Some of the accusations are wild (Shane Haste's crocodile dundee gimmick was leading to him hunting Reggie) how in the hell did Callahan stay on for so long?

So, I know he's just one problem, but why is Ryan Callahan still there?

Do have to say that even ignoring the blatant racism of it, it seems weird as hell that, "We have a Saudi Arabian guy, we're in Saudi Arabia all the time as their government is an important business partner, Saudi Arabia has some pretty shady ties to 9/11 that may indicate complicity, let's do a 9/11 story for a laugh," would be a chain of thought that'd end in the dude keeping his job. Just seems like an excellent way to piss the prince off.

Even knowing how often WWE gimmicks fall into broad, ugly stereotype particularly along racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic lines, it's frankly kinda horrifying to know quite how much worse it can get.

Somewhere in America, Max Caster just got a text that simply reads "NO."

Caster and Tony Khan himself have to be 50% of AEW's media relations gig. I imagine that poor person is just chasing them around with spray bottles to keep them from tweeting and rapping things that cause problems

Idk if it’ll hold up in court (and don’t care, tbh, not my area) but yeah, they did that shit, hahahaha.
Just think about the absurdity that’s gotten through the filter…and just imagine the “Heidenreich is actually a frozen nazi”-esque ideas that were suggested and then nervously laughed off as a joke cuz nobody has the heart to tear into the person.

So my assumption that Vince may have said “GOD DAMN IT GO OUT THERE AND ACT BLACK” may actually be real.

If you cut every racist pitch, out of a WWE creative meeting, they would probably last about 15 minutes.

And being blunt, it’s an entertainment industry problem of thinly veiled racism bleeding into the writing ( which happens when 95% of your writing team look and talk the same way) but goddam, WWE just get egregious with it, lmaooo.

There's only two outcomes that happen from this
1. The Judge dismisses the case 2. Britney Abrahams gets so much money from WWE, she never has to work again.
Honestly, there isn't a zero percent chance of either happening but I see the latter more happening because if there is even a tiny chance the judge lets this go to trial in any way, with more business eyes on WWE than ever with this Endeavor deal, we're talking billions with a B potentially lost here. Especially if anything to do with the Mansoor is true because we're talking about "numbers that dwarf every WrestleMania ever" levels of losses.

My guess is that WWE attempts to settle with her out of court. Just to avoid lengthy litigation on the proverbial eve of their huge buyout.

Sure, but Vince is arrogant enough to think that he can f*** with people that YOU DO NOT F*** WITH.
