Unless putting Lawler in there is a rib on him, which is something this company might think is funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that at least, those showing outrage at Alexa's tweet are equally if not more outraged by the notion that Velveteen Dream is still getting air time on NXT and being employed by WWE. If not, then they should shut the fuck up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'd gladly do it but WWE doesn't want anyone over a certain age taking bumps after Lawler almost died on live TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like, even so, having the whole "exchanging messages with a teenager" angle when at least two of your wrestlers were in hot water precisely because of that seems very... spiteful. 1 minute ago, C.S. said: No Raw Underground tonight.

sek69 Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Yeah they had NXT trainees and extras around the ring on Underground. They most likely all got quarantined at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I could've perceived the segment wrong but I was under the assumption that in the storyline, it was Aaliyah who messaged Murphy and not the other way around. So, I hardly see this as grooming as some people are ranting about on Twitter. Is that uncommon from girls Aaliyah's age to be attracted to older guys or am I completely overthinking this?

It happens, but when combined with WWE's real life issues, it's a bad idea and look all around. Part of the problem is that they keep people in NXT forever, so guys like Murphy are seen as "young." This angle would not be nearly as problematic in AEW, where they have actual young guys. Marko Stunt texting Aliyah? Fine, because there's only a small age gap there.

SirEdger Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Anywho, Murphy just appeared on RAW Talk and indicated it was pretty much a friendship storyline. Let's see if it's gonna stay that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Considering WWE's real life issues it's an even worse look to position the 19 year old as the instigator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 When the angle first started, I believed they were just going for the "Aaliyah has sympathy for this poor fucker", which is not bad. But specially last week they are making things muddled, like some sort of wacky misunderstanding. I'd prefer if they just played things straight, you know?

sek69 Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Reports at the time made it sound like it was 100% going to be a relationship angle, and all known info on Vince would suggest people's reaction to this is going to make him want to push it even more in that direction.

Strummer Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Oh man I just saw some of the deleted tweets Alexa made about Aaliyah/Murphy. They were all bad but the one where she says she didn't blame Murphy for "going after" Aaliyah had to be the worst. Have no idea what she was thinking tweeting that shit. Then she tried to shift the blame to all the "negative" fans criticizing the angle. Alexa seems down to Earth and level headed but this was quite the blunder.

sek69 Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Honestly I think at first she was just trying to help with the storyline since it's public knowledge she used to date Murphy and they seem to still be friends. Then she saw the reaction was less "boo this heel" and more "holy shit is WWE really pushing a storyline with a 19 year old and a 32 year old" and had to backtrack quickly. Plus it seems like "blame the fans" is a terminal condition for anyone who works for WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragemaster Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 I don't see the big issue with the storyline on the age thing, both are adults. It's not illegal for then to date or have sex don't see what the issue is? From the UK and the age of consent is 16, but yes I would find it creepy and wrong for a 32 year old to date or sleep with a 16 year old. But I think if you can vote, join the army and drink, its hard to say to an 18 year old, your an adult but it's still wrong for you to date that person because of there age.

Their names are mud online BUT Vince Russo and Billi Bhatti strongly believe Vince sees 1999 Stepanie McMahon in Aliyah. Initially dressing her up as preppy school girl initial so they can sexualise her later. Russo did write 1999 WWE TV obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
