Because a lot of people ask me, ‘When are you <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/going/" title="going">going</a> to turn heel? When are you going to turn heel?’’ Like, I don’t care because guess what? I’m going to be in the WWE for a very long time so you’re going to see both versions of myself for a while. So people need to shut up because that’s what I’m sick of hearing. ‘When are you gonna turn heel?’ Then once I turn heel, ‘When are you gonna turn babyface?’ You guys just need to shut up and let me do me okay. Why do you want me to turn on <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/bayley" title="Bayley">Bayley</a>? That’s my best friend. I don’t have a lot of friends so just accept it. Yeah, I play either one very well, so it doesn’t matter. They’re two different versions.”You can listen to her comments in the audio clip below:

May 25, 2017 • Admin

Russo welcomes <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/shawn/" title="Shawn">Shawn</a> Hernandez to the show.Russo says he doesn’t understand what happened with Hernandez during his most recent run with TNA, but there’s no denying that LAX is not the same without Hernandez. Hernandez informs that there was a contract situation between <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/lucha/" title="Lucha">Lucha</a> Underground and TNA that has left him in a world of trouble and legal problems. Unfortunately, he’s not at liberty to discuss any of the details at this moment.Russo says that there’s no doubt in his mind that Dixie Carter had a crush on Hernandez during their time working together in TNA. Hernandez says that in 2007 and 2008 Carter started to communicate and converse with him more regularly, but in 2009 after he broke his neck things got really strange.Carter flew him to Nashville and had $2000 worth of clothes laid out for him to try on. She told Hernandez that they were going to do a photoshoot and the photos would be utilized for an upcoming push when he returned from injury. Hernandez tried on all the different clothes and took the pictures, but those <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/shots/" title="shots">shots</a> were never used on TNA programming. Russo laughs and says there’s no doubt Carter had an obsession with Hernandez.

The Taz Show Recap – Backlash Analysis, Don’t Hinder Jinder, Difference Between 205Live & UK Wrestlers, More!

May 23, 2017 • Admin

<h1>Block 1:</h1>Taz opens today’s show speaking about the online fan criticism directed at Jinder Mahal after he captured the WWE Championship at Backlash last night. A lot of fans seem to be <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/angry/" title="angry">angry</a> at Mahal’s meteoric rise to the top of the WWE roster, along with claiming that he must be taking steroids to have a body like he does.Taz points out that steroids don’t make you a better professional wrestler, and he says PED use <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/means/" title="means">means</a> nothing to him in professional sports. He’s not suggesting that people start using PEDs, but he couldn’t care less if people do choose to use them at a professional <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/level/" title="level">level</a>.He says that he doesn’t know Jinder Mahal at all, but he’ll defend any wrestler who has paid his/her dues over the years, and Mahal has certainly done that. After dealing with a plethora of terrible gimmicks and then eventually getting released, Mahal worked his ass off and made it all the way back to the top and he deserves a lot of credit for that.As far as fans’ criticisms that Mahal came out of nowhere to win this Title, Taz says that’s not the case at all. Mahal has been wrestling for many years, starting in Canada before getting signed by WWE initially many years ago. He was released from WWE in 2014 and worked around the world at indie events before being resigned by WWE. His hard work paid off, and this win certainly didn’t out of nowhere.

Russo is joined on today’s show by Jeff Lane.Earlier this week, Dave Meltzer tweeted out that RAW’s rating last week was low due to the fact that the show wasn’t taped live since they were overseas. Russo doesn’t understand why these guys can never admit that a show sucks. The ratings are <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/going/" title="going">going</a> down every week, and this week’s ratings weren’t an anomaly. Meltzer needs to stop making excuses for WWE.Lane also points out that a fan asked Meltzer if WWE had <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/given/" title="given">given</a> any thought to the Tag Team Title match main eventing the Extreme Rules PPV. Meltzer answered by saying that those meetings haven’t taken <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/place/" title="place">place</a> yet. Russo says that it must be nice for Meltzer to be invited to all of WWE’s meetings. Russo says that Meltzer doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.Russo points out that this is the same guy who said that A.J. Styles would be moving to RAW in the latest Superstar Shakeup and that obviously didn’t happen. Meltzer didn’t issue an apologize to his error, and for the fact that he’s ripping off all of his subscribers. He says that all these dirt sheet writers just talk out of their asses.
