The preshow explained he was banned from the building after the NXT thing.
As for Noelle, I doubt there ever was a real option for her to succeed, I assume it was all a stunt to push her "brand."
Yeah, I was just thinking that. Like Foley's post-career knees must have been somehow genetic or something.

Meet your new trailer, Mr. Zandig.
*zoom in on Noelle's reaction as she gulps*
Cut to talking head of Mick: "Deathmatches are bad enough for the participants, but imagine how I feel!"

Has Chris Hero ever put on a mask and come up with the alter ego "Anti-Hero", if not, he should.
I like his tall lanky look. and his worked punches.
His Anti-Hero gimmick would be him coming out in a leather jacket and having a ton of unnecessary pouches attached to him

I assume failing an NXT tryout is legitimately a thing they baked into their show, because I highly doubt they ever planned to actually admit her as a wrestler.
I had heard they wanted her to be a backstage interviewer, but she's like Tom Phillips height, so that's not so good.

Is this something that dirtsheets have revealed or the new episodes of Holey Foley? Genuine question, since I'm wondering if it's just a work thing or not.
JEEZUS
Also, to put into context how unathletic Noelle must be, Paige passed that test with scoliosis
To put into context how unathletic Noelle must be, Eva Marie is still employed

I'm actually curious how unathletic you need to be to fail a test to get into the PC.
She never tried out apparently. She has other, er, assets.
They invited her to another tryout if she improves it and becomes more technically sound.
Mick Foley was never a natural athlete even with good knees and women they are hiring now either have Indie experience or gifted with natural athleticism.

It probably looked something like this.
That's hilarious. She's always taking pictures of herself in gym gear. How did she fail?
There goes Season 2 of Holy Foley.

Excuse you, Total Divas is real and that's why half the people on the show go around being called their stage names when around close friends and personal family members.
Well I don't watch it, so I'm only worked by second hand reports!

Its just so silly to have 10 guys laying on the floor for 10 minutes, not moving, This rumble was horrible. No Surprises. And a winner that would make you think its 2006.
I can legitimately see the older guys calling each other by their kayfabe names outside of the show. No way does someone call HBKBMichael Hickenbottom.

Why was there an umbrella?
They really do that? That would honestly be enough for me to drop the show.
Jack Gallagher brought it with him.

Rumble thoughts so far (bear in mind, from someone who is cold turkey on main roster WWE bar a PPV every couple months)
V. Good stuff from Charlotte and Bayley, as expected.
Owens vs Roman very fun brawl.
Neville vs Swann was a damn shame. The crowd were popping loud for the 45 seconds or so of CWC style highspots and action. Just let them do that and you unfuck the division.
Great AJ/Cena match.
All that said, and knowing who wins the Rumble, and that expected card, Mania is entirely skippable. Even as someone who like most, has totally come round on Big Match John the last couple years, to the point where any other time of year, I wouldn't begrudge him the title, a SD title picture of Orton vs Cena is a bottom of the barrel negative interest level match, and Orton vs Wyatt is only a notch above that.
Going to watch the Rumble tomorrow

What's the context for this? What happened before and after? Why? Why?It probably looked something like this.
Very few spots seemed to, outside of some eliminations. Goldberg spear and Loo Parper setting up Sister Abigail were only a couple that I remember.

They call Rusev "Rusev" and Lana "Lana."

What typenof person collects fanfiction about themselves with their coworkers.
That is so creepy and fucking weird.
That is so creepy and fucking weird.
True but it fits with the idea of what they are looking for in women now.
The ones they pick up from scratch are natural athletes like Naomi, Carmella, Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan and Daria.
Eva Marie is last remnant of the old days.

It's not with everyone but it feels kind of off when everyone is calling Paige, Eva and Alicia by their stage names all the time. But maybe the same happens behind the scenes.
Nikki and Brie go by their real names but their real names are basically the long version of their ring names. Naomi goes by her real name, and Natalya tends to go by Nattie which works for both her real and ring name. All their boyfriends/husbands go by their real names though (with the exception of Rusev and Ambrose).
I know too much about this show.
It's just kind of weird. I'm not sure if it's something the women actually do or if they only do it because there are cameras all over the place.

You bet your sweet ass everyone calls Hunter Haitch.
Lol wtf? There was a pop for Henry/Strowman, Strowman/Show, Tye, Corbin eliminating Braun, New Day getting eliminated together and then Sheamus trying to throw out Cesaro, and others I'm forgetting. The crowd was very hot for the Rumble.

Alvarez asked HHH this question a week ago.
His co-workers generally called him "Hunter" but people around the office call him "Paul," and he professionally goes by Paul these days, but a lot of people who weren't around for his transition to front-office work were confused about who "Paul" actually is (a lot of the old timers get work as road agents and such).

Oh man, Gallagher was like...the only bright spot of the Rumble. I hope he feuding with Neville brings the CWD back to life.
Yup. Naomi and Cameron when she was on are the only ones who use their actual names. Besides the men, who use their real names for some reason (Miz is Mike, Jimmy Uso is John, etc).
It's funny cause Naomi's actual name, Trinity, would be a better stage name than her actual stage name.

Remember when the set dropped Kayfabe on Vince and he called Triple H Paul to make the whole angle seem more like a shoot.

YOU GO GET 'EM, BATSIE!
Outside of eliminations and entrances I mean. Yeah, the Braun/Henry state down got one, which was weird to me until I remembered Mark Henry's from Texas. But most of the spots that didn't end up chucking someone over that didn't involve the part timers didn't really land.
I loved Xavier saving Kofi and then the double kick from the apron and it got nothing.
