Any man that's ever been in a long term relationship knows you have to say things you don't mean and do you things you don't want to in order to keep the peace. That's what I chalk this up to. Of course, I can't imagine how much HHH has to bite his tongue to keep the peace in the McMahon family. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Jesse won that lawsuit though. It's why his WCW commentary was always cut out of WWE DVD releases. Although it's now been put back in on the Network, so either they think they can get away with not paying him, or they've decided they can afford to sub him a little.

BurningBeard Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 yeah that's my point, it's pretty much parallel. In regards to TV it varies as to whether actors get paid for syndication, and when it comes to streaming I don't know what the general approach is, so it will set an interesting precedent at any rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, because that's my least favorite and most intellectually-dishonest response to criticism. Does the chef whose restaurant got a bad review brush it off because the reviewer is not himself a restaurateur? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo~! Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I guess it depends on what his WCW contract said about royalties? I'm with Buff on this in that I feel that wrestlers should get royalties for their past appearances. Ventura was smart negotiating his contract. I do wonder how much royalty money you could realistically get from the network? If Spotify and other music streaming services are any kind of model, it's literally pennies for several hundred plays of your song. I don't know how many network subscribers are going back to watch the Judy Bagwell on a Pole match from WCW New Blood Rising or if WWE could be bothered to track that stuff.

Even then, Bagwell wouldn't get the $9.99. Instead, JBL will show up at Bagwell's house piss drunk, wearing nothing but his hat, holding a pillow case filled with bars of soap while screaming "$9.99 Maggle" at the top of his lungs. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk...he's probably the only guy who could not toe the company line and face very little blowback over. I'm pretty sure HHH has mentioned how NXT and RAW are booked under very different mindsets. NXT is for the smart audience and I guess that makes RAW for the dumb audience...which actually makes a ton of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 All I know is NXT is 100 times better at getting faces over than the main roster. Yeah their are certain acts like Cass and Enzo, Bayley, Sami that HHH could job and remain over. The difference is knowing who can take a loss and remain as over as they were and who can't. That's something HHH has clearly displayed he's good at reading with the NXT booking. Balor for example would fall on his face with 50/50 booking.
