Well that and if most people had to name four Miramax films in the last ten years off the top of their heads they'd have to be wildly lucky to go 4/4. People watch WWE, no one says they watch Miramax movies because Miramax doesn't put the brand before all else.

What I'm saying is Vince's transgressions should tank WWE while I think a lot of people would have trouble naming the studio Weinstein worked for. In fact I'm just going off that one posters word that he was even affiliated with Miramax.

some folk in a discord i'm at watching the rumble, whatever i don't care for them that much, but it made me find out that the Universal fourway match was in the middle of the show. Like it was directly followed by the US title match. Does HHH not know how to book a card?

Miramax was named for Weinstein's parents

E: also I'm pretty sure that the Miramax logo was displayed quite prominently on the films they released, so :lol: at them not putting their brand "before all else". This is a Hollywood movie studio we're talking about, they absolutely want their brand front and center

So they can have a participation trophy for the people that can't beat Roman, which is literally everybody ever.

Yeah roman was RAW and Smackdown champ for a while so they introduced a third World Title to "unify" them which Roman won and then just started wearing all three belts. So they introduced a fourth. There are four world titles and one man has 3 of them

The actual funny part is the Weinsteins haven’t been associated with Miramax for twenty years, they left over disagreements with Disney not wanting to distribute Fahrenheit 9/11. They literally named their follow-up company The Weinstein Company, and Harvey’s crimes destroyed that company entirely, as one might expect for a production company with a rapist’s surname emblazoned on it.

Miramax eventually got sold off to a venture capital firm by Disney (well before the crimes were made public; they were pivoting to the Iger plan of strengthening the core branding, abandoning prestige cinema, and eventually just buying their way to blockbuster success with teen boys), and is now owned by Paramount and just put out The Holdovers and #1 movie in the country at least during this past week, The Beekeeper. It as a company is so decoupled from its founders that I think people would be surprised if you told them “oh it was co-founded by the serial rapist film producer”.

Wouldn’t shock me if that’s why Vince was in such a hurry to sell when he reassumed control of the company, all of this would have probably burned WWE to the ground had he not managed to slide it into a larger conglomerate before poo poo truly hit the fan.

Most people who have seen a Miramax film doesn't know that, I certainly didn't, and I've seen plenty.

E: like if you told me Avatar was a Miramax film I'd believe you because that's just not something most people pay attention to, even though it's at the beginning of all their movies.
