What's the story behind this?

They apparently never broke character once during their entire try-out with WWE. There were similar reports during their time in TNA.

All I know is they had a try out last year when they left TNA and then I never heard anything else about it until they turned up on ROH.

Shame really, the WWE is crying out for a decent tag division.
I imagine this twitter rant didn't help their case:

quote:

It’s funny how everyone on the dirt sheets get so mad about unprotected chair shots. They say its to dangerous to the head. It’s to dangerous to the head?! Obviously. But if you guys were so worried you should be more worried about a normal back bump. Falling on the mat from any type of impact is like a small car crash. R heads bounce from the mat and it’s extremely more dangerous. Should we stop taking back bumps than? In my opinion it’s the same impact to the head. I should know because I’ve taken both before. But I’ve never gotten a concussion from chair shots. They’ve mostly been from bumps on the ring mat. Everything in wrestling is dangerous. If ppl were really concerned about us wrestlers health, than wrestling all together would be banned.
As Lance Storm said, "If you're hitting your head on the mat every time you take a back bump, you've been trained wrong".

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the last Young Bucks match I saw in ROH it was pretty noticeable that they never tucked their chins in.

It's like a hockey player never learning to keep their head up. You kind of deserve the concussions if you think you're so beyond fundamentals.

Former WWE superstar Chris Masters Tweeted a photo on Sunday afternoon that got a lot of people questioning his mental state and his well being.

Masters tweeted a shirtless picture of himself holding a gun to his head with the caption, "My only fear of death reincarnation!" If holding a gun to his head isn't a bad enough sign, he was also holding a drink in his other hand, which could mean he was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the stunt.

Masters posted an apology on Monday:

"I apologize to those who took the gun pic serious.Wasnt real!And I am not suicidal at all.But why are we all so uptight nowadays.Just a pic!"

My girlfriend and I met Crime Time at a WWE event a few years back. They were both very nice dudes. My girlfriend said she was a big fan, which she was, but then they asked her what the "Crime Time word of the week" was (or whatever they did on their WWE.com video). Of course we didn't know that and looked like FOOLS

Chris Masters has several poorly formatted thoughts to share about the reaction to his gun pics.

quote:

Considering wrestlings history and recent events I do regret that posting.I know the dark history of this Buiz.So to my fans I am sorry.

There ya go pic changed.But am I the only one who yearns for a society pre Janet nip slip,and 9-11.Weve become so sensitive and timid.

But to play devils advocate there is responsibility that comes with being a wrestler.Kids look at us as heroes.I have made some bad choices!

He says this despite it being almost a year since Matt Hardy went off the deep end and everyone was concerned about his well being until he said he wasn't serious.

...and that begat one of the best threads of the past year.

Chris Masters is a meathead. He isn't some hillbilly redneck with too much money like Matt Hardy, who also had this incredibly misguided amount of self worth. Masters is a pretty humble guy, but he's also a meathead doing a gang war storyline in TNA and in thinking everyone wants mature stuff in wrestling again, pulling out a gun was acceptable.

So I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Until I hear his concussion history.

So you're saying Chris Masters is really, really dumb? That's a relief.
