I've been away and am only just seeing this. Why does everything hilarious happen when I'm away?!

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've been accused of the same thing just because I got promoted twice in my first 6 months at the office by working my ass off every single day. You have no idea how much it pisses me off having all my hard work be overridden by "lol she's only gotten here by sucking up to the right people". I quit wrestling for this job. That was my dream, you really think I like being known as the office slut when it isn't even true?

WWE could quash a lot of the "hur hur, Rosa......Michael Hayes....hur hur!" stuff by actually demonstrating the merit of why a woman who seemingly has no relevant wrestling-related talents at all, has somehow been involved with this company in various roles for years*, while far more talented people have been released, fired, or alienated.
*After typing this, I realise this is also a pretty accurate description of Stephanie.

Here's the thing though. It's not like Rosa has been used in anything resembling a major role during her time in the company. It's always been bit roles that are dropped within months. For someone that's supposedly banging a higher up, she sure doesn't seem to be getting a whole lot out of it.
...Has anybody considered that maybe Rosa's just a really sweet girl and is well liked by everybody so they are just keeping her on since she can't possibly be breaking the bank with her pay, making sure to give her something to do every now and then? Because, that stuff actually does happen in real workplaces.

My theory is that Rosa isn't sleeping with anyone powerful in WWE. The reason I believe this is that she hasn't used that influence for anything except merely retaining her job. She appears so infrequently and does nothing at all, how powerful can her alleged lover actually be? If I was Rosa and was banging someone important in WWE, I'd have won the Divas title six times by now, be given a private jet, and hired someone whose only job would be to rub my feet all day.
A more likely explanation for why she's still with WWE after all these years is that Vince doesn't know who she is and isn't aware she's still on his payroll. He's a busy senile old man. He probably doesn't even know Samoa Joe has been hired by his company, let alone Rosa.

Because, that stuff actually does happen in real workplaces. !!! This Add in the fact that she's been very loyal to the company for nearly 10 years, which is a long time in Diva years without leaving or looking elsewhere for work. Clearly she's passionate about the WWE for sticking it out all these years when other girls that she came up with and trained with have left. And the part about her pay would be true as well. How much money are they truly gonna save by cutting Rosa? So why bother when, contrary to popular belief, she can serve a purpose elsewhere, such as a valet/manager or doing promo for the latin tours. OT: Congrats to Rosa and I wish her a happy, healthy pregnancy. With Layla retiring I think they should let Rosa host the new Diva Search to occupy her time while pregnant. Makes sense with her being an ex DS girl (and the last remaining oop)

Rosa's like Milton. She was supposed to have been fired years ago, but there's some sorta glitch in payroll.

Didn't realize people would take this so seriously. Again, Rosa won't be reading this. This thread will not effect her in any way. Any joke or congratulations on here will go straight into the message board abyss.
It's just a joke.
Rosa Mendes is having a child, probably pretty secure financially and works for a billion dollar company touring the country and the world while not having to work that hard.
Highly doubt she gives a crap.

Highly doubt she gives a crap. That's great, but we have someone here in this thread who has gone through the exact same kind of treatment, and they have seen it. And hell, even if nobody affected by it ever visited the thread, it'd still be immature and unpleasant. And honestly, I prefer my jokes to have punchlines funnier than "I believe this abuse victim only has her job because I heard some flimsy gossip that she had sex with someone".

On the off chance that Rosa IS reading this thread, I'd like to say: Rosa, next time you see Big E, tell him I said "hi"

Any joke or congratulations on here will go straight into the message board abyss. The "won't see it" part unsettles me a little, that should never be an excuse to behave one way or another. We really shouldn't operate under the stance of "well it's funny until we're caught". I mean either you're behind something or you're not. Saying it's ok as long as it's behind her back denotes that there's malice in it. When we think we have true anonymity like that on the internet is when real dickishness comes out. So yeah, just pointing out that's a poor stance to have for that side of the argument, continue on arguing other than that though.

Guess in the end...I don't find things people write on message boards to be that serious or have an affect on me.
And I thought the joke was more of taking some small rumor and blowing it up to the point of over the top, silly, ridiculousness.
The joke isn't "Rosa is a slut". The joke is more about Michael Hayes. At least that's how I see it.
Nobody is changing any minds on either side, so yeah. Some will find it amusing, some won't.
