How Kharma got signed + Sunny wants another run

[Snaptastic]

WWE talent Kia “Kharma” Stevens, formerly known as Awesome Kong, was honored as an active women’s wrestler at the Cauliflower Alley Club reunion in Las Vegas last week. She talked about her days with TNA without any bitterness and talked about signing with WWE. She said she has made it in wrestling without being a “skinny bitch” and praised Jim Ross and Steve Austin for opening the door for her to get into WWE.

WWE had its own table at the CAC reunion with Legends like Jim Ross, Sgt. Slaughter, Gerald Brisco, Ricky Steamboat, Ted DiBiase, Sunny and others. DiBiase was described as not moving well while Sunny is hoping for another run with the company. As noted before, DiBiase will be having both knee and a hip replacement soon.

Jim Ross never fails when it comes to bringing in talent. I don't know why they don't let him keep his old job there, though it seems he's still doing it to an extent anyway.

Re: Million Dollar Man, hope the surgery goes well for him, but I'll bet dollars to donuts he comes out looking about five to ten years older. Big surgery of any sort'll add years to you like nobody's business. I've seen it happen with both my dad and my uncle, and that's just in my family.

Thank you, so very much Steve and JR!

Correct me if I'm waaaaaaay off here, but wasn't Dibiase largely (comparatively) injury free during his career?

Why isn't JR head of talent relations anymore? Is it primarily health issues?

I think he was promoted to a better position.

Also, what about the whole "Triple H did it" thing?

[PKO]

I think JR stepped down rather than WWE replaced him. It's apparantly lot of work and a very stressful job, but JR really has an eye for talent so it's a shame.

This sentence has been written purely so I can get used to calling Kharma, Kharma.

If Sunny can stop being a collosal bitch then she could have another run in WWE. I stick by my idea of having her and Vickie feud over Dolph.

[I *still* ✡ Johnny]

Sunny for Ryder's manager!

[Altabane]

Bring Sunny back, she's still hot.

Oh yeah, and I don't know why JR isn't doing Johnny Ace's job when he's clearly better at the job. He must teach Vince skateboarding tricks or something....

[Hit Girl]

I'd love Sunny to come back

[Yami Daimao]

Moar Sunny would be de--wait for it..lightful. Delightful.

Last I remember, Trips is credited with the return of the pre debut vignettes Kharma and Sin Cara got.

Sunny is still really hot, I say give her another run.

As in Miss Delish, a.k.a Miss Steal Your Man, a.k.a Sunny.

Also, fixed.

I think Sunny would make a great returning manager, being the mark for managers that I am.

I agree. Let her manage Morrison for God's sake. Have her turn him heel and bring back the decadent rockstar gimmick for him. She could be his "sugar momma" and hell, he needs SOMETHING to add some charisma and character to him.

[Lancers]

I can just imagine poor Sunny calling up random employees of the WWE trying to get a contract.

Steamboat: "Hello?"

Sunny: "Hey Ricky it's me Sunny."

Steamboat: "It's 4am!"

Sunny: "It's only 3 here."

Steamboat: "Who gave you my number?"

Sunny: "Haha. You're too funny Ricky."

Steamboat: "You calling about a job?"

Sunny: "How did you know?"

Steamboat: "You've called like every agent except Arn Anderson. You've called Dean Malenko twice. And you've called some of the guys that haven't even been with the company since the 1990s."

Sunny: "So do you think you can give a good word to Vince for me?"

Steamboat: *sighs* "Goodnight Sunny."

*Steamboat hangs up. Sunny begins looking for Arn Anderson's name in rolodex*

I'd guess so, though his career ended due to a bad neck.

But I've never heard of him being hurt before that. He did seem to work a safe style, even with that out of the ring bump he liked to take.

EDIT: That IS Dibiase I am thinking of who liked to take that backwards bump out of the ring, isn't it?

I think JR stepped down to focus entirely on commentating as he was burned out from the hassle of being the head of talent.

Though his job now is to be a talent scout... which is great since he has an eye for it.

Please....PLEASE let Kharma/Kong have given Ross some tapes of Alissa Flash and/or Daffney. PLEASE!
