It had been two days since they decided to walk out. Some would say that it was career suicide leaving the biggest wrestling promotion in North America. They would disagree. While the money was good, they considered it dirty money as the values and ethics going on backstage was something that they could not stand for. Management was going in a new direction, not to mention broken promises and hypocrisies. There was active bullying that was being tolerated and limitations on creativity. There was a time for a change and that time was long overdue.
“So, welcome to being funemployed” Austin teased donning a term used by Joey Ryan.

I was told that I was too small, that I could never wrestle in the WWE. When I made it, I was told that I would be a mid-carder at best, that a guy like me can’t be in the main-event, can’t become WWE Champion. At the 2016 Royal Rumble, I became WWE Champion, and I was told, that I didn’t deserve it, that I was just a Seth Rollins 2.0. They told me I won't stand a chance against Roman Reigns; I’m tired of what they said. At WrestleMania 32 I will walk in and out of Dallas as WWE World-Heavyweight Champion, and no one is going to stop me, that’s what I say.- Austin Blake

This week, I'm sitting down with the new, WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Austin Blake." Cole stated. "Austin, welcome and congratulations are in order."
Slowly, the camera panned over to Austin. The new champion casually sat in his chair. Adorning his shoulder, was his coveted championship. Austin wore a knit beanie upon his head, and his attire consisted of a dark blue sweater over a white dress shirt, black pants and a pair of black boots. "Thank you

Lowering down the top rope, Austin smiled as he sent Sheamus tumbling to the outside. Slowly, he used that same rope to leisurely bring himself to a vertical base. Tilting his head to the side, he looked over his shoulder at Roman Reigns who’s managed to survive with his WWE Championship thus far, despite being ambushed by the League of Nations at the hands of Vince McMahon. Making it to the final two last year, Austin knew that he could not rush in. The Royal Rumble match was a marathon, not a sprint and it was best to strategically pick one’s spot. Austin was as calculated and dev

“Last night was crazy; you should have been there.” Leon London protested, walking down the hallway with Nolan. Unlike his partner, Leon lived for the night-life; he was young and very much single, which meant he was going to live it up as long as he could.
“I don’t think so, brother.” Nolan chuckled. “It’s not my thing, but I’m glad you had fun,” He admitted. “Hopefully in between your escapades you were able to get some scouting done for our title match in a couple of weeks.” Nolan was more focused than ever. Last year was a big year for h

Grabbing two handfuls of Tyler Breeze’s hair, the “Show-off” slowly brought his gorgeous opponent up to his feet. Intensity was in Ziggler's eyes as he spun the man around, delivering one of his signature neck-breakers. While Breeze was incapacitated, the former world-champion backed himself into the nearest corner, stomping his left boot on the mat.
“Tuning up the band.” Michael Cole voiced. Like a few stars in the WWE, Dolph Ziggler had a super kick in his arsenal. However, only Dolph dared to “tune up the band.” as a tribute to the Hall of Famer,

A smile crossed Remy's face as she stopped at the sound of Hayden's voice. Ever since their brief time in TNA, Hayden has always been one of Remy's biggest supporters, and the last thing she wanted to do was disappoint him. Hayden was more than a boss to Remy, he was someone who she saw as a friend and even a mentor at times.
"It feels...right." Remy spun around. "Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the year of commentary. I’ve learned a lot and have grown so much, but,” she hesitated.
"You're a wrestler." Hayden finished.
"Yeah."
With a smile of his own, Hayden pulled Remy into his arms for

“When the starrsss align, our leader will return,” Stardust stated. For some time, the cosmic villain had aligned himself with the Ascension. Neither Conner nor Viktor had the slightest clue in what Stardust was talking about, and they were hesitant to ask. “Aren’t you excited?” Stardust jumped for joy. “We’ll no longer be banished to mediocrity.” He scowled at the thought.
After sharing a glance with Viktor, Conner decided he’d speak up. “Who is this leader? We don’t have a leader.”
This question had upset Stardust. In fact, the man formerly known as Cody

Before she could answer, or slap him, Erika stepped into the picture. "Oh come on Tom, we all know the answer to that one. She's embarassed. One has been lost to another has been. And I think she's finally realizing that the women who single handedly revolutionized WWE's womens division are at the top and the only thing we've, I mean I've got to do is take the gold from Ashley.

Feelin' Me began to play from the PA system, accompanied by strobe lights and cheers from the small FCW crowd. "Making her way to the ring," Rosa began to announce as a petite Diva in a metallic gold attire jogged out from behind the curtain and came to a stop.

The day had started out well enough for Salem Seitz but once she was called into a meeting with her father, Michael Hayes; Canyon Ceman, talent director for NXT; and Mark Carrano, an executive of WWE's Talent Relations department, things started to go downhill. Fast. The four were seated in one of the conference rooms within the WWE Performance Center, Mark and Canyon on one side of the desk, Salem opposite them, and Michael seated to the side acting as a buffer. Salem hadn't wanted the meeting, at least not in that moment. But it was happening, no getting out of it. "Tell me, gentlemen, why

After not being at the previous "Presentation Skills" class Salem had no choice but to attend and go up in front of the present NXT contingent. She sat patiently, her long legs crossed as watched and laughed along with those around her to the person that was currently preforming. Absentmindedly the 5'10" Pensacola native picked at her frayed shorts as she went over a few of the things she herself wanted to say in her promo, she shouldn't have been nervous but damn, her turn was coming up soon.
"Miss Salem, you're up." Dusty Rhodes' southern drawl caught the NXT Diva's attention, from his spot along the edge of the group he gestured for her t
It's been awhile since I've done one of these, it's okay, I know it's the last thing on your mind.
Are you ready? How would you describe your sense of humor? Personally, I feel I have this English/Canadian dry sense of humor. I'm pretty sarcastic, so there's some of that too.
Mania is this Sunday, and I'm all packed up and ready to roll! Even though the card isn't jammed packed like some indy show, I am excited for the ladder match. I've always wanted to see Money in the Bank live at Mania, as this IC ladder match is pretty much that! I also have no doubts that Rollins/Randy will be great. At the end of the day, I'm going with my best friend, so regardless I'm going to have fun.
I might try to do a question of a day.
So here's the question, do you prefer, coffee, or tea? Neither or both? Personally, I like them both, but I can I drink tea everyday, usually Green or Black with no sugar.
