He lost a loser leaves WXW match and then cut a promo where he basically implied WXW had been told by WWE to stop using him because of poo poo like his union organising and apparently it won't make it to the on demand video of the show

From what i've seen implied is that WWE basically told WXW (since they're now affiliated) to stop booking him because of him being so pro-unionization, but don't have any sort of proof of that, obviously.

Considering the company's relationship with WWE, and considering that numerous other companies that have relationships with WWE are also places Starr can no longer work in, it's unlikely this is a coincidence, and his promo postmatch (that is never getting uploaded to the VOD release of the show, as wXw already confirmed), hinted as much Basically he's been very critical pretty openly obviously of WWE's business practices in every way, he's pro-union, etc. That hasn't gone unnoticed, and the more places WWE swallows up, the more places he'll be blackballed from

I thought it was pretty cool of wXw. Anyone trying to get some malicious angle out of it is being worked.

until Starr's union gets enough clout, expect this to happen quite a bit. I'd be surprised if the IWTV affiliates haven't at least looked at the union benefits.

Super No Vacancy posted:starr's promo was live crowd only and won't be on the video so ymmv Also they had cut another promo from him in New York because he criticized WWE. It's not really "malicious" to think it's lovely that wXw has chosen a garbage relationship with WWE over a dude that's been a regular for five years, especially after losing so many of their top talents. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think WWE has actually bought wXw. And either way, it's some gross capitulation for a company that "lends" talent only to pull them at the last minute. (And don't get me started on them giving a WWE contracted wrestler a title belt by making the title match a three way right before the bell for no reason....)

wXw's been ROH level for years. Their top guys all had better matches more noteworthy matches in other companies. I remember when they were part of FloSlam and their poo poo was all boring sports entertainment angles.

if you're in the mood for contrasting indie approaches between national tv companies the 'we went to AEW' episode of the AIW podcast is worth a listen

On the most recent Limitless show, Kris Statlander specifically said that the reason she signed with AEW rather than WWE was because AEW were fine with her still doing indie shows for as long as she wanted.

The Collective is saying the show will go on regardless of the Wrestlemania situation. I do wonder how many people are coming in just for the indy shows compared to those that go to Mania and it's event. I would imagine there's some crossover but like all things WWE, not that much (with the exception of maybe NXT). https://twitter.com/collective2020/status/1237786710806757378

I'm gonna hold off on buying the package a little longer. It's cool for The Collective to say they're going to put the shows on anyway, but if something happens and Tampa shuts down all shows/gatherings/events that week I don't want to have to deal with whatever getting a refund from FITE entails.

If they didn't give a full refund at least you would have 130 bucks in credits for maybe a years worth of GCW shows. Kind of a push.

Speaking of death, https://www.fite.tv/watch/gcw-the-wrld-on-gcw/2p6g2/ Temporary GDT for anyone else who's ordered it although I completely question why the gently caress they'd keep running shows, these people are unionized or have full-time jobs and pretty much have to. I'll buy this show for the next 5 people to quote me, just pay it forward if you can e: Actually I have no idea how to gift it to someone else without logging in with their details, so the next 5 posters who quote me can have $10 donated to the charity of their choice and also this dumb gently caress on the mic doesn't deserve anyone's money.
