FlamingLiberal posted:Good lord Jack Welch was a piece of poo poo I know that folks on places like this site use "number go up" sarcastically a lot, but it's true; evidently a huge percentage of our supposed leaders and luminaries are myopic twits obsessed with improving some metric in the short term, even if doing so will wreck the same metric in the long run.

Anyone who is not a wrestling dork: strap the gently caress in and expect to hear about the following: Dry leaves rear end cream Steroids Concussions Hepatitus People pretending to be wild savages so they could get away with murder Bribery Sexual abuse of mostly teenagers, but underaged ones Terrible parenting Terrible politics The biggest victim complex I have ever heard of Clinical narcissism Terrible business sense And thats just the stuff off the top of my head

I really enjoyed Robert setting the American wrestling stage and explaining how there's a rich history of lovely promoters doing everything they can to promote their show, even (especially) at the expense of their performers. Also who tf knew Seanbaby had such impressive wrestling bona fides??

There's an episode of Dark Side of the Ring about the Von Erichs, if anyone wants to know more about them. I'm surprised they never really got into anything horrible Vince has done on that show.

Exactly, I will take issue with Roberts thing at the beginning of todays episode would love to see his source on wrestlers making 50k, full time wrestlers usually make way more then that. AEW full time on tv talent make around 6 figures and while they're independent contractors they for the most part allow the talent to work elsewhere if it wouldn't interfere with AEW shows. And like wrestling is still a lovely dirty business just not that lovely. LionYeti fucked around with this message at 15:51 on May 18, 2023 |

I was unsure if he was referring to wrestlers back in the day, wrestlers nowadays, indy wrestlers only… I could see making that back in the 70s, or making that if you arent in AEW or the WWE, or if you eliminate the main eventers from the list, but that number was roughly what i believe the female wrestlers were making in also-ran wrestling company TNA, notorious for poo poo pay

Both stories about Dr. Jerry Graham were incredible. edit: https://twitter.com/Ozzilla22/status/1659465345533628416 I can absolute believe that this (most likely) racist dude is capable of throwing Puerto Ricans like potatoes. Testekill fucked around with this message at 08:47 on May 19, 2023 |

I figured that'd be half an episode in and of itself I think some of that will be in the next episode because he didn't really talk about Hulk Hogan. Hogan is a big part of that since he ended up being the most notable guy he poached through the TV deals.
