Paige has no ass

Flat as a board

stupid move on her part it seems...

Hmmm...will WWE take her to court potentially for breach of contract?

[DAMN iNATOR]

stupid move on her part it seems...

Maybe, but this is still a developing story. We should wait until more is known before reaching any conclusions.

[Hanso Amore]

Good idea. Quit at such a young age and burn any bridges.

[Emperor Smeat]

Same source has been pretty sketchy for reliability in the past. The more reliable sheets are saying Paige is still considering her options and hasn't quit yet. Seems like all he did was read some sheet news and then assumed what could happen next.

Last time with the Punk stuff, he claimed neither guy was friends anymore because they no longer followed each other on Twitter and Cabana was backstage at a WWE event as proof. Nobody else has confirmed the friendship ending to be true yet nor what Cabana was doing backstage.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Man, who the fuck can blame Paige? Imagine how bad things must be to want to quit your dream job like that. Can't be too dreamy.

Paige has got all the talent necessary to make a splash wherever she goes. She's got a good image, she's good in the ring -- Billy Corgan is stupid if he doesn't make a play for her and Alberto. Now there might finally be a chance of my dream Paige vs. Saraya feud. I'm telling you, that is money.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Shame. I'll miss her boobies.

[Bad News Gertner]

Her entire family is crazy

[Frank Drebin]

Hope Lawler got to bang her while he had the chance before she got too old for him.

[Frank Drebin]

Too bad. She might've been good but it seemed she stopped caring after a while. Also screaming "this is my house" 8 times a match got old really fast.

[Destor]

Good for her

[KIRA]

Hope Lawler got to bang her while he had the chance before she got too old for him.
She wasn't 17 so he probably never looked at her twice

[erickman]

how much time did she have left on her contract

[slik]

i think 4 years

[erickman]

i think 4 years

well she is screwed then

[Emperor Smeat]

how much time did she have left on her contract

Supposedly locked till 2019.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I imagine the company will let her out of her contract. It's probably the stuff with Total Divas that is actually harder to get out of, because I imagine E! likes to know who is going to be on the show for promotional reasons and to block things out.

If the WWE did try to sabotage her relationship with Alberto Del Rio though, I can imagine her having some leverage to get an early release with a reasonable no compete cause that will take her through wherever they are up to with Total Divas +90 days or whatever.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The WWE does not want the bad press of keeping someone who is essentially a baby locked up for the prime years of her life.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That being said, could you imagine the fucking pop she'll get in 2019 when she is finally free from the WWE prison? If they don't let her out, she can go travel, live her early years out (hopefully staying in ring shape) and then she can come in and be the biggest babyface star of a company's Women's Division.

Long-term vision is lacking from professional wrestling these days because it generates so much content in a serial format. It might be a mixed blessing to have to keep your hands off Paige for three years or so.

[Frank Drebin]

How about firing a guy after an altercation started by an employee making a racially insensitive remark, bringing him back after he's successful elsewhere, then interfere in his love life and try to break up the relationship. WWE: Classy as always.

[Evil Vito]

Meh. I don't blame her but I can't say I care much about her leaving, either.

[erickman]

and the way they held up ray leaving, she needs to suck it up like jack swager and job out 3 years

[Frank Drebin]

She's not exactly beloved nowadays. Her status with the IWC pretty much took a nose dive when she signed up for Total Divas. I don't think anyone's going to be clamoring for her to return as long as the likes of Charlotte, Sasha, Becky, Bliss, Bayley, Asuka and Jax are around.

[Mr. Nerfect]

People know she's good though. They'll forget about her being an annoying brat. Also her being chained down means we can't have her, and people want what they can't have. They'll feel sorry for her. Paige has legitimately got more star potential than most of the girls you listed, in my opinion. That's a subjective discussion, but her poor presentation in the WWE won't get in he way of her being regarded as a big deal elsewhere -- especially if they play up what worked about her in NXT.

[Frank Drebin]

Well yah, if you take a role player in the NBA or MLB and send them to the D-League or Triple A they'll dominate. Dosen't mean that's where they should be though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That's not what I'm saying.

[Ruien]

Really don't think anyone will give a shit about Paige if she randomly shows up to a event in 2019. Same thing for any woman wrestler.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Disagree completely.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Especially if she CAN'T show up anywhere else. If she DOESN'T show up, that's an entirely different thing.

[Ruien]

Can't see it. You have way more faith in the drawing power of women wrestling than me. They will always just be second tier and Paige wasn't in the WWE anywhere near long enough for the casual person to remember her as anything special.

[Frank Drebin]

I'm sure her role in Santa's Little Helper was good enough to get her a cameo in the next Sharknado if she wants. Probably on the next season of Big Brother too.

[Bad News Gertner]

Women don't draw

[Mr. Nerfect]

Can't see it. You have way more faith in the drawing power of women wrestling than me. They will always just be second tier and Paige wasn't in the WWE anywhere near long enough for the casual person to remember her as anything special.

Women's wrestling has drawn before. It's a total myth that it hasn't. In the past it has been used as a special attraction, but more so than ever before, it is the special attractions in wrestling that are drawing anyway.

Wendi Richter's contribution to the WWF's Rock 'n' Wrestling success is marginalized by the history. Sable, whatever you think of her, was probably the second most over star the WWF had next to Stone Cold Steve Austin at one point. Gail Kim was getting higher ratings than Kurt Angle in TNA at one point.

You're allowed to not like women's wrestling or think that liking it right now is a bit of a bandwagon thing, and that's cool. I spent a lot of the SmackDown Live thread criticizing Alexa Bliss' performance, because I just don't think she is anywhere NEAR ready. In fact, given how scant each division currently is, I still think there are some talent involved that just aren't going to work with the new aesthetic of women's wrestling. Spoiler warning: Bliss is one of them, but Naomi is another. I know she's athletic and supposedly "good," but she still reeks of "look at me doing things" Diva.

Anyway, I digress -- you're allowed to think it's shit, but it is an effective component to any wrestling product. Paige -- given her ring skills, her appearance, her experience in the business, her reputation for having edge and being important to women's wrestling undergoing that shift of perception -- has got the potential to effect whatever division she is in.

She's as recognizable as any woman the WWE currently has under contract. MAYBE Nikki Bella has gotten more media attention with her appearances at Kids Choice Awards and stuff. I don't think you can effectively argue that Sasha Banks, for instance, is more known worldwide now than Paige is. She's more over at the moment, sure, but that's a temporary argument. If Paige beat Sasha for the Women's Title on WWE TV and Sasha disappeared then Paige would be more over.

And the thing is, you don't NEED to be familiar with Paige to understand her story. I'm thinking of TNA now, okay, just for clarification. If WWE gets her to sit at home for three more years until she gets out of her contract. When she shows up in TNA, casual fans aren't watching it anyway. But let's say Corgan turns things around and they're a sustainable option for wrestlers and maybe there are a few fresh eyeballs on the product -- that is why you have announcers and vignettes. That why you explain her story -- signed by the WWE at a young age to be a centerpiece of their women's movement, but forced to appear in reality shows and then kept under contract and forced to sit at home.

If you stick your finger in the wind, you can feel that pro-female agency is a big thing in culture at the moment. It obviously spreads over to politics more importantly, but it's certainly going to be present in sports and entertainment. Forcing a young girl to sit out her prime years at home because she got a contract pressed into her face before she was old enough to drink is an instant babyface story for Paige to overcome when she shows up somewhere else.

You want people to ask "Who is that? Where has she been?" and if the answers are "She used to work for WWE and they've had her under lock and key for four years" it instantly builds her prestige.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Women don't draw

Lol, men don't draw today.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

THIS IS MY DOGHOUSE!

[Simple Fan]

I'm sure her role in Santa's Little Helper was good enough to get her a cameo in the next sharknado if she wants. Probably on the next season of Big Brother too.

Considering Sharknado is on Syfy she would have a better chance landing a Sharknado role if she stayed in WWE.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sharknado would probably get her more exposure than the WWE.

[Simple Fan]

I was really into Paige before she started on Total Divas. After that her character took a hit and just didn't feel as legitimate. Her and AJ Lee were about the only two women on the roster that were legit.

If she has to sit at home for three years then there is no way she's a big draw in 2019. I dont think she will have to set out that long though. If she does leave the best place for her to go would be TNA. ROH is just starting the Women of Honor and don't have a title so her going there wouldn't be the best choice unless they want to build the division around her. TNA allows the women to do just as much as the men and I think her and Gail could have some killer matches.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yeah I agree. Total Divas is shit. :n:

[Mr. USA #1]

Fuckherrightinthepussy

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Access Granted!

[harmsway]

Women don't draw

Truest shit ever

[thecc]

I guarantee she would make more on signings alone

[Mr. USA #1]

She should go do porn like Chyna but she should try not to die from choking on a weed

[harmsway]

Chyna walked the aisle at wrestlemania and fucked Lisa ann.........more than any of us men here will ever accomplish in life

[Rammsteinmad]

Good.

Never liked Paige. Always thought she was an arrogant bitch.

[Funky Fly is back]

I don't even know who Paige is.

[Mr. Nerfect]

You need to keep your serious wrestling characters off Total Divas. Anyone you want to have a legitimate mystique needs to be kept away. I'd have argued that Lana shouldn't have been put on there, but Rusev is going to be hilarious on it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't even know who Paige is.

She kind of looks like a skinnier, whiter, less tattooed Umaga.

[Vastardikai]

I wonder if this is more child star insanity than anything else.

Also, if she takes it to court, WWE will settle and let her out of the contract. A groggy enough lawyer will question if she is truly an "independent contractor" and that's a can of worms WWE DOESN'T want opened.

[Ruien]

Well, Total Divss is dead right?. We now have Total Bella's so besides for Nikki no one else will be part of the show that is on the roster. Well, besides Bryan and maybe Cena? Bryan is on all the commercials.

That would certainly have to be part of it, I imagine. How mature can you really be at her age? I feel sorry for a lot of the people who "grow up" in the industry. Not necessarily around it or train to be professional wrestlers young, but the ones that are plucked out and given full-time cushy salaries and put on the road before they have developed certain life skills.

[Cool King]

Del Rio is gone too.

STAMFORD, Conn. — WWE and Jose Rodriguez (Alberto Del Rio) have mutually agreed upon the terms of his release as of today, September 9, 2016

WWE didn't even wish him the best in his future endeavors!

Goodbye Paige, I will miss you

[poopfromweiner dude]

Do you think she will join my wrestling promotion?

[Funky Fly is back]

She sounds like a rip off of Serena Deeb! I wish they would bring back Festus.

[Funky Fly is back]

What's CM Punk up to these days anyway? Is he on the RAW brand still?

[mike adamle]

Hopefully WWE stops her from wrestling anywhere so she decides to retire and do porn. She could make a killing in the porn industry.

[Theo Dious]

God damn you Del Rio.

[Innovator]

WWE didn't even wish him the best in his future endeavors!

They knocked off the 90 day no compete, so he got that going for him

[DAMN iNATOR]

What's CM Punk up to these days anyway? Is he on the RAW brand still?

Nah, bro. He's in UFC now. I guess he was supposed to fight some guy in a welterweight fight but was going to have to drop like 30 lbs. in record time.

[Fignuts]

So has there been any reliable source confirming this yet, or is it still most likely bullshit?

[Theo Dious]

Good for her
Im happy for her too

"independent contractor"
They've dodged that bullet for so long I really want to see what happens when/if they get hit with it.

[Simple Fan]

Just a matter of time. Really crazy that the talent do have a union of some sort. Especially with them being public.

[Rammsteinmad]

I always thought I was the only guy here who didn't like her.

In pretty much every Paige-related thread ever. My exact quote (which I've said on multiple occasions) was "Paige is overrated".

Wrestled on a few shows that she was on, back in the day, and always thought she thought too highly of herself, mostly probably due to her Dad being a promoter etc. But she always just came across as really arrogant and bitchy. And any footage of her in WWE, but out-of-character, I always see that same kinda vibe from her.

[Emperor Smeat]

Small update from the Observer regarding Paige's status:


According to those with direct knowledge of her situation, she was basically in the same situation A.J. Lee was on when C.M. Punk left. At one point this week it did appear she was gone, right now that isn't the case, but it can change and the situation will be weird. The big difference is there is no legal action being taken against Alberto like there was against Punk.

I dunno, I feel like she's tremendously skilled and seems to have a healthy passion for what she does. I personally feel like it would be a crying shame if she does leave, but at the end of the day I suppose she must do what she feels is best for her.

Ah, so you did, my memory must suck.

But I can see what you mean, as I got a similar vibe from her when I watched that Channel 4 documentary about her family a few years ago.

[Frank Drebin]

I was always on #teamlana when they had that brief spat.

[Fignuts]

Should change the thread title from "officialy" to "maybe".

[Schlomey]

So did this really happen or what?

[Mercenary]

no just an awful thread title

[Mr. Nerfect]

Paige got "Alberto" tattooed onto her.

[Cool King]

One of the worst things you can do is get a living person's name tattooed on you.

[Cool King]

Just ask The Undertaker.

[Emperor Smeat]

While there has been discussion about the WWE future of former WWE Divas champion Paige given the departure of her boyfriend, Alberto Del Rio, from WWE and her Wellness Policy suspension last month, PWInsider.com can confirm that she will be returning to the road next week.

We have been told by multiple sources the two sides have been communicating over the last several days. Paige is booked for next week's Raw taping in Memphis, TN as well as subsequent live events for the Raw brand.

Paige's WWE Wellness Suspension officially ends on 9/17.

[owenbrown]

I sense a lot of jobbing in her future :(

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No I said it best two different times.

"This is MY Doghouse!"

If her career is over she can probably take over as the tattoo girl from the Milky Way Commerical. She can add unnecessary U's to the tattoos.

[Emperor Smeat]

More updates regarding Paige and how close she came to actually quitting or getting fired. Turns out the firing threats were legit and likely the reason she hired lawyers.

Paige was with Del Rio at the press conference but never spoke. At one point this past week she did quit WWE, but there were talks afterwards of attempting to mend fences and at press time things had been settled and she was scheduled to return, perhaps as early as the 9/19 Raw in Memphis, which would be after her 30 day suspension expired. In actuality, her return depends on her various injuries and there is no date scheduled as of yet, but that would be the earliest date possible. It was a touchy situation since a decision was almost made to fire Paige several weeks ago, to the point I was alerted about a firing to come on deadline, which was to be her, but at that point there was a change of heart. That was back during the week where several people had been let go and before the announcement of her Wellness policy failure. She had gotten legal representation this past week.

[KIRA]

She and Undertaker both broke the #1 rule of getting a tattoo.

IDIOTS.

From an article on the "news" part of the site:

Paige posted the following on Twitter today. In the message she explains that she did not fail her WWE drug test. She explains that it was a “procedural issue” because she wasn’t home when she was to take the test. She drove 200 miles to take the test, and passed it It was apparently too late, and due to policy, she was issued a suspension…

I'm just the messenger here.

[Ruien]

Lol. Be at home or get suspended!

I liked the story more when Eve Marie was a drug dealer.

[mike adamle]

Yeah I'm guessing maybe her and Del Rio will make a porno and be this generations X-Pac & Chyna. Works for me I supposse.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Paige and Del Rio could make a lot of money off a porno if that was the route they wanted to go. Hell, Paige could get out of her WWE deal quite easily doing that.
