>Mike Johnson pwinsider >There's been a lot of talk about the future of Lio Rush. He was backstage at Raw last night, but was not used. There's been a lot of talk within the company that he's going to be shifted back over to WWE NXT in the near future. Rush has been a polarizing figure backstage for some time among other wrestlers, dating back to the November 2018 European tour, where as the junior member of the tour, he blew off what has long been considered standard backstage etiquette for the junior member of the roster on overseas tours, including being at the gorilla position after matches to provide water to talents as they returned from the ring as well as carrying coolers and drinks into the hotels where the roster was staying in order to set up a common area where everyone could socialize privately together. These sorts of menial jobs are often done to show respect to the locker room and the business and are usually passed on to the next junior member of the locker room when someone else is brought up to the main roster. Given that this was his first European tour, those responsibilities would have technically fallen on Rush’s shoulders.
>When several veterans tried to explain to Rush that he was making a mistake at the time, he blew off the advice and complained to WWE management, which didn't score him any points. Things calmed down in recent months, but there have been additional issues, including Rush allegedly bringing friends and relatives backstage without proper credentials and other moments where he has blown off counsel of senior Raw roster members. Rush has completely disappeared from Raw with zero explanation of the end of his on-screen relationship with Bobby Lashley.

AEW can't come soon enough to get rid of this ridiculous, oudated, carny and toxic backstage wrestling environment.

Damn it bros damned if you do damned if you don't. I can see both sides of this. It reminds of when all the rock musicians act like drugged out dicks because they think that's what gets them notoriety. Rush mightve been retarded enough to think being overconfident and not budging would make vince see him as a star. Unironically it would have if he was 6'2 white or samoan
Anthony Robinson
This shit sounds like wrestlers have been brainwashed into doing whatever it takes to save the company money desu. They could hire stage hands to do this stuff, build the rings, etc, but instead they make the wrestlers do it. Then if a new guy comes along and realizes that someone else should be doing this all the brainwashed guys go "no it's tradition we must do it"
" not my job description, I ain't doing it not my problem " " why dont i have a great job with benefits and a foreseeable retirement?"
Camden Wilson
Even guys like Lesnar who were anti social as fuck was all about respecting everyone else , it's one thing if he didn't know, but it makes it sound like he was refusing to do that kind of stuff , which makes him sound like he thinks he is better than everyone else as even the Veterans do those stuff
If you and your co workers go on a business trip and everyone besides you drives then don't be surprised if people see you are lazy and uncooperative, I am pretty sure even Enzo had no issues getting everyone water

The other wrestlers realize it's a fucked up system, but it's the one Vince wants because it saves him money. They pulled him aside to tell him that's just how things are around here, but Lio thought it was some shit that the other wrestlers came up with. So Lio went to complain to management about it, who obviously told Vince about it, and ever since then Lio has been on Vince's shitlist. Whatever happened recently was enough to push Vince over the edge and now Lio is done.

Hudson Nelson
You're fucking retarded. I've worked as a solicitor for 8 years and none of what you have said is true. Stop larping you burger flipping autist. Use the 200 hours a week of wwe you watch to get a clue. Higher ups look for work ethic and dedication in things that matter. Not cleaning up an office.

the quality of the matches depends a lot on the amount of trust the wrestlers have for each other. you are depending on a guy to not paralyze you several times a night. thus the team aspect comes into play. small sacrifices like carrying water and respecting vets are the building blocks of trust and comradery among the active roster. if you're too good for teamwork, you're too good for the team. why should the team do anything for you in return?

That's not carny stuff. The WWE locker room is very football-like since they have (or at least used to have) so many former football players.

this isn't accurate. If it's a one-off where someone asks Lio to help pass out water bottles, it should be done because that shows flexibility and teamwork.

I'm not about to start sticking up too much for the dojo because it was a fucking nightmare until Tanahashi came along, but there's two main differences. 1) The guys there are trainees, they know what's gonna be expected of them, they signed up for it. It's part of their job. 2) After you graduate as a Young Lion, you actually get pushed and get treated like a star.
So you know what you're getting into, and you're actually paying dues in a tangible way and getting rewarded for it later on. Compare this situation and it doesn't really line up. Also, for the record, Aleister Black once told a story where he was doing this stuff, but Roman took him aside and said he didn't want him doing it anymore because he was a part of the roster and didn't need to pay his dues. So, uh, which one is it, guys?

You get just as much abuse in WWE but with none of the benefits.
Aiden White
bit of a difference between aleister black, ex-nxt champion and lio rush, guy who gets to walk out with bobby lashley. and there's also a bit of a difference in being told you don't have to do stuff you were willingly doing versus not deliberately doing stuff because you ain't nobody's punk ass bitch

Roman did that because he knew that Black was a guy that could be trusted and didn't think there was a need to "test" him
If Lio done what he was told someone would probably tell him he doesn't need to do it anymore very quick, especially as modern wrestlers don't have the same sadistic streak that a lot of Old locker Rooms had

Wyatt Jackson
You just dont get it dude. It's ok because it is true there is only so much room at the top. I'm sure every successful engineer and lawyer just waltzed into top schools and top jobs. People like you believe in the "life is fair fairy " .
Jack Thomas
I don't see any evidence that this will change with AEW.
Grayson Moore
the user above you has it right. doing absurd favors for your coworkers isn't paying dues boyo nor will it get you anywhere in life. unless you're being properly compensated for your time doing said favors they need to hit the bricks and find some other mf to fuck with.
Andrew Williams
Wonder what advice these senior roster shitters who can't bring the show out of its ratings tailspin tried to give him.
Daniel Torres
based Lio telling those fags to suck it
Xavier Rogers
Thank God JBL wasn't on the tour. Rush would have come back to his suitcase full of something like nacho cheese or something. He once took all the chocolate pudding from catering and filled up the suitcase of one of the rookies for disrespecting the veterans.
Luis Williams

Josiah Bailey
Lio has been wrestling 10 years. NJPW Dojo boys can't compare.
Connor Allen
I don't understand, he's reaching for the brass ring, like HBK. What's the difference here?
Eli Turner
I didnt realize Roman had a job training people and deciding when they were ready to be promoted from imaginary duties
Kayden Gray
It's OK if you want to be a bitch. I don't have a job description and have too many responsibilities. I don't fucking do stuff just because someone asks me too, I make sure there's a good fucking reason for it. If there isn't it goes all the way at the end of my to do list. Eventually you run out of time and that's when you realize you need minions and people to delegate shit to. You find capable people to do the fucking grunt work or you refuse it. If you're that dumb bitch staying overtime without pay when you would rather be anywhere else then youre the bitch and that's it. If you want advancement there's places where you can get that without having to be whore. if you want money you'll never make more money than in your own business. What you're doing is ass kissing

How did we go from not wanting to hand out water bottles to your co-workers to bernie sanders rallies and tax free hands out for life?
Are we sure this actually happened? People are giving their opinions on life and work over here, are we sure this is real. If it is, no one is surprised by this honestly. But is anyone else verifying this story? I mean we shit on Meltzer and Alvarez, so do we not question Mike Johnson as well?
I think the worst thing about this due paying stuff not that new wrestlers have to do it but that new wwe guys have to do it. For example Kushida just posted about having to take down the ring and stuff and he has been wrestling for years. You wouldn't need to test if a career wrestler is loyal or willing to do the job you would need that for random ass gymnast and football players that the PC grabs. Not to mention guys that Vince or haitch want to push get let off easy like Aliester.
>get shit for not doing grunt work >get picked on or pushed for not standing up for yourself >both of these can fuck you over but neither will guarantee you will be pushed
What racism has this young black man had to fight against in his lifetime? For about half his life he has known a black president. Blacks in every government position from White House to 4 star generals and admirals, secstate secdef supreme court, down to local govt officials. Blacks dominating professional sports, making millions to bounce a ball or sing. What oppression has this black man known his life? In his lifetime?
>normal behaviour. some degree of hazing is pretty normal when you play sports at a high level. rookies are expected to pick up dinner tabs and carry bags for the locker room leaders for a certain amount of their first year on the team. you must have never played sports or taken part in any physical activity before.
Benjamin Green
Seriously, When did talent become craft services for the boys
Joseph Clark
The water thing after a match is forgivable and can be written off as team building. But bag carrying when they already have to pay their own travel fees is just laziness.
Joseph Butler
vince really isn't gonna let him go now, he;s gonna berry him so hard his own family wont recognize him
Luis Ortiz
Lio, just bring the cucumbers. It’s dead man repellent
Caleb Russell

Luis Rodriguez
Watch multiple behind the scenes wwe special from the gorilla position. Never see a younger talent giving water to Reigns or Rollins returning back to the curtain.
Leo Ross
billion dollar company and yet they can't """afford""" someone to to those menial tasks
Cooper Roberts
>implying Vince isn't gonna give Lio a huge push.
Jaxon Lopez
No, it largely ended when 600k white men died to free the slaves. Name another country that went from minority slavery to minority president so quickly. I mean you can be nothing but a professional black man in this country, your occupation, black man.
Jack Smith
How is it that we've never heard about the water thing before? Can't believe nobody has ever mentioned that cuckery.
Jace Sanders
So, this is an angle, like Kofi?
Justin Bailey
Whitey you can have this nigger
Dylan Ward
you neckbeards are the worst kind of faggots and it shows you never played sports or had friends. it's just some light hazing to earn your keep and become one of the boys. in the context of sports, or wrestling in this case, it's establishing camaraderie and trust. the other guys are supposed to trust this whiny little piss pot with their safety and well being in the ring. how are they supposed to do that when they can't even trust him to carry some bags or water bottles?
Leo Campbell
Exactly. Just keep reminding yourself most people here have never done exactly what you said, played sports or had a tight circle of Male friends. Or more likely been rejected by one or both. In addition to being hated by their disappointed dads and well, you get them.
John Butler
All those shoot interviews over the years, and this is the first we're hearing of this? Is it just him they're shitting on? People who have trashed the company in the past like Honky Tonk Man, or people recently released like Enzo, Gotch, or Cass among many others never mentioned this as well.
Easton Moore
>Exactly. Just keep reminding yourself most people here have never done exactly what you said, played sports or had a tight circle of Male friends even though i know it to be true, i just find it really hard to believe. there have to be some normal, well adjusted anons here, right?
>including Rush allegedly bringing friends and relatives backstage without proper credentials Nig gonna nog
Nathaniel Nguyen
hes a genius for this btw. The company will have to back off and publicly lick HIS ass now.
race card is nigger tier tho.
Tyler Rogers
The crux of this is if other newer wrestlers were doing it while Rush stayed away and pouted about it. If the locker room tried to make Rush alone set this up, then they are carny as fuck, but if other stars were helping to carry water and set up social events while Rush did nothing, then he is just a whiny cunt.
Gavin Green
Im black, so therefore dont have to earn my stripes.
Dont the young lions in NJPW go through this for years?
But yeah, im black so wheres my pass.
Jose Barnes
It's more like, " I'm black, I have more than earned my stripes merely being a black man fighting racism everyday." In a country where you can literally be a black person as an occupation.
Carter Evans
this is an explicitly detailed part of dojo (which is a simulation of SUMO life).
The guys in DOJO know exactly that being a water boy is built into this step of their career. Lio swerved on being a Carney when hes pulling 10+minute of national cable tv weekly. When half the senior jobbers in the locker room havent sniffed the front of a camera in years.
Dylan Sanders
That’s a fucking shoot brother
Hudson Murphy
Straight up, blacks have the easiest path in all of USA. Nothing is expected of them what so ever, and any time they show even the least bit of effort, they are rewarded bigly. C-student blacks get full rides to college. F-average blacks who can dunk get paid to go to school.
hearing blacks in America complain about 'race' is literally the most pathetic thing i can think of, for people who live in a world where it is consciously and publicly known that the game rigged for them to win, if only they show minimum effort.
Ayden Watson
This should literally be an added verse to the pledge of allegiance. Word for word. There has never been a better time or place to be black in this world than the USA.
Elijah Reed
I was thinking something sinilar. Why doesnt wwe have people who hand out water and set this shit up anyway? Oh yeah, vince is a jew.
Wyatt Mitchell
The only small beef I have with this upon re read is the minimum effort. While demonstrably true, I feel blacks even get rewarded for NO effort. They show some, forget it, fucker is getting schools named after em.
Isaac Williams
Vince get off Yea Forums and go back to your dying company
Jacob Thomas
I'm a manager and have an office and everything and while I employ a cleaning crew I still let everyone know that they need to keep their area clean. I personally make sure the entire building is clean regardless if the cleaning crew did a good job or not. It's about taking ownership of what you do. Lio's case is like many other millennials who feel entitled to everything and expect things to be their way w/o paying dues.
Carson Allen
do not care about rush either way, but imagine a film/tv series telling the actors they have to do stuff like this because they are new. just another reason pro wrestling is the gutter of entertainment.
Leo Roberts
He’s playing it against a bunch of millionaire faggots, so it’s ok with me. Wait with me L I O! L I O!
Kevin Jackson
I use to work in a Sbux as the only Mexican in an all black staff. My black coworkers would argue and be rude with customers on a daily basis with zero repercussions. They'd drink liquor and smoke weed in the back on the clock. Everyone is too scared to call them out on their shit for fear of being labeled a racist. Blacks can get away with so much shit its ridiculous. It's never been easier to be a black person in America than today. You can coast through life getting everything handed to you while all the other races have to put in work and pick up their slack.
Connor Lopez
Say it*
Angel Reed
film/tv series are fleeting you can work for wwe for your entire life
Wyatt Watson
Tell that to the long list of fires talent, ya fucking simp!
Brody Hall
Fired* Damn phone.
Bentley Rogers
the fuck does "keeping your area clean" have to do with Rush being tasked with underling shit that they could easily pay non-talent to do to make some fake point about humility and respect. Paying dues used to be carrying the vets bags and paying for gas and you'd get to listen to how the business actually works. The fuck gonna learn from Balor except how to be a Gay for Pay bitch?
Jaxson Turner
i said can, as in it's possible, ya average iq brainletty
Daniel Martin
>Vince wants because it saves him money. >billionaire makes wrestlers carry watercoolers and serve other wrestlers to save 7$/hr
What is wrong with his brain?
Robert Morgan
There is a reason why that man is the manager and you are not, and never will be. And even better that man can manage away and be secure in knowing people like you will never be his competitors , ever have the fire or gumption to take his job. Now back to your cubicle and let the men talk.
No way. It's a shame there is a bullshit divide between Mexicans and whites. We are gods chosen to run this world. We wouldn't be in such close proximity and there women wouldn't be so God dam fine if we weren't meant to unite and rule the galaxy. Blacks back to Africa.
Ian Clark
the only good mexican is a dead one or one who stays south of that border "amigo".
Angel Barnes
>Pretending to know what paying the dues was then or is now cringe
James Jones
Blacks still back to Africa though right?
Easton Mitchell
they're a problem that fixes it self. mexicans are cockroaches and much more of an issue than nigs could ever fathom to be.
Easton Martin
True. Average black man does not provide and preserve family as Mexican. Hell if government gib me dats were shut down for a month half the black population would starve
Joshua Morris
Black ghetto trash and white trash (Lio and Enzo respectively) are disgusting as fuck.
Gavin Garcia
What if you had to pick one and only one race to cohabitate for life with your family?
Nathan Phillips
Lio, is an upstanding man. Enzo is a fake wop. How you doin!
Henry Robinson
Can? Only Kevin Dunn has a job for life and I hear once Vince is gone, his ass is fired. Ya Jew simp!
It ended long before Obama was President. Generally by the 1980s but legally by the late 1960s. You can't legally discriminate against somebody because of their race.
When's the last time Lio went to a restaurant and was told "Sorry, we don't serve niggers here"? Oh that's right, that never happened to him.
Ryder Morgan
Imagine cheaping out on minimum wage workers only for your performing talent to point out that fact to everybody on social media. He’s getting exposed as the carny cult leader he is no matter how many envelopes he pushes.
Mason Thompson
actually based for knowing he's above that wetback work
James Robinson
Imagine being a grown ass man and going anonymously to the media to complain about someone not carrying your bag. Fucking absurd. WWE is dying and this is the shit the employees are doing. Cunter and Steph sure are doing a great job.
Adrian Johnson
Shut your fat, virgin mouth. He said that as a threat to the WWE. If they fuck with him, he can turn it into a racial thing. That’s a good plan. He basically bitch slapped his bosses.
Ryder Scott
Based Lio no selling carnie bullshit. Cleaning up my own shit is okay but doing it for others? fuck no.
>Bray comes back and immediately negative stories about Lio come out Hmm...
Dominic Martinez
Based Lio dabbing on ass licking onions boomers and their cringe imaginary rules
Justin Barnes
>Lio takes the piss out of someone losing their job. >Wonders why he got heat. >Gets his shot as Lashleys hype man. >Already involving his wife backstage in the hopes of getting a reality show. >Lio doesnt want to pay his dues. >Wonders why everyone has a chip on their shoulder about his attitude. >"IT'S CUZ IM BLLLAAAAAC-" Everytime.
Connor Nguyen
> using race to your advantage > a good thing
Yeah, I thought it was all about equality but I guess blacks just want to go " my ancestors were slaves! Give me a job!"
I would still fire his ass and let him try to sue me. Then WWE can bring in a long list of former and current black talent that actually drew dimes for the company and weren't little race-baiting bitches like Lio.
Lucas Rogers
This a multi-billion dollar, publicly traded company, not a tiny mom & pop business. Why do you care about this evil company, drone?
Jonathan Murphy
that is actually based
Benjamin Perez
thats because vince appointed him that
Henry Hernandez
if those carny mooches pulled that shit on me i would tell them to pay for their own shit if they are so hungry they can suck my dick instead
