Scalpers probably paid a cut to Ticketmaster who paid a cut to WWE, but it'll probably minimize your exposure to pay them.

If it's any consolation, WWE's sitting on a bubble increasingly isolated from the mainstream while Sinclair's actively cannibalizing local media all across the nation, so you could do worse in entertainment choices. And pretty much anyone with real estate money has contributed to republican politics. Don't sweat it

I was following the ticket prices for Brooklyn and it looks like I can get a decent deal. Here's the problem, as I see it: I don't want to give money to one of Trump's biggest donors. I don't have the network, I rarely watch the TV. I've gotten various reactions from friends after asking for some sort of moral guidance and it varied from "eh, it'll be ok" to "go but donate an equal amount to the ADL" to "that's a good point, boycott it". I know this is hardly the place for moral authority, but I'm seriously unsure as to whether or not I want to go this year.

buying the ticket in any way will wind up giving you mental stress over whether you've compromised your morals or not. you won't be able to fully enjoy the experience and you'll wrestle (lol) with feelings of regret and be unsure if you've done the right thing.

you don't follow the product anyway, so you won't be missing much. it's not like you're a devoted superfan.

i say don't go. still donate to the ADL though

if you want to go to the show enough that you are looking for ways to excuse it then you should stop acting like your morals are that high since it's actually a detriment to your life rather than something to be proud of. if you don't particularly care then just listen to the "good point, don't go" person. this is not an attack; i don't know you, and whatever the end-result you could be a great person. the greatest person on here.

Thanks for that. You helped me realize that I'd be agonizing all night if I decided to go but by not going I don't have that weight on my shoulders. Takeover Brooklyn was real fun the past two years but as someone, as Max Brooks put it, Jewish enough for Dachau, the right thing is to boycott.

So USAToday had an interview with Triple H and Asuka today.

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/08/asuka-wwe-nxt-championship-ember-moon

Most notable thing was that Asuka was apparently going to be called up much sooner (like the last batch of NXT callups, alongside Alexa, Nia, Carmella, etc.), but Triple H asked Vince to keep her down in NXT. His reasoning was that because without Asuka there as the "anchor", he feels the NXT Womens Division would have been doomed. Makes me wonder if they are actually going to call her up soon, since the division will probably become a bit more stable after the MYC is done.

Just go and enjoy wrestling, friend. Donate some money to charity if you want, go volunteer for a good cause, those are all good things that will have far more impact on the world than paying for tickets to what will probably be a really fun and enjoyable wrestling show.

Edit: Missed that you already decided not to go!

The first three were both of those things. Neville, the fourth, was under 30. I feel obliged to mention that this number is significantly under 9000.
