Tyson spent years in prison for rape and it didn't stop them from booking him at Wrestlemania after he was released. Then putting him in the hall of fame. I don't think your past with women has much bearing on whether or not WWE will use you for publicity.

There was a very short period at the beginning of the account where WWE_Creative had some funny stuff - quite a bit of it was quoted probably in this thread or the last one. After a short while it really fell off and they just started tossing out anything they came up with and most of it was bad.

I was happy about The Stro following me until I followed him and he was preaching almost every day and tweeting bible verses.

Then I just felt like I was offending him every time I said something because well I tend to say offensive things on twitter. Sorry Stro our twitter bro friendship was not meant to be.

I'm 99% sure he was in the pre-show battle royal, which exists entirely so those guys can get a paycheck for the show. Its lovely if the show did the most money in Mania history and they got less than they have for past Manias, regardless of their status.

I will never understand how so many people in this forum are so quick to say that a wrestler hating their position should shut up, and just let WWE do whatever they want.

Speaking up the way he is never ends well so really there is no point. He should just ask for his release and go elsewhere because as long as a McMahon is in charge talent relations probably won't change. They don't give a gently caress what the midcard thinks.

I would also normally say that speaking up on twitter like an idiot will make future employers see you as less desirable as well but it's the wrestling business and the only other game in town is TNA - the company that employs Jeff Hardy among others so it doesn't really apply.

So the options are literally just shut up, or leave your main source of income? Better not upset the fine upstanding company that WWE is.

Jtg is out there hurting himself on a nightly basis, and is getting nothing to show for it. He should just be happy with that because WWE is a popular company?

I don't think you get it. What happens if he throws a fit? He gets future endeavored. WWE is a lovely company with lovely management who isn't going to buckle and overhaul the way they treat their talent because of some easily expendable midcarder that they never use.

It'd take someone on Cena's level speaking up to ever get anything even looked at for a change. The two options for JTG in WWE because of how the company works and who is in charge are literally shut up and keep collecting checks or ask for your release and go to TNA or break your back on the indies for even less pay until you give up. FCW is full of guys that would replace JTG without a complaint at any time they're called up.

That's what happens when the devil has a monopoly. If you think JTG flipping out on twitter with a bunch of midcarders is going to make WWE stop mistreating their talent behind the scenes you're the markiest mark of all. In a perfect world sure the #occupyWWE movement by a midcarder would get poo poo done but the wrestling business is run by the worst people.

I don't understand people writing off JTG as some jobber. He isn't a bad worker at all, and is only a jobber because WWE Creative "has nothing for him".

And when WWE is the only major game in town even when TNA does seem to be slowly picking up steam this is what makes him easily replaced. It has nothing to do with ability level.

I'm not arguing that it's bullshit and that they shouldn't be paid more. I'm just saying that he's stuck and flipping on twitter isn't going to help that given the current business situation.

Personally, "wrestler bitching" to me is Shane Douglas bitching about Ric Flair not pushing him or Kenny Dykstra bitching about John Cena loving his girlfriend. If the company you work for tells you that you're going to receive a bonus based on the success of a show and it's the most successful show in the history of the company yet you receive a small rear end cheque, is it really bitching? Was Jericho bitching when he complained how HHH got a bigger WMX-8 payoff than him? Were ECW wrestlers just bitching when Paul Heyman was bouncing their cheques?

Chris Jericho is Chris Jericho. A main eventer at that point with pull and legs to stand on in a dispute with a McMahon.

People complained about getting shafted by Paul Heyman and he laughed all the way to the bank as ECW burned and went out of business and there were probably still guys to this day who never saw that money. He was in charge and he wasn't going to change how he did business because he was the head honcho.

Anyway this is going to go around and around and my point isn't anything near the notion that these guys shouldn't get paid what they're worth so I'm moving on from it.
