On top of everything else I don't understand what this person thinks they're saying? Why wouldn't Tony Khan be the authoritative source about what Tony Khan wants to do with Tony Khan's company?

Could he have been talking about his second ECW run? He was there under WWE contract on WWE's dime, not ECW's.
I found a reference to it here

https://blogofdoom.com/index.php/2015/04/23/rf-video-shoot-interview-with-al-snow/

quote:

Cornette came out and told Snow they wanted him to put Brakkus over. Cornette went back to the staff and said Snow refused, the first time they have done so as Bruce Prichard said they wanted to fire him as Cornette said he wants to quit then Jerry Brisco suggested they withdraw his pay but was reminded he was not being paid anything as Snow said the company was pissed as they could not punish him and the first time he said no to something they wanted to let him go.

Filmed in April of 1998, scanning the article, I can't see anything to explain why he wasn't getting paid.

Edit: https://thesmartmarks.com/artman/publish/article_291.shtml
This more complete summary explains that Heyman was paying him at the time. So that resolves that.

Wait.

Paul was using guys under WWF contract and WAS paying them? How? Why? Was Snow still on a contract without a downside/minimum guarantee?

quote:

After that, he was sent to ECW as a talent exchange now that Paul E. and Vince had a working relationship. A part of that agreement stated that Al wasn’t supposed to be jobbed out at house shows or on TV with the WWF, as he was Paul’s employee now. This agreement was respected until the One Night Only PPV in the UK, where Al was flown in as a jobber for Tiger Ali Singh

He said this was the night after the Tiger Ali Singh match in England (20th September 1997) and this is his only WWF match on cagematch since August 1997 where he's in ECW for almost a year. It says he's then 'stuck in the UK because of flights and they want him to job to Brakkus' (not sure what other UK TV tapings they did in 1997), which just seems like WWF pulled him over for a job and then messed him around to get some more jobs out of him.

In the interview he also says he hasn't had an offer from WWF and isn't sure if he wants to return, but then there's a comment:

quote:

How long is he under WWF contract? It runs out in the next few months, but ECW is technically his employer as they pay him.
So the status is very strange.

The cultists have now convinced themselves that Jon Moxley won't be appearing at the Royal Rumble, but Dean Ambrose will. Because... they didn't censor his name from a promo anymore?

Jon Moxley should show up as Jon Moxley in WWE just to break their brains. Then he can go back to AEW as Dean Ambrose. Call him Death Rider too just for extra confusion.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
These pea brains think Dean Ambrose will be at the rumble but I, a genius, knows that Cody will make an appearance with the full song and dance entrance and then eliminate himself immediately Macho Man style.

E: I know Cody being a free agent will break some people completely, I hope it'll at least be funny.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
love to carefully craft the verbiage in my defense of WWE to never acknowledge that the critique people who I will never directly quote or address have is that WWE is doing business "with" the KSA, not "in" the KSA

also a fan of the "america is bad too" deflection. there is somebody from saudi arabia in that thread talking about "what america is doing in the middle east" like wait til you hear what saudi arabia is doing in the middle east with the help of america! WWE runs US military propaganda shows, too, and they deserve but will never get the same level of criticism.

sure, the saudi royal family are directly responsible for a lot of deaths and WWE is doing propaganda for them, but who are you to deprive saudi children of some of the worst wrestling anyone's ever seen? that makes you just as bad, if not worse than they are. Do Better.
