Amell posted:

“I support my union, I do, and I stand with them, but I do not support striking, I don’t,” he said during an appearance at Galaxycon in Raleigh, NC. “I think it is a reductive negotiating tactic, and I find the entire thing incredibly frustrating. And I think the thinking as it pertains to shows like the show that I’m on [Heels], that premiered last night, I think it’s myopic.”

Some people have pointedly remarked this is just damage control for the whole 'the hierarchy in the DC Universe is about to change' and indeed it did because Black Adam flopped and James Gunn took over and that this is damage control but... who cares? It's a good thing. And if it inspires more of the super rich actors to donate just so they're not shown up, a better thing.

"No, you see, this strike is bad because it affects MY show."

Like striking is the single most effective tactic labour has against management but go off Green Arrow.

edit: Alternatively: Amell is just following in his good pal Cody "unions are good for actors, but not wrestlers" Rhodes' footsteps.

I think it's more damage control for the news that he's getting paid $50 million for Amazon Studios' next anonymous action spectacle (Which was initially reported a good while back, but it started making headlines again a few weeks back around the start of the strike.)

Okay but so what if he's going to get paid 50 million.
He's not breaking the strike or anything.

If they can afford to pay him 50 million they can probably afford to pay everyone else a little more too, maybe, I’m not an accountant nor an economist though

The donation was also specifically to the strike relief fund. Even if it's damage control it's damage control by giving material support to the other workers in his union so who cares. SAG-AFTRA is just some actors union, they don't have revolutionary politics or need to.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The match should not be falls count anywhere. There should be one station where they can win and the rest of the time they have to follow all train rules.

Should definitely have the rule from the train battle royale, where if they're still on the platform when the train leaves they're eliminated

Total fuckin' silence.
If this is a recurring thing, do the heels ever take out a phone and start talking loudly on it as they fight through the train? That would be mega heat in Japan.

Edit: a foreign heel (who probably did a promo in fluent Japanese last week) doesn't pay for their ticket, and when their opponent calls them out in it, they shrug and say "Sorry mate, I don't speak Japanese ¯\_(ツ)_/¯". That would put them on the level of Bossman driving off with Big Show's dead dad in the casket.

BEWARE, PHEROMONES BULLSHIT LURKS IN THESE VIDEOS

Found a great quote from the DDT WordPress:


quote:

Suzuki has already worked out how more dangerous he is fighting inside a moving bullet train. If the bullet train moves at 285km and he throws a punch at 115km then that means he will hit Takagi at a speed of 400km!
