There's lots of fake reviews (fake positive ones from WWE and fake negative ones from the trolls) but you can tell the fake negative ones pretty easily, they post about the TV product.

I'm inclined to believe some of them are real. I've heard from people that have worked for WWE that it is considered an asset to have them on your resume (what some of the "pro" comments were about). Though that's simply because it's such a high-stress pressure cooker of a company that if you thrive there then you will thrive loving anywhere.

That's not necessarily a good thing.

yeah, i suppose it's nice to have a spot right at your building to park i guess. i mean, it's not manhattan but the building is downtown and it can get cold and stuff. also, they're looking for something positive to say about working at a horrible place, so options are limited

It doesn't snow a ton in Stamford these days but in the Northeast it's definitely better to park in a garage than a lot and deal with the weather. Especially since other reviews complain the office doesn't shut down in blizzards and it's also not the best neighborhood. For Stamford at least, it's fine if you are from an actual big city. So yeah it's nice to have. I wish my office had better parking, we've completely outgrown our lot and our EV spots got delayed so I'm missing out on a good spot until spring.

This is the old building which isn't downtown, it's right by the border with Greenwich. The building they are moving into has a garage too so they keep their only perk!

THE LIAR
Bischoff is lamenting the "Dark cloud over WWE" and the "innocent people" there and Jarrett is rambling on about stoicism and not actually saying anything about Vince. They are both choosing to talk like this. They are making purposeful choices in the words they're using. These are two men who have known and worked with Vince going back decades.

Ganso Bomb

turn it all around

I wouldn’t expect either of them to have good takes at this point, especially Bischoff. I haven’t listened to Bischoff’s thing because I don’t hate myself but Jarrett’s feels very hollow and like the dozens of “thoughts and prayers” tweets from politicians in the US when another school shooting happens every three weeks.

Just no substance and no real condemnation of the real problem or any stance whatsoever.

Yea, both really said nothing of interest. I assume they both think Vince and his people are still going to come out of this with all the power so they don't want to say anything too bad and have it and jeopardize future potential eaenings.

THE LIAR

Okay, I'm a little confused. In the video, which is from 5 days ago, right after the complaint came out, Judge Callis says "our hope is by putting this out there, other people will come forward." but the article, from today, says that she says "My office and my inbox have had a barrage of people wanting to come forward to attest about this culture of corruption and also possible victims. We are just beginning now to wade through all this but we’re frankly overwhelmed".

Did Judge Callis do another interview more recently? Or is "SLAM WRESTLING" makin' poo poo up?

Okay, it looks like Judge Callis spoke to News Nation again yesterday. I'll see if I can find video of that one.

Her lawyer saying “she is a broken person” really loving killed me. I hope upon hope that this leads to the end of at least THIS type of horrible monsters in the company.

You can’t fix all of the problems, but this is a big one and I want to believe that there’s still some good in the world for Vince, John, Paul, Stephanie, and everyone else who was involved and covered things up to get their comeuppance.

quote:

1. Vince McMahon is “gone”

Bajaria wasted little time when asked if she had any concerns about McMahon following the unseemly allegations that surfaced about the now former WWE exec a mere two days after Netflix announced the deal that will bring Raw to the streamer next January. “He’s gone. So he’s not there. He’s gone,” Bajaria said of McMahon, who resigned Friday as TKO exec chairman and on the board of the TKO board of directors after he was sued Jan. 25 over sex trafficking claims by a former employee who took hush money from the wrestling mogul. As for the deal, Riegg said it provides Netflix with 52 weeks of live programming and a way to bring in new subscribers while also expanding WWE’s footprint to Netflix’s 250 million global members. “The truth is we don’t know how much bigger it can get,” Riegg said. “I think we’re all really bullish on it, but we know that has an incredibly consistent audience for the last several decades. And so that’s really first and foremost where we’re starting at and then we’ll see where we go from there.”

I wonder how much of this is Netflix knowing this is disingenuous and not caring and TKO telling them everything is fine, trust them. If it is the latter, how is that going to look in a few weeks?

IIRC, at the time it was thought that GHB would provide athletes some benefits in regards to cutting weight/building muscle, though I believe that link has been pretty clearly disproven. I think it was one of the drugs that contributed to Rick Rude's death, as he was trying to get back in shape for an in-ring return at the time.

I read it like that too until it clicked: "oh she's talking about the money because that's all that matters" gently caress these sociopaths, please don't let this poo poo be swept under the rug again.

I hope every single abusive gently caress and the garbage people that knew/covered it up get exposed from this, put it all out in the open instead of just "secrets" that everyone knew.
