I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Mental health is important. Being mean to strangers/celebrities on the internet is bad. I hope Bray feels better, and learns to deal with strangers throwing poo poo he doesn't deserve at him over twitter etc.

But, for the people who want to hate Bray Wyatt.

Remember that in real life he is a full on Lizard Men/Hollow Earth/Chemtrails conspiracy theorist that is stiffing his ex wife on Alimony payments.

Which is worse than wearing a silly mask and wrestling under coloured lights.

"And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"
I feel bad for Bray as a performer.

He was seen as a total lost cause, he went off physically trained his rear end off and created a new compelling character that generated a ton of legit buzz then WWE killed two main eventers with one appalling match. I can imagine the frustration and concern about how many great character ideas does he have left to get squandered like this. He's probably keenly aware of his limitations as a worker and how that counts severely against him. Probably feels a bit trapped really, but needs to maintain a social media presence and finds the constant negative feedback grinding.

These takes suck. Have you never had a lovely job? There are always people there who get brainwashed and beaten down and think they can't leave, even though lord knows this isn't the only grocery store in the area.

Employers abuse people, and abused people don't feel like they can leave. You might think that makes them stupid, but it's hard-wired programming in humans capitalism has learned to weaponize.

Perhaps not, but the general manager of a grocery store can absolutely be a Vince McMahon, and that's the actual point being made here.

I have sympathy for performers in terms of their working conditions, travel costs and all that jazz but not so much when it comes to participating in bad creative and then moaning about criticism.

And yeah earning main event level money gives you a level of financial security that a minimum wage grocery bagger doesn’t have.

nobody grew up watching mike h. from the piggly wiggly bag groceries and wishing they could be like him one day, though.

it's definitely not a perfect metaphor, but having a little empathy for people who are probably trying to live their dreams, and are even more likely dealing with the reality that those dreams are souring before their eyes seems fair. lovely employers have all kinds of ways to keep employees on the hook.

Performers being underpaid by several millions of dollars are still victims, even if they're millionaires. Actors on in SAG are paid SO much more.

They're not management.

Never side with management.

Isn't it an 'all-or-nothing' situation when it comes to unionizing? Like, don't you have to have a certain majority on board before you can start a union?

you need 50% of the relevant group of employees to sign guild cards. or you can trigger a vote with cards from 30%, and then a simple majority in the vote.

The annoying thing about Charlotte is she's one of those people that takes every criticism as an attack, and she'll never take any of it to heart. Which hey fine she doesn't need to. Her attitude and the WWE are a great match and she'll continue to have a Hall of Fame kind of career in their bubble.

Been fair to him, a Judge made the insane ruling that the spousal and child support payment should be $14,735/month. Do we know how that saga resolved? Not sure there was an update in the last 2 years.
