WWE doesn't even have the Cruiserweight Championship listed as Vacant. They've straight up removed it from the website.

It may have been mercy killed.

3rd Rumble match with 15 cruiserweights to crown a new champion.

Vito def needs to be a part of an HR stable. HR hot takes everywhere!

let's be honest, with everything i've read over the past year, it was only a matter of time. he seems like a clown

Well drunk youre not really all there thus you do things you wouldnt normally do so when you sober up if its how you feel you are well within reason to feel violated

Yeah, it's been one thing after another with this guy. This doesn't surprise me at all.

It's a shame though, guy was really charismatic and was a great talker.

The biggest loss in all of this was Neville.

The Tweets probably made it even worse but somewhere between the accusation and his release I'm guessing something was uncovered that made the company go "nope"

Eh, he would have gone with or without Enzo.

On a less dark note now is the time to bring back the King of the Cruiser weights

Oh you mean those tweets you read?

This division is pretty much imploding

My guess is once the wwe realized was going to likely be facing rape charges upon their own investigation (following up on said tweets) they were like "fuck this we are out" cuz its not the 80s anymore and there isnt enough hush money to keep things quiet these days.

BADA BOOM! REALIST GUY NO LONGER IN THE ROOM!

HOW YOU DOIN?!

So, when Big Cass gets healed up, what do you do with him?

Police were informed 3 days after what had 'occurred', which would of been over two months ago, I can see now why WWE would get rid of Enzo.

Nothing...ever.

Make him into a Dog the Bounty Hunter character and his first bond is Enzo.

Shane Helms looks like Shane from Walking Dead

Give Gulak the belt!

Best case is to put him right back in the tag division since his ceiling for success is really small.

Also considering he was hated just as much as Enzo backstage, don't see him lasting long either in the WWE.

Hope they don't give it to Itami. Hang on, where's Spud, give it to him or Rapstar Potato.

Guess that answers my question as to whether his Straight to the Source episode was the greatest Kaufman-esque performance of our generation or he was legitimately a twat.

Potato is annoying in a good way, we don't want him to succumb to the curse

I say a lot of people will watch 205 tonight

Nah, probably read about it tomorrow. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I actually like 205 Live when I watch it. But I already watch enough wrestling as it is.

The accuser is now giving her account on tmz. Jayzus

You can find her Facebook now pretty easy too. It also shows where she works hope enzo doesn't go all g on her.

... I'm gonna try something...

Guys. Roman Reigns raped me.

His booking has raped us all.

SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan to address WWE 205 Live tonight
SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan to address WWE 205 Live tonight
With questions surrounding the status of the WWE Cruiserweight Championship and rumors circulating about a potential General Manager for WWE 205 Live, SmackDown LIVE GM Daniel Bryan has been asked to address these issues on behalf of WWE to kick off tonight’s episode of WWE 205 Live.

Among the topics Bryan may address is the status of the WWE Cruiserweight Title. Will Cedric Alexander still have his long-awaited opportunity to claim it at Royal Rumble? Furthermore, what would the possible addition of a General Manager mean for the future of the Cruiserweight division? And is there someone lined up for the position?

Don’t miss WWE 205 Live, tonight at 10:20/9:20 C on the award-winning WWE Network.

Shouldn't it be Angle making the special message considering the Cruisers belong to RAW?

Enzo's name may as well be Benoit, ateast short term. He's not going to be mentioned by name at all.

Yeah, but Bryan's there already. This is easier and cheaper, especially at short notice. He's been asked to address them by WWE.

Potential 205 GM = Spud

that can go with the bryan taking too much power story, take power from steph like he did from shane

I don't know if the rape thing is true, however sadly up until this point, Regardless if he did it or not. He never did much to sway people into believing something like this couldn't happen.

Enzo has always been a goof, but despite that, up until very recently he did bring some importance to 205 Live, because he was the ultimate Heel champion for that division.

Regardless if he is guilty or not, I hope Eric will wake up and make changes to turn his life around.

he can do like he did to Dixie kiss vinces ass story wise

True.

Would be pretty funny if he just announced Angle as the new GM. Cruisers getting their own GM is pretty interesting though since it does give WWE a way to start distancing the division away from RAW and into their own brand.

Hopefully Enzo can land in TNA or something. Maybe he can run with this and do a rape gimmick of sorts. He could drug the whole Knockout's division and kayfabe rape them, he's have tremendous heat.

Haha, that's not true. If it turns out Enzo didn't do this and is completely exonerated, I'll give you an apology, but at this point it's actually you that is acting naive about the whole thing.

Someone mentioned Rockstar Spud and that makes perfect sense.

If you can get witnesses/co-conspirators to his crime, put yourself in the same location as him, have medical records that corroborate an event like that, and can even get some of his DNA, you might have a chance of getting an investigation opened.

For god's sake, just let 205 Live die. If anything good is going to come out of this, it's that Enzo has killed that belt for you.

Agree with this re: Big Cass.

A lot of work. But I'm willing to do it for the good of wrestling.

http://nodq.com/news/518760590.shtml

more lunacy in this trainwreck.

If only his wife still posted here.

I swear to god Noid if this turns out to be bullshit I am going to rub it in your face. Mainly because I'm very petty.

I'm guessing she's gonna respond calling him a liar and claiming the texts aren't actually from her... but that seems pretty damning.

I'm hoping he's innocent. Namely because the less people raping/getting raped, the better.

You're the hero we need.

The fewer people raped the better. You're welcome to rub it in my face. I'll still take the statistics every time. This does sound like a train wreck, and the texts will be looked into and checked for their authenticity, etc. I do find it weird that they are screenshots of the messages that show the date in the first one, but then nothing in the second one except they were screen-grabbed "yesterday." If you want to play armchair detective, why not just show the message stream instead of individual screenshots that you obviously would have had to dig for anyway?

This is such a mess, and there's way too much smoke to not take it seriously. If she is lying, she deserves to be charged with filing a police report, but if she's telling the truth, I hope all these punks helping to murky the waters get taken down too, to be honest.

yeah txts are hard to take 100 per cent seriously. Can so easily be doctored.

Well he says the texts were sent to someone else. Not directly to him. So all he would have are screenshots.

Could be like the Elgin situation where an outside source vouched for Elgin's innocence with texts and later got outed as likely being Elgin or someone he personally knew. Whole idea was to tarnish the victim's image publicly as payback.

Fightful.com has been working on a report about the Enzo story and pretty much stated its been a really messy situation so far. The drugs and victim supposedly being bi-polar as being some big issues.

This is true. But why not send them to police at this point? I mean, it's not like he's been allegedly traumatized by something, why not turn it in to the people investigating so they can get phone records and such? I mean, you'd think they'd have looked at her phone anyway.

Seems very, very murky.

Maybe they were shown to the police. He says he sent them to the girl who she says was an accomplice and she has been talking with police so I'm sure those texts have come up.

Maybe. We'll see.

From the comment section: "I actually dm'd Toopoor on twitter & sent her those screenshots and she said she would send them along to the detectives & I told her I'd be willing to speak to them if need be"

Could still be complete bullshit. No one in this mess seems particularly smart. It'll be interesting to see if stories stay consistent or whether or not they fold like umbrellas when they can get out of drug charges, accessory charges or whatever leverage is applied.

Even so, bragging about having sex still doesn't mean it was consensual. It's a hard concept to understand, but many victims do romanticize experiences and even brag about them. A case that happened close to me had a victim coming out and telling everybody it happened like it was a fun thing. Weirded people out, but turned out the guy was a total creep and she needed a lot of help stemming from the incident. Entirely anecdotal, but her texting someone and trying to spin it into a positive doesn't mean that she then didn't say no or get pressured into sex while under the influence and then needed to check herself into a mental hospital.

Wait and see how this plays out. Enzo has released a statement:

“Over the last two days, Philomena Sheahan has made multiple public accusations against Eric Arndt (also known as Enzo Amore with the WWE), including allegations of sexual misconduct concerning an October 2017 incident in Phoenix. Mr. Arndt fully and unequivocally denies those accusations. He is cooperating with the authorities in this manner and looks forward to having it resolved in a timely manner. Neither Mr. Arndt nor his counsel will be making any further public comments on this matter.”

Sounds like he's beginning to take it seriously, as opposed to wearing funny t-shirts about it, lying to his employer and basically being Enzo. Glad he's gone, regardless of the outcome, because some people just don't deserve a profile.

She should really get off TMZ and all that. That's not helping the image people want to paint of her being a gold-digger or social media junkie, or whatever.

so i watched her video on i guess TMZ. This whole thing seems like a train wreck. my question is she claims she was on all these drugs and basically out of her mind. so how does she know what really even happened? and she has one of those spiked dog collars around her neck while talking. fuck

Seems apt.

@Noid: Is there anything she could do or say or any new information that could come out that would ruin her credibility/rob her of the benefit of doubt in your mind?

Supposedly she still had a little sense of what was going on while the drugs were taking effect. Not enough to be fully aware or in any control of the situation but just enough that she could remember some stuff that happened before she blacked out or got incapacitated.

They did something similar when Dolph Ziggler vacated the United States Championship. It's still listed as "active".

That is not accurate. Amore and Neville were friends backstage. He didn't have any issues as far as losing the strap was concerned.

:y:

She posted a video on YouTube 2 weeks ago where she tells the story of how she lied about being pregnant to keep a guy from breaking up with her, keeping the lie going even after they went to the doctor by telling him her gynecologist said sometimes it doesn't show up right away. She's definitely not a credible human being. Could have still been raped despite all of this... But at what point can you start leaning away from believing the crazy chick attention whore who lies constantly and take away the benefit of the doubt?

"VACANT" is being listed as the current champion :roll:

If she came out and said "I am lying about this, haha," as far as things she could say. As far as things that could come out -- if credible witnesses say that they saw the initiation of the act and knew that Sheahan had consented. If the medical reports from her hospital tenure play contrary to sexual assault. If the people she spoke to at the hospital have some sort of insight that suggests that her claims are fraudulent.

But, basically, I give the allegedly victims the benefit of the doubt. Again, statistics say that it is basically pointless to pretend you are a victim, because people chew them apart, by and large. If she's making it up because she has a mental issue, I hope she gets help. But her being a train wreck human, as you said, doesn't mean she wasn't raped. It probably makes her more of a target for this sort of thing. And I'm not saying Enzo picked her out for that sort of thing, but she clearly lacks the sense of tact to keep her out of these situations. That doesn't mean it's her fault or completely okay for Enzo to sport fuck her while she's coked up and passing out, or whatever happened. She may not treat herself or others right, but she still deserves the dignity of having her claims be treated as serious and credibly investigated.

It costs nothing for me to give her the benefit of the doubt. It doesn't matter to me whether or not she is a junkie or a prostitute or whatever. It makes no difference to my life. I honestly don't get why people are concerned about things like her "credibility" in 2018. Like, as BigCrippyZ said -- if she said she was a virgin in court and then someone came forward and said "Hang on, I have evidence we slept together, therefore she is not telling the truth in this instance," it would matter more to me. Her being a train wreck just doesn't eliminate her from my scope of compassion. If anything, I think she needs more of it.

I'm not saying you're a bad person for not believing her or whatever -- I want to clarify that. She's not the sort of person I'd want to hang out with, either. I'm just of the opinion that going through her past to try and discredit current claims just isn't as relevant as other people seem to think it is. It's a shame people lie, but I don't think the truth cares about a lie you told yesterday.

If Enzo is innocent, I hope he is cleared of all charges. I can't see a way he comes out of this smelling like roses, however, because it sounds like he either had sex without her consent, they had coked up sex, or she was coked up and he fucked her. I say this because the other alleged witnesses all seem to put Enzo and drugs there, and the police seem to have DNA. All those scenarios contain some measure of a crime as the books currently stand, with the most benign being drug use, which the WWE may not take kindly to anyway. I doubt we see him back in the WWE. I can't say I'll miss him.

Does anyone find it odd that these allegations come out and completely wash away the accusations that Roman Reigns has been buying illegal steroids?

Why would there be "comeuppance" for a publicly traded company that deals in pop culture trying to get in front of incoming negative publicity? Especially something of this magnitude? They let go of Hogan for measurably less (all things considered), so I think potential rape charges, even if he is 100% exhonorated, is a giant pothole they would like to not merely swerve around, but drive on a totally different street from.

I am intrigued.

Not odd, but fortuitous. Like when that freak snowstorm dismantled what was destined to be a very, very shitty RAW.

Less conspiracy theory, more chicken salad from chicken shit.

He doesn't come back as The Hurricane, but The Punsher.

Yeah, basically. And they have a morals cause, which I imagine means they can basically fire anyone for whatever they want whenever they want. But innocent until proven guilty is probably the thinking here. Is the WWE jumping the gun? No, I don't think so, because removing someone from a public position is not the same as throwing them into prison for actually committing a crime.

Shane Helms jumped the shark when he appeared with Matt Hardy on TNA.

Honestly, it sounds like the world wojld benefit if they locked everyone in this situation up and threw away the kaey.

Hahaha, there definitely needs to be a hose sprayed inside some brains.

The new champ will adress the situation?

Is the WWE really about to try to deliver a teachable moment? If so then Gulak should be champ

missgucciwitch?

More like missbutterface

MIRITE?

"If I had a dime for every time I raped this woman, I'd have ZERO DIMES!"

"No further questions, your honor."

I stand corrected, but I still miss Neville.

God, if they actually put Enzo on the stand, his testimony devolving into shtick would not surprise me.

Became one of my five favorite workers in the company. I think he could have used a change of setting in order to see if people could take him more seriously.

Felt like I was watching TNA for a minute.

WE HAVE A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT TUNE IN. DONT MISS JT.




OUR MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT IS THAT THERE WILL BE A MAJOR ANNOUNCMENT NEXT WEEK.

78% chance Tito Ortiz or a masturbating midget in a trash can is 205 Live GM

A midget in a trash can will actually get me to watch.

Honswoggle isn't a stretch, form cruiserweight champion and has GM experience.

I like the way you're treating that position like a shoot, Fan. :lol:

I imagine it'll be Goldust.

bastard mcmahon too
