Wait…so Nia is a heel now?

My “Alexa is going to win the title back after being proven right” senses are tingling.

Please Ruby win this…and get to the MiTB.

Wow Kofi…

Reading around, it seems she’s already been cleared by doctors in Tokyo.

WWEUK tournament brackets are up…

I’m reading the CM Punk Dr Amann trial notes from Wrestlezone and it’s quite fascinating.

My initial thoughts after reading Amann’s testimony was that Amann provided a good argument on his behalf. For example they showed pics of Punk at the royal rumble and there was no lump present in his back.

Now Punk and Cabana’s team are doing cross examination…I’m not quite sure what their defense is but I think they are just trying to paint the story that Dr. Amann didn’t do his job.

When you can do shit like this, you can flip all you damn want.

If they can show even perceived negligence on his part then they basically win.
Amann has to prove that Punk knowingly lied and did so to disparage and hurt him financially.

It’s not going to be easy and is likely just (as lots of people assume) WWE’s way of getting back at Punk.

Edit: Just read the notes.
Amann got destroyed by Punk and Cabana’s lawyers.

Real talk…Velveteen Dream is amazing.

…neat.

Can you link me to the latest?
From what I read, I didn’t interpret it the same way. Maybe I don’t have the latest.

Yes, I believe the burden on proof is on Dr Amann’s part as he’s the one doing the lawsuit.

Edit: disregard, think I found them.

Yeah Amann has absolutely no chance to win the trial just due to the fact that he’s the plaintiff. If it was the reverse and Punk was the one suing, Punk would be in the same boat. Too easy to dismiss this one.

So far the only thing this case is doing is clarifying what happened during the fateful Royal Rumble 2014. If John Cone was being legit, and Punk admitted to being concussed but also being pissy when they tried to take him out of the match early, it makes him look like a damn tool. It won’t affect the court case at all, but still.

I actually tuned into smackdown to watch Joe vs Bryan, only to be severely disappointed. Cass is terrible. He is absolute garbage.

Mind you…ratings for Total Bellas this season have been dropping.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

I was kinda hoping some random wrestler would’ve started dating Nikki during this time period, and we can make “cashing in Money in the Bank” jokes (esp. around the MITB PPV).

I’ll say it again. You know how to kill the ratings for a show? Completely invalidating the entire reason the season exists days before the season premiere.

i highly recommend reading the recap of the case. It’s more entertaining than the wwe storyline.

The physician who described the procedure mentioned the lump was not the size of a baseball or a golfball.
•Duffy describes the procedure, that requires using a scalpel to pierce and drain the lump.
•The Jury’s eyes have begun to glaze over.
•Duffy confirms that he would have cultured Punk, but Punk refused due to lack of insurance.
•Duffy confirms the use of cortical steroid injection to treat inflammation.
•Duffy indicates there was no “central pustule” that is usually an indicator of staph or MRSA.
•Duffy claims that the lump was not “golfball” sized, or else he would’ve noted it in the records.
•Duffy says “baseball sized” definitely would’ve been noted, had it been the case. It was not.
•Duffy describes the procedure as unremarkable. None of the squirting and screaming that Punk talked about on the podcast.
•Duffy prescribed an anti-biotic [monodox], as he’s done for everything ranging from skin infections to acne.
•Duffy confirms scheduling Punk a follow-up for one week later. Punk does not go to the follow up.
•Duffy sees Punk again on 3/20/2014, Punk still has a lump but Duffy doesn’t diagnose as anything other than a benign lump.
•Punk was reportedly responding well to Monodox.
•Duffy confirms that he wrote Punk an excuse note that mentioned possible Staph or MRSA, but the ICD code identifies that it was diagnosed as a cyst.
•Duffy confirms that Punk asked for the excuse note.
