[Dub H]

The thing about Real Name being owned by WWE should probably piss of Xavier,I remember him talking a lot about using it to build his own brand outside of wrestling

One would WWE would like seeing their talent on popular platforms spreading brand awareness via that. Creed's work with UpUpDownDown has introduced more non fans to wrestling than any of WWE's PR efforts in the last 15 years have.

If someone sat Vince down and genuinely explained the geek culture appeal pro wrestling has and how much they could use that to build up a stronger audience, Vince would call up the scrawniest dude in NXT, give him a comic book reader gimmick, and then have every face in the company roast him for living in his mom's basement for an entire episode of Raw until he was sure that that geek culture appeal was dead and in the ground.

[Fake Jesus]

In one fell swoop McMahon is going to alienate such a big chunk of his roster that this will come back to haunt him in ways he's too f***ing stupid to understand. Why you willingly want to work for a deranged old rapist I can get because he owns the biggest company, but if he's literally destroying your hobbies and social life in bellicose terms like these I can't imagine wanting to stick around

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I just don't see how legally any of this holds up, and the very idea of even trying to enforce it has to be the breaking point for some wrestlers who have taken bullshit and still stuck with the company.

Like seriously this is the exact opposite of trying to make your wrestlers feel comfortable in your work environment. Vince is gonna find that out real f***ing fast, and will probably be shocked that something like trying to ban Video Game Streaming is gonna burn bridges with him and certain wrestlers, because he does not understand how current wrestlers work, because he's stuck in the f***ing 80's.

Alvarez just confirmed it as well. Seems like this is very legit unfortunately.

Aka Ember Moon.

They had her playing her nintendo switch in segments and Mandy and Sonya would always go at her for being a "nerd" etc and that she wasn't was good looking as Mandy.

And if memory serves correctly Ember never won that feud so yep Vince would just take it to obsurd on trying to shame nerd culture for not spending everyday in a gym and not having Gary Strydom as their idol.

I'm really not buying this report at all

I mean, out of all the confirmed crazy crap Vince has done, this doesn't seem plausible?

[One of the Cooler, Candid TOKs]

Is Vince trying to completely destroy the "independent contractor" model over Labor Day weekend on purpose, or is he really just that maniacal

"Shit, I need to write an article with at least 100 words. I'll just copy paste the first few lines and repeat it til the end. No one will notice."

Don't attack me like that!

[ayumidah]

If it is Vince doing this because he doesn't want them making outside money on their likenesses, you have to feel really bad for the ones like Dakota who takes whatever is donated to her streams and gives them to various charity works.

Is this real? Because this seems too totalitarian even for Vince.

If VKM had his way, he'd probably outlaw his 'assets' from saying "Hello" to a supermarket cashier...

Suck a lemon, you old coot. Kayfabe died in 1987.

Would love a mass walkout if the 'boss' of hundreds of independent contractors forces them to give up off-the-clock hobbies and self-employed ventures in the interest of 'the brand'.

As the Social Media Manager of a community radio station, I see our deejays post some of the spiciest political takes regularly and only shake my head instead of trying to stifle their voice and expressions.

Cannot wait for the blowout and statements from the big stakeholders like Austin Creed and AJ Styles.

Austin Creed isn't his real name or his in ring name though so I'm not sure what rights WWE have to that.

Kofi just started his own Cameos too so all 3 New Day members are being hit by this. Given the large amount of gamers in the company and their interactions with each other I'm sure New Day themselves will step up to Vince especially given they've done so in the past regarding everything they do. Just stupid on Vince's part again.

I regularly watch UUDD's videos, listen to New Day's podcast weekly and I'm engaged in the activities of numerous stars. This is silly. I mean I guess that's no more Austin and Joe messing with GiantBomb.

We'll see what happens. Won't last long as every other WWE superstar has a gaming Twitch these days.

I usually let Vinny's shit slide but this is just awful! 

[Final Countdown Jones]

The funniest thing is the claim WWE is in a phase of growth.

[jhbboy198917]

Liv Morgan launched her own YouTube channel yesterday

[thegatewaydrug]

2020 Vince would probably try to stop 2003 The Rock from going to Hollywood.

[Deleted]

I feel like if Vince thought he could get away with it he'd insist on taking ownership of the firstborn of everyone on the roster to start their training immediately.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

You know I spend a lot of my time on this forum arguing for empathy because I can sometimes see why particular workers would have certain worldviews.

I can see why anybody would, say, sign with WWE now.

I also understand a lot of talents actually have their real fun wrestling on house shows anyway.

But my God. How can you possibly think WWE is in any way looking after your best interests when they keep doing things like this to demonstrate that they are the fun crusher?

Don't you dare get over on your own! Except we won't push you unless you get over on your own! But then we'll bury you! Also don't even get over in a medium that we are not actually a competitor in, it makes us look bad! Nobody really likes Rusev, that filthy Russian!
