[erickman]

happy birthday ric flair fire your friend.

[Seanny One Ball]

They must have found out that wasn't his real name

[DaveWadding]

But who is going to keep kayfabe alive in the next WCW documentary?

[Johnny Vegas]

To his defense of his wrestling IQ, i don't know how he even lasted this long with this company. But i guess you have to make a living..

[Black Widow]

Must have done a Cosby to one of the women.

Gotta be serious how close HHH is to Ric and he couldn't talk them into keeping him.

[Droford]

theyll have to figure someone else out to compare spinebusters to

[Vastardikai]

I wonder if he was into massage parlors.

[Bad News Gertner]

They usually get rid of producers every 20 years or so. Fresh ideas etc...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Pretty close to retirement age or maybe a little bit beyond it.

[Evil Vito]

Arn Anderson should start a podcast in which he cuts promos on people who upset him that week.

”Comcast, you’re cable service royalty, no doubt about it. You’ve given me solid internet for almost 10 years running so I can watch old Budweiser commercials from the 70s without one pause to buffer.

But this week you started charging me ten bucks more a month without warning, and your so-called customer service representatives just tell me there’s nothing they can do. So I’m gonna tell you what I will do.

I’m gonna come down there to your 4th Street brick-and-mortar location and I’m gonna give that Assistant Manager Jeffrey the whoopin’ of his life, courtesy of the Enforcer of the Four Horsemen! And when I’m done - maybe my bill will still be ten bucks more. Maybe you’ll throttle my service down so that those grainy old VHS-captured money shots of cans on ice take 30 minutes to load. And maybe - just maybe - I’ll just be another quote-unquote ‘Florida Man’ on the sidebar of Uproxx who got sent to prison over a minor dispute.

But.

You’ll damn sure regret the day you crossed the path of Arn Anderson. Get your gear, son.”

:lol::rofl::lol::rofl:

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I read that entire post on Arn's cadence and voice and it was glorious lol

[xrodmuc316]

I don't know if I buy that he was fired. Probably asked for his release like the others did. Only because it happened on the same day.

[Droford]

I see people complaining about AA getting fired and them hiring Abyss and other lesser guys for backstage roles...

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems Anderson's firing might not be just a simple "changing of the guard" or anything contractual related but instead something a lot more serious based on a recent rumor going around the net.

Supposedly he was involved in an alleged inappropriate incident that WWE doesn't want to ever become public and was serious enough that it left WWE no other choice but to fire him.

I was thinking when they busted Robert kraft they said he was not the biggest fish what if arn was part of that.

There was another billionaire caught, I dont think AA is on the billionaire level

[erickman]

they caught a bunch of people not just billionaires arn might have been one of them

[Gerard]

How is it possible Arn Anderson is only 60? He looked 60 years ago and only turned 60 last September. :eek:

[#1-norm-fan]

Makes you wonder where his career would have gone if he didn’t have to retire so young.

Motherfucker better not of put his hands on Alexa Bliss. I'LL WHIP YOUR ASS YOU OLD MAN!

[Fignuts]

Honestly I hope it’s the prostitution sting and not something worse.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m worried that bad news is going to come out of this.

[#1-norm-fan]

Who will take his spot?

[Mr. Nerfect]

They’ve promoted Abyss, Shane Helms and Steve Corino as producers.

No way WWE releases Arn Anderson days before Ric Flair has a birthday celebration on Raw without there being some kind of provocation. They also wouldn’t want him doing anything for AEW or Starrcast. I hate to say it, but I’m pessimistic that the company’s hands were tied.

[RP]

I'M WARNING YOU ARN!

[Emperor Smeat]

While its still not known what exactly lead to his firing, Observer's Dave Meltzer reported that Anderson and Vince had a pretty heated argument recently that led to him being sent home as punishment.

In terms of what was said, Meltzer stated he was told several different versions of this argument so nothing definitive at the moment.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I hope it’s just a falling out with Vince. Arn, as far as talent goes, still has so much to offer wrestling.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hey Hey this is Conrad Thompson and we're HORSING AROUND WITH ARN ANDERSON!

[mike adamle]

I wonder what this means for his son, Karl Anderson.

[RP]

YOU KEEP YOUR OLD BRITTLE FINGERS OFF ALEXA, ARN!!!!!!!!!

[mike adamle]

Is that the rumor going around?

[RP]

Is that the rumor going around?


Metzler reported that the story going around backstage is that Alexa walked into her locker room and Arn was smelling her dirty underwear.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is that legit or just you being you?

[RP]

I've never lied in the wrestling forum.

[rez]

I'm secretly on team Arn unless something comes out negative

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I kinda am leaning towards believing RP right now because of the rumors I heard with him and Major Gunns in WCW.

[Seanny One Ball]

Withered Arm Anderson

[Sepholio]

Get in there Arn

[Mr. Nerfect]

It’s just that timing. Right before Ric Flair is at Raw. It sounds either malicious or urgent — like it’s not simply a “Arn’s finishing up” thing. Why wouldn’t they give him and Ric a moment either on TV or post-Raw? There’s something unceremonious about it. If he argued with Vince, then this could just be pettiness (like Punk getting fired on his wedding day). But that’s, like, best case scenario. I want to be wrong.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Meltzer is making it sound like Arn’s release is basically just because he and Vince argue and no one is really upset. Sentiments towards him are still really good. Phew.

The person (Rovert on Twitter) who started the disturbing rumor about this incident ended up twisting the wording of what happened to make it sounds like it was a lot more devious or something inappropriate happened recently.

Anderson does have rumored allegations from his time in WCW that WWE wouldn't be happy if it became public but its not related at all to this incident.

[RP]

YOU TAKE YOUR NOSE OUT OF ALEXA'S PANTIES ARNNNNN I'M WARNING YOU!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Just relieved that Arn isn’t in the hottest water possible.

For 46 she's looking pretty good still (assuming these aren't old pics).

So if I'm reading this right, the guy who tweeted the original salacious rumors was named Rovert? Then the dude who clears it all up is named Trevor? Did no one else notice that Rovert is Trevor backwards? IJS.....

[Sepholio]

Way different people although that name revelation is pretty hilarious. Rovert's pretty much the type of person you'd never want hanging around in a forum based on his really terrible rep around the net. Like Cynick was pretty tame by comparisons for something TPWW related.


In relation to the Arn Anderson firing, Fightful spoke to a source that stated in relation to the final disagreement that led to Anderson's departure, that Vince McMahon spoke to Anderson in a way most have never seen before. The bad blood had already been boiling over, with Triple H long serving as a peacekeeper. While their were several WWE Superstars upset about the situation, some think that Arn will end up back with the company after things calm down. I was told this was expected to be a "blow to morale," with several producers taking sides.
Fightful confirmed Meltzer's story about a big argument happened leading to Anderson's firing. Only real new piece is whatever set off Vince created a reaction that is rarely seen from him.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol yeah, anything that Rovert posts should be taken with a grain of salt.

[Seanny One Ball]

Vince: Arn, what was Major Gunns like?
Arn: Not this again...
Vince: Ah come on Arn, what was she like? Do you think she had big boobs?
Arn: Do I think she had big boobs? Vince what the fuck?
Vince: Yeah... You know she had big boobs.
Arn: I...
Vince: I'd have called her Major Boobs Bigger
Arn: I know, Vince. I know... *Sigh*

That's how the fight started. No question.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I'm sure Arn will be back.

[Seanny One Ball]

He'll have to talk titty first

[DAMN iNATOR]

Have we ruled out awful comedian Daniel Tosh as being behind this?

[Phenomenal 1]

Have we ruled out awful comedian Daniel Tosh as being behind this?

And now a moment with DAMN....................Inator

[Nicky Fives]

He's 60 years old. Maybe he got told, "if you don't like it, leave" and he chose to leave....Y'all are making this a much bigger deal than it probably is.

[slik]

Rovert is a clown and always has been.

He makes Bixenspan look like an ace.

[Bad News Gertner]

Oh come on, Bix is great. He's just a giant fucking weirdo.

[ClockShot]

So, wait?

Am I now supposed to believe all this crazy Alicia Fox stuff on TV was actually her drunk all the time?

[erickman]

so who will get fired for letting jeff hardy wrestle

[RP]

So, wait?

A smell a hot gimmick.

[xrodmuc316]

If they fired Arn for that I can understand, because she could have hurt somebody.

That said, it's not like Arn is the only agent in WWE. Was he the only agent at that house show, because if not then any of the agents could have pulled her, in which case they are all equally responsible and should all go.

Also, didn't Michael P.S. Hayes get a recently released from rehab Rosa Mendez drunk like her first day back on the road, and got to keep his job?

That was like 2013. My understanding is that certain agents are responsible for certain matches or wrestlers maybe?

I just wanna know how Fox isnt fired for showing up to work drunk. Probably because she's black.

[rez]

This news will make KIRA sad

[erickman]

fox might do better going to the indys so it would do her a favor

[Emperor Smeat]

From Fightful on WWE's issues with Alicia Fox at the moment:

On the Alicia Fox situation, we're told that she was offered and didn't accept rehab and sort of went "AWOL" after that. We were told that Fox was on "thin ice" after incidents over the last couple of years, one of which was her being in line for a push a couple of years ago until she showed up over two hours late to a show. There were several names within the company who had no idea of what Alicia is up to right now, or even if she was or wasn't at rehab.

[xrodmuc316]

That was like 2013. My understanding is that certain agents are responsible for certain matches or wrestlers maybe?

I just wanna know how Fox isnt fired for showing up to work drunk. Probably because she's black.

Michael P.S. Hayes didn't get fired that time either when he told Mark Henry that he was more N word than Mark Henry is.

[Black Widow]

Well at least he didn't cosby anyone.

[Tom Guycott]

So, wait?

Am I now supposed to believe all this crazy Alicia Fox stuff on TV was actually her drunk all the time?

so who will get fired for letting jeff hardy wrestle

The real question is, since Jeff Hardy was constantly forgiven because he was a money magnet who makes girls scream for taking his shirt off mid-mid match... where is the sexual equality?!?!? Fox should pop 'em out before a Swanton. Doesn't even have to do the Swanton. Or even have a match. She could do the Lacey thing, but topless. No one will care about her BAC then, and she won't be of any "danger" to anyone in the ring!

[Emperor Smeat]

According to the Observer, WrestlingInc's report omits some stuff that happened backstage and is only 1 of 3 main stories going around regarding this incident.

Meltzer stated there are actually 5 different versions of what happened backstage and all involve Fox playing a role in causing it to happen. Also seems nobody who talked about it actually saw everything that happened.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sounds messy and kind of like death by cop, a bit, on Arn’s part.

[EIWF]

Who will take his spot?
:lol:

[#1-norm-fan]

THANK YOU!

[EIWF]

Maybe someone found out that Double A got himself some Buck and they fired him because it wasn't them.

[Tom Guycott]

Who will take his spot?

:lol:

Henning*

[#1-norm-fan]

Not a liver spot. Not your dog Spot...

[Bobholly138]

Oh come on, Bix is great. He's just a giant fucking weirdo.

Bix is a piece of shit. One day he is gonna mouth off to the wrong person and get the beating he has deserved for 20 years.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would love to see Arn Anderson as an agent/manager/commentator in AEW.
