fakeplastictrees Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 This is all sad. I don't want to play Pro Wrestling Doctor here, but I think Paige really needs to step away from it all. Its time for her to pull a Dave Chapelle on the wrestling world. No social media, no WWE, just time to step away for a bit. I feel like she is on the road to shaving her head bald and swinging an umbrella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 The evidence is damning at this point (would check out Bix's twitter) - both audio and the witness account. Her story about the fan throwing a drink on Del Rio to try to cover this up was really sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 "Check her bag, she’s got all the coke in it, it’s all hers." Stay classy... Again, GWF, great choice for a World Champ as you reboot the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Alberto's promo on Impact where he talks about not needing a reason to party comes off 100% more creepy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Also is it weird to think that the best thing for Paige at this point would be to go back on the road with WWE? It would get her away from him and this might be the one time where WWE's fetish for breaking up real life couples might be a good thing.

iamthedoctor Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Why doesnt WWE just fire her? It be the best thing in the long run and shes incredibly immature. Seriously she needs to grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Because WWE might be the only way she has out of what is increasingly looking like an abusive situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmmnx Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Yeah I think a lot of people in WWE care about her and cutting her completely loose isn't going to help her at all right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'd be curious to know how many of those people that care about her from WWE are still in communication with her and how frequently. This whole situation is so f'd, if I were WWE (and I'll admit, its kind of a heartless thing to do), I'd cut ties with her the same way they did with Angle. Was it the best thing for Angle's health? Probably not...but if the shit ever hits the fan (and I hope it doesn't), its going to be on the company to explain, "Well, she was under contract with us, but hasn't been on TV or touring in over a year, and she failed two Wellness tests, but she was also recovering from injury, and her friends and family advised her to leave her husband, but..." It is sometimes a really cold thing to do to let someone hit rock bottom or to let someone make a choice that you know could be really dangerous and harmful - but what other option does WWE realistically have? Is there really a chance that if they, say, made her RAW GM and had her touring with the company, she'd actually show up? I get the impression that things are very icy between the two sides, there's little to zero communication, and there are no plans to bring her back for the time being, healed or not.

sek69 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 If they do that and he ends up beating her to death it's not going to look good for them PR wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Why doesnt WWE just fire her? It be the best thing in the long run and shes incredibly immature. Seriously she needs to grow up. They've been kind of stuck with her. She's been hurt so they were probably keeping her around. Then the sex tape happened and there's bad optics there. Then this happens a couple of months later. They're probably just waiting until they don't have to take the PR hit for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakeplastictrees Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 WWE gave Punk his official papers on Punk's wedding day, fired Dawn Marie when she was pregnant, and ran a tribute video to a stunned arena right after Snuka's trial. This company has no heart. I wouldn't be surprised if WWE is just waiting until Paige's contract is up to quietly and quickly decide not to renew.

Jesse Ewiak Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Eh, even if you want to be cynical, it's best for her to be under contract with them until the film comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has she ever appreciated her job in WWE, theres probably thousand of womens in the indy scene who would love to get a position like she got.

Jimmy Redman Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I think it's more the Rock movie and her being in the news so often that is preventing WWE from firing her, not the fact that she's injured. I think Paige right now may be the first case in history where going back on the road with WWE would actually improve someone's personal life.

El-P Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Exactly. Hence the sarcasm, but it wasn't clear I guess. Really, the idea of building around Alberto was just not right to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
