Fuck you troll And yes, I had a co-worker hysterical because her daughters school called her to pick up her child as she had a high fever and trouble breathing. Hope you feel good about yourself for trolling about a sickness. I never once wished someone had it, when I posted my earlier post I knew nobody with it and I know the media loves blowing things out of proportion. To come on here now after all of the mass hysteria and things being cancelled to beat your chest and troll me shows what kind of shit person you are. Congrats man, I was wrong. Happy now?

MORELOCK Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 9 hours ago, joseph2112 said: The XFL cancelled the season but they are paying their players for the entirety and allowing them to sign with any NFL team if they are so offered the chance. I'll be the first to come in here and bury VKM for his nonsense so in fairness I'll say that this is a pretty cool move. I think this goes a long way to legitimizing the league. As the board's default Vince defender/reality peddler: don't give him too much credit. People may not give a fuck about wrestlers, but Vince pulling his circus act shit with football players would have blown up into a huge story. He did what he had to. 1 hour ago, LoneWolf&Subs said: Yeah... Naaaaaaaaaaaah... It’s not like they were on big money contracts. Do you even know how much XFL players are being paid?

LoneWolf&Subs Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) About 55,000... I wish Deadspin was around they’d probably dig deeper into the pay. Edit: Although according to an article “the base salary, a bonus for being active on game days and a bonus for being on the winning team.” Edited March 13, 2020 by LoneWolf&Subs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Also apparently from the Observer... Quote After Wilson and Barrios were fired, people in the company continually hinted that something almost as big was being kept quiet that happened in December but said it would have to come out when the company made it clear. The company never made it clear, but a recent SEC filing when giving Levesque’s new title essentially opened the door for questions. Levesque was the head of talent relations, his main job, but also oversaw many other departments in his role as EVP of Talent, Live Events and Creative. So he was moved away from being in charge of talent and his main duties are now NXT, selling NXT TV rights overseas and expanding NXT globally. Brad Blum, Vince McMahon’s Chief of Staff, took over Levesque’s other duties as Executive Vice President of Operations, overseeing the divisions Levesque was formerly overseeing. It’s a change. There are those internally and externally who have called it a quiet demotion. The labeling of his new title gives the impression that he’s the guy negotiating with talent, but that is one of the things he was removed from doing. Mark Carrano no longer reports to Levesque and now reports to Blum. Either way, it is curious that this was kept quiet for nearly four months Edited March 13, 2020 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Well he is still running NXT, but him as a future force in the company is still up for debate. I think like all long running companies, WWE will have the same issues of who owns what following Vince’s passing.

If you take the 55000 dollar number, it's 27,500 for 40 players, 8 teams and 5 games. That comes out to 44 million bucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSJ Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 On 3/8/2020 at 9:16 AM, AxB said: The show must go on. WWE is not a democracy and considering that when Owen Hart died the thought of stopping the show never even entered Vince's head, he's not cancelling Mania. The only other people who could cancel it would be Tampa City Council or the owners of the Stadium, and both parties have a big financial stake in the show taking place as planned. So short of governmental intervention at a State or Federal level (which seems unlikely), I'd say the show happens. And when it doesn't sell out and is less profitable than anticipated, everyone will blame Covid-19, rather than the staleness of the booking. I've heard that that nice man in Saudi Arabia, MBS has not only offered to host Wrestlemania,but guaranteed a sold-out venue and is offering fifteen virgins to all participants. He's also gone on record as saying that the Executive Vice-Presidents of AEW are all "infidels" and he will try to capture a few of them in order to have a mass beheading prior to the main event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt925 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I have a feeling Smackdown will be the last wrestling show for some time. If 60-70% of the population will get it, 60-70% of wrestlers will get it. As soon as one tests positive in aew they will shut down. Of course Vince will fight that but I think this is about to be out of his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
