Have you guys never worked at an absolute poo poo hole of a job where over half the people there keep a positive outlook and keep licking boots? Now imagine these co-workers have been dreaming of working at this place since they were children.

Yeah no doubt. There’s all kinds of studies out there that all say different numbers. Most recent I read was 3 out of 4 people hate their job but don’t leave it.

I get it. Just sucks to see it from entertainers, athletes, people who show their whole lives to you like here.

I wonder how difficult it is to try to get out of WWE when your spouse works for them as well, though I suppose it's different for Sasha since her husband is a gear maker. Would he be under contract?

In a way you have to feel for Ricochet. Even with all the boot licking he’ll only ever amount to being Hunter’s 2nd favourite son.

I always got a kick out of this story

Harlan Ellison posted:

At the top of my voice I suggested, "Hey, listen, what a kick! Why don't we do a porn Disney flick?"

Everyone smiled. "It'll be terrific," I said. Loudly. "I mean, everyone knows, for instance, that Tinker Bell does it . . . what they don't know is how she Does It." They all looked at me expectantly. "She flies up the head of the penis and flaps her wings like crazy," I said, proud as hell of myself at this bit of fantasy.

.........

The meal came. Everyone addressed their plates like inmates of the Gulag Archipelago. When lunch was over, everyone vanished very quickly. I was confused, but felt good. What a nice little shtick I'd invented. Wished they'd joined in. Oh well.

Went back to my office. Noticed first that my name had been whited-out in the parking slot. Upstairs, the secretary and her paperback were gone. On my desk: twelve sharpened #2 Dixon Ticonderoga pencils and a pink slip.

I had been fired after working for the Disney empire for a total of four hours, including lunch.

The lessons here cannot be avoided.

Big business is humorless.

And . . .

At Disney, nobody fucks with The Mouse.

Does this mean anything? Could ACH somehow have quietly been let go? Doubt it, but curious.

Most likely he has accepted help for the issues he has been dealing with separate from the shirt controversy.

What the Observer wrote on Thursday:

quote:

Hardie had disappeared from WWE in late September. He was on what has been labeled medical leave for something that was not an injury.

One person with knowledge of what happened noted that Paul Levesque made the creative decision to go all the way with Jordan Myles, putting him over in the Breakout tournament which had the finals taped on 8/10 for television. This led to a match with NXT champion Adam Cole, taped on 8/15, where the booking concept was for him to come close in a championship match. His last match was 9/21, and he has not been at the Performance Center since his leave.

The nature of his leave is confidential and because of that, WWE can’t comment on that aspect of the situation.

I feel like one of those issues he might be dealing with is "everyone was really happy to listen to his frustrations about racism when he was giving them excuses to not like people they already didn't like, but as soon as he criticized someone slightly popular he was suddenly declared crazy and delusional."

Eeeeeeeeeeeh, they are both awful but at least Cornette was once involved in some good stuff. Smoky Mountain was fun. He was a good manager & promo back in the day. He's a bigot and he's outrageously out of touch and desperate for attention but then all that also applies to Russo but without the years of decent wrestling. Instead with him you get a couple of years of WWE that people remember with the warm blur of nostalgia but is actually pretty bad and often unwatchable.

Cornette is embarrassed by current wrestling, Russo is embarrassed by wrestling fullstop & did as much as he could to take wrestling out of wrestling programming, so being a wrestling fan who fawns over Russo is just tragic.

But in conclusion, I'd be much happier if both of them would just shut the gently caress up and vanish into obscurity never to be heard from again.
