I wonder if refs are paid per match or how complicated their part in the match affects pay-grade. A bump in pay for a bump in-ring.

What I'm saying here is I want to talk to Little Naitch for hours.

Austin put over the refs pretty hard in his commentary on the WM17 match. Basically he said that the refs are responsible for directing traffic, making sure the spots are in the right camera places, and reminding the wrestlers how much time they have. There is way more to being a wrestling ref than just counting the pin.

There's also counting to five. Daniel Bryan supervises that part.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if Brock straight up tells Vince he's going to UFC to negotiate a contract while contracted to WWE, couldn't Vince just say "have fun and see you in court"?

It would be contract tampering but for some reason wrestling companies are really slow to go after that.

Wouldn't they be a little more zealous just because it is Brock? Or would that make them less likely to pursue it?

Hearing how different his contract is than others, I wouldn't be surprised if he had an "exclusive" and "open" negotiating window in it.

I doubt it since Dana says he won't talk to Brock until his WWE deal is up. Obviously that doesn't mean he has no contact with Brock or no idea what Brock wants, but if Brock's contract allowed it he wouldn't have to say he can't talk to him.

flashy_mcflash posted:

I have no idea, their history (and potential future) with Brock is so complex that I don't even think there's an indication of what they'd do.

It should be noted that the last time Brock and WWE had a reported falling out Brock showed up at the next UFC show. Brock knows two negotiating tactics.

They'd have to have some kind of proof they were negotiating while he was there, otherwise they'd have set a poor precedent not going after Punk or Taker just for going to UFC shows.

I agree, which is why him telling Vince straight up that he's going there to negotiate is a big red flag in that story to me. Maybe it's not so far-fetched though, but metsfan.txt
