You know, after all of Joe's experiences with upstart promotions, I don't blame him for going back to the WWE.

Especially since he's probably looking to wind down his career.

I have a hard time believing TK couldn't match whatever they're paying Joe to be the loving NXT GM, so I assume this is just, for whatever reason, what Joe wants. I hope he's happy. :shrug:

I'm wondering if there's some exclusive negotiation period that's enforced in the contracts. Or if HHH just called and said we'll give you X/yr no bumps no bullshit and that was the first offer.

When you first sign with WWE they have you sit through a bunch of educational seminars and courses and one of them is Negotiation 101 where they just play the clip of Vince buying back Raw from Trump for more than he sold it for

Up until the past few months is was mainly just a talent hoard to try and keep competitors from
building their rosters. Now, it’s just empty content for a streamer with no real purpose for the company beyond being another thing in a checklist of offerings.

It’s not developmental, it’s not a third equal brand. It’s just content.

The faces he makes while posting are inexcusable! When he writes a post his face is like a troll double checking bones to see if there's any meat left! When I post I look like a peacock softly kissing a rose! Didn't his parents provide him with a posting mirror to practice forums faces growing up?

I had completely forgotten that Sonya and Mandy were in a stable with Paige because she got her stinger so soon after her re-debut

kinda seeing now how the cerebral assassin , the king of kings, the rear end kicker isn't very good at this whole corporate maneuverings game of thrones poo poo

rehiring Joe makes you look bad because you didn't have enough clout to stop him getting fired in the first place
makes the ppl who made the decision to fire him look bad because you're undermining them, which will definitely push HHH further down the totem pole
makes Joe look bad because he looks like a bum
