I was going to disagree with Jeremy Corbin being good then I realised I was thinking of James Corden, who is bad. I don't know who Jeremy Corbin is.

Anyway, Baron Corbin is good.

Tbh since it came out that Michael Piss Haze was telling the Hardy's to jump off ladders I could give a gently caress if Mick shot Vince in the face to get his money.

This is true , and props to Mick for knowing how you gotta deal with WWE to get what you want. Sure, he's a cheapass and has the money, but I don't see how he's in the wrong here

Wrestling itself is built around conning people out of their money, so why anybody is upset at rovert for calling Mick a pro wrestler is beyond me.

Rovert isn't really saying Mick is in the wrong. Like, Mick is absolutely conning/blackmailing the WWE by going public because he knows it will get the exact reaction he's getting from everyone here, but that doesn't necessarily make him a bad person for doing it.

He's still a stupid idiot for letting it get this far though.

The McMahon family that Mick described in his first and second book would have paid the 60 grand no questions asked and without wanting any credit. It seems that something has changed since then. Que sera sera

Vince hired Mick Foley, knowing full well what his physical condition was. Or if he didn't, that's still on him(blame it on JR or whatever, Vince was still signing off on it).
Vince then puts Mick Foley in a series of high impact matches, knowing full well that Mick's actions were going to have long term health effects.
Therefore, WWE has to pay for Mick's medical poo poo.

Isn't Vince usually pretty good about helping out people who used to wrestle for him? I remember hearing poo poo about Vince helping people out with their problems even if they didn't work for him at the time.

Vince has gone on record saying that the only reason he does it is for PR and that he feels no personal responsibility for the physical, mental or financial well-being of the people who made him his fortune.

Giving one time payments to out of work/out of industry wrestlers to undermine their potential standing in a class action lawsuit is a pretty good strategy.

He's also pretty John Galt about how the WWE is a solo effort and he's responsible for making people stars not he other way around.
