The Man Known as Dan Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I always wondered if JoJo and Eva Marie had their deal directly with WWE or if E! had at least a portion of that. The fact that JoJo was not released today makes me wonder that even more. She apparently has shown decent improvement behind the scenes in Florida.

piranesi Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Rey's contract probably pays for itself in action figures alone. Plus they'll need him when they start filming LEPRICANO MEXICANOS, assuming Torito turns it down as too exploitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 As a bonus for just extending his contract instead-of renewing, WWE doesn't have to pay him his downside because he's not currently injured, he's just refusing to work. They get the best of both worlds - keeping Rey away from anyone else and not having to pay him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonL21 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 JoJo is better in the ring than Eva Marie. Definitely more natural. The biggest things against her are her size and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nature Boy Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 To be fair, JTG got a pretty good deal. 7 years of continued employment at a high salary without too many bumps and bruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I don't know if anyone else suggested this, but they could go by the European Union. Of course since it's WWE, they'd eventually abbreviate it to the EU, but it'd still be awesome. Not only has it been suggested, but it's an idea that has been around since Regal was in WCW in the late 90's. Possibly the most fantasy booked suggestion in IWC history outside of a Cena turn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Magnus, Douglas Williams, and Rob Terry as the British Invasion count as TNA doing it first? Would it make sense for Drew McIntyre to join Magnus and Bram (formerly Kenneth Cameron of the Ascension before being released after legal problems, for those who don't watch TNA)? Would TNA doing it make you hate WWE appearing to copy them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Why are people talking up JTG's length of employment so much? The man ain't got shit on Funaki who made it to twelve years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Funaki managed to get on air sporadically during that tenure though, when was the last time JTG was on, when AJ started up the crazy person storyline? Plus, some of the guys needed Funaki to order and receive their packages from Signature Pharmacy. Especially his neighbor HBK, who used him as a liaison to order his hair cream from Japan.

Who is still owed that title shot he deserved from January when he pinned the WWEWHC champ clean on Raw. Although, no CM Punk, no road wife for Kofi?
