[QUOTE=BeastieRunner;263613]Even though it will be removed from her record, even if it's a false arrest, you work visa is gone when you get arrested in the States.
So ...
In the last five years Cena has been champion, revenue rose only once, which was his title reign from Bragging Rights 2009 through TLC of that year when he lost to Sheamus. The following four title reigns have seen drops and, “What’s more, the company’s income tends to rebound shortly after those title runs come to an end.”
Orton as champion sees revenues climb, and Punk’s record title reign was up and down and not consistent in revenue gains or drops.
Randy Orton truly is best for business.[/QUOTE]
As he pointed out, he didn't look at a lot.
Like what was most pushed at the time, or house show business. Orton started to bomb badly when he was headlining house shows, and he hasn't really been ratings draw either. His merch sales aren't through the roof, but when he's a heel that's not entirely fair (though Punk did well with merch while a heel).
I think the key is the champ doesn't matter to revenue.

It's fucking weird is what it is, you think the website jumped the gun maybe?

This more or less confirms the E is/was wanting a Rollins/Bryan program.[/QUOTE]
The Rollins/Bryan segments were the best part of the Shield/Hell No matches, I'd love to see them get half an hour at a PPV to tear down the house.
[QUOTE=master of read;263670]no wonder sheamus and barrett work so well together.[/QUOTE]
Two votes for Alberto? But you already knew that.
Wink.

I'm betting there was talk of letting her go and someone mistook that talk as is was fact and posted it on the site.

The way they phrased it sounds like they changed their mind, saving face because this makes them come off as amateur?
Id like to think someone said "So Swagger got a dui and caught with weed, cameron bribed a cop and got a dui...actually, 25% of our roster has gotten dui's which could lead to them killing someone, and we fired her for maybe stealing an ipad case?"

The weirdest thing on the list is that none of these guys have had their best matches with the person they picked except RVD and Rollins.
I imagine Cena would have said Punk if he still worked for the company, those two had amazing chemistry.

I was honestly surprised Cena didn't say Orton.
RANDOM NEWS RUMOR TIME:
Apparently the plan for Rusev is to build him up for Cena-lite ... I mean Sheamus.

I was surprised Danielson said Sheamus. I would have expected him to say either Punk or Cena.

But you can't chant USA for Sheamus....Oh wait. Audiences don't care. They'll chant USA for anyone vs a foreign heel.

They were taking a beating on Social Media--lots of people calling them hypocrites and stuff. Maybe they didn't want the negative backlash?

As noted, WWE announced that they reinstated Emma just hours after they announced she was released due to the arrest for larceny at a Walmart on Monday.
TMZ reports that their WWE sources say "officials quickly realized they overreacted, because their action would open the floodgates to fire a gaggle of wrestlers for fighting outside the ring, DUI and all sorts of other misdeeds."

So after he beats Sheamus he can lose to Cena.
Because you don't build guys for a midcarder, you build them for a main eventer.
