Yeah, I could see him MAYBE working free, since he probably would be making more money on selling merch than his actual appearance fee, anyway, but I doubt he's bankrolling them. I'm sure he's recovered since, but the Digital Homocide lawsuit was very expensive. It's not like Digital Homicide had any money to go after, anyway, so Jim basically had to eat the legal costs.
I think he'd be cautious about throwing an sizable cash behind a project right now, especially since he just relaunched his merch after cutting ties with Shark Robot.

Maybe Jim is the new PWE money mark. He'd need to have quite some disposable income for that. I really don't think he has that much between Youtube, surgery and living in the US. Actually he's supported through patreon donations. Last i saw he's making 13 grand a month

Last i saw he's making 13 grand a month Which I'm pretty sure goes between himself, people collaborating with him (namely Justin), every software and hardware needs for his shows, an editor, his own website and trying to promote his stuff, not to mention the legal fees for his DH case and other potential stuff he might need a lawyer for (which if we watch his stuff over the years... can be quite a lot). And he actually buys the majority of the games he talks about since he's been blacklisted from most Triple A companies, which is still a nice chunk of change at the end of any given month. And on his side, again, surgeries, medication, cost of living in the US, etc. will mean he won't have that much left at the end of the day.

We have been wondering who PWE money mark is now. The old one left around the time Jim joined up. We know PWE is losing money each show. Like a year ago they book Mike Elgin. Drew 100 fans,at 10 a ticket. Figure in cost of the venue and the rest of the roster, they had to be losing money on that show. Then back in March PWE brought in Jeff Cobb. Drew 70 to 80 fans. So lost money on that show. Few years ago hit an PWE show. It drew 20 people. I am betting we made more at our table than they did off tickets.

I think he'd be cautious about throwing an sizable cash behind a project right now, especially since he just relaunched his merch after cutting ties with Shark Robot. Odds are good he is working for free. PWE pays crap. Rookies don't get paid. Non rookies get 25 to 50 bucks. Which is why PWE has huge roster changes all the time. Keep hearing that Jim's wife has money. No clue if that is true. Hear that Jim lives in Brandon MS and it is pretty cheap place to live. As far as Jim selling merch at PIE shows... I doubt more than 8 people in the crowd know who Jim is. That is one of PWE'S issues they book wrestlers that their fans don't know. For example the show with Elgin. And this was a few months before the scandal with Elgin,he sat at his table with no one coming over. Cause the PWE fanbase only watches WWE. But the owner of PWE keeps booking fairly expensive indie names.

Yeah, Jim lives in Missouri, can't rightly say one way or another on his wife, though, I don't really know anything about them.

I do wonder who trained Jim. PWE has a school. But it sucks.

I get Missouri and Mississippi mixed up constantly, so I'll defer to you on this one.

Jim constantly wastes his money on Boglins and Pogs (the Pogs could be written off as a business expense though), I think he’s doing okay

Bethesda has created some of the most enduring power fantasies of our time, and there's a good reason why The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a game that refuses to die.
However, Bethesda isn't known for stable experiences, or welcome decisions, or not screwing up in massive ways.
With Fallout 76 coming out and being rubbish, let's look back at some of the notorious goofs from a company that goofs hard and often. By no means a comprehensive list, but a fun one!

Ubisoft, by way of a PR rep, has defended loot boxes after people found them distasteful in Trials Rising. They hammered through both usual and unusual excuses, and did so in a way that truly offended my senses.
AAA publishers are not just riding this gravy train into oblivion, they're actively lying and insulting our intelligence to justify it. And as problem gambling is on the rise, the game industry needs to start admitting fault... or fault will find them.

Was wondering when Sterling would tackle the shoddy shitshow that is the PS Classic.
