  • WWE Battleground/Seth Rollins Predictions
    Is The Future Of Wrestling Now? WWE Battleground/Seth Rollins Predictions Author : When Seth Rollins first stabbed his brothers in “The Shield” in the back, he joined “The Authority” and proclaimed himself the Future of the WWE. Why shouldn’t he … He was on top of the world. He had the protection of Triple H and the rest of the stable, he had the Money in the Bank contract and then, he had the World Title. With the Championship came a bit of hubris for Rollins. That Hubris has caused him to alienate all who have been around to help him and protect him. He had made up with them before his big title match with Brock Lesnar at Battleground, giving J&J Security Apple Watches and a brand new Cadillac, and he gave Kane an Apple Watch and a trip to Hawaii. It seemed to work as they ALL had Rollin’s back when Lesnar showed up on RAW. But all that did was piss off the Beast. Lesnar then went and tore apart the Caddy and had it junked. While he was doing that he broke Jamie Noble’s arm and suplexed Joey Mercury through the windshield, putting them both out of action. Then last week on RAW, Lesnar dropped the steel steps on Kane’s ankle. That pissed Rollins off so much; he then yelled at Kane and jumped on his ankle. So you can cross off the Devil’s favorite Demon off of Rollins protection list heading into Battleground. So what IS going to happen to the “Future” of the WWE? Here is one mans informed opinion.

  • 'Battleground' to Be Aired in 'Suplex City'?
    ‘Battleground’ to be aired in ‘Suplex City’? “With a pinfall victory on the challenger and not on the champion”, like the representative Paul Heyman for his client Brock Lesnar likes to put it, started the WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign of Seth Rollins this past March and is lasting till today. Despite winning the most prestigious trophy on the grandest stage of them all at Wrestlemania 31, Seth Rollins has made himself a much bigger enemy naming Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar, the men with the most feared and intimidating physic and attitude, who likes to settle his scores in his own painful way, that mostly leads to physical damage of any human being, who is voluntarily or inadvertently blocking the path of this dangerous creature. He is been called the Beast Incarnate and unceremoniously it is the best way to describe the endangerment coming from this men. But ever since losing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at this year’s Wrestlemania in screwing fashion, Brock Lesnar has released and publicly displayed his frustration to higher plateaus. Superstars like Joe Mercury and Jamie Nobel (J&J Security), Kane (Director of Operations) and many more already got victimized by Brock Lesnar and suffered broken body parts and multiple surgeries. In fact the only Superstar he hasn’t got his hands on already is the current Champion Seth Rollins, who is called the Architect or the man, who never fails in elaborating a master plan, which aids him to push his career to greater levels. However to push his career this time, he needs to outperform and outsmart the obstacle Brock Lesnar, who will stop at nothing to deliver series of Back Suplexes, which will immediately put Seth Rollins to ‘Suplex City’, to ensure he won’t achieve his goal again.

  • “Like I'm Invisible”: IPV Survivor-Mothers' Perceptions Of
    Journal of Family Violence https://doi.org/10.1007/s10896-019-00063-1 ORIGINAL ARTICLE BLike I’m Invisible^: IPV Survivor-Mothers’ Perceptions of Seeking Child Custody through the Family Court System Ellen Gutowski1 & Lisa A. Goodman1 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract This qualitative descriptive study examines the perspectives of 19 mothers who survived intimate partner violence (IPV) and sought custody of one or more children through the family court system. We explored these mothers’ perceptions of the nature of court processes from start to finish, their understandings of the impact of court processes and outcomes on their well-being, and their recommendations for improvements to facilitate a process that is sensitive to survivors’ experiences with IPV. Mothers interviewed in this study described an experience that was largely invalidating and distressing, compounding the adverse effects of IPVon their well-being. Qualitative content analysis yielded six clusters: 1) survivors must enter into a court environment that implicitly presumes the absence of trauma, 2) survivors face obstacles to getting their stories of abuse across and heard, 3) survivors experience harmful and helpful interactions with court professionals, 4) survivors endure distress in the courtroom, 5) survivors suffer psychosocial consequences outside of the courtroom, and 6) survivors make recommendations for an improved custody process that is sensitive to experiences of IPV. Results paint a picture of a family court system that has the potential to cause grave, lasting harms to survivor-mothers who are separating from abusive partners. Keywords Intimate partner violence . Domestic violence . Child custody . Family court .
