300 posts in a thread.. with no information.. just speculation and attacks. Yikes.
Woah, sorry to be an ass folks, I genuinely am surprised people are so passionate about wrestling. I really thought it was something people just watched ironically these days. Food for thought.
Brock Lesnar is the most shrewd business man in wrestling today, of COURSE he has one.
the only real information added since the OP is that it sounds like Vince McMahon didn't actually leave after the rest of the talent was stopped, resulting in 2 pages of redundant shitting on him for abandoning them after he found out they were fucked.There is information. Wrestlers weren't allowed to leave the country and it had nothing to do with the plane or weather. What else do people need to know to know this is a shitty situation that an employer should never leave their workers in.
Ah, maybe I wasn't clear.I'm not disagreeing with that. That's exactly what I'm saying -- I'm saying the talent didn't really have a choice in the matter, so saying it serves *them* right feels a bit ass backwards to me. The company itself isn't gonna take much of a hit from this unless the PR optics of it grow to be worse than doing deals with Saudi Arabia already is.
Clearly, I am not a shrewd businessman.This woulnt't be a shrewd asset, unless he owned a private airline.
Most people that fly private charter flights as needed. They don't own the planes
There is a wrestling thread on the front page every fucking day.Woah, sorry to be an ass folks, I genuinely am surprised people are so passionate about wrestling. I really thought it was something people just watched ironically these days. Food for thought.
That's about par for the course for this place.the only real information added since the OP is that it sounds like Vince McMahon didn't actually leave after the rest of the talent was stopped, resulting in 2 pages of redundant shitting on him for abandoning them after he found out they were fucked.
What do you mean the talent doesn't have a choice? Other's have refused to go. Hell, technically, they're not even employees - they're contract workers. They absolutely have choices on the matter.I'm not disagreeing with that.

Only people with actual pull in the company like Cena and Bryan can refuse.What do you mean the talent doesn't have a say? Other's have refused to go.
It was an impulse buy

Hope the talent makes it out okay, fuck WWE for putting them in this situation in the first place.

BIG NEWS!This is absolutely going to end with a Tweet from Trump saying he made a phone call and cleared everything up.
So Vince did in fact stay? Well the dude is fucking crazy but even still I wouldn't think he would abandon them.
I don't think he stayed. The question is did he leave before or after it became aware that a large number of his employees would not be allowed to fly.So Vince did in fact stay? Well the dude is fucking crazy but even still I wouldn't think he would abandon them.
Technically, no.
Daniel Bryan and Kevin Owens are the only ones I believe who refused to go who don't have to worry about not being welcome in Saudi (like Sami Zain, cause of his Syrian heritage) or have a movie career to think about (John Cena).
If I was one of the wrestlers who was left behind while Vince bounced I'd probably ask for my release the moment I get the fuck out of SA.
Yeah it's a tough choice and for a lot of the mid/low card wrestlers that's a WrestleMania level payday right there.Yep... honestly though.. I'm not sure I'd go into a situation like that for my job. Problem is it takes some bravery to just quit your job too (which is scarier, definitely losing your job or possibility of a worse fate in another country but it's not a definite). I really can't blame the wrestlers for making that choice. I'd blame Vince for effectively blackmailing them into it.
Of course John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn can say no.
I imagine no one wants to say too much just in case they get the stranded wrestlers in hot water with either the Saudi government or WWE.
Sami didn't say no. Sami wasn't allowed to go due to his race.
Shit like this is why you don't go to countries with hostile governments. Once you step foot on their soil you are completely bound by their rules. This is the same kinda thing that could've happened to the NBA guys in China.
First reply in this thread nails itPlay stupid games. Win stupid prizes.
Enjoy your blood money, Vince.
