And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

She might, but the real reason is because they don't comprehend the idea of someone going to The Enemy because they view all personell in the company as having the same passion for the company they do and loyalty. They don't realise that its a job and in sports team logic people come and go all the time.

The sheer volume of people who I've seen post "I think she's going to Hollywood, but maybe she'll do a Japan run if she really wants to scratch that wrestling itch!" is soooooo funny. Those are only two paths I can see Sasha Banks going down for some reason!

Yes. These people expect WWE wrestlers to be 100% loyal to WWE for life no matter what happens. Even if WWE fires you, you're supposed to just sit by the phone and wait for the call to get re-hired. Anything else is DISLOYAL BETRAYEL OF VINCE AND EVERY WRESTLING FAN.

I don't even think it's that; there's just a weird mental block some people have where they don't realize that, outside of WWE, there is an insanely big gap between AEW and the next closest competitor in terms of being an appealing workplace for most professional wrestlers who reside in America.

It's kind of the same phenomenon that has people going "Oh I'd love to see them go to Impact, they should go to Impact! Or maybe NJPW Strong!" for big name free agent men's singles wrestlers, even though nearly three years of history has shown that the vast majority of the time, the only reason those guys don't end up in AEW is because AEW doesn't want to sign them

Cavauro
Jan 9, 2008

don't know about some wwe person being aware of njpw strong without mindfully sidestepping aew. oh you're talking about people who are fans of that stuff not bringing up aew, not the same people. that's why you made a comparison to it. if it was the same people you owuldn't have made that comparison. sorry for being a Dumb rear end piece of trash.

TheIncredulousHulk

Impact also doesn't pay poo poo and people gotta realize that. I want to say it was Yuta who got offered a full-time contract with Impact and turned it down because a per-appearance Tier 0 AEW contract was better money. AEW's really the only one who can afford premium free agents unless they're willing to take a big pay cut

Like it's definitely possible Sasha wants to go do something else but especially if the lawyer story is true, that seems like something you do if you want to keep wrestling rather than just go to another industry entirely. And she walked out in the first place because she wanted to work a good wrestling program and wasn't being allowed to, which does not suggest to me someone who wants to quit wrestling

Idk though, guess we'll see. Maybe she's not even released yet

Not disagreeing but we do know how traditionally strict (only moreso over the recent years, too) they are about outside stuff including Twitch that they have no control in, and I wouldn't be so quick to rule out acting being included for everyone except the big names they can't control, especially with how hesitant they are at having more Cenas/Dwaynes who realize they can leave because of it

John Morrison loves acting and it's heavily implied he had to stop that/couldn't accept new gigs during his brief time back. Only an already-filmed show came out during that time with him in it. He's already filmed a miniseries and taken another indie role since being fired https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1320717/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Yeah I'm not a contract lawyer or anything so it's entirely dumb layman's speculation on my part regardless, but the Twitch ban and restrictions on other media appearances seem like the kind of thing that are at least partially enforced via the pressure of continued employment, how you're booked and whether you're booked at all, etc. If you've already walked out with the intention of quitting wrestling and going to work in another industry, none of that stuff matters anymore, so WWE's ability to restrict it seems like it comes down to the contract and while this is a demon cracker nation that hates workers, it still seems like a stretch that WWE could impede you from working outside of wrestling under your own name

Considering how legally shaky that poo poo is even within the industry, setting yourself up for a disgruntled employee who doesn't give a gently caress about their next stint as an "independent contractor" to blow the whole thing up in order to get out seems insane. Of course yes, Vince is insane, so it remains totally possible
