    these Chikara allegations are gross

    CHIKARA got me back into wrestling after a decade away, showed me wrestling could be fun again

    even did an interview with Quackenbush a couple weeks ago, and Ive looked up to him for the past decade as being the kind of trainer one should aspire to be

    I liked CHIKARA, too, And have pushed for them to be on CN or something kid related.

    Glad that never happened now ... bunch of sickos. Who targets children? Gross ...

    I think the greatest thing that Nattie could do is women's tag team wrestling a real staple of the wwe.

    Looking on Twitter, I found the story of Rita Chatterton, AKA Rita Marie, who was actually the first female ref in the WWF- WAY back in 1986. Never knew there were female refs back then (she may have been the only one), but I wasn't surprised to hear that she claimed that she was raped by Vince McMahon.

    I wouldn't think so. I think you can differentiate between the actual product and SOME of the people behind it. If it was a good product (and I didn't watch it so I cant say), and there's a fan base who might enjoy it I don't see the harm.

    Course, once they hypothetically have the library would they go an extra step and do some sort of documentary on Chiraka and it's problem? That could be scummy depending on the execution. There's potentailly a story there worth telling, though you risk coming off as exploiting it too.

    It is pretty amazing to think that a couple posts on instagram ended up toppling an entire wrestling promotion.

    how did renee got it , charley caruso is the one doing all the wwe backstage segments for wwe and renee was mostly confined to doing interviews on camera in her house doing all those backstage shows for fox/

    Nxt at the moment is putting on a better show than raw or smackdown for both men and women. wwe is just wasting bazler and bianca while nxt women division is still going strong,the main event between balor ,gargano and keith lee were great.

    Yeah Raw stands out like a sore thumb as far as booking the women poorly goes.

    Poor Renee, get well soon. And hopefully Moxley doesn't have it as well.

    Imagine if Renee got COVID from working Smackdown at the PC recently. And imagine being Moxley, leaving WWE, but still getting a dangerous virus because of their incompetence.

    The thing with the coronivirus is ya never know. Since the economy is starting to open up Renee could have gotten it from work at the PC... or from the gas station or the grocery story or a retaurante or whatever. Or obviously someone she was working with happened to get it and she just happened to have the bad luck. It's completely random that way.

    As far as the womans divison goes... I partially agree. The womans undercard isn't get a whole lot of attention. But the upside being the tag division is picking up and that's effecting all brands. Because Sasha and Bayley are actually defending the belts on all 3 brands as intended, segments go to them that otherwise might go to woman like Baszler or Biance who need it more. It's sort of a trade off. But an understandable one given the womans divisions top stars Charlotte and Becky are gone... they're clearly using Sasha and Bayley to fill that void in terms of star power.

    WWE's handling of this has been astounding in it's ineptness and tone deafness.
