Is Asuka's YouTube owned by WWE, or are they rightfully scared of telling her to stop?

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I'm pretty sure she owns it herself, she streams under her old name and she made all the assets herself. She lost her IRL Facebook page for almost a year because someone reported her and WWE never lifted a finger to help validate her :v:

Williams getting around it by streaming as his Splatoon squidsona v-tuber is genius. I have no idea how Cole is doing it.

What are they going to do? He probably has an open contract for AEW that he uses as leverage.

Yeah, Triple H is absolutely not risking that so he just lets Cole stream.

AEW doesn't innately sign every single WWE castoff, but Vince sure thinks they can/will

Nah, I think that phase is done on both ends.

Britt is reportedly in TK's inner circle of buddies (called the white house, according to starks) though so you gotta feel Cole has a place waiting for him.

I'm going to be really, really sad when AEW doesn't reform the iiconics though :(

Yeah Cole is definitely someone who could waltz right into AEW so he could probably do pretty much anything he wants.

Alexander Wolfe said they're still giving fired talent the excuse that times are hard for them during the pandemic despite making more money than ever https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2021/05/alexander-wolfe-reveals-reason-wwe-gave-for-his-release/

quote:

The reason I was given was the pandemic time that savings are still necessary due to the global event restrictions,. Well, that’s better than no reason at all, but ultimately you know WWE makes so much money that no firing is really mandatory. But it is what it is. The machine continues to run, the parts are replaced. I see that’s the business. I am proud of what I have achieved. I know I could have achieved more, but in a league like WWE you don’t have everything in your own hands. You have to control what you can control, I don’t think I can blame myself in that regard.

...Strangely, it hit me less hard than I expected. I’m quite relaxed and happy, I don’t feel like pitying myself. First of all, I am generally a positive person. secondly, I can look back on six wonderful years at WWE with great and unique experiences. Thirdly, I have had a plan B for a long time, which I am now tackling, and I also have little time to complain about it, because I have to organize a big move within four weeks, move furniture, cancel subscriptions, all the bells and whistles. It continues and I am in good spirits that I can now apply everything I have learned in another place where it is just as valued, maybe even more.

We’ll see where it’s going, whether I can get a permanent contract elsewhere or whether I am orienting myself towards independent wrestling and pursuing other projects. The thing about the plan B is I always knew that the wrestling business is an illusionary bubble in which there is nowhere to be carefree. You have to build a professional and personal foundation in order to be able to take a different path in the event of losing your job. I have that. Incidentally, this also meant that I interacted well with colleagues; it was always important to me to behave correctly with the people I deal with. I did that and it contributes to the fact that I now get a lot of messages and inquiries.

They obviously had to pay all those zombies. The outside non-wrestlers are always far more important than the wrestlers.

Why would they make $1 million for that? Like it's a Netflix movie. Everybody has Netflix. If someone is watching WWE they either have Netflix or will never have Netflix. What a stupid investment.

I think it had a brief theatrical run as well as being on Netflix so that might be an effort to make back some of its budget.

An outside non-wrestler that gets stiffed onm a paycheck would complain. Loudly and publicly.

A WWE wrestler doesn't get paid, they call HHH to thank him personally for being able to help the corporation make bigger profits.

But do they assume that only they can see it or that only their friends can see it? In your example, it seems like your mom thinks it's the former. Which doesn't even make any sense.
