TIL if I want to go backstage at a WWE event I can just do it since they don't have security or anything.

DADDY MAGIC

Who can I recklessly speculate big timed Lio Rush on the european tour based on a single results link:

quote:

- Sasha Banks, Bayley, Nia Jax & Dana Brooke defeated The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan) & Alicia Fox (w/ Alexa Bliss)
- The B-Team defeated The Revival
- Braun Strowman defeated Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre in a handicap match
- AOP (w/ Drake Maverick) & Jinder Mahal (w/ Sunil Singh) defeated Apollo Crews, Heath Slater & Rhyno
- Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey defeated Nikki Bella to retain her title
- Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins defeated Baron Corbin to retain his title

THE LIAR
Skimming the thread here what I'm gathering from this is that Daniel Bryan is water. Rovert is Daniel Bryan more like a waterbender from Avatar The Last Airbender or is he made of water like Liquidator from Darkwing Duck. Is there heat on Lio Rush because Daniel Bryan returned to his natural water state to conserve energy and Lio Rush refused to carry him and nobody's been able to find him since Wrestlemania 35 because he was just stuck in a cooler somewhere in Metlife Stadium?

The leaders Black mentioned when he came up to the main roster were Roman, Finn, and Bray.

Coincidentally one of those leaders was involved with a match with Lio Rush, and Rush got in trouble.

No doubt about it. Meanwhile the fans that won't forgive him for this and the locker room that won't talk to him anymore over it forgave Rhea immediately for something far worse since her "apology"

can't get a good grasp on how lio operates based on the online informations that have come out. But he is very correct about treating newer people poorly as though they haven't earned being there just by being there. "i went through it so you have to, too" is a very bad setup for anything

Stuff like this is what reminds me that Vince namechecks MLK as his hero.

Which is ridiculous, since we all know it's Gary Strydom.

Rhea Ripley is a part of NXT UK, an area of the world that is also linked to that leader involved in a match with Lio Rush on the tour Lio Rush got in trouble for.

It just keeps adding up.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

For what it's worth, they probably have people for whom that fits their job description, and the NFL, MLB and NBA hire people to do this, as well as carry bags, and rookies being expected to carry water, bags or do other hazing things is still pretty common with a lot of teams.

WWE backstage sucks for sure and people are 100% correct it's bullshit, but the Rush thing is just a part of toxic locker room culture in general.
