No it's not. Although I have to say if my wife found a picture of me being as unpassionate as that with another woman I'd end up wearing my balls as earings.

Hi Oliver!

I could extend it to "credible news source". It appeared in "The Sun's" daily wrestling news as a brief, and I think if there was any further proof it would have extended to a story rather than a rumour collection. Besides, it's not like The Sun strives to tell the truth and nothing but. While they wouldn't make up something outright they'll twist the information they have to fit their story, such as in this situation.

The only websites to have reported this have been "newz" sites run by Ryan Clark, who probably found the story on forums like this one anyway. The Observer, PWtorch, PWinsider, prowrestling.net etc...the "big" Sites haven't reported on this at all, probably because of the lack of evidence and therefore lack of story.

Lets assume the stoyr is true - Why would, for example, The Observer report it?

To be fair, if one of the WWE's biggest stars left his wife and kids to go off with one of their biggest current Divas - who used to sleep with one of the other big stars in Batista - that's certainly news worth reporting on, and fits Meltz's criteria. As it should.

Unless its had an impact on business I can't recall an instance in which Meltzer has reported this kind of thing.

To backtrack first, even the newz site have shied away from running the story, other than an initial "photos" story.

PWinsider tend to shy away from the personal stuff, but other sites aren't so sympathetic in this case - when there's evidence. These sites would report it to get readers. However, perhaps these sites don't report it because they have a conscience, it's not fair on Jericho on his family to spread unsubstanciated rumours.

Put it this way, Test's death didn't effect the business in any way. Sure, individuals, but not this business. That got coverage, so its the same thing on the comple opposite end of the scale I guess.

Absolutely. The death of an ex-WWE employee in an apartment full of prescription drugs and steriods has no effect on the business at all............................

I don't think his appartment was "full of drugs". Whatever the case it hasn't had any effect on business, and his example could count for any dead wrestler reported in the Observer. 99% of them have no effect on business whatsoever.

Are you two serious?

Last time I checked we weren't so far removed from Vince spending the day in front of Congress, and if ex-wrestlers dying young is so insiginificant to the business why does Vince attempt to look like he's trying to stop it by offering every single one of them re-hab?

And it still doesn't change the fact that The Observer doesn't report who is fucking who which was kind of the only point I was making.

Some deaths do affect business, but most don't. It doesn't mean that it shouldn't but ultimately the mainstream media don't give a shit. Vince is just trying to pre-empt the fact that they may eventually. Unless a wrestler works for WWE it's not that big a story, unfortunately.

I know the point you were making, I don't read The Observer regularly so fair enough. However, other sites do report this sort of thing and in this case they haven't. There's absolutely no solid evidence implicating Jericho, and it's a bit pointless for people to insist there is. The people who slated the Jade Goody situation but are adamant that Jericho is having an affair are hypocritical in my opinion, it's the same level of gossip. In this case it's perhaps worse as there's no evidence to make this situation anything other than speculation, and nothing you or I can say can change that. Even if there weren't kids involved it's unfair to suggest another man is having an affair, with nothing but fairly unincriminating photos to back this up.

Was the Edge-Lita-Matt scenario reported on these sites before or after Matt was released for blogging about it?

It certainly was reported before.

And Joe, can you please clearly state how Test's death has effected the wrestling business - without going off topic. Just one clear and consise example, single sentance will do.

All the little testicals have lost a hero and have no reason to watch wrestling ever again leaving a massive void to which Test's Testicals used to fill?

Since your a dumbass I'll reduce it to a dumbass point:

The induction of the Von Erichs into the Hall of Fame wasn't announced on RAW.



Obviously this is the most importance consequnce of a member of the wrestling world dying in his early thirties and there is no other potential whatsoever for the ever lengthening list of wrestlers dying young to harm to appeal of a PG product in anyway.

The fact you had to start your "lol" post with a needless and unwarranted personal insult, and then go on to a week and unfounded off topic manner which I asked you not to do speaks volumes. You would have been better off hiding your lack of a real answer by posting something funny like Deacon.

An insult aimed at you could never be "needless and unwarranted".

I was being as serious as this man

So if Test never died, the Von Erich's, one of the most popular wrestling families of all time would have been announced on Raw? And if it was such an issue, why were they inducted at all? The way I see it, I'm with the others in saying Test's death had no effect on the wrestling business at all. It has had no effect on attendences, fan awareness, sponsorship, ad revenues etc etc whatsoever.

Try again young Jedi.

Try again young Jedi.

Fixed, now your turn.

OKAY
