never reported.

There are recent indie wrestlers hired who super surprised me in terms of passing medical from a suffered multiple concussions POV. The prevalence of Wrestlers vomiting after matches is indie Wrestling's dirt little secret. Thrashed knees and shoulders by your mid 20s are the tip of the iceberg.

There are injuries in every company that aren't disclosed because workers work injured. Also, water wet, fire hot, sky blue etc.

No not that. Injured as in isn't cleared to wrestle.

There's a TV taping this week and NXT is running a dual crew tour too. The absences should reveal who is out injured.

Why can't you just list the injured ones?

Because I don't have a full list and people could be cleared over the next few days. Why can't people just wait or make a mental note here? I was just telling you all to be on the look out on a developing issue.

The DIY didn't work this weekend for example. There's rumours about them specifically. But let's see.

So anyway the main part of the post was Becky. It remains alarming how many people in WWE are having shoulder issues.

Why can't you just not bring it up if you can't say anything about who they are?

I can though and just did. There's doubts about The DIY and they might be out for at least a month apparently.

Just WWE and injuries are a dynamic situation especially in NXT. There's injured/hurt semantics, flat out cover ups etc. You also have WWE wanting to shoot a storyline explanation first. I thought this should be clearly understood at this stage.

Becky Lynch's last injury was never disclosed/still a mystery. We discussed the rumours here before WWE confirmed she'd be out of action.

Unless you go to NXT Live Events you shouldn't yet. The NXT Cleveland date specfically without Gargano would disappoint people.

There is truth to this believe it or not. Paul in terms of temperament came along 10 years too early. Working for WWE during the Holly/JBL/Benoit era. Paul has a lot of goodwill still as he is a real nice guy and William Regal was his real life mentor:

I like to think that having 2 Melinas on the poll was intentional because they want nothing to do with her.

She has rehabbed her image on the UK indies the last year somewhat. But WWE recently told her a clear no.
