How are you an independent contractor with a 360 deal?

[Bubba T]

Reading that endeavors thread, it seems that Up Up Down Down is owned by the WWE. I know there was a whole thread months back of the E telling its talent that they have to give up all rights to their Twitch, Onlyfans to them and they’ll get a percentage back in return.

This is still some of the craziest shyt I’ve ever heard. A wrestler can build a channel or some type of following outside of WWE but is only entitled to a percentage of the shyt they created Cokeboy’s pimp hand is strong asf

An Xbox 360 comes with the deal

Those guys make a lot of money and it’s not like when JR was doing the hiring picking up athletes from other sports, most of the newer guys and girls are lifelong wrestling fans that made their bones as indie wrestlers doing that shyt for damn near free.

They’re glad to be there and “the boyhood dream” wrestle mania shyt isn’t just a storyline anymore. Why would they rock the boat over Twitch and Onlyfans? Especially when they won’t rock it for health insurance.

The days of guys like Nash and Hall changing how business is done is long over. It would probably take a considerable amount of bad press to get WWE to change how they do shyt

Honestly its the wrestlers own faults. You cant be afraid to bet on yourself. Giving up your money to some guy for a shot at "fame" or to main event wrestlemania is soft as fukk. As long as that happens though theyll keep getting away with it.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Need to step their business game up.

So we not gonna do the AEW thing
We not finna do the Tony Khan thing


However, we gotta start being honest and cut the bullshyt


If this was 2008-2014 and Jeff Jarret or Dixie Carter pulled same move.

No way in hell would we let this slide or give them a pass

At some point there has to a line at “well that’s The WWE” or “Tee hee hee that’s Cokeboy Vince doing Cokeboy things”

This nicca straight up robbing they pockets

No one trynna hear the “they get paid well” stuff

I didn’t say WWE wasn’t wrong for it, I said the wrestlers make a lot of money and instead of being former athletes like JR used to hire (who didn’t have an issue rocking the boat to be properly paid because they weren’t wrestling fans who are fulfilling a life long dream) they’re lifelong wrestling fans who value working their dream job more than they do Health insurance and Twitch/onlyfans money.

They don’t wanna fukk up their job/money

What other company can nikkas get fired from and the nikka who got fired thanks them for it?

A lot of dudes that play professional sports dreamed of playing their sports too, but they don’t have it where they have to give up their rights to do a Cameo to the fukkin NBA

It doesn’t matter how “little money” it is, the simple fact that an old man dictated to people that they have to give up their outside ventures to him and he’ll throw them a lil something back sounds fukkin insane. This is how you know that the general public really doesn’t give a fukk about professional wrestling, because if this was an actual sport this shyt would never fly. This would be all over media and then shyt would change.

When’s the last time wrestling was REALLY talked about like that, the Benoit double murder/suicide? That’s when they introduced their “Wellness Program”, them nikkas had to be shamed into doing that shyt

I’m not defending it, I’m telling you why the wrestlers aren’t doing anything about it.

you wanna hear me defend it? If they’re gonna let Vince run their shyt and not say or do nothing about it then fukk em

And keeping it WWE related, how many actually had the ability to actually be something regardless outside of:

Austin
Rocky
Cena
Possibly Reigns

EVERYBODY else, and I do mean EVERYBODY couldn't transition to other things. That's why vince could do what he does. 1-2% of your WWE wrestlers could actually be something outside of wrestling.

Nah I get it. It just seems crazy to me that the WWE can get away with it.

Professional wrestling is so fukking weird, it’s the only medium I recall that can have a shytty product and the fans will continue to find reasons to consume it.
