TMZ is reporting that WWE flew two “senior officials” to Arizona to help Ultimate Warrior’s wife Dana following the 2014 Hall of Famer’s sudden death.

According to the report, the company sent the employees “almost immediately” after Warrior’s death with the task of helping Dana with the little things such as grocery shopping and informing family members so she can focus on her daughters.

They've been doing it for a few years now. Real lowkey. My belief is that WWE and TMZ help each other with certain news items. Someone important at TMZ is a wrestling fan, I guess.

The handling of Darren Young's coming out situation basically confirmed my suspicions.

But there are times when TMZ has reported stuff that WWE doesn't want us to know. Spoilers and other ****.

Still remember when TMZ broke the story of Trips cutting his hair. Took a picture of him outside of Titan Towers with two fans wearirng Trips shirts.

For me, Vince doing the mic work kills it for me. I really can't stand matches with Vince on the mic

Hearing Vince call a match is still better than listening to Cole or Lawler..I can't stand how Cole yells whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa every time a big spot happen..Prime example is when Dolph's music hits when he cashed in against ADR..And he's done the same thing on a couple ppv's..It's super annoying and I wish his throat would just get ripped out..

Current Jerry Lawler is the most heinous commentator of all time.

 

[spiderjericho]

Naw that would probably be Alex Riley. WWE definitely has some terrible commentators. Renee Young and Steven Regal are probably the exception.

Gotta say they're really deficient in several areas (Diva division story lines, titles meaning anything, commentators, etc). UFC has pretty good commentating teams (Rogen and Schillberg, Florian/Stann, etc).

 

[Peep Game]

I actually think Riley is one of the better ones King has deteriorated badly, Cole has been terrible for the majority of his career, and both King and Cole have made JBL suffer by association.

 

[HNL HI]

I think they made Alex Riley tone down the wrestling talk and be more wweish during the matches.

I think a ry does a cool job.(but he kinda reminds me of Matt strikers style a lil) Jbl was good and is now as predictable as king or cole. Get regal to replace king. But that won't happen. Sigh. Or something. I do commentary in my head half the time anyways...

by watching one of their vids on wrestling - i conclude that one of the featured writers is or was a big wrestling fan

Vince.

 

[notoriouslar]

I think that big entertainment companies (UFC/WWE) have deals with TMZ. There is no reason that half the stuff about UFC fighters, besides Rousey, gets posted on TMZ. The general public doesn't care about Jon Jones shooting a shotgun or what Chael has to say about Wanderlei Silva. Same with stuff like about the Hall of Fame inductees or Trips cutting his hair.

Real talk, I miss Striker.

Nigel McGuinness > Lawler & Cole

I love JBL on Commentary

 

[Peep Game]

Striker was cold on commentary until Vince told him to stop calling the moves. Went from saying the Kobashi DDT or Tiger Suplex to "wow, look at that move"

Oh, right it's a sports entertainment company.

 

[electricllama]

JBL is still one of the worst commentators alive today
