I could see Paige wanting out of WWE since that new edict is going to hurt her the most out of everyone who uses Twitch in WWE.
Not only is she the highest ranked streamer in WWE in terms of both subs and earnings, she probably makes as much money if not more from Twitch than from her WWE contract based on recent estimates. |

They should strike by not showing up for Smackdown, just have a Twitch stream going where they just sit and watch Smackdown. Also, id love to be a fly on the wall when they try to tell Ronda Rousey that lol |
Legally, its probably muddy since the whole process depends on talent willingly handing over ownership of their accounts and also agreeing to the new terms for their downsides.
If a talent says no, only real way out is WWE agreeing to their release since anything else likely leaves WWE the ability to start punishing and fining them via whatever disciplinary terms are in their contracts if they keep using their account. WWE's whole plan assumes a talent won't just stop using Twitch or use it a lot less often since then they'd own a mostly useless account once the subs money dries up. |

LOL, love the rant that Conrad goes on. |
Turns out Triple H's hyped up announcement regarding NXT TakeOver 31 having a "very unique look and feel" ended up being a bit anti-climatic. Its taking place at the Performance Center and not at the ThunderDome as had been rumored earlier.
Same PC that only recently reopened from its recent coronavirus outbreak and has been WWE's hotbed for outbreaks these past few months. |

no more cinematic matches plz.

If they do go ahead with Mania in Tampa, they better bring back Kairi Sane and have her do a grand entrance on that giant pirate ship or else why even bother.

Lesnar would have stood a better chance against Kairi had he used the Swiss Chair of Nefarious Neutrality instead.

WWE's new ban on third party service just keeps getting worse the more WWE goes ahead with it.
Newest issue is WWE has been making their talents sign newly revised contracts containing terms demanding they continue using Twitch via WWE owned accounts and if they don't, WWE would consider it to be the same as if they failed to perform their regular job and open themselves up to punishments. Comes from recent talks Andrew Yang had with talent within the company regarding the new ban on third party services. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hearing from talent that WWE is forcing performers to sign new contracts that include twitch. Streaming on twitch will become a work obligation and if talent doesn’t stream they will forego earnings, be suspended or face penalties. Doesn’t sound like independent contractors.</p>— Andrew Yang������ (@AndrewYang) <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1312102299469115392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 2, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> |
The independent contractors issue will be the final nail in the coffin of WWE. Surely enough of noise will be made for the American government to hold hearings on the flagrant abuse of contractors, the lack of benefits or a union .
Speaking of unions , why don’t these performers belong to some actors union yet ? |
That's some next level bullshit with the third party stuff coming up.
|
Next few days are about to get interesting.
|
How could WWE make them do Twitch on their off time??? Lol Vince is seriously losing it

Samu posted on FB that Tracey Smothers cancer has returned along with a heart issue. Not doing so well. Smothers is the fucking best and a treasure.

Twitch shit is unbelievable :mad:

But at that time wrestling was “still in the closet”. Now it’s widely acknowledged and accepted that they are actors. Also, wrestling doesn’t pay to athletic commissions anymore. Wwe wrestlers cannot take bookings elsewhere, or even have other revenue streams - they are employees without benefits. If a class action lawsuit or senate hearing had to occur , and it found wwe in the wrong, I wonder if they would be responsible medical etc for all the previous wrestlers... |
i remember when twitch banned impact for a week i can see un happy wrestlers getting themselves banned from twitch. we may get a sex tape
|
Hmmm you think AJ Styles will just start screaming the N word repeatedly next stream?
|
This 3rd party story is fucking bullshit. I hope that this is the end for WWE. I'm done with that megalomaniac.
|
If I didn’t already fork out next to nothing to keep up with WWE I think this is the point I’d consider saying “Fuck Vince” and stop giving the guy any money.

Even though WWE is still dealing with the aftermath of their recent coronavirus outbreak at the Performance Center, supposedly they will have a limited live crowd for tomorrow's NXT TakeOver 31 event.
Between that and the recent news of NXT going live every week, WWE's been making some really dumb decisions of late regarding their handling of the coronavirus and future plans for shows. Quote:

Also seems the reason why WWE is moving NXT from Full Sail to their Performance Center is a mix of NXT hasn't been using Full Sail students to help with production since going closed set for tapings and Full Sail recently partially re-opened and didn't want to risk the chance that someone from WWE could infect their students and staff.
Plus moving away from Full Sail means WWE no longer has to follow Full Sail's rules for NXT tapings. Quote:

Retribution should have debuted post twotch announcement in a worked shoot angle
|
Apparently WWE renamed their ring area used for tapings inside the Performance Center to the new name of Capitol Wrestling Center.
Will look similar to WWE's ThunderDome but with a mix of virtual and live fans for the crowd. In terms of historical significance of the name, Capitol Wrestling was the precursor to WWE. Quote:

Seems something recently happened behind-the-scenes at Pro Wrestlng Sheet since Ryan Satin announced he has left the website.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">EXCLUSIVE: This week I requested my release from <a href="https://twitter.com/WrestlingSheet?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WrestlingSheet</a> and effective immediately I’ll be stepping away from the site. <br><br>Details to come in the near future regarding my replacement, as the site owners want to keep it going and build on the integrity of the brand.</p>— Ryan Satin (@ryansatin) <a href="https://twitter.com/ryansatin/status/1312141814845980672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 2, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Doesn't seem like he got a new job with WWE since he hasn't teased it based on all the tweets he's sent since then. |
Good to hear they plan to keep going and build on the integrity of Wrestling Sheet.
|
Who the fuck is Ryan Satin?
|
One of those newz sheetz dudes
|
Former TMZ reporter that got cozy with WWE over the years ending up with him getting hired for their WWE Backstage show before that got cancelled.
During that period he also got involved in a bunch of sleazy-like stuff like the time he was stalking an adult entertainer on Twitter without realizing everyone could read his public tweets and getting into countless bickering feuds with Meltzer, Bixenspan, and others whenever he got called out on his shady reporting. Even his departure from TMZ to form his own website had some sleazy stuff involved. |
Got the VXS show on. Sabu is fighting some mong in the Main Event. Just watched Lio Rush vs Brian Cage. Too Cold Scorpio is supposed to be on it.
|
Pillman Jr is wrestling in a fatal 4 way with 3 guys I've never heard of. It's been pretty bad. Pillman won.
Cage vs Rush was ok. |
Jordan Oilver vs Too Cold Scorpio. Now we are talking.
|
Lol they went almost 30 minutes. Scorpio is almost 55 and did a double springboard moonsault.
|
Matt Tremont vs Homicide next. AR Fox was supposed to fight Homicide but had travel issues.
