It really was quite the scene. I also liked that they revealed Granny shows get way more viewers than regular B&V shows.

I don't know what it is but I've never listened to a full Granny segment. I just don't enjoy them.

When was the last time you listened to one? Granny got a better mic and it's much better.

He looked like a big angry Terry Gordy child.

This is a tremendous look that should be easy to sell in wrestling.

It was so wild because they invested so much in getting Homicide into the belt, then they dropped Morishima on us. ROH era Gabe delivered more than he struck out.

Just wait until the Tables are Legal Tribute Special if you celebrate the career of Shane Hagadorn as much as we do.

He spent most of the first 30 minutes of WOR laying out every reason the wrestlers need to unionize, while also saying after every section of it that they wont, but they should, but they wont.

The gist is that they make poo poo money compared to athletes in organizations making similar money to the WWE and that there is no longer any time constraints on it, they don't need to hold up a Wrestlemania or the like, tv every week is now a big enough show that the wrestlers have tons of leverage that they could use to get what they want.

Was the big money TV deal (that the wrestler's likely won't see) the impetus for it?

It was the impetus for him talking about it today but it sounded like he’s held the opinion for years and years

remusclaw
Dec 8, 2009

Yeah. That TV deal is what gives the workers so much leverage. TV becoming the source of WWE money means holding up tv is now enough to hurt WWE if demands are not met. Previously, as I alluded to before, it would have had to happen before a real big show in order for it be something WWE couldn't just ignore.

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
The gist of it was that before something like this big TV deal, the only time they could all realistically put their feet down and refuse to work and get a positive response was Wrestlemania, which is an extremely hard sell to any worker. Now you can strike any time of the year because every episode is worth a ridiculous amount of money
