Keyword? Likely. Likely? Yes, likely. They are going by what was probable. They have no confession. They have no concrete evidence to hang him with. And yet, he will be punished. Does it seem obvious that he had to have known something? It seems very probable. I will admit that much. But is it enough to punish someone? Regardless, that is the ruling, which will be challenged. Have to see how that plays out.
This is a pro wrestling blog, right? I sometimes forget. How does any of this relate to pro wrestling? Go back to Mickie James. Go back to the drama around her mistreatment and ultimate release. You hear a lot from the media as to why she went through all that. Did people actually analyze what was going on even before her release and all that mistreatment. With the Brady drama, you had investigators doing interviews and checking cell phones. I am not saying anyone had to do an investigation with what happened with Mickie James. How about analysis? It's not as difficult.
Analyze the diva division. Analyze what the WWE has a history of doing with the various women. Analyze the career of Mickie James. Fit her into what they have a history of doing. Look at how they would push her. Look at the depth of the division. I have done this many times. You have a women's division that likes to build around eye-candy divas. The majority of female wrestlers get pushed to put over that eye-candy centerpiece and are used as filler. During Mickie's time in the WWE after Trish and Lita retired, the WWE was only interested in creating a new eye-candy centerpiece. No female wrestlers were developed as stars until AJ Lee in 2012. Mickie James was pushed as a credible jobber. She was used to put over the stars and used as filler when they were not around. Depth was horrible at the time, leaving Mickie James as the only face with wrestling credibility in many situations. Mickie James got over off of this type of career, which had never happened before since the diva division started, and the WWE continued along in the direction they wanted to work out, even though their chosen women did not work out.
Given what the WWE has a history of doing in the diva division and how they were pushing Mickie James throughout her career, what seems like the obvious explanation for what happened? Mickie James was doing something horrible to warrant the WWE's mistreatment? Or the WWE is doing something horrible with their diva division and Mickie James got in the way? If you need something more to consider, keep in mind later dramas with guys like Christian, Zack Ryder, and Daniel Bryan.
You want to talk about what is likely or probable or obvious? Tom Brady is found guilty of something based on it seeming obvious he is guilty. To me, what happened with Mickie James is even more obvious. A woman gets over off a type of career where no woman ever does get over. The WWE continues to treat her the same way they would had she never gotten over. The women they want to be stars are flopping. The WWE has shown in recent years that they will mistreat men that they do not want to push as the fans want to see. When you put it all together, it seems very obvious why Mickie James was released. The WWE just didn't want to have to push her anymore. Dirtsheets botched. And it is not just about one woman. The problem is still there for more women to have to endure. And no one talks about it. I think this is more important than deflated balls.
