Wrestling News & Rumours Thread ***NO CHAT***

That's a bit of a shock and really makes things very interesting. I'm sure she has money in the bank (reference not intended) and atm Trips still extremely high up to the chain

Reckon there could be more twists in this enthralling tale

She's Snoop's cousin.

Honestly I don't think she's worth the hype.

There are a few things that strike me about Sasha Banks and her success over the years.

1) Triple H picked her out as one of the Four Horsewomen of NXT and built a women's division around them which grew over time. One could argue her success came from WWE's hype machine but also because she's been a big part of the women's division for years being presented as one of their top female wrestlers and has been in some of their most memorable matches. It's hard not to see her as a big deal after all the exposure she's had from WWE and it's not surprising that a lot of wrestling promotions are interested in her. She is a Four Horsewomen after all.

2) Her skills are subject to debate. Some might consider her overrated, but she has delivered over the years inside the ring as well. She also has a fairly marketable gimmick if you ask me that can tap into any portion of the WWE fanbase, and her charisma is pretty decent. I mean she does seem popular with the casual fans and it's really the casual who WWE should be focusing on.

3) While her personality might be considered arrogant, maybe even delusional at times, it's also what helped her achieve success in WWE. Wrestling has always seemed to be geared towards the idea that "ego is good" and it can't help that WWE encourages that kind've mindset. WWE is probably just as much to blame for Sasha's personality because they probably enabled her. Plus nearly all the top stars in WWE history had an ego and some would probably be considered much worse than Sasha. Is she likable? Not really, but she shows confidence and conviction in herself, and wrestling fans seem to love those types of wrestlers. It is also why CM Punk became so successful I think.

Other than that, all I can say is that it's going to be interesting to see how other wrestling promotions deal with Sasha's ego. Is she gonna pull a hissy fit every time she's asked to lose a match? Or when she isn't happy about something? Or will the other wrestling promotions cater to her every whim? I mean if she was willing to walk out of WWE, who knows what other promotions she might walk from if she's unhappy? She seems kind've untrustworthy to me, but it wouldn't stop other wrestling promotions from hiring her I think

Re: Sasha Banks.

Agreed. Over rated and comes off as so egotistical. The type that if you were around her she'd do your head in.

Let's be honest tho lads, she has a rocking body and a great arse. I fear that for many a male wrestling fan that is enough and her selling point.

D'von clear your table!

On paper, Stone Cold Steve Austin Vs Brock Lesnar would be a dream feud but given Austin's age and time spent out of the ring, I don't know if it would meet people's expectations though. I guess the selling point of the match is that it could be more of a spectacle like Rock/Hogan at WM18 rather than a traditional wrestling match.

There’s loads of people working there and you’d think someone would do a quick Google search to double check. It happened in 2015 when Becky and Charlotte and Sasha debuted on the main roster and the original name was something less then PG.

edit: they mention this in the story actually.

😁 ..

Sorry @Necro but I didn't post here as no "chat" allowed and I thought a separate thread on the ppv was needed, apologies I'll know in future

When will MITB general sale tickets be on sale lads?

Yeh assumed they’d be snapped up. Getting back into WWE recently and wouldn’t mind going over - have seen enough UFC live and withered from it - never been to anything other than a house show for Pro Wrestling

Summerslam is headed to Ford Field in Detroit on August 5th

Had a stroke apparently

My thoughts and prayers are with him and his loved ones. Let's hope he pulls through
