I hope by using her real name Sasha Banks avoids all this nonsense.....but she probably won't


As much as we hate McMahon's business practices
Its an effective one.
One that the UFC has adopted and the fighters like the Prowrestlers with WWE still view it as the most high and the place to be

Sad
..but not worthy of sympathy

Watching Dana White become McMahon Jr. over the years has been alarming af tho....because he aint the only one....

This Vince when he logged in to the computer and saw this OnlyFans thing that Zelina was doing:

I also see Ryback leading the charge on Twitter.

roman already said nobody watches Raw and he ain't lie

They try to get away with the character ownership like they are actors playing a character, but it's much more than that. If they truly own the character. Then, they should own the affiliated ring style, moves, and finisher. The clearest evidence is that they don't recast a character. If there was say agovt official that want to make an example out of WWE. They can really push their shyt in on their right to sole ownership of character is completely baseless and shouldn't apply to prowrestling.

Ryback is an example of that. The Dudley is another example of getting fukked by it.

Breh, that’s taking it ridiculously too far. No one owns moves.

E owns the name, and to an extent, the character (aka gimmick). I get why they can’t use their ring names on Twitch and shyt, but the wrasslers should be able to keep all their profit if they’re not using E trademarked names.

Actually it was the other way around. AJ pulled a Brock Lesnar 2004 on they asses and in retaliation they had Nikki break her record (just like they did to Lesnar with Orton) and they pulled her from WWE 2K16 despite her being the most popular female on the roster.

Im trying to understand this.So you can't have twitch but you can have a youtube channel? A lot of wrestlers have their own youtube channel

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

At the bootlickers in here

Straight suckers. Motherfukkas would let Vinny Mac come in their homes, take the last roll of toilet paper, and be happy to wipe their ass with their hands just to say they helped Vince.

 

[Art Barr]

they already have no one watching now lol.

i can't tell from the responses in this thread tho.

Yeah everyone knows how advertisers use thecoli as a benchmark for ad dollars

Hard to believe that Jericho even had Yang on his podcast since he's Trumpset. I guess when someone you wouldn't peg as a professional wrestling fan sprouts up, you better grab the opportunity to speak to them.

The news of Zelina Vega's abrupt release from WWE on Friday caught the attention of labor union leaders and politicians, and was covered by mainstream media outlets.

Vega reportedly failed to comply with the third party edict handed out by WWE last month and proceeded to open a new OnlyFans account, which did not help her case among WWE brass, according to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio.

Meltzer noted that Vega was adamant in her position to continue with her Twitch account and the backstory is that she was among "a couple of women who were making more money through social media than their WWE contracts." Vega was supposedly "making a lot of money on Twitch" prior to WWE asking talents to cease activity on third party platforms.

For Vega, it boiled down to choosing between WWE and Twitch, and she chose the latter, according to Meltzer. "She made her choice and WWE had no option but to fire her," he said.

Meltzer mentioned that since the "old way of making money in WWE" through house shows and PPV paydays is no longer available to talents, they are looking at other revenue sources while working only 5-6 times a month since the start of the pandemic.

Previously, talents who had low guarantees on their contracts were heavily reliant on paydays from house shows and PPVs. While talents who signed contracts pre-AEW are most unhappy due to lower guarantees, talents who got "bigger contracts" post-AEW have been less vocal about the developing situation.

With WWE "taking away" the talents' ability to make money off streaming platforms, there is growing resentment in the locker room, added Meltzer. "With no house shows or PPVs, they need a way to augment the past money and WWE took it away from them."

On the flipside, WWE maintains that it should get a slice of the revenue that talents make by utilizing their WWE names, albeit in third party platforms.

WWE is reportedly in the process of "doing their own Twitch deal" and giving a percentage of that revenue to talents. The percentage will be counted against downside guarantees, which is another bit of information that hasn't sat well with some talents.

Vega returned to her Twitch feed on Friday within a few hours of her WWE release. She is presently serving the customary 90-day non-compete clause, which prevents her from appearing on TV for any other wrestling promotion until mid-February 2021.
