Xavier Woods probably having a meltdown right now.

I hope Vince dies.

Yeah that seems to be one of the main causes for the change since some talent can easily make more in a year than what they'd normally be making in WWE and WWE gets none of sweet side money. Impact had a similar issue some time ago but they went as far as taking a percentage of talent's outside booking fees.

Based on some updates, seems WWE is only demanding talent to drop everything associated with WWE for their side stuff and if they refuse, WWE's is gong to get their cut of the money via fines and punishments.

Now whether or not those who following through and change their account names will still get to keep their side stuff won't really be known until around a month from now assuming WWE doesn't back down from their stance. Its still a shitty move in the end since its taking away stuff that helped make them popular and recognizable in the first place.

This actually puts me in the Yang Gang.

This shit goes back into the 80s with Sgt Slaughter and his G.I Joe stuff which caused him to leave the company while being the #2 babyface in the company in late 84

He also took a large chunk of Paul Orndorff's Absorbine jr commercial in 1985. Reportedly the WWF got $42,500 and Orndorff got $7500.

Here's the commercial. He's in it very briefly

Imagine being upset the owner of a company is trying to put a stop to his employees giving away things about how the company is run that the public doesn't really need to know (assuming this all stems from AJs stuff)

Its like Chik fil A firing employees for posting tik toks of how they cook food.

if you didn't say orndorf was in that I wouldn't have recognized him lol

Would love to see this get taken to court and this "independent contractor" shit get thrown out once and for all. How the fuck has he gotten away with this for all this time? The wrestlers are practically under lock and key, they can't even get a haircut without permission because if it's a different style or much different length it alters their appearance and merchandise has to be redone, probably have to ask permission to take a shit as well.

It would get tied up in courts and cost a fortune.

Seems NXT's move to Tuesday this past week might have had a negative effect for Impact Wrestling.

Impact's show on Tuesday ended up being around 69k lower than last week's episode and around 53k lower than what they had been typically averaging these past couple months.

Last week's show did around 171k viewers while this week's show did 102k viewers.

Almost have forgotten that was a thing. What the hell is he even doing now? When is the last time he was on tv?

He's been out of action for the past few months due to another knee injury.

Came back in late April from a lengthy knee injury only to get hurt again a month later.

According to Cagematch.net, he's only been around for 3 shows this year with the last being the May 22nd episode of Main Event.

Dude has an awesome look.

Shame about everything that happens after the bell rings though.

His promos were subpar as well. The “comedy” bit during the Nakamura rivalry was tasteless.

I can't imagine any of his promos weren't scripted word for word. Hard to really tell who is and isn't good on the mic when they're handed the verbal equivalent of runny diarrhea to read off of.

That might hold water if everyone didn't already know just about everything about the wrestling business anyway. The company produced tough enough ffs. And going by Vince, they're not employees so he has no control over what they say or do on their own time.

Vince seems to pick and choose depending on the narrative how the "performers" are treated, how can they be "Independent" if the wwe seems to think they control almost every aspect of them, even down to their actual name? I would honestly love to see this brought to court and ruled against.

I enjoyed his title run up until that point. WWE should have pulled the trigger on Nakamura as champion then. Jinder's reign wouldn't have overstayed it 's welcome, and Shinsuke would be better off today being able to call him the former WWE Champion.

It is insanity that we live in a world where Jinder Mahal is a former WWE Champion and Shinsuke Nakamura never has been.

WWE recently released a statement regarding Vince's new ban on talent's third party streaming and side money gigs.

Pretty much confirmed the whole issue revolves around money and them wanting full control over what their talent do during their free time if its associated with the company in any way (ex. using ring names for Twitch channels).

In regards to the earlier stuff about WWE also trying to claim ownership of their talent's real names for outside stuff, Meltzer reported that the basis for it was from what talent were initially told by WWE's director of talent relations Mark Carrano.

The Simpsons bit at the end might be the best gag ever done in the Botchamania series. Probably also the longest gag ever as well.

Ralphus RIP

I think someone should bring back the fireball

Bundy too

Yeah I forgot about Bundy and his computer commercials

He's a joke glad he faded back to irrelevance!

Yet to figure out the significance of random ass tattoos across the clavicle.

What is up with her jugs?

Angular, spacious cleavage like a Picasso painting.

The significance is it's the same tattoo her mom that died had.

Now back to figuring out if you are gonna give a match 5 stars or knock it down to a 2 cause of a couple minor things you didn't like.

Nia def has a penis!

First off, who the fuck is it?

Secondly, you must have me confused with someone who watches wrestling on a consistent basis. Now back to dreaming about clam slamming, bull-dyke.

It's my gf.

Since i can actually pull a relationship unlike you that shows i don't have to dream about it.

Congrats i remember the 1st time i was called a dyke it was 7th grade shows the level you think at.

Well done, and she needs to be part of your sig on a wrestling forum why exactly?

Because i don't advertise a relationship in my sig that means i have none, flawless logic. And you go on to gibber about a 7th grade level, whilst demonstrating a lower intelligence level with your above comment.:wtf:

Which would still be vastly higher than the level you operate at, needing to advertise you're bumping uglies with someone else like anyone actually gives a fuck. :rofl:

Cause it's my account i can make my sig birds flying out of a gorilla's ass if i want to.

It's a pic of her if i was advertising a relationship it would be a picture of me and her.

It seems to bother you a little too much makes me wanna make a tape of us fucking to really send you in a nerd rage.

Feel free to :yes:

Nobody needs\wants to see that.


A tape? Sorry is this 1992? I doubt very much your well developed fingers would be able to operate a 90's camcorder.

If that is the case, i'll pretend to be mad at your signature too :yes:
