So at this point, is Alicia just AWOL? That sounds like she turned down rehab and just vanished after.

InFoxicated. More like The Enabler. Seriously, if true, this is very bad on both their accounts. ...dammit, InFoxication would be a great name for a move.

I was at the February 9th show so I may have very well seen the match in question.

Well one beer down and just bought a Smirnoff bottle, pretty soon I’ll be doing scissor kicks and spine busters. My carpentry skills are average though.

There's more news to this Alicia Fox thing, man... I'm still on the "Arn needs to be let go" train but Alicia, this is a big thing. If they offered her rehab and she denied it after all that's happened to the point where she went absent...nah, they need to take care of this somehow. Generally if you refuse Rehab they fire you. That's what happened to Umaga.... granted that was also with a Strike... which being drunk at a show apparently isn't. I think the first time Jeff was fired they offered him rehab, he refused and they fired him as well. As for Alicia, something really does need to be done. If they've offered her rehab before and she's refused, they either need to fire her or tell her it's rehab or she's losing her job. Not only is she putting herself at risk, but she's also putting whoever she was wrestling that night in extreme danger as well. Alicia's not a good worker to begin with, you add alcohol to the equation, and Arn is very very lucky something didn't happen. Alicia is almost 33 years old, she is not a kid, she should know better, especially to drink before a show. Alicia's also one of the more senior members of the main roster along with Natalya and should be held to a higher standard.

Are...are they that worried that Alicia would be a big star in another company or something? Is that why they haven’t released her after all this yet? Because anyone else in any other job would have been long fired by now. Quoting you both because I think the points are kinda related. Umaga refused rehab and was fired as a result, and was dead within three months, with his heavy drug use a significant contributing factor. I suspect WWE will have had that in mind with every case of someone under contract requiring help ever since and will give multiple chances to get help before pulling the trigger. Going AWOL isn't something to be brushed under the carpet, but it's a sure sign that Alicia does need help, and washing their hands of her without doing everything in their power to try to get her to accept that help first isn't a good look. Hopefully Alicia sees sense, if this all turns out to be true.

I mean, yeah, I’m not saying they should give up on her and fire her ASAP these seem to be recurring incidents that have something to do with either her mental well being, the company culture within or both. But there’s also the factor of this stuff happening and, from a public standpoint, they seem to just be shrugging their shoulders at it. One of the times it happened it was all over TMZ and...nothing. If they’ve tried to help her and she doesn’t want it...it just seems a bit weird that they’re still paying her. But I guess that’s what happens if you can afford it, I guess?

Well, she must (hopefully) feel terrible that her actions cost someone his job, especially a legend like Arn Anderson. No sides taken, neither were in the right here. I can see her being quietly released sooner than later. Yes it looks bad on the company, but if she was offered rehab and she turned it down that's not their fault, the same thing happened with Sunny in 1998, she didnt want to go after it was offered to her many times, she was eventually shown the door.

They both should have absolutely been fired.
I get that she needs help and everything, but her choices have consequences, and she could have very well paralysed someone out there because she decided to show up to work unfit.

The Arn part of this is truly awful. As for Alicia, hopefully she gets some help.

Unless there's other occasions I've missed, the only other incident involving Alicia was that argument with Ronda's husband almost two years ago. Two very different instances 23 months apart really don't qualify as a recurring pattern of behaviour.

If you close your eyes and listen real hard, you can hear Alicia being annoying in the distance.

I remember hearing something about her and Paige causing trouble at a bar a few years ago with a drunk Alicia getting into it with a patron. Although I guess it could've been of those things where it was staged for Total Divas I can't remember.
