Lio Rush
Lio Rush has NUCLEAR HEAT and is in the DOGHOUSE per Sean Ross Sapp @ Fightful.
It stems from Lio apparently being a dick backstage to lots of people and bringing his wife everywhere w/ him, like she needed to be in his sight "at all times" or something. I guess Finn, who does seem to be genuinely patient and nice (I mean the guy was friends w/ Enzo) tried to give him some advice and let him know 'the boys' felt it was unprofessional to have her at things like rehearsals since this work and something happened that really pissed WWE off. Apparently there was some other incident backstage with someone where management felt the need to step in as well. Sean Ross Sapp speculates Lio might not be on RAW again depending on how everything pans out. |

With Cass, it was the one-two punch of him and Enzo being despised backstage and not following directions. With TJP, supposedly he acted like a creep backstage at times. |

Sooner he's gone the better. Either that or WWE needs to literally sew his mouth shut and just wrestle. Can't stand him. |

Is this the guy who complained about how it was hard to pay his bills with a wife and two kids? No one forced him to have kids before he was financially stable in his career.
Not very Lucky, Lio! |

This guy is the worst. Why they hired a guy who no sold a powerbomb off a ladder.

On the one hand I get him openly bashing the high school atmosphere pecking order thing in fact I commend in for it but if what Mark Henry said is true yeah you do need to learn how to spend wisely. You tell me to carry your bags and I say no I'm not doing that and then I lash out at you and then you get mad because I lashed out at you telling me to carry your bags like I'm your personal servant f*** you.

I feel mixed on this. One thing I do know is that the fact WWE doesn't provide transportation and lodging for it's superstars in absurd to me. They have nothing but greed in mind... They could take one year of Saudi blood money and put it towards health insurance, stipends and accommodations for years!
If you are Leo Rush you didn't get to WWE by having a lame personality. He's cocky, he should be, he's a WWE superstar and see's value in himself. I wouldn't want to follow the old school WWE locker room rules either, especially if I was a black man. I don't see any problem with rebelling against an outdated and disrespectful tradition. WWE locker room is pathetic. 300k plus paying for at least one flight a week and at least 3 hotels adds up big time. Why should you be forced to sleep in the same room as another person? People deserve space. I wouldn't want to wake up and smell Braun Strowmans morning shit or have to watch EC3 pop back pimples in the mirror. I support Leo Rush, even if he is annoying, I appreciate him standing up for himself. |

I agree w/ all on hazing traditions being dumb and outdated. And I agree w/ @Jordan X on the travel. The least WWE could do is pay people's gas for miles driven, like countess companies do when traveling for work. And collectively WWE would be able to garner great rates w/ hotel chains so they could afford to book their talent's hotel rooms too. And absolutely on health care for talent.
I don't have a problem w/ Lio being a cocky character but it sounds like he isn't a humble person, at all, backstage and doesn't follow protocol/common sense a lot. For those things I think he should endure some type of punishment, as you would at any job. Put him on a performance plan w/ a 90 day review. |

Haven't liked the guy since I seen the spot he no sold the power bomb off the ladder but he was growing on me a bit while paired with Lashley. Seems like he thinks he's a bigger star than he actually is and not wanting to follow locker room tradition just shows he's just out for himself. Have no problem with him asking for more money though, with AEW forcing WWE to hand out more money everyone should be negotiating for more.

I am sorry, but if even Mark Henry is calling the guy out, then Lio must be a real jackass.
Mark Henry rarely calls people out, and I honestly can't remember him ever doing so that harsh. |

Mike Johnson of PWInsider mentioned on his Facebook that KUSHIDA was helping set up WWE rings for NXT via being new to WWE and needing to earn his stripes/respect from the roster.

Yeah, if it's one of their performance center trainees, then it makes sense to have them do that stuff. But a veteran like KUSHIDA, or even Lio Rush?
It's just kind of silly to me. |

I had to get initiated onto a rugby team that was mostly a giant bunch of pussies when I'd played longer or just at a higher level than the vast majority of them. It's because, despite my veteran status as a player, I was a rookie on the team. There's also a way to get through the situation where you don't seem like a punk. You just have to own it and act like a leader even though you're kissing the proverbial ring.
There's a reason why guys like Finn and Owens, who took that shit in stride, are (never minding some rough creative patches) highly featured acts and locker room stalwarts. Whereas, a guy like Rush, who has a lot of experience, is landing in hot water. |

I doubt KUSHIDA minds doing any of that stuff. Anyone who came up in the New Japan Dojo knows that you have to earn your stripes anywhere you go.
Daft as these locker room "rules" may be, it's not like any harm is being done. |

I mean shit, there was a video going around in 2006 of Cena helping to partake in hazing the Spirit Squad guys, which basically entailed them getting the shit chopped out of them by Umaga.

I absolutely agree with earning respect, I just think being a water boy is kind of a silly way to go about it.

WWE can afford to pay someone to carry water into a building. Who respects someone for carrying their bags anyway? Wrestling is stupid.

The image of Lio Rush in Lio Rush pajamas is adorable. Could be his Lucia Underground gimmick.
