The one and only reason I don't want WWE to fully die is so I get to hear Dave and Bryan try to explain Raw each week. It's genuinely hilarious

Naomi on the New Day podcast posted:

On being told by WWE that they don't want her to wear her natural hair: "It was a conscious decision. That�s something I�ve always been proud of and have always been aware of, to represent women like me, our culture, and our people. Not just being a feminist or being a woman, but also because I am black and I look the way I look and talk the way I talk, there are people who connect with me differently and identify with me because of those things. I remember when I first came in and I wanted to wear my natural hair and they were like, �We want you to look this way.� I showed them an old picture and I had long, straight hair, and that�s the look they were wanting me to go with. I was like, �That�s fine, to get in the door and to get where I need to go, I�ll look the part and be the part, but once I make it, I�m going to be me.� I finally feel like I got to that point of, �I don�t care, like it or don�t like it, I�m rocking my hair like this.� With everything going on, that�s something I wanted to do, not just for myself, but for the culture, to show we�re beautiful. It was something that needed to be seen and done, a lot was said without being said."

STING 64: Oct 20, 2006

quote:

Sonya Deville says she stood feet away from a man who had snuck onto her property with intent to harm she and Mandy Rose, but luckily they got away without being hurt.

Tampa Bay Times shared details from the court petition filed by Deville, real name Daria Berenato, regarding an incident at her home over the weekend involving an obsessed stalker who drove from South Carolina to Florida with plans to kidnap her.

Berenato says she went to bed around 1:15 am, while guest Mandy Rose aka Amanda Saccomanno slept in another room. The security alarm went off around 2:15 am and showed a family room door had been opened. She then woke up her guest and went to check on the door.

As she was ensuring the door had been locked, Berenato says she spotted Phillip A. Thomas II on her back porch and screamed �What are doing, what do you want?� Instead of responding though, he started walking towards the WWE star.

�That is when I realized this person was not here to rob me, he was there to hurt me,� Deville wrote in the petition. They then rushed out of the house and called police.

After leaving �Daria pulled up video footage on her phone from security cameras which showed Thomas followed her into the house, but thought she ran upstairs giving them enough time to escape.

Once she learned the identity of the stalker from police, Berenato says she looked for his social media accounts and found a Twitter page without a profile photo that seemed similar to his public page. The last message from this account said, �Look outside, baby, by your pool. I�m here. I�m gonna kill that little b�- you have inside with you.�

Another said he had found her address, which was included in the tweet.

The sender also threatened to decapitate or go after her friends/relatives by name in other messages, as well as describe sex acts. One message included a picture of a penis.

�The defendant admitted that his intention was to take Mrs. Berenato hostage by spraying her (with) pepper spray, binding her hands with the zip ties, and wrapping duct tape around her arms to prevent from fighting back,� the prosecution motion explains, according to Tampa Bay Times. �He stated that he intended to keep Mrs. Bernato hostage, preventing her from attending a planned event schedule for the following week, and that he was not going to leave her residence without her answering all of his questions.�

The event likely being referenced is SummerSlam, where Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose are set to face-off in a hair vs. hair match.

Berenato�s handwritten request for a temporary injunction against stalking violence was granted.

Thomas remains behind bars on felony charges of armed kidnapping, aggravated stalking and armed burglary of a dwelling, as well as criminal mischief (a misdemeanor). A hearing on the prosecution motion to prevent Thomas� release on bail is scheduled for Thursday.

Let me spin the narrative correctly here so that the WWE knows they�re doing great and the fans are still engaged.

drat, 1.5m viewers that�s 1.5m more than 0. That�s actually very impressive and it�s proof that Underground is working!

Without Underground and everything they�re doing, it could be way worse! Keep up the great work and I�ll see you folks on Monday!

Edit: I�ll also make this customizable for when we hit 750,000 viewers. And maybe less. Who knows!
