La nouvelle a choqué la France entière. Karl Lagerfeld est mort ce mardi 19 février 2019 à l’âge de 85 ans. L’icône mondiale de la mode est décédée dans la matinée à l’Hôpital américain de Paris, à Neuilly-sur-Seine, où elle avait été admise en urgence lundi soir.
Dévasté par cette triste nouvelle, Baptiste Giabiconi – qui a démarré sa carrière en 2008 grâce au créateur – a décidé de réagir publiquement à l’annonce de la disparition de son pygmalion. Sur son compte Instagram, le mannequin et chanteur de 29 ans a écrit en légende d’une photo en noir et blanc de Karl Lagerfeld : “Karl, mon ange gardien, depuis notre rencontre tu as été mon guide, que serais-je devenu sans toi ? Je pense à tous ces gens qui ont croisé ton chemin et que tu as marqué à jamais. Je pense à Eric, Virginie, Sebastien, Brad, Jake et bien d’autres qui tout comme moi, se sentent orphelin aujourd’hui. Je suis fier de ce chemin parcouru à tes cotés, chemin parfois semé d’embûches dans un milieu qui n’était pas le mien. Moi qui avait tout à découvrir, tu m’as tendu la main et tu ne l’as jamais lâchée. Je mesure la chance d’avoir tant appris à tes cotés, toi, si cultivé, si brillant, un être à part, merci, merci d’avoir été là pour moi, pour nous. Aujourd’hui, je perds une partie de moi, un pygmalion, un père, un repère, un pan de ma vie s’envole avec toi. Tu resteras à jamais dans mon coeur.” Un hommage poignant qui a attiré des centaines d’hommages en commentaires.
Pour rappel, la santé de Karl Lagerfeld inquiétait depuis plusieurs semaines. Le directeur artistique de Chanel avait notamment manqué le défilé Haute Couture de la maison parisienne, le mardi 22 janvier. Chanel avait alors rassuré les fans du créateur en expliquant qu’il était simplement fatigué.
Depuis l’annonce de sa disparition, les plus grandes stars de la planète rendent hommage à Karl Lagerfeld. Donatella Versace, Victoria Beckham ou encore Carla Bruni et Eva Longoria ont fait part de leur tristesse.
Ce 19 février 2019, Chanel, après avoir fait part de sa vive émotion, a annoncé le nom de la remplaçante de Karl Lagerfeld en tant que directrice artistique de la maison française : Virginie Viard.
Karl, Mon ange Gardien, Depuis notre rencontre tu as t mon guide, que serais je devenu sans toi? Je pense tous ces gens qui ont crois ton chemin et que tu as marqu jamais. Je pense Eric, Virginie, Sebastien, Brad, Jake et bien d’autres qui tout comme moi, se sentent orphelin aujourd’hui. Je suis fier de ce chemin parcouru tes cots, chemin parfois sem d’embches dans un milieu qui n’tait pas le mien. Moi qui avait tout dcouvrir, tu m’as tendu la main et tu ne l’as jamais lche. Je mesure la chance d’avoir tant appris tes cots, toi, si cultiv, si brillant, un tre part, merci, merci d’avoir t l pour moi, pour nous. Aujourd’hui je perds une partie de moi, un pygmalion, un pre, un repre, un pan de ma vie s’envole avec toi. Tu resteras jamais dans mon coeur. Karl, My Guardian Angel, Since we met you have been my guide, what would have I done without you ? I think of all those people who crossed your path and that you have touched forever. I think of Eric, Virginie, Sebastien, Brad, Jake and many others who, just like me, feel like an orphan today. I am proud of this path traveled by your side, a path sometimes strewn with pitfalls in an environment that was not mine. I, who had everything to discover, you gave me your hand and lever let go of it. I measure the chance to have learned so much by your side, you, so cultured, so brilliant, one in a kind, thank you, thank you for being there for me, for us. Today I lost a part of me, a pygmalion, a father, a landmark, a part of my life is going away with you. You will stay for ever and ever in my heart, I love you

During a recent episode of Conversations With The Big Guy, former WWE Superstar, Ryback discussed what he believes killed his WWE push. Below are some highlights with a H/T to WrestlingInc.com for the quotes.
What killed his WWE push:
“I could have done a million different things. When I first got put into the main event, the first thing they should have done is that I shouldn’t have lost when I did with CM Punk. I should have never been put in that position with the momentum that we had. We had that for about 7, 8 months after that. Or, you avoid putting me into that position altogether and you continue to build me up and letting the process naturally evolve. That was about it. It’s not rocket science. We had lightning in a bottle, and they decided to let it out, and that is all there is to it,” Ryback said. “That could be recaptured in the right situation again, but you have to have both sides going for the same goal. If they’re not, then s**t happens. Everything was great, and there were good moments from that run, but anybody that knows anything about pro wrestling knows that it was all by design. It is what it is, it was a great learning experience, but who the f**k cares. It’s all fake anyways.”
Fans taking wrestling too seriously:
“I only think there is an outrage with a small percentage online where everyone migrates towards each other. The noise gets louder because they are all talking to each other, and are screaming to be heard. You aren’t going to please everybody. There are trillions of people on the planet. They have a product, and are making money obviously,” Ryback said. “They have a system that they have in place where they want an emphasis on the brand and not on an individual superstar. They know what exactly they are doing. When people are hot and cold, they know what they are doing and when they are doing it and know why they are doing it. They have an exact system in place. The brand makes money and you are never going to please everybody anyways. Even when they go in a direction where they put the championship on AJ Styles, you are going to have people that are going to be pissed off. They would say that Nakamura should be champion, etc. There’s always going to be people that are going to be outraged no matter what they do.
“My thing is enjoy it for what it is, it’s fake fighting,” he continued. “You have to look in the mirror and ask yourself why am I getting so upset. They take it too seriously. The energy spent is real as far as effort into the ring, but everything else is fake. Focus on what you like and then guess what? When it shuts off, don’t think about it. Go enjoy your life and try to better yourself. If you are worried about decisions that this company is making when it’s not on, I can tell you one thing, your life is not where it should be, straight up. It’s like people attacking and judging other people, why are you attacking and judging other people? Just focus on being a better person.”

WWE Smackdown Results June 5, 2018 Corpus Christi, Texas Report by Matthew Wilkinson for ProWrestling.com

IN RING SEGMENT
SmackDown Live kicks off with Women’s Champion, Carmella, who tells the Corpus Christi crowd to shower her with the praise she deserves. ‘Mella says tonight is not about her, it’s about Asuka, she thinks everyone deserves to know the truth about her, but first, she shows a highlight package of the Asuka fans have come to know, fear, and respect. Carmella says it’s time to remove the mask and reveal the real Asuka.
She then shows a highlight package from WWE WrestleMania 34 with Asuka tapping out and being defeated for the first time in WWE history against Charlotte Flair as well as her tag team loss on her SmackDown debut and being ambushed by Mandy Rose last week. Carmella claims she hasn’t been the same ever since and that’s why she has no fear for her match, because “Mella is money!” She claims everyone is ready for Asuka, including a fan she said is drooling over how hot she looks in person.
Asuka has heard enough, the number one contender struts down to the ring to meet Carmella. Before Asuka can say anything she is interrupted by Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville with Rose claiming that Asuka is a shadow of her former self and believes she was a second away from beating her and now she knows the truth, she knows she can beat her. Sonya then stops her in her tracks and says this week, it is her turn and Carmella questions which one she should face. The SmackDown GM has heard enough, Paige claims nobody speaks for her as she makes the matches and gives Asuka the choice of who she wants to face. The Empress of Tomorrow picks both of them and Paige makes the handicap match official, next.
ASUKA vs. SONYA DEVILLE & MANDY ROSE
Sonya Deville kick starts the match whilst Carmella joins the SmackDown Live commentary team as Asuka sends Deville back into her corner as a quick tag takes place, introducing Rose for the first time. The exact same thing happened to Rose though, allowing Deville to return to action and the former MMA fighter rocks Asuka with a quick shot, but Asuka snaps in a Knee Lock which Sonya escapes via the ropes.
The teamwork of Rose and Deville was on display once again though as Mandy distracted the official, allowing Sonya to take control of the match with some quick shots in the corner. Both women then do a smart job of keeping Asuka isolated in the corner, making quick tags to work down Asuka as Carmella takes cheap shots at Byron Saxton whilst ignoring everything he says.
Asuka finally snaps in the ring and hits several Hip Attacks to Mandy Rose, followed by a huge dropkick from the top rope, but just as Asuka takes control Carmella heads to the ring to brag and distract her, moonwalking on the commentary table, allowing Rose to make the tag to the fresher Deville who hits the number one contender from behind.
Asuka manages to hit a huge kick to take down Rose though which is followed by another Hip Attack to Deville, Rose manages to break the tag to save her teammate and Deville goes for a quick roll up which almost gets the win. Both women get back up and have the same thoughts, rocking each other with kicks to the head, knocking them both down to the ground. Both women just make the 10 count and even though Asuka rocks Deville with another massive kick to the face, Deville responds with a Spear of her own but Asuka kicks out just in time. The Empress Of Tomorrow smartly takes down her opponent though and locks in the Asuka Lock to pick up the victory in the handicap match.
Winner: Asuka
Following the match, Carmella heads to the ring and holds up her title as Rose attempts to attack Asuka from behind. Asuka manages to defend herself only to be hit from behind by Carmella with the title as the champion stands tall with the championship held high above her head.
The Miz is seen working out and almost takes out ‘Mr. Bootyworth,’ as New Day appear and want to apologize for playing too much with him and say they are taking things seriously. The group say they want Miz to help them reveal who will be competing at Money In The Bank, they have a hat with three names and want Miz to pick it out. He goes to do it but New Day covers his face and switches the hat out for another one full of pancake batter. Miz loses his cool and warns them all they won’t be joking later when he beats them again in six-man tag action as he teams with Rusev and Samoa Joe.
