Yup, sex crime ruins everyones lives, so the best answer is that no one should commit sex crimes... also other types of crime.

I dunno, some crime is pretty cool, like underage drinking and smoking.

Man, I was going to make a Cryme Tyme joke, but then I just got real loving depressed at just how goddamn racist that whole gimmick was...

Wanna hear a promo battle between Yeezy and Cena

Giving Kanye a live mic on Raw would be the most hillariously dumb thing the WWE has ever done. His rant in the middle of the ring would go down in history. He would probably end up in the hall of fame due to it

Or black people or people with accents, or women, or small muscled dudes. Really if your name isn't John Cena he gives no ducks about you

She's sort of taken the Bella's spot in a lot of the promotional stuff they send out. She plays really well from a marketing perspective, in the same way that AJ did for a while, so even when she's not being highlighted on the man product she's become really important to their corporate image.

I've been thinking this. It seems like She has been getting a hell of a push in the Total Divas marketing.

They are probably preparing for a Bella-less show and going to push Paige as the new reason to watch.

Wrestlemania doesn't count especially for participants in gimmick nostalgia acts.

They've held the title for close to a drat year right?

Honestly the way that the New Day was clowning the LoN they(LoN) probably should have won at WM. New Day has been cheating and playing the numbers game and has had pretty much 0 comeuppance.

I'm cool with it because they are awesome dudes. But yeah if this was anyone else there would be complaints

39 is not cold only if you are just coming out of cold as poo poo weather.

If your body is used to the -5-10 or so that Midwest winter's bring. Then when it warms up to 39 it seems warm.

but 39 when you are in a stadium, and in May is freezing.

I remember like 3 years ago illinois had a long string of sub zero temperatures, when it finally warmed up to like 20 degrees people were outside in like short sleeve shirts and poo poo.

100 degrees is not light jacket weather.

Neither is -400

Eh, -400 it honestly doesn't matter, you are hosed anyway. Might as well wear a light jacket.

St. Louis is one of the few WWE arenas with ice still in at this time of year

and St. Louis is usually out of the playoffs by this time of the year anyway.

It's a complete anomaly.

Today I sit and fly home and for the first time in years feel absolutely free. I will start by saying I did request to be taken off of WWE television until myself and Vince could get a yes or no on a new deal. This has been going on since my IC Title run and had been nothing but a major strain on my life as all I ever wanted to do was work for WWE. I was told to head home until we agree or not agree to specific terms and contrary to reports it isn’t over money or a bus that stuff was settled a while ago. It comes down to a major problem I have with not only WWE but wrestling in general.

Wrestling is pre determined, we as performers know before we go out to that ring or perform a backstage scene who is winning and losing etc or have a general idea of what we are going to say. It blows my mind how in a sport which is pre determined from a company standpoint winners are paid so much more than the losers. Every single person who works for WWE from top to bottom is absolutely just as valuable as the next. The winners cannot win unless the losers go out there and agree to lose to them.

It blows my mind that in this day and age though we still adhere to this formula. Obviously things have always been this way, but does that make them right? Times have changed and our goal as humans should be to evolve and learn from our past and the past of others so we could make this world a better place. Why is it a guy who is told he is going to go out and lose and does everything he is told be paid not only less, but much less than said winner over a period of time. Every single performer for WWE sacrifices the same amount of time from home and their families and every single man or women goes out and does what they are told. Looking at this formula though losers turn into what fans like to call jobbers and their value decreases in the companies eyes and before you know it they get released. For what? For doing exactly as they are told!

Why not pay the talent equally? The winners have more MERCH as it is or are supposed to anyways so they get that extra perk, but why make the guy who is told to and agrees to lose earn less and sacrifice spots in big pay per view match ups etc. This is one of the major problems with wrestling and WWE today. Most guys take great satisfaction in helping making other talent, the bitching and the moaning we always hear about stems from the fact they know they are ultimately over time going to make less and live in fear of being released.

I am proud to say I have never gone to change a finish and have gladly took pride in helping put over other talent. Hell look at my pay per view record of 12-26 and you will see that has been the pattern of my career. I have always been confident in my ability and work ethic to being my best every day and ultimately always felt that by doing good it was the right thing to do. Personally seeing my money go down over the years though even though I was working as much as ever and being denied magazine covers and other projects as well as watching my role diminish no matter what I did or how hard I tried takes its toll on a human. Being told no matter how hard I work or how good I get doesn’t always pay off is something I loving refuse to ever believe in my life. I am a creative being and to be restricted time and time again is no way to live life. There is nothing I cannot do and I know no matter what comes of this situation I am going to be just fine. It isn’t soley about money, it is about commitment. Commitment to a guy who loving cares and who loves this more than anything in the world and wants to know that his passion his efforts and his determination to constantly improve is going to be recognized and taken care of.

WWE may very well release me, which if it is the case so be it. If we can work things out a lot needs to change as I am not living in fear and creatively cannot continue to live a life that limits me creatively. I have many other interests and passions and have been very smart with my finances over the years. I thank every WWE superstar from top to bottom for their sacrifices and for working with me. The world is an amazing place and there is more than just a WWE universe there is The Universe and I will prove one way or another over time I am the greatest big guy in the universe!
