Ambrose I can agree with. The others are great on mic but look so average.. Not a fan of fat wrestlers. Sandow seems ruined at the moment from what I've seen, such a shame.

So his fiancee leaked a naked photo of him.. Was she hacked also?

by Onyx Tue 10 Feb 2015, 06:13

Nah, Sandow's one of the most over superstars on the show. Even gets loud pops in cities with dead crowds. Goat mic skills, goat acting, charismatic, entertaining, should get a main event push soon imo.

Bray Wyatt, same as above. Just needs a decent storyline in order to progress his stagnant character. A take over story would be good imo.

Also yeh, apparently Rollins' gf wasn't hacked, it was her that actually posted it.

HHH tomorrow:

Unfortunately we've had to come to terms with the release of WWE superstar Colby Lopez (Seth Rollins) as an 8 year old typing his name into google is bad for business.

As noted, there was relationship drama on social media last night as nude photos of Seth Rollins and NXT Diva Zahra were posted on Rollins’ social media accounts, apparently by his fiancee.

It appears there will be no heat within WWE on Rollins for the incident. WWE officials believe that Rollins’ social media accounts were “obviously” hacked. WWE officials felt that because the photo was re-posted several times after he initially deleted it, that he wasn’t the culprit.

WWE issued a memo to the roster after last night’s RAW and requested that they do not discuss or make reference to the situation publicly because doing so would be “insensitive” to Rollins.

According f4wonline, There is a rumor circulating around WWE that Vince McMahon is looking to alter the Dean Ambrose gimmick slightly going into his feud with Bad News Barrett, giving it a more ''Cool, Vegas gambler'' type edge.

Triple H's NXT: Rivals conference call.

* Triple H starts by talking about the Seth Rollins nude photo leak, calling it the "Colby Lopez situation." He calls it an "unfortunate personal incident."

* He puts over Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy, and how they channeled promise into success. He says they're a very exciting team.

* Triple H talks about Finn Balor and Adrian Neville, calling them the "poster boys of the future of NXT." He also talks about NXT touring in Ohio during the Arnold Classic. He hopes to do that more in the future, saying he'd like NXT to be a full touring brand by 2016.

* Triple H is asked if Vince McMahon wanting an NXT guy in the middle of a feud could cause problems, but says he hopes it happens because it means the NXT angles are effective.

* HHH doesn't like the idea of doing NXT Title matches on WWE TV or PPV, as he thinks it would ruin some of the charm of the NXT brand.

* When asked about how WWE Divas are used as opposed to the NXT women wrestlers, Triple H says that NXT has a much different audience than RAW, and they look at female competitors differently.

* Triple H is asked about how Hideo Itami is handling the move to Florida. He says it's a rough transition, and he's still waiting for the light bulb to go off with Itami.

* Kevin Owens is given a ton of credit. Triple H told him to just do what he does, because he already knows how to. He said they're more about teaching what it takes to sell out stadiums.

* Triple H says the morale in NXT is really high. He hopes that seeing the NXT guys selling merchandise lights a fire under main roster talents to get better.

* Triple H is asked about Zayn and Owens' rivalry prior to their NXT run. "I don't want to overly get into it, but I dont pretend it didn't happen. Amazing 12 year story between these guys," he says. He also assures callers they aren't ignoring the past, but they aren't dwelling on it either.

* Ronda Rousey's quick ascension is compared to WWE Divas. Triple H says he hopes that women become a hit overnight on WWE programming, but it isn't likely.

* Triple H says Chad Gable and Solomon Crowe will be on TV shortly, and they have "about 65-70 people" in NXT.

* Triple H says they're "making transitions" with Alex Riley, and he's expressed different interests in them. He seems optimistic that Riley will have "cool" things happening.

* Bill Apter asks about Vince McMahon's feelings about NXT. Triple H says that Vince hasn't watched it with him, and usually has it on while he's working. He says that Vince is proud, though.

* Triple H singles out William Regal as the preeminent guy when as it pertains to scouting out independent wrestlers.

Triple H closes the conference call by marveling about Bill Apter's physique, after Apter puts over Triple H's workout DVD.

It was reported on Tuesday morning that there was apparently no heat coming down on Seth Rollins after the nude photo leaks as WWE officials really believed that his social media accounts were hacked.

Reddit’s MetsFan4Ever, who has broke some WWE stories in the past, reports that there’s talk of Rollins being fined a small amount of money because of the feeling that while it was likely a mistake on his part, he originally leaked the first photo.

Triple H was reportedly against the idea fining Rollins in any way but Vince McMahon felt someone needs to be held responsible and because he can’t punish any of the women involved, it had to be Rollins. Some within WWE have been expecting Rollins to hold his Money In the Bank briefcase until June, then cash it in to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion but some believe now that he won’t be champion any time soon, according to this new report.

It’s been noted how the Rollins debacle got a lot of mainstream media coverage on Tuesday. WWE officials were said to be specifically upset about Elvis Duran talking about it for 15 minutes on his morning radio show, which is syndicated nationally and is one of the most-listened to shows in New York City.

We noted on Tuesday that WWE officials sent out a memo to all talents after RAW, telling them not to talk about the Rollins situation publicly. MetsFan adds that short meetings were held at the SmackDown tapings in Dayton last night and at company headquarters in Stamford on Tuesday to reinforce proper social media etiquette. Talents were reportedly told to immediately remove any photos from their phones that would be considered risky.

I reached out to a WWE representative for comment and they said the report of Rollins possibly being issued a fine and the social media meetings being held is untrue.

Will watch NXT. Did not watch the last special live and immediately regretted it. Neville vs Zayn was the best one on one match of the year. It had a great storyline too.

by Onyx Thu 12 Feb 2015, 02:42

Anyone watching? Neville vs Finn Balor about to start.
