CVagts posted:This is a rhetorical question, but if the talent has to be the ones to pitch Vince ideas in order to get anywhere in WWE, why do they employ 8000 writers and agents? The writers are only there so Vince has someone to blame/fire if shareholders or the network ever attempt to hold him accountable for his absolute dogshit booking.

STAC Goat posted:I mean, that really is a further condemnation of WWE when you think about it. Requiring your talent to pay for, acquire, and finish their own outfits and then putting them on TV is not only garbage treatment of employees but also just completely amateur production. There's community theaters and high school drama departments that make more of an effort than that. That's the point. WWE is putting on the show. They put a bad, unfinished, cheap product on air. They've just been blaming the talent for their failings for so long at so many levels that it becomes accepted by everyone. Yeah they totally shouldn't have to, it almost makes me feel kinda bad when talent constantly change gear because I know they take the hit (and I think WWE has weaseled it that somehow they have the right to use those costumes for action figures and video games). rotinaj posted:the thing that never makes any sense to me about this, on the part of AEW or WWE, is that these resources are out there. There are cosplayers and cosplay clothing makers that could whip out a thousand times better of a mask toiling away on Etsy. There are people making fan remixes and fan tribute songs for WWE wrestlers that they could just hire to make themes for them. All it would take is for these big companies to reach out to this person and say "hey want a job", and yet, they bring out poo poo like this. The best costumers want to get paid, and WWE nakedly wants to spend no money and still pretend it's the premium pro wrestling.

Even if you didn't have a full team of tailors on staff at all times a professional production would at least have independent contractors they had a relationship with, especially one that is constantly debuting you new talents and looks. You may not need them every week but you'd be using them very consistently every month of so at least. The frequency of that might actually merit a full time staff, not one who travels with the show perhaps but one that has offices and studios where they can be reliably turned to when you need their work. But also, there are media productions who deal with seasonal schedules all the time. TV, theater, movies. They all have work that needs to be done in bursts or specific tasks but not 9-5 routine. And I bet most major billion dollar production companies keep some of them on staff because it pays off in the long room to maintain the quality of their products. WWE has spent a long time establishing that their cheapness and inattention to detail or quality control is "industry standard."

i am not responding to the goat but to the person who said gently caress you to me directly. everyone has different colorways for their basic attire, plus new ones on a regular basis, plus special gear for big events as well as additional entrance attire that is often matched to each different colorway when that applies. for 20+ people per brand if they even have brands still, and assuming the other 20+ people maybe only have one or two sets of gear for now. this isn't exclusive to wwe but yes if the company handled everything in terms of outfits they would need more than a handful of people doing it and without question more than the one that the public knows exists. that one person no doubt spends most of their time fixing stuff. wrestlers who have publicly thanked their personal contacts for ring attire in the past include ziggler and mysterio

Robert Stone tries to get in on the high fives and Franky's dog barks at him Zoey Stark's happy Io Shirai picked her as a tag partner tonight, Io says that doesn't mean she likes her LA Knight says Cameron Grimes is a moron for caring about an old man more than money or a title Johnny Gargano says NXT needs a new world champ, and the brand was never better than the two months it had him as one. Pete Dunne interrupts and says he's the one who deserves to be #1 contender, then snaps Austin Theory's fingers Grimes punches someone for calling Ted DiBiase old William Regal tells Cole Joe's allowed to defend himself. Gargano and Theory ask Regal to punish Dunne for what he did to Theory's fingers. Regal makes a tag match between them and Dunne and Oney Lorcan Io and Zoey defeat Aliyah and Jessi.

Isaiah "Swerve" Scott also calls out Ever-Rise for trying/failing to spray-paint their car while Top Dolla was in it earlier this morning Hit Row (Ashante "Thee" Adonis and Top Dolla) defeat Ever-Rise (Chase Parker and Matt Martel); Top Dolla pins Martel.

I like how nobody even bothered mentioning that 1) Kushida is the cruiserweight champ 2) He lost a non-title match clean 3) Was immediately made an afterthought in the post-match and then beat up by the debuting new stable But I hear Uncle Paul really likes him

I'm disappointed that the Diamond Mine debut was just Roderick beating up Kushida by himself, Tyler and Hideki just stood nearby - what a boring introduction.
