A boombox is not a toy!

I worked with a guy who sparred with Brock and got his poo poo handed to him, said it was terrifying. I don't know anyone that has sparred with Tanahashi, so point goes to Brock.

This is one is one of the most insane things I've read in this thread. Yes, I'm sure Tony Khan who has a good relationship with most of if not all of the most well known wrestling journalists is going to try and buy possibly the least respected outlet of wrestling news on the internet.

Why would Tony need to buy RSN? He's already got Dave, Bix, and the Something Awful forums on his payroll.

Yeah gently caress those guys that wanted a steady paycheck (especially during a pandemic) from the biggest wrestling company in the world

How dare they turn their backs on the vaunted BritWres scene

They signed way before the pandemic and the pay sucked.

They got barely above minimum wage and helped kill the only possible chance for a thriving scene in the country.

They were earning dogshit money. Only a wee bit higher than minimum wage.

Google tells me NXT UK guys were earning 24k a year. A 37 hour week on minimum wage is 17k. That's a substantial amount more than minimum wage. These guys deserve a higher wage no doubt, but calling them out as sell outs for earning a living is idiotic. It's WWE people should be pissed off with.

Self-appointed gatekeeper of professional wrestling (offices: London, Tokyo) Will Ospreay isn't one to talk

And yes, the pay was insulting but a good chunk of that roster signed after the pandemic (and most of the damage had been done) and at least it was something rather than nothing

Jamie Hayter and Session Moth Martina didn't end up there, but they were talking about getting out of the business last year

This forum was singing a different tune about Ben Carter signing with NXTUK
