It just hit me that the initials are literally BAP. That's hilarious.
Legally distinct from bathing apes.

Exclusive can mean different things, in this case it's 'nobody will stock our stuff so we have to sell it ourselves'.

Peking around their NFT scam I wanna actually lay out its exact scumminess... Interesting. Seems that's pretty important legally, no pretence of a project that simply failed but clear and deliberate fraud. This article details a similar rug pull that was more successful and the perpetrators took efforts to hide their actions, they were still arrested and are facing up to 20 years in jail. www.businessofbusiness.com/articles/how-the-fbi-made-its-first-nft-rug-pull-bust-just-in-time-to-save-other-victims-from-the-same-fate/I believe Logan Paul is linked to something similar. Many, many others also had something in the pipeline but don't know how far they've got. Paul Wight sounded particularly involved.

It is very impoirtant legally, and that arrest is likely only just going to be the beginning. The problem is, there's a lot of serial fraudsters in the space, so these guys are probably going to be small fish. I guess it also depends though on if these guys did the work themselves, or if they were celebrities latched onto by another serial scammer. That's where the bulk of these celebrity vehicles are coming from. They get up-front money and maybe a cut to basically sell out their audience to a blatant scam, and they just treat it like any other brand deal.

This BullApe Planet dealie really should have been the aesthetic of the company. Who needs whatever "Wrestling Entertainment Series" is when you could have these creepy realistic anthro BullApes running around and smashing into each other while all the ads are like those mobile mafia games but like with creepy realistic anthro BullApes.

It took me a minute after posting to realize oh yes I know who that be. But thank you for follow up

What total f***ing scumbags, wow. It seems like a ballsy move to just lie like that on twitter as a brand new "promotion", because you're selling downriver the very people whose names you traded on for clout in the first place, which means your audience is going to be made up largely of people who have some measure of loyalty and interest in those wrestlers and wanted to see them. Issuing blatant falsehoods like that is a good way to make a jackass of yourself because nobody has a shred of loyalty to your haven't-run-a-show-yet ass. We've seen the power of an established promotion to lie and bully and blacklist one talent, or to drag someone's name through the mud. Those promotions have fans though? This is just sad.

Oh damn I was looking forward to dunking on this show I'm sure there'll be more to come. Maybe not actual shows, but stories and accusations, mostly about money and its lack of pace when moving in certain directions.

Knowing Nia did not wrestle and severely injure CJ made this event a rousing success in my book.

If there's any silver lining SRS said he has followed up with wrestlers that were booked and they confirmed they were still paid
