I wanna see the receipts on this Del Rio talk. Dude has just never clicked, even on the indies for me. Regardless I don't see how anyone can say he's one of the best on the roster.

His matches with Christian, Edge, and Rey were good. How stuff in ROH was good too. He & Swaggy had a decent program as well. There's a lot of stuff there.

Speaking of Del Rio, they apparently sent him to India to do PR stuff, which included signing autographs in what appears to be a school located in fucking hell because he was sweaty as fuck

Man you're going back a long way for any good work in WWE, I just take exception to "decent" work being thought of as best on the roster when the roster is stacked

a great wrestler can be over or at least get pops from the crowds despite shit booking.

Del Rio has been working with fucking Sheamus for months and he's getting pops.

Well who in the hell has he had a feud with lately? Other than Kalisto and their match at Rumble was pretty good. Dude can put on a good match with anyone. Then you had that sd match with him & aj.

And that's the truth.

Cesaro is great in the ring but I just don't know what the actual fuck his character is asides from Uppercut Swiss Man, plus I can't even remember him ever once being good on the mic (probably because he gets fuck-all speaking time).

Del Rio is likely getting paid a ton of money to fuck Paige into oblivion after being fired for smacking the shit out of a racist employee. Honestly, I'm surprised he's not phoning it in Ambrose style in the ring.

Del Rio was so much better when he had Ricardo, but he's still good.

With the Lesnar thing, what's the point of running the tests but not getting the results until after the fight has taken place? Does that happen a lot?

I want them to sign Cedric, he's the truth . Definitely my guy to win it all


Points from Wor
This is really bad for WWE, as he is the cover of WWE2K17 and he's wrestling at SS
The questions arises of how he never failed a WWE test in the 4 years he's been there


More serious than Roman Reigns suspension because of the publicity of it

Alvarez points out that Lesnar passed 5 of 6 tests in a 3 week span, and failed the 6th, so that's weird. Meltzer however mentions that this has happened before.

Once Nevada starts a hearing, and if he's suspended by the commission, he will be suspended from any commission in any state that regulates prowrestling too, which means that he wouldn't even be able to fight in SummerSlam (NY)


This is bad for UFC, because they've had 3 pops too close to a fight (Jones, Silva, Lesnar, although Lesnar and Silva actually fought)


There's precedent on suspending/firing people for failing outside drug tests (Billy Gunn)

Yes it happens a lot. Because it's important, determining each fighter's fate and career for at least the next two years if it's positive, they want to make sure the result they got is accurate, which takes time and shouldn't be rushed.

For reference, the Jon Jones positive (test, failure, results, and report) was 2 weeks and I think a couple days more. It was essentially the same time for this (June 28 to yesterday)

Okay. That makes sense.

I wasn't really questioning the test so much though as the ability to have the fight before the results come in. I think I made it sound the other way. But then again it sounds like there were more tests than I thought.

They aren't really in control of when the results come in. They're tested randomly, it can be only once or frequently, but the period you can be tested doesn't stop until around fight day. The period it takes to go from test to results confirmed as accurate and shared varies but is usually (at least in those two examples) under 3 weeks.

Sometimes, like with Jones, it comes before the day of the fight and they're able to quickly pull off a replacement fight or forced to cancel the fight altogether. Sometimes, like with Brock, it doesn't come until sometime after and they're forced to void the result as a No Contest if the positive fighter won. It all depends on when the sample was collected.

Has any man on WrassleGaf ever nair'd their asshole?

Nope. Professionally waxed as part of an all-over deal though, which hurts a lot less than you'd expect (I used to do amateur competitive swimming, so being smooth is good for resisting water-drag).

I wouldn't use Nair for fear of chemical burns if it got left on for too long.
