Welcome back to Wrestling World!
Today we have a few interesting topics to
discuss.
We’ll discuss the one former WWE individual
that believes both Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville
should be fired and fined for breaking Kayfabe
and how Jon Moxley just basically played a
role in getting some fans banned from the
ThunderDome, so let’s get into today’s
wrestling news
Starting off with the individual that believes
WWE should take action on Mandy Rose and Sonya
Deville for destroying Kayfabe
Kayfabe is a wrestling term that’s been
around for a long time.
Just to break it down and better explain the
term, it basically is another word for WWE
immersion
as the viewer, everything we see on WWE television,
we’re supposed to see as “reality”
For example, Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio’s
family have been at battle with each other
for months on television this year
We’re supposed to get that impression that
they truly dislike each other both inside
and outside of the ring because of their storyline
from this year
So If we see a backstage image of Dominick
hugging Seth Rollins, you can argue that they’re
breaking Kayfabe & ruining that WWE immersion
for the viewers
That’s basically what the terms represents,
so now that we’ve got that out of the way,
let’s take a look at the actual story
Former WWE employee, Jim Cornette, spent a
long time with the WWE early on in his career,
but Jim is making headlines this week for
his comments about the Sonya Deville / Mandy
Rose situation that took place in Sonya’s
home
The entire break-in and that horrific night
for Mandy and Sonya
Jim had a lot of things to say during his
podcast and I wanted to cover his comments
because there’s a lot of things I disagree
with
So what did he actually say?
Let’s sum it up.
Jim was saying that Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville
should be fired or at least fined for how
the entire break-in “broke Kayfabe” for
their storyline
He also suggested to wait for everything to
calm down a bit and to fire Mandy Rose and
Sonya 6 months from now
It also seemed like he would’ve liked for
them to put a Kayfabe spin on this real life
situation as well
I can’t agree with anything he really suggested
there and let me explain why
I’m all for keeping stories alive outside
of the ring and keeping that immersion intact
that Mandy and Sonya “can’t stand each
other, but with this specific situation, it’s
completely different
This event that happened at Sonya‘s home
is bigger than WWE and is way more important
than keeping a Summerslam story intact
Obviously, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville are
still best friends in real life, but they
can’t stand each other on WWE television
So Mandy Rose often stays at Sonya’s home
just to hang out with her best friend, there’s
nothing wrong with that at all
If the break-in never happened and they would’ve
just been on Instagram live just showing themselves
hanging out and having a good time then you
might have a valid case of saying “hey,
you’re seriously ruining the storyline”
But that wasn’t the case at all...Mandy,
Sonya, and a few friends were just having
a small private get-together to watch UFC
that night
If it wasn’t for the horrific break-in then
the public would have never known they were
together in the first place
Like I mentioned before, it’s not like they
posted a picture together on Instagram sitting
on the couch or something like that
We only found out about them hanging out together
because of the horrific events that happened
later that same night
For the 80s, the 90s, the attitude era, and
for a majority of the ruthless aggression
era, there was no social media, there wasn’t
any internet at all
All we got was what we saw on WWE television.
There was no social media or backstage rumors
online, it was so easy for WWE to keep that
Kayfabe and immersion perfectly intact
There were probably some fans back then decades
ago that probably thought WWE was even real,
that’s how secure the whole operation was
with no internet
Of course nowadays, things are different and
we get to see both the characters on screen
and a look at their personal lives through
social media
It has a few great features, if you wanna
tweet at your favorite superstar and tell
them that they had a great match tonight then
you could do that, it’s easier to connect
with your favorite superstars compared how
it was back then
But the internet also has it’s negatives
like the WWE dirtsheet websites and of course
the unfortunate situation with Sonya Deville
which started through the fan using social
media
Maybe it’s not what he meant, but I got
the impression that Jim wanted them to find
a Kayfabe way to cover this situation up
But you can’t do that, that’s distasteful,
and horrible considering what these two women
had to experience that night.
A horrific night that will obviously never
forget
Then on top of that, after everything they
went though that night, Jim wants them to
be fired and lose their job for it?
That’s terrible, they didn’t ask for this
to happen, this wasn’t their fault at all,
so why would they lose their job or it?
We have to be thankful that we don’t have
people like that actually running WWE because
imagine, you go through this horrible event
that happens to break Kayfabe, well now you’re
out of a job as well because of that same
horrible event
Just absolutely horrible, so that was my main
issues with some of the things he had to say
Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville were actually
doing a great job of keeping their friendship
hidden for the storyline
Remember that Mandy and Sonya were on that
WWE boat party together a few months ago and
they were never seen together in any pictures,
so they did put effort in hiding their friendship,
but when something this serious happens, you
can’t cover it up
Mandy Rose and Sonya are witnesses and the
victims, so they have to tell the truth about
that night
—————————————-
Let’s switch things up and get into a another
update regarding the WWE ThunderDome
We are just entering week 2 of the ThunderDome
and the fans have already been a nightmare
to manage for WWE
There were a lot of things that took place
during the first week of virtual fans that
got them banned for life from the ThunderDome
There were some extreme situations and there
a few light situations as well
There was one fan that was literally asleep
during the programming and that’s not what
WWE wants to see at all
There was one fan that was reportedly ban
for wearing Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley) Merchandise
Yeah, technically the dean Ambrose shirt is
WWE merchandise, but you get the idea of what
the fan was doing there, they were trying
to be funny by wearing Jon Moxley’s old
WWE merchandise and it ended up getting them
kicked from the virtual arena
There was also one innocent fan that was cheering
and chanting for Big E during a match, but
they were kicked out because they thought
the fan was saying other things
It’s been a big headache first week for
the virtual fans, but WWE is continuing to
crackdown and take out all these trolling
fans
There’s even a new report that says WWE
will start to put more trustworthy fans towards
the front rows and put the lesser known fans
in the very back just in case they try anything
And once you prove yourself to be loyal virtual
fan, that’s probably when you’ll slowly
make your way to the front row
I really like that idea and I think it should’ve
been like that since day 1
It’s pretty risky to give a random fan a
front row seat because you know just never
know
There was also another rumor that they tried
having an instructor for the fans to hear
that will tell them when to clap, when the
put their thumbs down, and so on
That report was met with mixed reactions online,
but I sort of liked the idea
A majority of the fans just look so zoned
out and bored at times, so it looks good when
they’re all clapping in unison and actually
showing a reaction
Like during Summerslam’s closing moments
when Bray Wyatt won universal title, the camera
zoomed out and there was a really nice angle
of The Fiend holding the title and all the
fans clapping in the background
It looked really nice visually for the camera
and for the viewers at home.
Is it weird that they’re telling you when
to boo and cheer, yeah it is, but we needed
it, we need to see them have some sort of
expression to what they’re watching, so
I don’t mind the instructor to be quite
honest with you
But what are your thoughts on today’s stories?
Do you agree or disagree with Jim’s comments
about Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville being fired?
What are your thoughts on fans getting banned
for Jon Moxley merchandise as well?
