I think Road Dogg/TNA own that one from the Voodoo Kin Mafia days. Maybe Billy Gunn could get access.

Alexa and like most people said, Braun, are probably the best examples of completely homegrown talent they have.

It's kind of funny that Drew is the sole example of both worlds, where he came up through WWE's system AND got famous elsewhere until WWE wanted to push him on NXT.

I'm sure there was a story about a guy (Canyon Cemen?) being on a Europe tour and seeing Drew Galloway wrestling, asking why a guy this obviously talented wasn't working for them, and being informed that they had him, they put him into a comedy gimmick and then they fired him.

Just to clarify, Daniel Wheeler and David Harwood have filed for trademarks for #FTR, Fear the Revolt, No Flips Just Fists, Say Yeah, Top Guys, Shatter Machine, and (weirdly enough) #FTRKO.

WWE filed a trademark for No Flips Just Fists six days after these guys did, (February 18 vs. February 24, 2020).

That looks like the only trademark opposition/battle WWE is engaged in, FTR seems pretty free and clear unless like a teleconferencing or biotech company wants to oppose it.

I would love to know what Lana/Rusev were thinking when Lana signed a new 5 year deal while Rusev wanted out. Was the idea that Lana would be making the WWE money, and Rusev could just do whatever he wanted?

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Rusev would have had a base salary that was also much bigger than Lana's, even when he was basically just sitting in catering every night*, and if they had any sense, they'd have a pretty decent nest-egg to live off of, supplemented by Lana's salary.


*Not a criticism of Lana at all, but more a comment based on the systematic undervaluing of women on the roster. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out Becky Lynch gets paid less than, say, Angelo Dawkins.

Rumour has it that Becky is on a fairly substantial contract now, someone probably figured paying the woman in your main event of Wrestlemania 250k was a bit dodgy with competition in town with a real lack of a well known female main eventer to legitimise the division.

If only the stupid, senile shitfuck figures out that systematically underpaying women is a lovely look in general.

It's probably why they only seem to be able to only perpetually push one or two at a time, because if they were over, they'd be getting paid more right? gently caress the WWE and gently caress the McMahons.

She's a really good get for Impact and can also do intergender stuff, which seems to be here to stay in that company.

The problem is that Impact now has an insane amount of talent for the amount of tv they have. Honestly what they need to do is ditch every single male on that roster and become a 100% women's promotion.
