I just watched the Flair episode of the WWE Treasures show and holy cow WWE is evil...

Little Natch: I am so proud of this robe! I am going to be buried in it.
WWE: Yeah, about that... we want you to give it to us.

The whole show is so fuckin scummy. A corporation basically going around to superfans and retired legends and being like "Yeah this is priceless history to you but we'll give you like 500 bucks for it." Like could they not just do a show highlighting the history of said items without having to turn it into Wrestling Pawn Stars?

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.
They also act as if Ric Flair has only ever had one robe in his entire career, why would they specifically need the one Lil Naitch had other than to be spiteful?

There also must be, like, warehouses full of poo poo they kept, from costumes to props and whatnot. You cannot tell me that everything that ever showed up on TV was taken home by the wrestlers or thrown in the garbage.

So yeah, this is absolutely a show about ripping people off and showcasing their nostalgia while exploiting their needs.

I think the worst part is how they ripoff generous people like Little Natch or the Detroit collector, but then pony up when people put up resistance. Come on man... you are a billion dollar company. Don't treat your best fans like that.

not to ruin the illusion of a reality tv show, let alone a wwe one, but the "lost" items were never actually lost and they reached out to super fans and collectors to act like they had it. I believe they reached out to Johnblud from New Legacy Inc to act like he had something in his possession

I suppose that's better because then they're not actually haggling with people like they're down to their last ten bucks at a garage sale, but at that point why not just make it a show about exploring the warehouse like they used to do on YouTube? The Archivist or whatever? Just keep the same concept without the bullshit buying/selling stuff.

If they absolutely have to keep doing fiend magic then mind controlled wrestler servants isn't really a terrible idea. Being Bray's puppets is like a less good version of that I guess.

I just get this impression that almost everyone Triple H tried to build is going to be gone this time next year and the WWE will rely on stars that can make money outside of wrestling via reality shows or people Vince is randomly enamored with.
