STAC Goat posted:I mean, he's basically saying Disney are the responsible parties so its not that terrible. Plus it kind of sideways implied that they have more influence than the POTUS. Do you have a professional job? Saying "I didn't want to do it, but my bosses forced me to do it" is hugely unprofessional, and would be looked down on. In a public statement saying that? People are fired for a lot less.

In a public statement saying that? People are fired for a lot less. Of course I have but my job wasn't really in any way a reasonable comparison to Dana White and UFC's relationship with Disney/ESPN so it would be very silly for me to apply the standards of whether I publicly contradicted and called out my employers and what would probably happen to me to this. I'm not defending White. He's an rear end in a top hat clearly trying to "blame" Disney for UFC events being cancelled. But if I'm Disney (who I also am not defending as they are a big evil corporation) I might be annoyed by White but besides the fact that I'm probably not gonna bounce on UFC over it its probably not the worst PR in the world to be "called out" on the right side of the argument.

Yeah they’re not gonna complain about a guy going “I was about to do something REALLY stupid but then Disney talked me down from doing it and just going on hiatus instead”.

He’ll get told not to do that again but that’ll be it considering what he did made them look better. It won’t go ignored though. Not with egos like that on Disney’s side. Dana is humble compared to those idiots.

We just dropped another Rudocast episode talking AEW, the TNT Title Tournament, and even dedicated a segment to the WrestleMania. We had to sadly retire the Such Good poo poo of the Week Award as the catchphrase is now on a Bad Three Letter Company T-shirt. Send us some matches to review! Smoking Crow already sent me a bunch. We'll start adding one or two to the regular show and maybe put a bunch together for a live stream. A live stream where I break out the last few tall boys of Strong Zero I have left from Japan... https://twitter.com/RudosPodcast/status/1248646292709888000 Pinche Rudo fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Apr 10, 2020 |

After listening to this, my take is that Vince strategically leaked the info of going live again, and wanted the conversation about being afraid of the contracts being restructured out there. Now, he's either off the hook (at least partially) for running live, because he's being forced to - or, the networks have to cut him some slack on the live elements of the deals. Kind of brilliant either way.

Or the networks don't give a poo poo either way because TV stations are barely getting any advertising money anyway right now.

He mentioned being immunocompromised and living like a mile from that nursing home that ended up being the canary in the pandemic coal mine and that he basically hasn’t left the house at all a couple of weeks ago

There's a nursing home just a few blocks away from my house that's basically become the epicenter of the region and the place where the most deaths have occurred in my town. It's eerie as hell and I don't even have any health issues I'm aware of. I don't blame Valley for being spooked by it all.

Dave has a mother in her 90s that he literally can't visit for fear it might kill her, as well as a son who I believe has crohns and thus is at a higher risk if he should get COVID-19 too. Learning that some piece of poo poo Governor has dictated that a loving wrestling company is considered essential is enough to drive anybody to despair by itself let alone without that context.

Mr. Carlisle posted:Why does he always defend the worst people People sure like to cherry pick what Dave says. He didn't defend Lawler at all. He, in fact, buried Jerry and insinuated that he shouldn't even be on live TV because he could say something like that but because it's WWE, Jerry, isn't going to get the backlash. His comment about being "from a different time" is that it's hard to adapt for older people and isn't a defence or an excuse but rather a statement of fact, and a reason why Jerry shouldn't be put in a situation where he could slip up in the heat of the moment and revert to his old habits.

I didn't listen to it so I'm not gonna speak to the broader question but I think "from a different time" as you describe it absolutely is an "excuse." There's plenty of old people who can in fact recognize that racist things are racist and change behaviors they had decades ago. Otherwise everyone over the age of 50 would be walking around calling people "colored". Lawler doesn't change because he doesn't want to, is incapable of, and he's protected by the environment he's in. And the most high profile wrestling journalist saying "he's from a different time and its hard to change but it won't matter because no one holds WWE accountable" is part of that.
