Petty how you result to calling me a mark. Personally I just wanted to know what the fuck you're talking about.
I didn't think it was petty at all. I felt it was exactly what you were acting like at the time. As far as "what the fuck I'm talking about" I posted the evidence (which admittedly I really should have done to begin with. Sometimes I just assume that people have seen what I read I guess, mea culpa).
and I don't see how what Evan said was bad... how was THAT bad? wrestlers take potshots at cole all the time.
Bourne is way down that totem pole. He's a tag champion, meaning his value to the company is only slightly less then zero in their eyes. Fair? No. Justified? I also think no. Reality? Absolutely. He's also suspended right now and they monitor the guys's twitters. Suspended guys should sit out the suspension and be quiet if they like their job at that company, is my point.
And as for the Vince comment how is what he said bad? hell, Zack Ryder said worse in Z True Long Island Story.
The difference is that twitters are monitored, and the company pays lots of attention to what the guys do. I'd be shocked if any of them really paid attention to Zack Ryder's show...hell that's probably why he gets away with as much as he does. Also a reason why they seem to refuse to push him.
Now Avie, can we be friends? Yes, you do know what you're talking about and I was a little quick to call you out on being a drunk.
Yes you were. :)
But this whole taking tweets out of context is silly.
How am I taking them out of context when I've read the full tweets, and know his situation with the company right now? It's absolutely not a leap whatsoever for me to assume these tweets can and may get him into even more trouble and lower his stock that much more when he gets back. Thus putting him into a more favorable position to be a guy they'd look to cut.
Hell, I just read his twitter and those comments are still up.
Then he's willing to deal with the consequences I guess. To each their own. I just think it's a bad idea for him if he values his spot.
As for getting your sources, PWI is indeed more reliable than most other wrestling websites however if they make an article relating to tweets, I lose interest. It's either Jericho working the the IWC or "my twitter account was hacked."
"my twitter was hacked" is the worker equivalent of "the dog ate my homework". Sometimes I think it's funny to watch people torpedo themselves and say stupid things. All I'd say is in this environment people need to think about what they put out there in the world because someone you may not want reading it might.
Hell, what Evan tested positive for is still a mystery to me until and official report is issued.
Which I don't think ever will be because last I checked they're only required to report a failure and issue the talent's name. They do not have to disclose what he failed for. I have a few likely guesses myself.
So there's really no need to cut the guys balls off.
If he says stupid things, that can potentially hurt him at his job. I'm going to point out he shouldn't be stupid. Especially because he's part of a tag team, and his stupidity can potentially hurt his partner (see The Uso's situation). Apparently that's not been the case, so that's good at least.
I'm not being a mark, I am being rational and want the truth rather than bullshit.
Where's the bullshit? Nothing I said is bullshit. That's my whole point. To start saying "oh avie is being drunk or reading crummy sites that make things up" is the bullshit. It isn't rational. It leads me to think that because I see so many people here that go "oh Evan Bourne...he's so awesome with his dives and flips...why isn't he WWE Champion?" that my assertions that his behavior isn't really a good idea is being met with a markish response of trying to defend "your guy".
Now can we get back to talking about oily and greased up men having se.... I mean talking about hyper extended real life comic book characters?
Sure thing. I understand your points, hopefully you now understand mine.
