I love Sasha, but man she's been brutal lately. I feel like her "Boss" character is pretty much non-existant. Instead of coming off as a badass girl with swagger, she sounds and acts like a star-struck mark every week.

Her promos have at least one of the following:

"EH-VER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL..."
"EH-DEE GA-RER-OH"

Some people can get away with the fan boy/girl gimmick and undertones like Bayley or even a Zayn, but for fucks sake Sasha what happened to your sweet gimmick.

Former WWE wrestler Ashley Massaro recently joined the huge class action lawsuit against the WWE in regards to concussions and WWE being negligent towards their roster's health.

The biggest revelation was her injury happened during a Tribute to the Troops show but not because of something happening or related to an actual match.

Massaro filed documents this week to join the head-injury lawsuit that now includes over 50 former WWE employees, and in it mentioned a horrible incident in Kuwait as proof of their negligence.

Ashley claims the assault happened while she was in the Middle East on a WWE sanctioned trip with Maria Kanellis, Jimmy Hart and Ron Simmons. This was not for Tribute to the Troops.

According to the docs, “Upon her return to the United States, she was seen by Dr. Rios who interviewed her about the incident. Dr. Rios reported the incident to WWE executives who soon thereafter met with Massaro to apologize for their negligence but persuaded her that it would be best not to report it to appropriate authorities.”

In a bit of irony, she had an interview with WWE's website prior to the trip saying she wasn't worried about her safety since the company would do their best to protect her during the overseas trip.

Read some of the statement she never was in a main event. Also she joined a wrestling contest with no experience? Seems like that's on her. Pretty disgusting what one of our troops did to her though.

Pretty much the same with Balor for the men's side for recent big NXT callups.

The gimmicks get over in NXT because you see the process. On the main roster, they are just product. And Sasha Banks is not helped by the fact that someone has clearly told her to smile as a babyface. As soon as she does that, "The Boss" dies. She should be a heel.

Joey Styles got fired from CHIKARA as part of the fallout that happened with him in EVOLVE.

Official statement from CHIKARA:

Quote:

The events of the last few days have been just cause to take a look at the state of professional wrestling. The art form that I love, and have dedicated my entire adult life to, is embarrassingly behind the times. It is beholden to outdated tenets that threaten to render it...obsolete at worst, and a punchline at best.

I know there are others, influential and celebrated, that imagine pro-wrestling to be a bubble in which the social norms from a bygone era are still relevant and valid. At CHIKARA, we rail against them, and those ideals, with everything we make. It is one thing to speak, to voice an opinion. It is one thing to call for change, to wish for change, to imagine how that change might come about. It is another thing to make it. At CHIKARA, we make it happen. It doesn’t matter to us in the least how many people show up to see it, or how many people recognize it for what it is. Our mantra is not about critical acclaim or pats on the back: “We believe pro-wrestling should be fun. That’s why we make it for everyone.”

Effective today, we are terminating our relationship with Joey Styles. Effective today, we are instituting a zero tolerance policy for misogynistic, racist, and/or homophobic speech, written or verbal, whether it’s directed toward our cast, our crew, or our patrons. This is the shape of CHIKARA.

To all that craft and shape pro-wrestling, we must fully understand this: the patrons of our art form demand more of us. It is to them - those that empower us to create the larger-than-life spectacle of professional wrestling - that we are beholden. Not to an archaic sub-culture made up of turn-of-the-last-century carny values.

To be fair, what Joey Styles said wasn't really his own words.

He was referencing/quoting someone else.

His fault though since he was pretty much told to not say that line and he did it anyways. With the way everyone reacted, seemed like nobody else was in on the joke.

Didn't help the line also pissed off EVOLVE's new streaming providers so it made the choice to can him a lot easier.

I think maybe he should have got a serious warning and maybe a cut from his pay, but I think CHIKARA releasing him because of it was a bit much.

Beyond Wrestling also has a deal with FloSlam for streaming while CHIKARA has been rumored to be a possible future addition for the service (or the Network when WWE teased at the idea).

Beyond Wrestling also has a small working relationship with EVOLVE since Beyond helped them out earlier in the year for a show when EVOLVE had some problems.

Looks like another thing that might have lead to both Beyond and CHIKARA firing Styles was the revelation Styles apology letter had several lies in it. FloSports manager got even more pissed Styles implied he was both ok with the apology and stuff that went down.
