Aight, so I’m watching clips and shyt while I’m on break. Did Kenny casually admit that Don gave him Roids/HGH when he was young???

Probably gave him more than that.

Over $100K seems like a lot to me for a sponsorship for a non-prestige game, especially considering it's going to be on XBox Game Pass from day one, it appears, and sale price is $40.

It’s based on a popular horror franchise. D

I see the speculation is that Santana & Ortiz might join BCC against Kingston/Best Friends/Lucha Bros

Have they made up (Santana and Ortiz)?

Also heard that the man in the Leatherface outfit was Grado, if true watch Tony Kahn buy the rights to Madonna's Like a Prayer for one night.

The streets are saying they made up. If you may or may not remember, Santana was likely on the outs with AEW before his injury. I read that Tony Khan kept him on the payroll during his injury too, so that fence is likely mended as well.

In both companies when you miss significant time with injuries they just pause the contract and tack that amount of time missed onto the back end

Yeah, what I meant was that I read that he kept paying Santana's full salary while he was out. I think most wrestler's deals have it where they see a decrease in pay while they're out on injury. I could be wrong though.

I don't think that applies anymore, I think WWE got rid of the downside guarantee/bonus model and now wrestlers get paid a guaranteed salary no matter what. I'm sure they still get extra royalties and shyt depending on what their merch does etc

as far as I know AEW is on the guaranteed salary model too

Fightful said it was someone named Dean Alexander.

All I know is they better not put Santana and Ortiz in another stable if they do return. They also need to let them run the tag team division.

 

[TOAD99]

I’d love to see Santana and Ortiz return soon
