He must have the longest arm ever

[RazorbladeKiss87]

Or is that glove even on an arm?

[Dragon]

Take that AEW!

[RazorbladeKiss87]

So who's gonna be in the NXT version of the Jericho Appreciation Society?

[Curt McGirt]

In all honesty it's gotta be somebody outside the tub, and that's really covering his junk, so now I'm wondering who Penta is fucking and that is a question I did not imagine to be asking myself today at all. 

[Curt McGirt]

There is a joke about that that I refuse to make

Young rookie Kevin Owens

So apparently El Grande Americano is not only embracing the Mexican culture in AAA, but also their women if rumors and recent video this weekend 

[odessasteps]

Another way they're copying Sam.

[Dragon]

 

Should be slapping flags on those

Step up your game, Ryder.

Im a little surprised to see zero posts on the Ridge Holland situation. WWE & TKO are such fucking scum bags.

The rule of thumb has always been if a contracted guy gets hurt you keep paying him through the recovery. They decided to let his contract expire and not pay him while he's out with a broken leg. That's scummy enough.

But the latest development is Ridge posted on social media venting and not knowing how he was going to pay his mortgage, saying he felt screwed over by WWE.

Those scum bags then fired him for breach of contract (there was another week or two left until the contract officially expired). Due to that he's out two more paychecks. But now is also subject to the Andrade ONE YEAR NO COMPETE because he was fired for breach.

Im fucking appaled. That is a petty as fuck business decision that SHOULD be causing a ton more backlash than it has. This and Saudi and the raised prices and Triple H habitually having Trump's junk in his mouth. WWE & TKO are just big fucking scum bags.

I spy best of Tracy Smothers there in the back, so he's got some taste.

[Ryback Hates Bullies]

I remember when Bugenhagen started implicitly blaming Trips for his push stalling, and he later implied on Chris Van Vliet that he got told to stop doing that - I don't think he cared about a 1 year no compete, he was clearly never going to regularly wrestle ever again and never has, but he clearly wanted his 90 days.

Tbh the 1 year no compete is begging to be laughed out of court, but in the current political climate lawyers might not be that into it.

There is a growing sentiment amongst the wwe fans out there that wwe is a business, therefore nothing they do is wrong. If Tony Khan... shit, if Vince McMahon had done this, they'd be losing their minds. But Trips can do no wrong according to a lot of them, so it's not an issue. 

[odessasteps]

Also, awful people doing awful things has been normalized.

[Shartnado]

Wait, Andrade is on a one year no compete clause? After already showing up in AEW?!? Yikes! I must have missed something while trying to avoid spoilers. Pretty messed up, if accurate. Also, the Ridge Holland situation sounds awful. There's another guy who has had the most awful luck for a long while!

[NoFistsJustFlips]

Yeah the Andrade situation is really weird how it played out.

He got fired for wellness violations. Now with a firing there never used to be a no compete. Youre free to show up where ever because they stop paying you. I think WWE thought AEW wouldn't touch him.

But AEW did. And when they did, WWE legal came calling saying not so fast. Now if you get fired for cause you sit for one year. Apparently its been in all the crantracts since a bit before the TKO merger.

Totally illegal if challenged in court. Because thats not how independent contractor positions work. If I hire a plumber to fix my plumbing but fire him, he's not barred from plumbing again for one year.

But I could rant on the illegal nature of workers getting fucked over in this business for daysss but I will pause it there for now lol.

The biggest thing is, he thought because of how he got let go, that he had no NCC at all, and that's why he showed up on AE Dub.  His main fault was (probably) not having a lawyer re-read his TKO contract (or if he did, getting bad/actionable legal advice).  

I'm not even getting into the NCC itself, because that ground has been tread on and yeah, he could probably sue to get out of it.  However... in this environment, with this company, and it's very specific connections to the government, the challenge is going to be, putting it mildly... extremely difficult.

Maybe they should have  a union.   

...

...TANGENTIALLY~!

Jesse Ventura is no longer under contract with WWE. His one year deal expired (or is about to) and will not be renewed.  It's apparently at least somewhat related to him shitting all over the end of the Priest/McIntyre match, where he sold Damien's walking out the door as cowardice, which is basically the exact opposite of what the producers were going for.  

As always, he wasn't wrong...  Just guessing Pritchard or whoever got pissed when he said it.

It would probably still get shot down eventually but my guess is that TKO lawyers would just keep pushing it out and costing the wrestler in question more money.

I think TKO has done a job (can't say good or bad) of framing choices as "TKO" and not HHH as the face. Part of that is Nick Kahn, and Ari Emanual getting out there and doing various interviews on the business side and HHH sticking to the creative stuff. So fans see the "business" choices coming from the non HHH execs. I think that's ridiculous because they're all in those big meetings together but people cheer for "the man" all the time and I not talking about Becky Lynch.

[odessasteps]

I presume even the other billionaire owner wouldn’t want to throw good money after bad to support him in that lawsuit. Especially since he himself has done the “extend a contract by taking on injury time” tactic.
