I hope he cuts another promo talking about cutting out Jericho’s tongue

If this is true and not another Graham tall tale, this seems like something that they do just because they can. They have pretty much his entire career in footage and know full well he’ll be praising them whilst paying him a solid amount.
Like, who else is going to do that for him? Impact? GCW? Maybe NWA at a stretch but that’d be it.

Eh, the dude is 78 and his body is likely destroyed from a lot of things but wrestling is one of them. I'll never bemoan someone who gave their body for the sport getting some extra money to live on at the end of their life, even if they're not the best person.

Is a nostalgia contact a demotion from a legends contract?

They rely on the past to garner interest in their product. A Mean Street Posse return would mark a new boom period. We have had too many of the same old guys. Bring on some more obscure and less obvious returns like Steve Blackman

It'd be f***ing hilarious if he's lying.

Honestly it could be to help Billy pay for his treatments. He honestly doesn't deserve it. Isn't he in dire straits healthwise? He claimed he had 2 years to live about 12 years ago because of liver damage, but apparently more modern medicine has improved that significantly.

I think Vince wants one last time for Billy to be in good graces with WWE. If he waits too long, it will be too long. I think he should leave Billy alone and let him wallow in his own angry mess but I get why he feels a need to have him get one last good sendoff over the next few years.

Oh I was thinking he announced that more like 20 some years ago.

I saw someone mention this in the Toni thread, and thought they were just using an exaggyexample or something that Vince would do. But nope he really is hellbent in his pursuit of asinine ineptitude:

But nope he really is hellbent in his pursuit of asinine ineptitude: I’m gonna combine the rumours of WWE wanting to sell with the earlier mentioned “getting him to shut up” as the real reason for this.

they're basically paying him to shut up for 5 years This has made me think the rumours of a sale are more likely. Get those who are likely to bad mouth you on side to reduce negative press.

I mean, it's Graham, you can tell when he's lying when you see his lips move.
On the other hand, wouldn't surprise me if Vince did do it. It'd surprise me even less is Mr. "Things Are Tight, Pal, Sorry" threw him a decent chunk of money.

I am gonna ask the question that will no doubt only be asked by me. Why? Oh and what the hell is a nostalgia contract? is it made from cocaine and the blood of an 80s child? So that's where my blood went🤔

WWE is beginning its slow transition into a local indy fed where they advertise "WWF Stars of the past" Only WWE gets to use footage and music.
Live this Monday on raw Demolition return to face Tatanka and Doink with special time keeper Lex Luger
