Not until 50 mins-1 hr in when he explains how agents and producers repeatedly told him to make Roman Reigns look strong at the TLC PPV and how he and Del Rio got out of their contracts.
Thought he got fired, what he mean got out? :dahell:

I mean how he got a settlement out of it...my bad. Apparently he also got fukked out of pay during a tour of Mexico. He made $5k for 4 days of shows as a main eventer.

Exactly. WWE blocked those outside opportunities which is why he didn't get "so many products, covers and things" you mentioned earlier.
Yeah but when you consider how lavish WWE were with giving him a push and the number of products, it kind of flys in the face of the narrative that they were holding him back.
Logically they may have seen an opportunity to promote other less pushed wrestlers through those offers and that can be seen as getting fukked over depending on the perspective. They should have been honest with him on that but that's where it depends on how much hes saying through his side.

Anything good discussed?

One hour in, he discuss how he was booked for Wizard World with a 20000 payday for 4 hours of work, and they pulled him out and booked Bryan instead. Then, they asked him to do the Mexico tour. 4 dates, hardcore matches every night. 5000 dollars for the 4 nights.

Basic pimpology in effect. You want your hoes to be broke and dependent on you so they can't leave. Or if they leave, you don't want your other hoes to see your ex ho living happy without you, or even worse, making more money without you. Vinny Mac aka Sweet V

Actually pretty cool to see Punk even more solidify the fact that Rock is genuinely one of the good guys. Dude saw all that twitter slander, hit up Punk privately, was quickly informed and was all like "alright bro, do you."

Thats whats up.

nikkas like Ryback got to get all in their feelings and shyt.

It's really starting to sound like Vince is taking the mindset of all the old wrestling promoters. Those that would only end up pushing themselves or family members since the mentality was those are only people you can trust not to leave. That would tie in to them building people up and wanting them to be big enough stars to sell but not big enough to cross over into mainstream to leave and have other avenues.

Eh, this follow up was okay. Didn't really pick up till 1 hour in. Rock sending the text privately was a good look. The whole Wizard World shyt was :laff:

Ryback responds to Punk:


The Big Guy taking the higher road while setting things straight :salute:

That's my 4 time WWE champion :to:


I believe him re kicking him in the ribs. Don't think he meant to miss the table either, but he still botched the shyt out of that :pachaha:

Regardless, that's my WM31 Main Eventer :to:
