During the NXT Takeover I asked if Samoa Joe had suddenly gotten demoted because he was doing a backstage interview and I guess I was more right than I realized

BaronVanAwesome posted:Yeah I don't get them just straight up saying "this is for budget cuts" when they're...doing well financially? They're a public company with shareholders. If they're not actively trying to improve profit, even if they're already wildly profitable, they're not upholding their oath to shareholders. Even if you were profiting $10M on a cost of $50, you are obligated to try to get to $49. hosed up and true.

We must go full circle and have the Phone Call Comic with Samoa Joe asking I dunno...Cesaro? if he's still in the WWE and then laughing.

One of the most unfortunate parts of WWE mass releases is the stream of "I'm so thankful for my time at WWE they made my dreams come true - now on to the next adventure!" social media posts Like I absolutely get not burning bridges on your way out, that makes sense - but bootlicking an awful company one more time after they just fired you during record profits.. have some self respect lol

It's full of bitter, spiteful people in management who will make you miserable just for getting over the wrong way.

Thinking about it more, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to fire Billie and when she found out, Peyton asked to leave too. Not necessarily out of a "IF SHE GOES I GO" thing, but because she knows them tag-teaming is money (and fun!) while WWE has no idea how to use her as a singles star. That would be so backwards because they're barely using Peyton and Billie has been all over the place, but I bet Peyton has The Look for Laurinaitis and Billie doesn't.

I still think it’s remarkable that WWE contracts are structured in a way where only WWE can opt to end them early.

The IIconics winning the tag belts at WM 2019 was one of the last genuinely feel-good moments in WWE, along with Kofi winning the title. I would include Becky winning, but the ending was botched and by the time she won, the only thing I felt was relief that WrestleMania was over.

sportsgenius86 posted:WWE sucks but this isn’t really exclusive to them. Or even sports really. No, I know it’s not uncommon, but also I don’t think it’s truly analogous to sports since you know there are leagues that govern player transactions between teams and bargaining units helping to establish the baseline rules for those contracts. If anything, I’d expect WWE contracts to be more closely aligned to acting contracts.

Sort of, I mean a CEO can justify current expenses as being necessary for longer term profits if the shareholders can be persuaded. Netflix has a lot of debts because it rolls over profits into production because it needs to in order to retain subscribers/drive new ones, I don't think Uber is profitable yet, etc. The "Harvard school" approach- that you are obligated to your shareholders and only your shareholders- is not necessarily mandatory but it is the way most businesses work today.

Sam Roberts being a name to connect from my youth giving a poo poo about shock jocks in an unironic way to my adulthood giving a poo poo about pro wrestling in an unironic way is one of the weirdest loving through-lines from my perspective.

It’s another to pay someone to sit in catering so the other company can’t have them. That doesn’t grow their profits in any notable way because all of the profits are B2B now. Anyway... it makes me wonder when they’ll pull the plug on the Performance Center when they realize it’s technically not profitable. The PC is just churning out people that sit in catering for 7 years before they are fired. When is the last time they had a completely home grown talent to justify the cost of that monstrosity? Strowman?
