WWE taking over wrestlers’ Twitch accounts and getting a cut of their money
- Thread starter RBH
- Start date
The second they announced hogan was back in the hall of fame I canceled my subscription and never looked back.
The sad thing is, most fans won't do the same so nothing will change.
This seems to be aimed at Wrestlers specifically but, who the fuck knows with Vince.
It's not helpful to blame the people being taken advantage of regardless of what their options are or were. Should they unionize? Yes. Is it practically impossible under Vince McMahon? Also yes.
WWE continues to be a shit company. Guess we can add stealing money to the list which includes pushing an alleged child predator, covering up murders, and covering up rape as well.
Stop. Supporting. WWE. Programming.

I just listened to a Lapsed Fan bit where they said Vince was going to do exactly that. Good shit pal.
What a fucking garbage company
What a fucking garbage company
WWE's deal with USA and FOX is based on them producing live shows, imagine if the roster walked out together, WWE would get fucked breaking those contracts unless they replaced the entire roster with indie workers which they wouldn't do
Again, at this point, without a union Vince will keep doing this shit
they wont strike, ever. You wont ever get the top/main event wrestlers to go along.
I'd just give like 70% effort in every angle i was put in and hope i got my walking papers.

Yep. Unionising is super easy in the US. They'll get right on it on their next smoke break.
If the roster didn't view Vince as a god instead of a boss, WWE would've have a Union decades ago
of course they can, they're independent contractors. But that also means they have to have the balls to fight it, that's not happening
Unionising won't be easy with half the roster being extreme right-wing QAnon loons, but the fact that there is a strong, viable, financially secure North American alternative for the first time in decades does give the wrestlers a huge bargaining chip they didn't have before. The problem is though, despite all the shit that's heaped on them, there still doesn't appear to be anyone willing to stick their neck out.

Glad I stopped watching when I felt like they were mocking BLM with their "riot" group or whatever. fuck them, i hope everyone leaves.
Sucks for people who follow them as well, because if you're supporting them because you like them and it's outside the WWE machine, and now it's part of it and your money is going to them again 🙄
They're not just losing money person subscriber and donation, they'll also lose people on the whole who don't want to give WWE their money

AEW isn't going to just scoop up every disgruntled WWE talent. Yes there is a competition but the amount of space is only so big.
I'm hoping this forced a contract renegotiation because I'm sure WWE never had anything that covered this but I know that wish will be unfulfilled.
I can see a lot of wrestlers wanting to unionize only for Vince asskissers like Seth Rollins or Nia Jax immediately notifying Vince, and they'll either be fired or booked in another dancing gimmick/jobber if Vince just wants to keep them from going to the competition.
I think so. I feel like I remember something happen to Steve Austin and he legally changed his name to get around it
The phrasing was dubiousness but there was a time when all references to hogan, including the hall of fame, were removed.
WWE even used the word "reinstated" when he suprised came back in 2018.
I remember this very well cause I seriously went cold turkey on WWE. Great talent, terrible company. Morally evil.

A "suspension" they never mentioned until the time they claimed it was over and has never been mentioned as a thing that could happen before or since. It was made up to pretend they'd punished him when they thought it had been long enough and wanted to bring him back for those Saudi blood money shows.The phrasing was dubiousness but there was a time when all references to hogan, including the hall of fame, were removed.

This is entirely in line with what I expect that company to do, but nevertheless it's greedy and unjustified. They are allergic to success outwith their walled garden.
No shit. I'm obviously not suggesting every wrestler could quit and join AEW, but there being a viable alternative helps the wrestlers greatly if they're ever in a position to negotiate a CBA.
I don't remember what the reasoning was for it but he was talking about how he was okay with them getting a cut of his money. The Rock had a similar interview where he talked about buying his name back from them or something so he didn't have to give them shit from his movies.
They've been doing shit like this for years and they keep pushing and pushing till eventually they push too far, someone sues them, and they settle because there's nothing they fear more than losing a case and having their shitty contracts under scrutiny.
Ya'll are joking about prima nocta but remember the 90's and early 2000's when he would make Trish Stratus and other women do all kinds of suspect shit? Yeah some of them probably liked flashing the camera but at least one sued them for sexual harassment or whatever and won. I think it was Sable that won against them for that.
Almost every woman on the roster back then was married or dating another wrestler there so him making any of the women do shit with him on camera was very fucked up.

No really, he was fired.
I used to watch WWE, and I told everyone, the second he comes back I'm done with WWE.
He came back and I bailed. And This was really big news. WWE obviously lied because they brought him back.
But this really did happen.
