OK, having had some time to chill on it, I think the reason why I'm kind of uneasy about really driving home the Rosa/Hayes thing is just because Rosa's had so much personal trouble in recent years. Apparently she's a recovering alcoholic and spent time in rehab as recently as two years ago (according to Total Divas, which is why I use the term "apparently"), and then she supposedly had to deal with, of all people, Hayes trying to get her to drink again basically as soon as she got out. Then there were also the reports of domestic violence that she'd suffered at the hands of blink-and-you'll-miss-it main roster dropout Jackson Andrews, to the point where police ended up with photos of her bruised body from it, which could have easily led to the aforementioned alcohol abuse problem. Now, she's finally found some damn happiness in her life with a new partner and a baby on the way, and that could easily lead to her retiring from WWE to be a parent, which would solve the problem that is at the core of the whole joke ("This is why she's employed despite being not talented at all"). I totally see where you're coming from here, I wasn't familiar with all of those possible happenings myself. Still, I guess I feel that if the silliness is targeted in any way, Hayes has been much more the butt of the joke (screwing around with amusing gifs and Photoshoppery per usual), but I can understand not wanting to touch it due to related issues.

For anybody personally offended by this thread, it's a joke.
You'd think some of these folk were Rosa's family or something.

What are we supposed to do besides this? Say congrats? She won't ever see that. If you wanna congratulate her, go on Twitter. If we didn't spam Michael Hayes face this would be a 1 page thread on nothing that would have been buried after 30 minutes. What does someone coming into the thread wanna see in the posts? All we know is she is pregnant.

I just find it a bit hypocritical how many people get all over WWE creative for being stale or say, the Raw announce team for saying the same nonsense week after week but don't have an issue making the same joke over and over and over every time Rosa Mendes is mentioned. How dare you compare our highbrow memes to that crap when Michael Cole regurgitates what Vince McMahon yells into his headset!

Michael Hayes was inside her. It's impossible NOT to acknowledge that when talking about her.

Let's face it, this place doesn't need to mention Rosa in order to rapidly drive a joke into the ground. Just ask Seth Rollins' penis about that* {Spoiler}*if you can find it.

Grow some boobs, have people constantly accuse you of blowing a racist old guy for your job, then understand where people are coming from. Not really sure what that has to do with being personally offended for someone that you have absolutely no personal connection with and never will have a personal connection with. Unless you were kidding. Even if I did grow boobs and have people accuse me of such things in my own life...this thread wouldn't have the slightest effect on me because it's not about me. I'm just not so sensitive about posts on a message board. Until this board starts effecting how much money I make, or pays my rent, or can physically harm me...I'm not gonna take things so seriously. Like all the great comedians say...anything can be joked about.

I mean, a lot of folks on here love to imply any Diva they don't like sucked or f***ed to stay on payroll, and that shit's not okay. Hell, people love to imply the Bellas are where they're at because of who they're with right now, even though Vince was high on them their first go-round in the company. Mind you, I've made my share of Rosa Mendez/Michael Hayes jokes, and I laughed my ass off at the exact same picture being posted by four different people over the course of a few seconds, but I more than understand why some folks don't exactly see the humor in a rather sexist joke. A joke that came out of gossip from Chris Masters, a guy who would have never made it onto the main roster if Vince didn't have a fetish for oiled up muscle men. A guy whose initial run was based on his looks as much as any Diva on the roster at the time.

Making fun of something isn't bad if it's done in a light hearted way.
My friends still go on about the time I banged a 20 stone fatty in Leeds on a night out after a courteeners gig. Hotel security actually came into my room while we were going at it because my mates told them I had someone in the hotel room that wasn't checked in. They walked in, pissed themselves laughing and walked out again. On the train ride back the next day the whole train carriage knew about it.
It's 5 years ago and they still bring it up every now and then, but it's funny and something I did when I was young and dumb but everyone does stupid shit. Just grow up and take things on the chin and laugh. Rosa won't even read this anyway.

I think the main issue, for me at least, is that I can't tell if people are making some random joke that they don't really believe or if they actually believe the Michael Hayes/Rosa rumors despite a lot of inconsistencies in that story.
It's like the Randy Orton/Handbag thing. Sure it's funny to make a poop joke, but in the back of my head I wonder "you do know that he didn't really poop in there right?"

I just find it all stupid. It's like some girl you had a drunken one night stand with then years later she finds happiness with another man and they're about to become parents so all involved get mocked.
