WWE has to be terrible to be good, when WWE is good it is terrible. Change my mind.

El Gallinero Gros posted:A lot of the on screen stuff isn't funny. I get no laughs from women, gay people and black people being humiliated because Vince's sense of humor is hosed. I've not listened yet but hopefully Vince essentially humiliating Chris Kanyon into suicide makes it. You are in the minority, maybe not on these forums but in terms of the public. A moonsault isn't exciting after the 500th time. Hako fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Dec 6, 2018 |

El Gallinero Gros posted:Their ratings are sinking, and the indies continue to do good business, so no, I'm not. Not only that, but a lot of the WWE fans who stick around are sticking around because of individuals they enjoy watching despite the bad storytelling, or because they don't want to seek out other wrestling and WWE is the most accessible still. Because the general population even knows the "indies" exist. You pure wraassstlin folk are a minority.

I get everyone wants to be on the right side of history, but guess what Wrestling is loving boring now and the ratings reflect that, you can have a moonsault royal rumble and its still not going to bring ratings.

Wazzu posted:....how would you feel if your employer forced you to literally kiss his asscheeks, in front of the world? Maybe we should ask the porn industry about kissing asses, or you know shows on HBO. These are carnies playing characters, let it go this isn't Nickelodeon.

Vince MechMahon posted:On the porn thing, ironically, performers actually have iron clad contracts in most cases as well, signed in advanced of any scene, and if any of those rules are broken during a scene, it's a huge legal issue for the producers. No one is showing up to set and being told "by the way, you're also kissing the directors rear end, and if you don't agree your career is hosed." Pretty sure if an employee said no boss sorry I'm not kissing your rear end, nothing would happen. But what you have is a bunch of week minded carny adults that can't think for themselves and will do whatever someone tells them to do for laughs. Maybe they should have become pornstars if they were so worried about it.

Benne posted:... yeah, I'm gonna be following the redtext advice here I'd like to know how I'm wrong. If your boss asked you to kiss his rear end would you? I'm guessing not. So why do we feel sorry for the carnies that say "yes boss I'll kiss your rear end"? They are working professionals just like yourself. Stop playing the victim card for them.

Benne posted:There's a long fruitful discussion to be had about the hosed-up power dynamics and toxic work environment that Vince McMahon has fostered over the decades, which eventually leads to situations like talent agreeing to and/or coerced into kissing his rear end on live television. But it's late and I'm tired so I'll just say you're a loving moron and move on with my life. hosed up power dynamics means nothing, they are working professionals and can easily have said no I'm not doing that.

ThePariah posted:*Looks at an opening post featuring dozens of awful ways that the WWE has treated its workers over the years, including racism, misogyny, exploiting death and negligently killing people* Looks at all the posters ignoring that there are laws that prohibit this type of behavior, so if anyone actually had an issue with it they could you know see a lawyer like every other working professional in the world.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Except that WWE was involved in a lawsuit arguing that very thing. Raven and a few other ex employees sued them over that status. And big loving surpise, WWE dragged it out as long as they could, which influenced the verdict since one of the plaintiffs died. So whats to stop other plaintiffs from coming forward, obviously they weren't bothered by it enough to come forward.

El Gallinero Gros posted:The fact that they lost isn't really the whole story. WWE only treats them like independent contractors when it suits them, when doing do inconveniences them, or costs them money, they become very stringent about their policies. Okay so its been argued against me many times the Indys are super popular so why don't they all go to the indys? We are babysitting grown adults who chose to kiss bosses asses on tv, they made a choice which they apparently didn't mind. Go be an accountant or something then if you don't like it? I don't see what all the fuss is about.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Because WWE freezes their contract and doesn't allow them to leave. They did this with both Daniel Bryan and Neville. So don't sign a contract you can't agree to? I just cant comprehend all this....are you guys trolling me? Gonzo McFee posted:"Why aren't there people getting into lengthy and costly legal battles with a billion dollar company that will drag the case out for as long as they can to the point where they bankrupt the person suing them." is a dumb loving question. There are thousands and thousands of examples of the wealthy using the legal process to gently caress over people even when they're clearly in the wrong. There is literally an industry of lawyers helping the rich to gently caress over the poor. Johnson and Johnson just had to admit that they put asbestos into baby powder but they plan to appeal any court decisions and have done for pay outs in the past because capitalism is loving evil. Oh god yes capitalisim is keeping wrestlemans down hahahah give me a loving break.

There's literally zero reason to engage with someone who is arguing in bad faith 100% of the time. It's the same in SAS. I'm being logical please present a debate to my argument.

Baron Corbin posted:last i checked, having sex involves two people. if those boys "didn't want" to have sex with that old man, then they would have refused. i recently found out that it's illegal to force someone to have sex with you against their will, so those boys would have declined and possibly reported it to the police if they felt uncomfortable. Yes because we are comparing adults to children here.

Seriously what is stopping the event going to do? Stopping out of some sign of "respect" to a dead person is a really silly thought. *Person dies **WWE comes out and announces the show will be stopped. *Everyone stands and slowly claps *Years later goons talk about how respectful it was for WWE to stop the show (lol) earning them goodwill on the something awful forums. give me a break.
