Guest art_vandelay Posted September 18, 2002 Report Posted September 18, 2002 The following article is from the NY Post: September 18, 2002 -- The world's largest female wrestler traded her characteristic muscle shirt and short shorts for a dark suit and striped blouse at round one in a courtroom face-off against her former promoters yesterday. The hulking Nicole Bass - a frizzy blonde who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 230 pounds - suffered relentless backstage sexual harassment during her five months working as a "superstar" wrestler for WWE, her lawyer Kathleen Tomlinson said in opening statements yesterday. But attorneys for World Wrestling Entertainment say Bass was a lousy wrestler, and is sore over being canned. Defense lawyer Jerry McDevitt told the Brooklyn federal jury Bass knew only one move - the "choke slam." "You have to be good. You're competing against the best of the best," McDevitt said as the massive wrestler listened quietly. "Ms. Bass wasn't good enough and that's what this lawsuit is about." Tomlinson argued that more than a decade of training as a body builder earned the 38-year-old muscle-bound woman her dream job with the WWE - though her "hopes were dashed very quickly." Bass could accept the entertainment value of on-screen sexual innuendo, but expected the antics to end once she left the set. The wrestler claims her male counterparts made unscripted sexual advances and regularly paraded in and out of the women's locker rooms. In one incident in May 1999, Steven Lombardi - a supervisor also named in the suit - allegedly assaulted her in an airplane on the way to England by pushing her against a wall, grabbing her breasts, and grinding his groin into her body. Bass says she feared for her life if she complained. Lombardi's lawyer, Laura Brevetti, told the jury yesterday no one on the plane saw "the commotion" Bass described as taking place in plain view of other passengers. All those years of jobbing and TE promo-training have finally made him insane and homosexual. I would never grind my groin against another man.
Guest The Czech Republic Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Steve Lombardi? I thought he was gay.
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 He is gay, that's (one of the reasons) this suit is so ridiculous. Isn't she doing apartment wrestling now?
Guest art_vandelay Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 He is? I was always under the impression that Patterson was the only openly gay employee of the WWF. In that case, there's nothing wrong here.
Guest The Czech Republic Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Maybe he wanted to see if Nicole was "his type."
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Back when she first premiered, I really thought it was a guy with a wig and makeup. It wasn't until after she left that I found out it really was a female. No, not even the bikini contest things convinced me it wasn't a man. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest Celtic Jobber Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 I think Lombardi is Pat Patterson's longtime partner.
Guest bob_barron Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Who would admit to getting abused by The Brooklyn Brawler in public??
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 When you think about it, couldn't Nicole Bass eat Steve Lombardi alive? I mean, she's HUGE! Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Could someone post some Nicole Bass "wrestling" pics. (You know what I mean.) I want to do some humorous photoshop stuff. If that fails we could just caption it.
Guest TheArchiteck Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Urgh...what the hell is wrong with these guys? lol
Guest Anglesault Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Yes, claim to be sexually assaulted by a homosexual. That will help your case. She might as well have said Jeff Hardy raped her.
Guest NoCalMike Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Maybe he wanted to see if Nicole was "his type." Bwahahahaha, just hilarious
Guest AndrewTS Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Lombardi isn't just gay, he was also pushed solely based on his relationship with Patterson, part of a big scandal back in the day. However, she's a lousy wrestler who exploits his manbeastish looks for financial gain. The case should be thrown out. Er...HER manbeastish--geez, I didn't even MEAN to type that, but just a Freudian slip on my part I guess.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Hey, there IS somebody who jobs to the Brawler after all...
Guest AnnieEclectic Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Idiot. She is. -Annie -{snausages}-
Guest humongous2002 Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Hey she looks like a fucking guy, probably Lombardi wanted to see if she was a she-male.
Guest JHawk Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 Defense lawyer Jerry McDevitt told the Brooklyn federal jury Bass knew only one move - the "choke slam." But does that really count? Sid knows that move for chrissakes!
