Honestly more people should be telling Vince and Triple H they suck. Maybe if enough people said it where they can hear they might take the hint. And seriously, if you're going to bill a show as no limits, the controversial opinions come out, then actually, y'know, do it and don't freak out when something controversial gets said. Noble idea, but unless it's a massive damn-near-everyone backstage movement, Vince and co will gladly show any locker room detractors the door unless it's a proven cash cow or someone they've backed to the moon. That's the position Ambrose is in. A guy like Zack Ryder or Tye Dillinger (just to name random people, nothing on them specifically) goes on there and says that kind of stuff (obviously not the live WWE Network version of the podcast, but the normal regular show Austin does), Vince/HHH/whoever would roast their ass in a second. |

What's even more f***ed up is this. If something happens to Ambrose... Man, f*** Brock Lesnar. Especially if Ambrose gets buried. |

Seriously, why does everyone take Meltzer at face value? He gets worked routinely by his "sources". The thought that Ziggler might go over for the title because of some "backstage heat" on a guy who makes Bob Backlund look like Ric Flair is going to get Meltzer's target audience all sorts of riled up and willing to watch the show (or, you know, even try out WWE Network for a month).

So what's funnier? Ziggler being the beneficiary of someone else complaining online about how they were used by creative or Randy Orton being the beneficiary of someone else failing wellness? This is assuming that Ambrose and Lesnar are losing, which they still probably aren't. Good point because it all depends on who's face and who's not personally. I mean, I can't see Cena beating Styles, the heel. With that said I can't see Orton beating Lesnar (even though Lesnar's a face, he's not as "face as Randy if that makes any sense). As for the Rollins/Balor feud I really don't know who wins here. Basically I'm saying I don't see the unanimous faces all winning their matches, something's gotta change. If Ambrose gets the belt taken from him chances are he loses to Styles at one of the next ppvs. |

So exactly how many guys is going to take complaining about creative until Vince, Trips, and Nips decide to, oh I don't know, FIX CREATIVE!?

Rusev, Sheamus, Alberto, Cesaro, Lana, Ambrose etc the list goes on... Well if Dean, who is a "controversial"/non-conformist guy, is asked to do the podcast for the Network, what kind of result do you expect? |

Until they start losing it as opposed to making it, they'll stay the course. (And by that, I mean actually LOSING money, not making less profit than other times in company history) |

Given how many times Ziggler has pissed off management with his tweets and other comments I don't see them throwing the WWE title on him.

Ambrose was well within his rights to say what he said. . And WWE is well within their rights to no like his answers. |

What's even more f***ed up is this. If something happens to Ambrose... I can believe this. Much as I love Heath, his reaction to that line was a little TOO genuine to be acted. There was this hardening in his eyes that just seemed too subtle and natural. As for the newz at hand, assuming it's true I kind of love WWE's logic. They want an anti-authority, rebellious nonconformist face...who never says anything rebellious or anti-authority. Exposes it as such a nonsensically shallow gimmick and shows why Roman tanked in the role. |

I know that (some) people love to see him stick it to Vince, but I don't give even 1 micron of a rip about that. |

This is another case of people getting up in arms over something Meltzer hasn't actually said, rather over conclusions they have drawn themselves from something Meltzer said. If you look at what he reported it is just 'some people are unhappy about what Ambrose said on the podcast', which seems fairly expected and likely, if people leap from that to 'This means that Dolph is going to beat Dean for the belt!' then that is their problem and not Meltzer's. I understand speculating about what the consequences of the heat might be but let's not put words in the man's mouth and then try and use those to discredit him. |

Vince: "Ambrose, as punishment for this I'm afraid I have no choice..."
*Ziggler looks on hopefully*
*Vince looks at Ziggler, then back at Ambrose*
Vince: "I'm giving you a verbal warning."

Whats the point of having a live pod cast if you want to restrain the guest by giving them heat for being honest...

If this is even true, does anyone think that Ambrose actually CARES?

Remember when the story used to be that Vince loved guys that would stand up to him?  |

I wonder if Glacier had gone to WWE and got backstage heat, if he would melt into a puddle
