-As first reported in this week's new PWTorch Newsletter (now available in a text version within our iPhone/iPad app for VIP members), one of the reasons Brian Gewirtz was relieved of his duties was that his replacement, Eric Pankowski, had really impressed Vince McMahon and earned his trust over the last eight months since he was hired. Also, Pankowski is considered "a Triple H guy." Meanwhile, as has been reported, Gewirtz had been working a lot from home lately, hadn't been on the road much at all, and was only in the office a few days a week. While just a couple years ago Gewirtz was considered as close to McMahon and as trusted by McMahon as anyone besides family and Kevin Dunn, he has fallen out of favor since.
-Also of note, Vince McMahon went on a tear before Raw on Monday, but in the midst of all of that, there is a buzz because one prominent wrestler fired back at Vince and didn't hold back. Details are sketchy because so few people were in the room, but PWTorch has learned that at least one powerful player in WWE let Vince know that he is a big part of the problem and blaming others and trying to intimidate people into fearing his wrath doesn't change that fact.
Well, if you hated seeing ADR on television before, brace yourselves. I suspect he'll have earned Vince's respect with that move (assuming the source is correct).
Del Rio's not going to get buried.
1. Vince seems to need ADR more than ADR needs Vince.
2. Vince seems to "respect" (or get off) on people being confrontational with him.
Del Rio won't get buried. Vince loves it when wrestlers take a stand and speak against him. If CM punk was any indication, Del Rio might get a massive push after this.
WWE should sign Chris Sabin. We can have two Dean Ambroses then. When "Ambrose" is heel, it's the real deal in action. However, when he turns face he becomes a spotwrestler aka Sabin takes over. Or even better, let them be schizophrenic, beeing both face and heel at the same time, depending on segments. One of them is always waiting under the ring, so they have a two on one advandtage, but nobody will know that until 6 months later when Vince decides its time to reveal the "magic trick" that makes those guys recover so fast once they go under the ring. The magic trick is that they're brothers. I can all ready hear it :"It was us Vince, it was us all along" "Aww sons of bitches!"
Or create a tag team, call them "Mirror Image" and give them the tag titles. The only way you will tell who is who is by height and ring-style lol.
NIIice!.. Alberto Del RRRRRRrrrRRRRiiiiiiiiOOoooo. Wasnt expecting it was him, I thought it was Orton. Del Rio did the right thing, even if he gets fired he will always be remembered as the guy with the biggest balls in the current roster.
I love how everyone saying "Del Rio earned my respect" please. Everyone who goes out there and performs should have your "respect." People who understand what pro wrestling is about know this, marks.
Hopefully it's true, as Del Rio basically said all that needed to be said in that interview. Hoping he said something similar to Vince's face as well. It'd be funny if, after a match, Del Rio grabs a mic and walks to the ramp and cut a promo about the current WWE. I imagine it'd be something like this:
"Look at that eh, I just beat Zack Ryder for the 38th time to show how "dangerous" I am. How many more times must I beat him WWE? 72? 114? It is ridiculous. I didn't travel from my home country of Mexico to the WWE to job endlessly to real-life Beaker and beat nobodies all the time. And my "feud" with Sheamus? What fucking feud? The feud where I smash his head with my rental car and the other time he takes my other rental car for a spin and trashes it? Where we have stupid promos and he calls me a bird? And I say it's my destiny to beat him and then smile like a idiota. And then lose to him 80 freaking times. It's pathetic. I can work this mic better than any idiota in the back. Instead, I'm given shit for material with the destiny manure. It is not a surprise audience doesn't give two shits about me, hell I'd be surprised if they gave one shit. And we can't even be bad guys anymore. I take sign away, mother cries about it on Twitter. What do I have to do, go to ring and mean faces at my opposition? Pathetic Vince, change it, or this company goes bye-bye. And while you're at it, get Cena's dick out of your mouth. No wonder you always have bad breath when I talk to you."
*Drops microphone and flips off camera before leaving*
Now read that in Del Rio's face.
Not a chance in hell that happens, and we're still not even sure Del Rio or anyone for that matter said anything. But imagine if it did? Del Rio would become an IWC God overnight.
Vince is starting to realize the paradox he's living in. His obsession over his legacy and the health of pro wrestling is exactly what's killing his legacy and the health of pro wrestling.
