I stumbled across this "Most Controversial Moments in Independant Wrestling History" List on Facebook and figures this would be good for a laugh and clicked on it.

Now in between things like "Shane Douglas throws down the NWA Championship" and "The Mass Transit Incident" is Kimber Lee vs. Chris Dickinson.

Holy crap. I don't really really pay attention to Indy stuff, but this was disgusting. Between the vile, full force chair shot to the head and then the most reckless turnbuckle powerbomb I've ever seen I feel like Kimber Lee was lucky to escape with her life.

Was there like a huge outcry over this? Was Dickinson shunned for nearly killing someone? If the YouTube comments on the video were anything to go by she deserved it for Wrestling men and this is what the Attitude Era was like. :|

Lots of people were pretty appalled by it and Dickinson took a lot of flak, as did Beyond for allowing it to happen and promoting the fact - however, Kimber defended it by saying everything that happened was her decision, she's a professional, it was her choice to make, etc.

Trump emerged from neither a log cabin nor the contemporary meritocracy. He inherited his father’s outer-borough real-estate empire—a considerable enterprise distinguished by racist federal-housing violations—and brought it to Manhattan. He entered a world of contractors, casino operators, Roy Cohn, professional-wrestling stars, Rupert Murdoch, multiple bankruptcies, tabloid divorces, Mar-a-Lago golf tournaments, and reality television. He had no real civic presence in New York. A wealthy man, he gave almost nothing to charity. He cultivated a kind of louche glamour. At Studio 54, he said, “I would watch supermodels getting screwed . . . on a bench in the middle of the room.” He had no close friends. Mainly, he preferred to work, play golf, and spend long hours at home watching TV. His misogyny and his low character were always manifest. Displeased with a harmless Palm Beach society journalist named Shannon Donnelly, he told her in a letter that if she adhered to his standards of discretion, “I will promise not to show you as the crude, fat and obnoxious slob which everyone knows you are.” Insofar as he had political opinions, they were inconsistent and mainly another form of performance art, part of his talk-show patter. His contributions to political campaigns were unrelated to conviction; he gave solely to curry favor with those who could do his business some good. He believed in nothing.

As OwensIsNow would say: we did it, fam!
 
I wasn't around this weekend when the news came out, but how do you guys feel about WWE and JBL's explanation of Mauro's release?

It sounds like Mauro had issues working out the face / heel dynamic of WWE announce teams and couldn't tell the difference in what was a work or not. That is entirely believable when you think about it. I don't claim to know what happened behind the scenes, but at least WWE's reasoning isn't complete bullshit.

It a bs reason so neither parties look bad. I mean Mauro left because he had issue with the face/heel dyamic that makes no sense.

Mauro was let off early from his WWE contract and got paid in exchange for signing a non-disparage agreement.

If you look at Mauro's comment history on the matter, and Meltzer's reporting, to believe it was for anything but JBL straight up harassing him, you are being naive.

Hard to blame Mauro for taking the deal. He's getting a bunch of money from the people that made his life miserable, and he gets to go do something else immediately if he wants to.

There was a hullabaloo about Dickinson, but it faded away.

He just won the Evolve tag team championships this weekend with Jaka, FWIW.

I'm sure given the nature of wrestling, the truth of the matter will come out eventually. Until then, it's just one of those things we'll probably never know the facts on aside from third hand reporting, speculation and first hand comments that sound questionable at best.

Wonder how much he got paid. Hopefully it improves things back stage. I mean, I can't imagine Vince wants to keep doing these payouts.
 
lmao at ever buying anything WWE says about what they do

They literally still trying to say Bryan winning the belt at Mania 30 was always the plan ffs

What? The reporting HEAVILY suggests Mauro was being bullied during a period he was suffering a bout of serious depression which brought on these series of events.

Wasn't just JBL either. Did you not see the report of Jerry Lawler initially calling Mauro M.R.? An acronym that they like to use there for "mental retard".

I seriously doubt much will change. You don't pay people off to be quiet if you are considering changing your behavior.

I did not see that, only saw stuff about Lawler where he backed up JBL on a podcast or something.
