the Dijak thing was a completely unforced error. When your head of developing talent has a fetish for white nationalist adjacent imagery its pretty easy to let almost verbatim white nationalist rhetoric slip through. Which is a shame because Dijak's always come off as a real thoughtful fellow.

Kofi getting squashed for Brock is kinda eh. That's a thing that WWE does. They discard people who aren't "main event level" with a fierceness.

I only saw a video clip of the Hell In The Cell thing and its more just WWE doing doing WWE things. They don't care if you're one of the few people that still exchange cash for PPVs, its just another show to them.

gently caress Coery Graves. Mauro's kind of an obnoxious twerp tho.

I went with Dijak.

Lars did that poo poo to himself. WWE stealing money from him is kinda funny.

Mike dared speak out publicly against the company and they did that to him and his wife. I hope they soaked Vince for retirement money.

Stealing money from racists is always good tho. And when racists rip each other off, well that's just the invisible hand of the market at work, folks.

wage theft is always bad. like i don’t give a single poo poo that it’s unfair to him specifically, but it’s still super hosed up to fine someone for something they did years before you employed contracted them, which you also knew about at the time you hired them, specifically and solely for the purposes of PR

that's another can of worms. WWE's worklife policies are hellish. Their Wellness Policy unfairly targets contractors who are already paying out of pocket for their own healthcare. They'll harass you for taking naps but expect you to drive 8 hours nonstop after wrestling that night. And if you so much as show a semblance of a personal life that someone doesn't like, welp there went your Mania payday.

Which is my point. The promotion purposely paid Mox peanuts but accidentally (or ineptly, if we're being less generous) failed to protect Kairi.

had Charlotte been trained better she would have recognized her fellow worker was suffering and adjusted accordingly. Its absolutely an institutional failure.

Advertising people are gonna be at house shows and then switching up the lineup is some poo poo I'd expect from Ian Rotten. WWE's contempt for their fanbase and how their diehards will always show up for more is absolutely fascinating.

the cuck stuff isn't even real cucking, its just bad black panic drama with a dash of homophobia.

I went with false advertising because the cuck stuff is indicative of larger more structural problems in WWE.

I don't have Twitter but I'd vote for the plane incident in a heartbeat over the propaganda. Vince not only put most of the roster in jeopardy, but the loving coward bailed on them and got his own flight out of there while everyone else was in limbo.

Then they issued a press release about the folks stuck on the plane "not wanting it enough" or whatever. Like goddamn they're your people on your dime and your time that you left there.

Did Kendo have an apartment he was making rent on or what? I didn't really catch most of the story other than he was "stuck in USA" which is pretty lovely in itself.

And jfc the Drake thing. That's all I'm gonna say.
