Ventura try to solve this years ago by having a union but Hogan ratted him out to Vince.
There is no way in hell I would ever put Hogan on a Mount Rushmore of wrestling because of these actions. Any Superstar can be greedy and selfish, but a real Superstar looked out for others as they were also rising to the top because they knew their momentum wouldn't be stopped.
Its a cutthroat business, brother.
Ventura still gets paid by Vince, he really doesn’t seem too worried about “the boys” anymore now that he’s getting his
Hearsay from Ventura. Poor planning and organization by Ventura.
You are correct.
The only reason they really cared about keeping Gallows & Anderson was to keep AJ Styles around. Bet money. After they secured AJ, they weren't needed anymore.
AJ plans on retireing in 2024-25 to be with his family. Hes not going anywhere. Gallows and Anderson are just not needed to keep AJ in the main event he can do it by him self. They just didnt want the competioton to have them.
@@LazarSoljaga I've heard that plan to retire crap forever never turns out to be the case
@@LazarSoljaga he is saying they re-signed his friends cause AJ.s contract was up and they want to keep him(maybe afraid he would jump to AEW perhaps?). it makes sense cause they released them shortly after
I doubt this to be the case. Aj went there two reasons 1) he always wanted to 2) he padded that retirement fund
Did Melzter Magoo tell you that twat
They’re to one sided. WWE can pull the plug on you at any time and you can’t quit when you’re being treated bad. But you don’t get any benefits because you’re a “independent contractor”
Everyone BUT the Wrestlers get benefits
Andre Ricardo Bryant not if you’re under contract a lot of red tape bullshit
They could not do anything to Punk because they cannot keep you from retiring. Just like in the NFL, if you never attempt to play for another league and you just don't want to play football at all any more, then they have no reason to bother you.
I've heard countless stories of guys asking Vince to be released from their contract and him letting them go.
That's just like an NFL contract ..
They can do the same thing.
No loyalty in sports.
Vince does something despicable:
Why are people shocked in 2020?🤷
This ☝
Lmao seriously..
Disney let go alot of people wheres the outrage?
@@chadk890 Disney cutting employees off doesn't mean you can't watch Bambi
Shame he ain't out on TV to milk it like he always did.
It's almost too bad that Vince isn't still on tv to soak up all this heat. There hasn't been a heel this hated in wrestling since...well, Vince McMahon lol 😂 🤷♂️
see, if Vince was smart (& younger,) he would do that...
but, when Bret got screwed, Vince really thought the fans would cheer him as a hero.
"It's just business, pal!"
(but, honestly, Vince IS really broken over releasing everyone...)
This comment is pure gold 🤣🤣🤣
He comes out sometimes and marks pop for him
Lmao.
@FAT COUNTRY I remember when he dominated a match against John Cena and I was baffled why he wouldn't pin him and win the title and his arrogance would cost him. (Before I found out it was scripted lol!)
re: Bret's contract
He signed for 20 years (!) and they backed out of it less than a year later
WCW at the time was offering him far more money, too
In the thumbnail it almost looks like Vince is farting in Jim's face.
James Sparks can’t unsee it now
I love these thumbnails 😂😂
I don't care it's only been an hour, you need more likes.
That wouldn't exactly be unprecedented as Vince has been known to shit his pants before! :D
MR. MCMAHON & HIS ASS!
Independent contractor but u must only work for us and we have complete control over everything while working about 300 days a year
On one of these episodes, Jim read from a list of things an independent contractor is supposed to be allowed to do and it was hilarious how many things the WWE wrestlers can't do: set your own hours, etc etc
Which is ridiculous how are you a independent contractor if you're not allowed to leave, set your own hours, negotiate a fair wage, etc? I've heard rumors that they aren't really allowed to negotiate much when it comes to their contract outside of money. The number of days they have to work per year, the 90 day no compete clause, and the clause that allows them to add time on for injuries are non negotiable.
@glenn hill For the longest that was harsh truth but now not so much. There's no good reason to sign a contract like that when there are plenty of options .
@@richardtheconquerer for a minimum of a hundred grand a year. I suspend my sympathy
Just like UFC, without the insane schedule.
I am a simple man. I see a 20 minute Cornette video I click and like.
You aren't alone 😂
Alamyst2011 I see any length Cornette vid and I hit like. He’s great to listen to.
@@nysportsfan2576 Same. The guy takes me back to being a youngster watching SMW, WCW and even WWF. He knows his stuff, tells it well and busts balls so good.
I feel like I say it every time but, shout out to the man/woman who makes the illustrations! They just get better and better! 😂
Shout out to Travis Heckle
Tobias Farragut thank you! x
@xMrsJericho 👍
“Hopefully someone can look that up on the RUclips.” I dunno why I laughed so hard at this. 🤣
Looks like wrestlers need signing bonuses w/the heavy amount of money up front.
ericlogos but look at those names. A guy like Heath Slater ain’t getting that.
So any person off the street ,without proven drawing power , should get a signing bonus?
@@davidnelson4347 Yes if they have been in company for 3-4 years and the company is heavily recruiting them to stay.
They need a union it makes no sense to work 300 days out of the year with no real insurance that you'll be employed beyond the next day.
Reeal Evans i disagree. It was stupid for what wwe signing all this talent to hoard them and you see it bit them right in the behind. Also if you’ve been in company for e-4 years and you ain’t making me money and I’m paying you a lot of money than I’m an idiot.
sad to see wwe being seemingly run into the ground by vince whose actions dictate that hes goddamn senile by now
Vince is a ruthless business man. He cares about himself and nobody else.
Remember, before him nobody was ruthless enough to try a territory takeover. He was. He may have bought Snukals way out of a murder charge too. He didn't care about Nancy or her family.
He cares about himself and his bank account.
What's interesting is that they have less than 10% of the viewership they used to have, but they're still running business as usual. Clearly this is not a wrestling company, it's a product company and the soulless appeal of it shows.
It's a really sick thing with major league sports too. Even with viewership and live attendance down before the pandemic, somehow the brand is worth more and more for potential revenue and advertising.
@v b It's really not that simple. People look back fondly on the Attitude Era, but they're only remembering the main stories. The Austin vs Mcmahon feud, Rock vs Austin, various programs involving Mick Foley, the concept of DX, the good parts of the Attitude Era were phenomenal, but the Attitude Era was a mess that, despite nostalgia, really shouldn't come back. Everything outside the main stories was a schizophrenic, bipolar nightmare where nothing made sense. The WWE just needs to let their wrestlers wrestle, they need to stop scripting promos, fire their entire writing staff, aside from the actual wrestlers on the writing staff and to accomplish this, someone needs to take out Kevin Dunn and brainwash Vince into handing the keys to the castle over to Triple H. Once *allllll* that is done, then we'll see an improved WWE. Adding more run ins and brawls when WWE already has too many would just muddy already swamp like waters.
This is why guys like Brock get all their money from Vince. Don't expect loyalty so get yours before the well dries up.
Damn right. I’ve never blamed Brock or anyone else for getting their’s. You bet your ass Vince gets his
They probably just didn't want Gallows and Anderson to leave and go to AEW when it was still on the upswing. At least they got a few months of those 750k a year contracts. They'll be lucky if that can get 2500/night on the indy scene whenever indy shows get back up again but they should get decent NJPW deals.
When are you going to AEW yourself ? hehe. Btw great match with Al snow. Loved it.
How love how Vince ALWAYS has the exact same expression on his face in the artwork.
i guess southpaw regional wrestling is cancelled ...
F, I actually liked that mini show lol
I never get tired of these great thumbnails. Kudos to whomever is doing these; great work.
As they say in the music business, "Don't get hoed by the record label." Even though I'm not a fan of AEW, I do hope that the wrestlers actually take the time to read their contacts instead of just looking at the bonus.
wwe now is just like wcw 20 years ago(great talent being treated like trash by bullshit promoters)
another masterpiece by Travis !! Jim is as informative as ever . luv u guys !!!!
I'd guess WWEs logic would be they WWE didn't want people seeing talent walking out to go be happier elsewhere and this was a oppurtunity to fire all those who wanted to leave. That way WWE controlled the narrative. They are now WWE rejects rather than seen as those who wanted to jump off the sinking ship.
WWE hasn't been the same since
"The Best In the World" left
Shane McMahon 🏆
😂😭😂😭
Love the artwork!
My only takeaway, is that viking raiders went defeated by Good Brothers.
I worked full time for a company that told me there was a 60 day probationary period of getting a 1099 before being put on the books. I worked there for 10 months. Showed up at same office every day at same time. Did the same in house work. Yet, they didn't put me on the books. Even after I asked them to. Turns out after I left that company, the owner was pinched by the IRS for other infractions and had to close down the office I worked in. IRS not going after Vince McMahon after all these years seems like an inside job ($$$ payouts to irs officials) is taking place.
Ive always said Vince has some of the best attorneys in the WORLD. Throw in the fact that Linda used to be a paralegal and taught him about licensing and Connecticut/NY being one of, if not THE largest money hub in the world there are definitely pay offs/walking fine lines of legality going on
you should've squealed to the IRS,
you might've got a reward
Drake maverick is better known as Rockstar Spud. He'll be fine. If I owned a promotion Id sign him in a heartbeat
thats true
I can think of 6 companies that'll happily take Maverick and WILL utilize him well.
He would make a great manager. WWE ruined their chance to make another Bobby Heenan with Drave Maverick.
@@TheKestevon Because he's NOT The Brain
@@bloodangel13 how was he not utilized well? Hes 5 foot 4, he was an entertainment wrestler and a GM. Theres not much more you can do with a guy that small. He did well.
It is Brian's DUTY to get Jim to watch No Way Jose's entrance to the ring. lol
Live facecam. 😂
@@Cairo98_ and for aew
It show you that wrestler need a union.. in WWE
No one in WWE will that
you think WWE is bland now? Wait till they unionize...it will kill wrestling
Glenn Ross, wrestling has been dead for years.
@@terrybrooks597 pretty much yeah....a union will be he final nail in the coffin, unions represent sameness, uniformity, it wont work with something like wrestling where individuality is everything
btw: I like your books
I wish they were my books, I was only named after the author.
Can you imagine how bad the revival versus anderson and gallows, would make the young bucks look
Vince just saving money for XFL 2022
I honestly believe it, the XFL was a success kind of, just this virus happen at the wrong time for a new league to start.
Brian, did you read any of the bankruptcy papers?
They were fucked without corona.
Nah, Nate they were done. And I loved the league. It was hemorrhaging money.
This all what CM Punk and Moxley were dealing with on their ways out
Wrestling is like Hollywood. All the actors are the same; no characters or stand outs.

Vince MacMahon is a lot like the coach for the Patriots Bill Belichick lol his slogan should be "I do what's best for the business"
@Sky Blaze21 tell me about it....just like Belichick, he let's the greatest QB of all time walk cause hes too "old"....I "Was" a Patriots fan, but now Brady went to Tampa Bay and I'm going with him lol actually ordered my Tampa Bay Brady jersey its on the way in the mail 😂
@Sky Blaze21 Belichick never won before Brady, he had 4 seasons and made the playoffs once....we can go back and forth all day on this subject lol just know I have my reasons for switching, its not just petty as Brady leaving....goes deeper than that for me...Brady leaving was just the straw that broke the camels back.....my problems with Belichick go all the way back to the first spygate
@Sky Blaze21 well that's yet to be determined if Bill is gonna win more championships....we gonna find out this year who needed who so buckle up gonna be a wild one lol I know one thing Brady is gonna light it up with Gronk Mike Evans and Godwin watch
@Sky Blaze21 same to you homie, good luck with your Skins, I hope Haskins has a great year.
one of our unions was trying to get Walmart employees of a new store here to join the union.
Walmart just said "oh, the store's not making enough money"
& they closed their new store...
Where was this?
@@patrickmorrissey3084 Pretty sure it happened several times but I can confirm this happened in Quebec, Canada.
That's generally what happens. Unions in 2020 are not like steelworker unions in 1920. It has become politicized beyond their usefulness. No one is forcing anyone to work anywhere... Don't like your job? Leave and get a different job. Don't like how the WWE runs their business? Start your own unionized promotion. Then people like me will laugh and point as it crashes and burns in about 6 months because most who bitch about this type of thing know jack shit about what they're bitching about.
YQu're being TrQlled exactly. Unions have become completely politicized.
I never understood why they called him No Way Jose til this exact moment.
because he is always in denial
Vince going to heaven = NO CHANCE IN HELL !.
Nobody has the balls to unionize.
...because most people who bitch about wanting to "unionize" don't even know what the fuck they're doing. Nor do they seem to understand business or supply and demand factors.
Best podcast around
@13:15 "I've never been any employee of anything.." and having tax deductions, insurance etc like the rest of us. What a run Jimmy has had, 57 yrs old, never worked a job outside of wrestling...
LOL! Without the thumbnail... I wouldn't have stopped here. I wanted to hear this happen.
Those released wrestlers were probably overpaid since WWE was hoarding talents from AEW and NJPW.
Hope the wrestlers didn’t ran their bills and debts too high.
or they weren't being used
Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!🙌🐐🐐
They fucking released Mike Chioda of all people. How.
Jim Cornette is my spirit animal.
hey! that's my line!
Trump promised he'd be president, AND he payed for it.
Still love Cornie tho, even if we disagree politically.
Yeah I am kind of surprised Jim is on the SJW Feminist Transgender Trump hate train. He is smarter than that, but programming is programming. I guess its not all that surprising since the elite got everyone hating Trump.
Magick..... is Cornette really? I thought he was a southern conservative with common sense.
@@dennisjr77 Is he really what? He hates Trump like most people. Most people just like and hate what most other people do. Followers. I joke about the SJW, feminist, TS thing because every single one of those people hate Trump. People just don't have a clue what is going on on this planet.
Magick..... most people in California and media hate him because they’re sheep.... the rest of us.... not so much.
@@dennisjr77 Well, its the media that people listen to. That is how you control what people think. It snowballs from there.
Pretty disgusting that Vince still won’t offer health insurance to his talent unless they’re officially employed and once they’re employed you get in trouble for taking bumps.
Gallows and Anderson need to go back to Japan and bring Prince Devitt along with them to add some juice back to the Bullet Club again
Bullet Club is done bro, let it go
@@glennross85 I was gonna say... They're still a thing? fuck, it's like they've been running longer than the actual nWo.
Nah they should do what Mox did work Japan and AEW ,they will be great with the Revival and put some steel into the AEW tag division,if there are 4 guys who could make WWE regret letting them go they are it.
AEW
They're independent contractors until challenged in court.
4:22 I have just made this my alert for when I get msgs 😂
haha i'm going to make it my ringtone 😂😂
WHATTHEFUCKKKWHATTHEFUCKKK 😂
See, this why we need Medicare4all.
Currently, if you lose your job, your family loses its health insurance.
Does everyone here see why rich people are against Med4all?
Uh, you can keep your health insurance benefits through COBRA if you lose your job unless you qualify to be on your spouse's insurance.
Public health is crap, you sit on waiting lists for years and years getting sicker and sicker and by the time you get your surgery the problem has gone beyond the planned surgery so you are basically back at square one, private insurance isnt perfect ,but its better than public health, take it from someone who lives in a country with a national health service.
@@glennross85 take it from someone who lives in the US....our insurance industry is absolute shit. We pay out the nose in Premiums all for the "pleasure" of having to then pay ridiculous co pays and crippling deductibles.
It's a predatory system rigged to fuck the middle class
A guaranteed contract isn't really a guaranteed contract. It's like the nfl. You sign a contract with a team. They can still cut you at any time. But at least they do guarantee a certain amount of money that they have to pay no matter what happens.
You're right, a guaranteed contract isn't 100% guaranteed just because of the name. If you want your money to be 100% guaranteed, it needs to be painstakingly written in as such, and at that point your employer probably won't sign it.
In the AFL (Australian football league) a contract is just used for players and teams to barter better deals now. Depending how long they have been in the league, an out of contract player can leave the club they are playing for by either going to the draft, or leave via free agency. If a player is currently contracted, an opposition team has to negotiate a trade, so clubs and players agree to "contract extensions" to get better deals from opposition teams. Contracts are basically barter items now days.
WWE is a blight pro wrestling allowed grow, fester and bloat. It doesn't just spread but it attacks and takes from anything healthy, directing blood and nutrients its way to continue its unsustainable growth as the rest of the body withers away and dies. Monopolies are self sustaining by definition, yes, but they also tend to be stagnant, and in a dying industry that self sustainability is not the same thing as immortality. Stagnation does nothing to stop necropsy from setting in, growth at the body's expense is just accelerating its death and without the body it ravages the blight will also die.
I remember wwe wanted the young bucks in the contract said you can work here for 90 days after that if you dont like working here you can leave
Seriously...the Wrestling Talent that Vince hired from other companies that already have their copyrighted names and gimmicks were/are the lucky ones because they can use them elsewhere. The guys plucked up by Vince and HHH who are given everything by NXT/WWE arescrewed basically.
I do genuinely think Vince McMahon wants to destroy wrestling before he dies, no one is this delusional and out of touch
but this is what he's always done.
this is how he is.
He already has. He killed wrestling 13 years ago.
He had four members of the bullet Club International ready-made stable, a great tag team and Gallows and Anderson let me let him go... WTF they were never used right.
They were some of the few that were willing to work in this pandemic and he let's them to go.
@Joshua Quinn lol the stuff in njpw is way better then the stuff in wwe. Now i think your out of touch...
Joshua Quinn Well, aren’t you adorable. Everything that’s not WWE = indies in your mind, probably because you have the attention span of a fly. No, NJPW is the second largest promotion in the world with plenty of fans all around the world. Please educate yourself first
@Joshua Quinn The article you posted is from 2015, NJPW has grown significantly by now and has a large following all around the world. They sold out MSG and would have most likely done so again this year if it weren't for this pandemic. Also the Wikipedia article you quote specifically states that NJPW is NOT an indie promotion. They sell out Tokyo Dome every year, they went to England, MSG as I mentioned, and so on. So not an indie promotion by any standard.
However I do apologise for the attention span comment, I'm a bit of a hothead
@Joshua Quinn marks... Using that word in a derogatory way makes you sound pretty stupid tbh. What difference does it make anyway who buys the tickets? It's an arena full of WRESTLING fans (or marks if you insist) smh.
I'm a mark for good wrestling, because I WANT to enjoy and believe what is happening in the ring.
Joshua Quinn are you Jims pet parrot, minus the brain? Because you just mindlessly repeat snippets of things Jim Cornette says. I like wrestling, as in believable, sport-based wrestling. NJPW is the most sport-based promotion you‘ll find. No soap opera shit, no love triangles, just hard hitting wrestling. And yes there is flippy stuff too, but I don’t mind it as much as Jim does, as long as it’s not goofy. You cleary never watched a single NJPW match, if that’s all you reduce it down to. I‘m under a Jim Cornette video because he is the only „wrestling journalist“ or whatever that I can still take seriously, because I agree with about 90% of what he says.
Saying nobody fucks, when the nobody fucks sell out MSG is just idiotic. Just because YOU think they suck and their fans are idiots doesn’t mean shit, because you are a mark yourself just for other promotions (SD/RAW?)
Also why is everyone so fucking militant about the promotions they enjoy, I like NXT, NJPW, AEW, NWA in this order and for different reasons. If you only watch RAW/SD (god knows how you do it, without cutting yourself) go ahead, have fun, but please let me know why you enjoy it.
Sorry for the rant, thank you fuck you bye
Cornette gave the insiders knowledge to what ive been saying about wwe's recent sudden releases. They were all released because there aren't many places to hire them. This was a very cold blooded business move on his part & has made it harder for me to enjoy the wwe.
"Sounds like a '70's gay porn star." - Jim, you are a god. 'Nuf said.
That's something a dark side of wrestling to do if anybody had any old WCW WWF WWE contracts
What is this country where talent is strangled by contracts, but this company can break them whenever?
Vince : “ here’s your contract”
Wrestlers: “yeah I’ll sign that”
Vince : does something that’s in the contract that the wrestler signed
Fans : “tHiS IsNt fAiR 😭”
After crying for months that WWE should let these ax act wrestlers go so they can be used properly elsewhere.now they’ve gone they’re all crying about it lol
pretty much
I'd say the problem isn't that Vince is doing things that are written in the contract, it's his choice of WHEN to do them.
There are rules relating to contracts though. In the UK we have unfair terms in consumer contracts legislation for example.
Also wrestlers signing a contract is a bit like me agreeing to the terms of a bank account - I HAVE TO if I want to get paid.
This is especially the case now that WWE is close to the only game in town.
@Joshua Quinn "You can literally sign a contract with another promotion and work for them..." not right now you can't
That’s why Jesse Ventura always had an ace up his sleeve if Vince ever fired him.
Ventura got his health coverage from SAG anyway! (Screen actors guild)
That was Obama's entire presidency.
I've always wondered how much money VINCE owes
TIME WARNER!
These thumbnails are always great.
Even if he doesn’t like you, if you’re one of the boys... Jim fights for you
Do we know what they got paid out on the contract upon release? Either way seeing people defend WWE is ridiculous.
They're just tossing money at guys to hang out at home, house shows and catering or to be jobbers then let em go when value is totally gone. If you want easy money quick, there ya go. Yikes. WWE ain't the end all be all now but the fact this is how they operate must be deeply saddening for those working their way up with dreams of getting there. Wonder if it'll be any different when someone else takes over as I've lost interest in watching live, maybe I'd come back.
I'm sad that Rusev was given the arse,WWE proved that they didn't know how to use him as a talent
Vince is the Tom Walkinshaw of wrestling, the only difference is that walkinshaw got himself sued by three different drivers in two years when he fucked them on their contracts with his F1 team, but then again walkinshaw was also famous for telling sponsors and suppliers to shut up or fuck off when they'd start asking questions about team performance or late payments for services.
Cornette will have to vote for Biden.
Love these cartoons where Jim is getting owned 🤣
I'm a lifelong WWE fan and I've put up with everything from Mae Young giving birth to a hand to a snake charmer match and I grinned and beared it. This though, this is so shitty of Vince McMahon, I honestly don't know if I can watch ever again. This is the worst thing he's ever done and that says a lot.
The RUclips gets me every time
Jim showing some ankle in that thumbnail
take a cold shower, pal!
Another thing that really sucks about the whole situation with the releases is, even though the WWE are saying "We Don't Want You Working For Us Anymore" and then firing these guys and gals. Only to tell them afterward, "Oh Yeah, And By The Way, You Still Have To Follow Our 90 Day Non-Compete Clause So You Can't Work Anywhere Else For 3 Months Either, Pal"!!!
The contracts are structured to protect wwe not the talent
These wrestlers legit need a union.
Not sure they need a union but somebody needs to sue the WWF for the way they structure contracts. If somebody signs a deal that makes them an independent contractor then they deserve the rights an independent contractor gets
Still got the TDS.
This artist rendition tho! 🤣😂
I want Cornette to read my eulogy
There's always cuts at this time of year. Everyone complaining is complaining that Vince isn't a charity. Wrestlers are independent contractors, and the WWE is responsible for acting in the best interest of the shareholders.
Curt Hawkins was why many watched WWE.., apparently.
Drake Maverick is the next Rey Mysterio... allegedly.
If No Way Jose isn't resigned, we'll riot... many suggest.
Incorrect, an independent contractor can work wherever they want and for whomever they want. WWE wrestlers can't wrestle for anyone else.
Also, if Vince was truly looking out for the shareholders the last 15 years or so say otherwise and why sign people for a year?
Vince ruined the WCW and ECW wrestlers coming in. Seth Rollins is boring, heels are not heels, tag team is meh, no high flying, kayfabe is non_existent. Shane told Vince to buy UFC and nope. So it's a cute excuse but not a reality
All of those wrestlers need to sue Vince McMahon over this. The fact that WWE is still running events only helps these wrestlers in court. He could have kept them and used them. Oliver Luck is suing Vince too. He needs to be accountable for his greedy actions. Enough is enough for Vince's ego and greed.
Everyone at WWE has health insurance except the people who actually put their bodies on the line night in and night out (The wrestlers) its purposterous.
To promoters, 99% of all the wrestlers who ever existed are disposable objects. I highly recommend any of you who may be contemplating becoming a professional wrestler not to do it. I’m a lifelong fan, but boy they get used up and thrown away at crazy ages now because the style has become so high risk.
Same garbage contacts the UFC uses that the fighters always complain about.
WWE contracts benefit the WWE, not the wrestler signing it. If i were either of those two and I was that unhappy, I wouldn't have signed anything without guaranteed money.
I feel bad but Gallows and Anderson made 288k in 4 months. They will be fine and they will have a job somewhere. No way will probably need to get a 9-5
they are going to Japan soon, they said
Why always the comments on trump? Can’t you just talk about wrestling.
If they are not employees, does Titan Sports avoid paying payroll taxes?
He made people shut down their wrestling schools etc and then fired them during these uncertain times, how can anyone support this guy like seriously. The biggest wrestling promotion in the world is by the far the greediest and shadiestC and the contracts are a joke
I can understand why G.o.D won't fuck with WWE they'll outshine a lot of talent and Vince would want their character's changed
I gotta say... Cornette not knowing who No Way Jose is not a slight to Jose... its a wrestling expert and pundit admitting that they're not up to date on the content and talent, that they're make a living commenting on.
He was brought up from NXT and regularly putting his time in, on Raw.
Also isn't it kinda of a back hand to keep saying "Who is this guy? nobody!" right after he's fired, during a pandemic?
Jose got the Funkasaurus and Rosebud treatment.
Am I the only person sitting here thinking a whole host of businesses are run that way. Banking being a prime example
They signed them to those ridiculous contract last summer in order to entice AJ Styles to stay.
A bit surreal hear Jim talking about not honoring contracts considering the dozens of stories I hear of Jim wanting to quit or out right quitting when working with Russo.
This was good except for Jims TDS rant...what a snowflake...he is exactly correct that the indepent contractor thing is bs, i ran through the same crap in my many years of working in IT.
Vince needs to recover that XFL money again.
This time the XFL failing wasn't actually his fault.
@@dexenationgracey1979 he went back for another kick in the nuts by the NFL. It was doomed to fail regardless. The man wanted that failure back and doubled down instead.
@@jamescourt5201 Well, the XFL was actually getting pretty strong reviews and had potential before shit hit the fan. Would it have failed eventually anyway? Maybe, but it never really had a chance.
