Sad. And we know the outcome... usually anyone taken by a strong rip current doesn’t make it. How awful for him & his family.

Michael Mansury, the Vice President of Global Television Production, departed World Wrestling Entertainment officially last week, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources. We are told Mansury had given the company notice several months ago he would be departing as of May and is now done with the company.

Mansury was seen as a big part of the Triple H regime and some in the company had dubbed him unofficially as the "next" Kevin Dunn, as in the idea was that he would one day fill Dunn's role down the line. Mansury, who had been with the company since March 2009, initially as a Production Assistant, rising through the ranks as Associate Producer, Producer and then Managaging Producer of WWE before being elevated to his Vice President role in March 2016.

In that position, Mansury had been the Director of record for many of the WWE PPV and TV productions in recent years. He was well liked among those we spoke to today, many of whom seemed shocked by his departure. With Mansury having departed and Kerwin Silfies not currently working for the company, it appears Matt Miller and Kevin Dunn will be handling directing WWE broadcasts.
 
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is reportedly not sold on Shayna Baszler as a top heel Superstar yet.

As we’ve noted, Baszler has a big fan in RAW Executive Director Paul Heyman and there has been talk of giving her a significant push. At one point there were plans for Baszler to win the 2020 Women’s Royal Rumble Match, but she was eliminated by current WWE NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair instead. Baszler was also scheduled to win the Women’s Money In the Bank briefcase a few weeks ago, but plans were changed and Asuka won.

Now word is that Vince has apparently changed his mind on Baszler again, according to Paul Davis of WrestlingNews. It was noted that Baszler will eventually move into the RAW Women’s Title picture this year, but Vince is still not 100% sold on her as a top heel yet.

There was no time frame given on Baszler’s big push to the title. She just defeated Natalya two weeks in a row, winning a Submission Match this week on RAW. It’s believed that Nia Jax will get the next title shot from RAW Women’s Champion Asuka, but Baszler could be the challenger for around SummerSlam time, depending on Vince changing his mind again.
 
maybe she should dye her hair blonde?

that wont help

the face is still a chore to look at

and if there's any truth to this thats probably why Vince not sold on her

Baszler a beast tho, just gotta put her up against the right opponent or the matches gonna be shitty

hana kimura dead dies death passes away stardom

POSTED BY: RYAN SATIN MAY 22, 2020


Japanese wrestling promotion Stardom has confirmed 22-year-old wrestler Hana Kimura has died.

Concerns surrounding the wrestler came about this morning after Kimura posted images that appeared to show self-mutilation accompanied by a disturbing caption.
Hours later, Stardom confirmed her passing in a tweet which stated:
Stardom fans, We are very sorry to report that our Hana Kimura has passed away. Please be respectful and allow some time for things to process, and keep your thoughts and prayers with her family and friends. We appreciate your support during this difficult time.
Kimura, one of the top wrestlers in the promotion, also starred on a Japanese Netflix reality show called “Terrace House” where a recent episode caused fans to turn on her and begin cyber-bullying.
We here at Pro Wrestling Sheet offer our most sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Never heard of her, but doing my googles of her she was a very beautiful young woman
Simply put, she was next. She was being positioned as the Ace of Stardom. Basically Rhea Ripley or Charlotte Flair. She would have been in NXT or AEW within the next 5 years. This girl had IT.
