Nah you’re just like the Ppl who selectively have forgotten that Bianca was supposed to be in Rhea’s spot. It was always intended to be Bianca / Jade. So by your logic, you would have said “omggggg😰 whyyyy is Bianca Cena in another Mania title match she’s using her influence”

Go ahead and say “nah dats different”

idc about this shit at all but the whole “WM tickets” discourse is low key misleading because they are almost sold out. They BEEN moving those tickets. Outside of the cost of the event itself, the whole conversation around this has been blown outta proportion

TKO are the ones panicking over the fact a 60,000 seat venue isn’t sold out back to back nights two-three months in advance with ticket prices costing you your liver, kidneys, house, car, and your first child….in THIS economy

but when it’s showtime, 98% of those seats will be filled. niggas acting like WM is finna take place in a half empty stadium lol

Bianca gets a pass since she fell back and was in the midcard for a while, I would have had an issue if she came back after a year and got a title match.
 
Rhea was living her best life with her Harajuku Homie, the girl had a serious smile on her face. The moment she was forced into the picture with Jade that smile vanished.

Stop blaming that girl for doing her job as directed by her superiors.

What are yall doing?

Stop being weird.
 
It was announced today that WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will be getting his own ice cream flavor.

Yep, somehow Rhodes gets an official ice cream before CM Punk, who many years ago famously campaigned for the return of the old WWE Ice Cream bars.

Parade is reporting that starting on 3/16, Wal-Mart will be exclusively carrying a new Drumstick ice cream cone featuring Rhodes on the packaging, titled Red, White & Blueberry.

The flavor will feature blueberry sauce, strawberry dairy dessert, white coating, and rice crisps.
 
Card...subject...to...change.

Naomi gets pregnant...Pivot

Bianca breaks fingers...Pivot

Seth gets injured...Pivot

Bron/Bronson gets injured...Pivot

This isn't anything new. Rhea main eventing at WM again? Yes....b/c who else you gonna put that's gonna sell tickets?? Oh so niggas wanna see Nat...Maxxine...B-Fab...or Ivey in that spot huh? Lol...stop it.

I've said this before and will continue sayin it...TKO is in the business of making M-O-N-E-Y. Plain & simple.

Imagine the execs sittin around the conference room like...

"You know what...we're tired of the top talents being in these WM main events. Let shake things up by putting Michin and Austin Theory in the main event instead. Now THAT will sell tickets!"

Smh & lol.

Rhea was ALWAYS gonna be the plan B option if Bianca wasn't cleared. Just like Cody was gonna be the option for that title match. Why? B/c of the M-O-N-E-Y. TKO got UFC debts to pay off and WWE is their ATM. Plain & simple
 
An absolutely horrific incident played out in real time for everyone watching and streaming Ohio Valley Wrestling's weekly series Rise last night.

During a multi-man main event, OVW Rush Champion Brendan Balling came offf the top with the idea that he was going for a flying forearm on heel Tony Evans. Edwards pulled referee Dallas Edwards into the fray and when Balling connected with Edwards, he struck his head on the mat and was legitimately knocked out with his body seizing up and going into convulsions.

For some reason that seems insane in hindsight, Balling and Evans continued performing around Edwards, who's arms and legs were now twitching.

Then, in an absolute disgusting and inexcusable moment for even the smallest independent promotion, but much worse because of Ohio Valley Wrestling's history and legacy, Evans grabbed Edwards by his pants and rolled him completely over and away from the talents, then used his foot to push him further. There is no way to downplay this - for Evans to have been that reckless in the moment was mind-blowing to watch and could have easily caused further, perhaps permanent injury had there been a spinal cord or neck issue. Even if he was portraying a heel while grabbing Edwards, it showed a complete lack of common sense and compassion.

At this point, someone hit the ring and the match was stopped with the promotion then announcing they were going off the air due to Edwards' medical situation.

The incident can be seen at this link, but be forewarned, it is frightening and was the absolute worst moment in the history of Ohio Valley Wrestling, which has achieved trade school certification in Kentucky.

Fightful.com's Sean Ross Sapp tweeted out the following statement from Edwards' girlfriend:

"Please keep Dallas in your thoughts as your day begins. I am not going to provide much more information at this time except to the parties who already know, but last night resulted in a brain injury that is being monitored and will continue to be monitored by doctors here. Seeing all the support you guys have already given is amazing and I didn’t want to leave everyone without some kind of update."

OVW has not yet commented on the incident.

The local blackout of WrestleMania has been lifted.

In recent months, Fightful Select got word from a number of sources in Las Vegas that WWE and Joe Hand Promotions had informed them that they were instituting a blackout of WrestleMania watch parties within 50 miles of the venue. The same thing was put in place for a number of venues near Elimination Chamber in Chicago, but it appears that won't be an issue in Las Vegas.

Late in the week, Fightful was told there was positive momentum on watch parties being allowed in Vegas. On Friday, Circa Las Vegas' Stadium Swim revealed that the ban had been lifted, giving way to the watch parties for locations that license the PLE through Joe Hand Promotions. As recently as a week before some venues had spoken to WWE and believed WWE would stand firm.

WWE had originally decided on the blackout in order to help boost ticket sales for events, which used to be a far more common practice in sports. We're told that over the last number of weeks, there were several casinos, hotels, and general tourist areas that had expressed frustration over the ban, as had a number of officials in the city. One that spoke to us on the condition of anonymity said that when the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Board of Directors committed to a site fee for WrestleMania, it was to generate economic impact for the entire city, as opposed to just WWE and Allegiant Stadium.

Referee Dallas Edwards, who was hurt during last night's OVW event, announced the following on his Facebook page:

"Hey guys! I know everyone seems to know about the scary incident last night at OVW.

I have been evaluated by a hospital and I have a concussion as well as subdural hematoma (brain bleed).

With that being said, I have made the decision to take some needed time away to get my life and health back in good spirits!

I appreciate all of the support everyone has been offering but as far as money goes, I am grateful to be in a position that I can manage an accident like this.

In lieu of donations, I instead implore all of my fellow workers to get some sort of training in assisting another's life.

Being in the position before, it's very important to be educated in all scenarios relating to injury, illness, or condition in the ring, especially when we're performing.

I am not mad at anyone or anything other than the situation as a whole, and that I've been sitting for about 24 hours straight in a hospital lol.

As far as updates go, I am getting a CT Scan in the morning and if that goes well, I'll be home!

Thank you to everyone who has reached out or stopped by it means more than any of you know.

Love, Dally"
