UPDATE: Sasha Banks Returns To WWE

[reigun]

You hit the nail on the head though. I’ve quit jobs without notice after getting fed up with bullshyt from management on several occasions, and I’m sure that more than a few people in here have. Why should we expect the wrestlers who are subjected to far worse work conditions than many of us deal with to still stick around?

I remember I once read an article about a small burger joint that committed itself to paying its employees $18 an hour and providing them with vacation time and reasonable hours. What they found was not only did they retain employees longer, but their work force was happier and delivered a higher quality of service. This resulted in them doing such good business the higher than average for the food industry pay didn't matter.

People write all these articles about how young people these days are lazy and wondering why they job hop so much when the answer is so simple: if you pay people what they're worth and treat them well, they'll stick around. Yes there are a lot of lazy motherfukkers who just don't wanna work, but most people I'd wager just want a job that pays them well and doesn't leave them totally dead inside.

Applying that to WWE - cause obviously wrestlers ain't working for 18 bucks an hour - people like Luke Harper or Dean Ambrose were willing to an insane schedule and destroy their bodies for this company probably forever. All they asked for was a chance to perform their craft and be in stories that excite them. That's it, and given that this company produces 5-9 hours of live TV a week, it shouldn't have been that hard to do that for either of them. Especially Ambrose, who was someone they hand picked to be a top guy.

Sure there are a lot of guys just fine sitting in the back collecting check, and others who will do whatever Vince asks because who cares. But for those that legitimately care, and have the talent to back it up, why not give them an honest chance?

The problem with Sasha is is that she's too much of a mark to actually quit that place.

Same with Bayley.

They both grew up wanting to be in the WWE and had no problem telling everybody that and for some reason I think it makes Vince respect them less for some reason, and even some of the guys on here always rag on guys for taking "playfighting" too seriously, like you're not supposed to take your job seriously or something.

It's crazy, but I think Brock Lesnar is more respected than a lot of guys because it's so obvious that he doesn't care.

Well, we know Vince has always hated that he's a wrestling promoter. I think that one fact is at the core of everything he does. Especially now that he's in his twilight years and it's obvious that WWE is going to be his only legacy.

While I think it's largely about knowing he can exploit wrestlers' love of the business, I also think he genuinely dislikes that anyone actually cares about this shyt.

Gossip-y though it may be, I am highly interested in seeing a shoot interview that goes into detail on why they hate each other.

The women's division always portrays themselves as this unbreakable sisterhood, so it's weird to see two women be like "fukk that bytch" so openly.

This as close as we gettin’.

On another note I think it’s time to say goodbye to Daniel Bryan. Wasn’t in the draft and was not on TV for the last 2 weeks. Elias replaces him on the house show against Kofi. I think he got concussed again at mania and it’s officially over.

If these reports are true then she’s contemplating quitting because of management lying to her and keeping her in the dark about major plans til the last second, and moving her best friend out of her work space. Quitting in light of that makes sense.

But TSC really thought it was about her losing too many fake matches, even though she’s never been jobbed out and consistently gets screentime

Vince loves real heat and starting shyt I hope he books them and they become shawn and brett level fued.

“The reason I’m leaving is you people, because after I’m gone, you’re still gonna pour money into this company. I’m just a spoke on the wheel, and the wheel is gonna keep turning, I understand that. Vince McMahon is gonna make money despite himself. He’s a millionaire who should be a billionaire...”

I've been at the same job for 14 years. For years I was one of their two most important employees. They'd pile tons of shyt on my plate. When I got fed up I went straight to them and told them I'm out if shyt don't change. It lead to big raises, changes in work conditions, eventually me just being able to work from home and make my own schedule. The point being you can't just sit back and take the shyt. If the company knows they have talent they'll work to accommodate that talent and if they date then it's time to bounce. For some reason Sasha standing up for herself and saying shyt got to change has got a bunch of the WWE stans all worked up when she's doing exactly what she should if she's that unhappy. Give em a chance to change shyt and if not bounce.

This could just end up being a revival situation

Ok here’s a title or mitb win...now shut up

And Revival tag title run was trash and then rinse and repeat.

But has been jobbed out and screen time is meaningless if it doesn't lead to anything.

I wouldn’t feel sorry for Sasha if that happened, it’s like going back to an abusive spouse after they promised to be better and they’re good for a month but after that they’re acting up again.

Losing to Ronda Rousey and Charlotte in built up championship matches isn’t being jobbed out. Jobbed out would be losing to Liv Morgan or Nattie in a 3 minute Raw match with no story.

 

[luckyse7enz]

Damn....so are they going to do Baszler, Duke, Shaffir against Charlotte, Becky, and Bayley since they're now down a "Horsewoman" on both sides?

Way back when, I was wondering if they were trying to build a future Survivor Series around that angle. Would be a waste if they didn't pay that off. There's a lot of good footage for the build....

He hasn't accepted that.

That's why the XFL is coming back.

He was always going to be a part timer. That's what his deal was.

You don't think Meltzer & Alvarez and those cats would be reporting on that if it was the case?

Mikaze probably sweating bullets "AEW will take you but I think you just fukked my money up"

Mike Johnson of PWInsiderElite.com commented on Sasha Banks’ status with WWE:

“There is a reason why she is so unpopular in the locker room at times. The general consensus of numerous people I have spoken to in the company was she wasn’t thrilled about her and Bayley being split up and she was even less thrilled about losing the tag titles feeling that they should have had a longer run to establish them and instead of kind of keeping it to herself and she probably made it too obvious which allowed anybody who didn’t like her or politically wasn’t a fan to use that against her. That led to her kind of taking a sabbatical.”

“Whether she was sent home or she decided to go home under her own accord that story has changed based on the person I have spoken to and the company is basically gonna let her cool off and bring her back as long as she wants to come back.”

“So she’s under contract. She can’t walk out. She could ask for her release, it doesn’t mean that she’s gonna get one, but it’s still up in the air in terms of where she’ll be when she returned.”

I guarantee you that she's only unpopular with the kiss ass cliques, and the less talented wrestlers on the roster.
