Taya probably got signed because she was willing to take a pay cut to wrestle in WWE.

I think it was $1m a year at the very minimum. All WWE talents should probably be paid at least twice as much, if not triple, more, more. They should also get a reasonable allowance on things like travel and such. Imagine thinking a main event talent making a mere $1M was over paying.

clearly if they were worth getting paid serious money they'd be employees and not independent contractors

There’s no such thing as “overpaid” when you negotiate a contract, it’s not like they didn’t see the number right there on paper

professional wrestling almost never cuts away from impacts, so when it does, it looks incredibly incredibly fake. find another way to do that spot, either use a table or edit in a brief landing or something. dont throw a guy off screen and then focus on the thrower for 15 seconds.

Given that we have seen Alexa Bliss do that weird thing with her elbow where it looks like she has broken/dislocated it, (I remember it being a storyline where she would do it to herself and get her opponent disqualified). Has she done that as "spooky Alexa"? Coz I reckon it looks creepy and gross. Which would surely be an addittion to the creepy gross woman-child character.

Wait, why would dislocating someone's elbow be a disqualification? If that happens it's on you because you didn't tap? loving hell, why am I trying to act like there's any sense or logic to this company?

I don’t remember it being cause for DQ, more like a trick to bamboozle the ref and opponent. Could be wrong too

They hired Taya Valkyrie (I'm not calling her Franky Monet, gently caress that) but put her on NXT and are making her go through the Performance Center despite her being one of the most veteran women they have. That absolutely seems like loving with her to me lol.

I feel like that'd be more like something they'd have Joe or whomever the new GM is announce. It doesn't really fit with the "Regal has lost control" storyline they seem to be pushing.

Dacap posted:Vince hates couples because they’re a kind of union Exactly what I was thinking. Vince and by extension WWE management thinks people who are friends are idiots and tries to help its employees understand this by keeping them as separate as possible. I'm reminded of WWF in the 90s and 00s and how there were so many talking heads about how competitive the backstage area was and if you messed up someone would swoop in to take it from you. Compare this mentality to AEW where people constantly talk about how it feels like a family and all the interviews where people talk about (with surprise in many ex wwe wrestlers case) how everyone is trying to get everyone else over.

Seems weird to fire Joe just to rehire him into NXT but maybe it’s a contract/revenue/financials thing

The US TV rights deal for the NHL that’s ending this season is worth about 300 million, the NHL league minimum salary is $700k. No WWE wrestlers are overpaid.

DarkstarIV posted:They are dating supposedly, and he made tweets going after a fan for saying his pecs are bigger than hers which...is lovely. Guy made a bad tweet and deleted it afterwards but Braun wasn't having any of it apparently. CHUDs finding each other and dating, it's like poetry it rhymes. If true, good for Joe I think?? He's got insane charisma, and was being wasted on the announce team once his personality was diminished. But then again, gently caress WWE I'd rather see Joe go to NJPW or AEW and be the mega star he should have been in WWE. Jiro fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Jun 14, 2021 |

Joe is 42 now and his body has taken decades of abuse. I'm not he could reach mega star levels at this point but who knows. He knows his body and how much it take better than any of us and if he's going back to NXT for what is (initially) a non-wrestling role, then I think that says a lot about where he is physically at this point.

Just a fatal five way between Joe, Tanahasi, Okada, Naito, and Ibushi. Is that too much to ask?

If WWE is seriously firing people just to rehire them for NXT, then congrats to them for finding a new, shittier way to handle contract negotiations. Can't wait for the photo of HHH shaking hands with Joe!
