Haha, I remember him pulling the same poo poo last year when he thought Biden would make him Labor Secretary. He spent the entire campaign for mayor here in NYC saying the dumbest loving thing possible at every opportunity.

I, too, called the Department of Labor and complained about WWE to an underpaid Fed who definitely cares about what I have to say.

I'll believe that the US government will side with labor over capital when I see it, and if it by some miracle actually happens I highly doubt that some nobody like Yang is the guy who will bring that about.

At this point if you go into WWE not knowing that your contract is basically illegal, that’s on you.

"It was an average day for the Yang campaign. Andrew's statements were more outlandish than the ones he made yesterday, but on the positive side they were less outlandish than the ones he would make tomorrow."

the meeting where he agreed to drop out and endorse Biden must have been some of the dumbest negotiating in history so he'll fit right in with WWE guys

Are all wrestlers considered independent contractors or just WWE? What do AEW consider its wrestlers? Or ROH or Impact or NWA? Honest question

Honest question All are "independent contractors", I think the difference is only WWE puts insane restrictions on them. Like people in those other promotions can take bookings elsewhere, or have other means of income.

Got you so they actually treat them as independent contractors as opposed to employees which WWE does without actually giving them the benefits of being an employee

WWE treats their independent contractors like they’re employees without giving the same rights and benefits of an actual employee. This is super illegal, but nobody cares about wrestling so nothing gets done. This is also why WWE got away with having a monopoly for decades.

Chris James 2 posted:The Dems won’t even side with labor on the higher minimum wage they openly campaigned for before winning everything It's the exact same as WWE booking. They keep insisting we get interested on these loser babyfaces, that this storyline where they keep getting their asses beat will lead somewhere. Then it's finally time to put the belt on 'em and they just keep jobbing and forgetting all the storylines they were building up with their promos. And don't get me started on "babyfaces"/dems never working together while the heels always show genuine teamwork and friendship.

Just want to say that money in the bank is a poo poo gimmick that makes new champs feel diminished because it leads to unfair victories that don’t make sense for faces. Don’t feel like new champs via mitb hang out in the main event scene once they lose it later.

Don’t feel like new champs via mitb hang out in the main event scene once they lose it later. I think it's a good gimmick, but it shouldn't be every year and it only works if the titles mean something. Some popular rando from the midcard can just pop out one weekend and challenge the champ the following week. But again, titles mean to be protected and defended rarely for something like that to work.

I think there was still a lingering public perspective that the Civil War was just a goshdarn gentlemen's disagreement over state's rights, which is what that flag represented and not slavery. Also it's the WWE.

https://twitter.com/wrestlinginc/status/1438498793641578505?s=21 Every single part of this guy’s moves, music, gear and overall presentation is based on him being a Steiner and they pull this. It’d be like if Charlotte couldn’t use the Flair name despite literally every aspect of her character being a reference to Ric.

Man I will say what I kinda miss a lot as far as WWE adjacent programming is when Sheamus was on the mend and he would just pall around with different wrestlers and they would explain their routines going from something fairly vanilla like Carmella's workout, to some CrossFit stuff with Cesaro, Becky and Seth, to just that insane two part Cena work out (first part just cardio warm up and stretching, and THEN the actual workout, to Samoa Joe's really weird medieval bowling pin workout strategy.

Dacap posted:https://twitter.com/wrestlinginc/status/1438498793641578505?s=21 There is no logical rationale to do this, but the only reason I can think of that they would give is "we don't like Scott Steiner and don't want the Steiners to be mentioned at all." But that doesn't explain why you basically make him a Steiner without the name; that just invokes it even more.

And NXT's secondary demographic of 40-year-old chuds have fond memories of the Big Poppa Pump run? So strange.

As someone else said earlier, it’s because they want to own him. Steiners were bigger outside WWE.
