But what if she leaves and tries to profit off of her body of work by continuing to use that name?

I was someone that believed AEW would push WWE to try, boy was I wrong as hell. But also why the gently caress won’t they try? Like even if I had everything I ever wanted i’d still want to do poo poo and be creative, how do you just lose the will to create like that.

Every creative thing you do exists at the mercy of a brain-rotted old man who just wants the 80's back. After a certain point, you either quit trying or get a different job.

I'm sure most people know but it's pretty telling that if WCW hadn't been an actual threat to Vince's business the Attitude Era would have never happened. Vince would have been happy leaving money on the table to coast on his neon bullshit.

WWE held a talent show at the WWE Performance Center on Wednesday, June 23, just a couple of days before over a dozen people attending were released from the company.

In news that I'm absolutely sure everyone was expecting, we're told that NXT held a talent show for their roster at the WWE Performance Center on Wednesday afternoon. We've heard there was everything from singing to stand-up comedy, and that the show was mandatory to attend, but was a morale boost for some and it seemed to go over well. There were no official "winners" announced, besides the lucky audience, that is. Several of the people released actually performed at the talent show.

I'm sure this moral booster talent show will offset the moral devastator of a bunch of people getting the boot. I'm a genius.


But in all honesty I'm convinced the people who came up with and organized the talent show were not informed of any firings since it seems these days that the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing.

Lmao shades of how my current boss only brings in bagels (or even comes to visit our corner of of the office) when someone's getting fired that day.

I've worked lovely corporate jobs, I've performed on stage with rear end in a top hat directors and douchebag actors, WWE seems like the absolute worst blend of both.

Several years ago the morale at my job was in the toilet due to incompetence and firings and one of the ideas from the committee for helping morale was to create a "party planning committee" which they advertised you could join by pamphlets all over the goddamn building with a screenshot of the party planning committee from The Office.

My last boss kept trying to organize a Rock Band party at his house, in the Poconos, an hour away from our office and two+ hours away from where I live DURING A PANDEMIC as a morale booster when it was in the dumps. Myself and two other people accepted new positions within the company the next day and my morale is much better now :)

I've never understood the whole point of having the office "boost morale" pay your people well and give decent healthcare benes. Don't force this potluck poo poo on me, or whatever. I work here, my social life is kept separate for a reason.

My last boss decided that the way to boost morale was holding mandatory meetings outside of working hours that would involve a "state of the team" talk followed by a fun quiz that he would set up. The first one of these was the week where half the department was furloughed and the rest of us had to take mandatory temporary pay cuts while still working full time and he decided the best idea for a quiz would be to show pictures of all the places he'd either worked in or been on holiday to around the world over the years and ask us where that place was. The most amazing question however was him showing a picture of a table with a large amount of cash on it (dozens of stacks of it) and ask us why he had so much money on him when he went to one particular country.

I'm so much happier at my new place.
