Stephanie Furious over Backstage Rib

[Dimensions 0]

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

 

-- Sean Conaway was Stephanie McMahon's favorite member of the WWE creative team. He has a reputation for befriending wrestlers, just to figure out what their real opinions of WWE management are, then ratting them out to Stephanie.

 

Conaway, along with a few other production assistants, were in the same bar that Orlando Jordan and JBL happened to be in after a show one night. JBL and Jordan decided to get some revenge on Conaway, and challenged him to a drinking contest, which lead to much more. Conaway lost the contest and began to walk away, however Jordan told him he couldn't quit, so he kept on drinking.

 

Conaway passed out in his room, and Orlando Jordan went in and ordered gay pornography on his room bill without him knowing. Conaway, who was still passed out, ended up completely missing his flight for RAW that night.

 

Conaway ended up lying to Stephanie McMahon about it, telling her that he was detained by airport security, and that was what caused him to miss the flight. She understood, and there were no issues.

 

The next night at the Smackdown tapings, JBL and Jordan told other wrestlers the negative stories about Conaway from that Sunday night. Not only did they tell the wrestlers, but they also interrupted the production meeting before Smackdown, which was attended by Vince and Stephanie McMahon, to tell the story about what happened.

 

As a result, Stephanie McMahon found out that Conaway had completely lied to her about why he missed raw, and needless to say, is furious. On top of that, now management knows about the other negative stories, and has probably gotten word about those extra expenses on his hotel bill as well.

Man this is some real soap opera type shizit, along with the Hardy/Lita/Edge thing all the fun stuff seems to be happening backstage this year instead of on-screen.

[Guest Rrrsh]

Hopefully OJ gets fired for this, as he obviously was under orders from JBL.

 

 

And that woudl be funny.

[AndrewTS 0]

This is even funnier considering nobody is going to punish JBL or OJ.

 

Maybe Conaway refused to show up for a hearing in Wrestler Court?

 

Hopefully OJ gets fired for this, as he obviously was under orders from JBL.

 

 

And that woudl be funny.

 

OJ is tall, green, and was trained by Rocky Johnson. They're not firing him for this.

 

Maybe JBL ended up watching the gay porn?

[Guest BrokenWings]

Why would someone who consistently rats out wrestlers suddenly lie in the face of something like this?

 

Other than the fear of a shower meeting with JBL, of course.

[iliketurtles 0]

That's fucking hilarious.

 

JBL and Jordan are literally just like what they are in WWE storylines.

 

This is more intresting then half the stuff they are doing right now.

 

I can just picture Jordan ordering a gay porno while this guy is passed out. Ditto with JBL and the Cabinet walking to the production meeting telling what happened. Hilarious.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

I fuckin DEMAND we get a Dennis the Menace-esque Prankster gimmick from OJ due to this.

 

Orlando Jordan, a winner is you.

[Guest Fook]

HAHAHAHA!!

 

Oh man...

 

This is gold.

 

I love the visual of OJ and JBL bursting into a meeting room with "Hey Steph! Guess what Conaway did!"

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

Orlando Jordan... Smackdown's one and true champion.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

I bet Vince though it was hysterical.

When is this bullshit with JBL going to stop? This guy, is consistently pushed by WWE, and he continues to pull the most childish, assholish pranks backstage, and nothing ever happens to the guy. No reprimand, no slap on the hand, not even a simple tongue-lashing, and this guy he decided to bully is going to take all the punishment.

 

JBL, who is supposed to be an adult, acts like nothing more than a 10-year old school yard bully, and I continue to have zero respect for him.

 

Sure, there are 2 sides to every story, and Conaway was a backstabbing jackass for doing that spy crap for Stephanie McMahon, but something has to be done about JBL as well.

 

At least kill this god-like push he has been getting for over a year, and/or de-push OJ for his role in this.

I'd like to know how the hell Jordan got into the guy's room.

Like it would be something new for someone in that company to have ordered gay porn?

God like push with all those clean wins, right.

 

Bradshaw's the best promo man in wrestling right now. Sure, he's an asshole but that's the nature of the wrestling business. This was hilarious.

Maybe six montsh ago he was the best promo guy around. But he has been saying the same promo for 6 months now. Now he is HHH stale.

That's hilarious..you can't make that kinda thing up. I wonder who's idea it was.

 

On Conaway's part, c'mon it was a practical joke...if they had shaved you (Michael Hayes) you wouldn't/couldn't lie to your boss about it

I don't recall you praising Bradshaw's promo work six months ago.

 

Don't you have a Shawn Michaels thread to post in?

Maybe JBL was IN the gay porn...

[Guest JMA]

Well, at least JBL ribbed someone who deserved it for once.

[Guest BrokenWings]

I'd like to know how they got into the guy's room

 

I'd imagine he had the key on him, so when he passed out they took it from him. Or he was fine to open the door, but passed out as soon as he hit the bed.

 

Also, Bradshaw was never the best promo guy in the wrestling business.

[Guest BobBacklundRules]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

The first thing that came to my mind was GIMMICK~!

 

JBL gets people drunk and OJ shames them. TAGTEAM~!

 

The whole angle will end when OJ goes to far and stabs someone.

That was quite the witty comeback, smart guy. I never said I did praise his Promo work six months ago, but back then he was fresh and doing his thing. Now he is not.

 

The best Promo guys right now is Eddie and Xian.

IMO, so what? I mean, it's obvious by now...the WWE is purely a 'locker room'. Not exactly a business..the business portion is left up to, well the business guys. Should the wrestlers not be able to have fun? And believe it or not, some people find pranks to be fun. (Hell...thinking about it, what else can they do? :/)

 

Edit- Ok, after reading the spoilers, so he is on top >_>. But once again, yea...on a business that's been known to be based around ribs, how can you punish someone for doing one? That's just not fair. Half the things that people get punished for, that people complain about, aren't ribs..(ie. The Rhyno thing) but this is one..he shouldn't be punished for it.

Stephanie should be more angry over her Inablities as Head Of Creative rather than getting upset at stupid shit like this, IMO.

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

Steph probably thinks she's doing a great job.

[The Robfather 0]

This is a great story.

 

Spying on wrestlers for Steph, that's pretty lame shit there. What a little bitch. He deserved even more than just getting gay porn. They should have ordered him a male hooker.

And of course we have Orlando saying he didn't do it, drives away in a White Bronco, and gets chased down the LA Freeway while the WWE cameras are rolling. Sure, it costs a lot to pull off, but hell, they pulled off Goldust and Piper at WM 12!

Wow, you do NOT lie to your boss after getting ribbed. I'm sure they could deal with it if he was ribbed, but to lie and cover your tracks is just unnecessary and stupid.
