achillesforever6 posted:Vice article on the business of the WWE Whole article is loving incredible quote:"Outside people will get killed unless they totally conform to what Vince wants—it's impossible to do that," said one former senior-level executive. "Vince, Paul, and Stephanie will blame everyone else for their own missteps. That's why no creative executive can last there. You are treated like a commodity—just a barrel of corn. You are only a piece of talent, cultivated and developed, until they need to blame you and fire you and bring someone else in. They like the appearance of hiring people from outside the wrestling industry, but it in the end it's still Vince making all the decisions." quote:But, on July 28, three and a half months after WrestleMania 32, WWE released its quarterly report—a mandatory, all-encompassing document that lets the Security Exchange Commission, shareholders, and the public know how the company is functioning, both logistically and financially. An analysis of the report shows that WrestleMania 32 attendance was not, in fact, the 101,763 figure that WWE had been throwing around. It wasn't even in the six figures. According to the documents, the actual paid live attendance for the event was between 74,000 and 86,000. "As long as they don't lie about the financials, they aren't committing fraud," said Chris Harrington, an independent WWE business analyst.

VJeff posted:Sounds like it. If this and the Hojo and Shirai things pan out then maybe WWE and NXT's women's divisions won't be quite so loving dire anymore. Depending on when/if they get called up from NXT and how much of their talents/charisma transfers over to the general NXT/WWE audience.

RacistGuidingLight posted:Lmao, at everything, but also the Million Little Pieces guy. It makes perfect sense, given that Full Fathom Five is basically the WWE of books labor-wise. quote:It’s an agreement that says, “You’re going to write for me. I’m going to own it. I may or may not give you credit. If there is more than one book in the series, you are on the hook to write those too, for the exact same terms, but I don’t have to use you. In exchange for this, I’m going to pay you 40 percent of some amount you can’t verify — there’s no audit provision — and after the deduction of a whole bunch of expenses.” He described it as a Hollywood-style work-for-hire contract grafted onto the publishing industry—“although Hollywood writers in a work-for-hire contract are usually paid more than $250.” Lumbermouth fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Dec 9, 2016 |

flashy_mcflash posted:Seriously, what. It's random on the level of Freddie Prinze. At least Prinze came from a writing for TV background, he wrote for his own sitcom and a syndicated pseudo Marvel show called Mutant X. Plus he's an actual fan of the business. I don't know if Frey is or not, but his claim to fame was writing a bullshit book that fooled Oprah. And if Dr.Oz's shill rear end is any indication, that is not a difficult task. Honestly I can't see myself rooting for either side. HHH has a soft spot for NXT kids, many of whom are indy favorites of mine. Wonderful. But he, just like Vince, seems to get rattled when crowds let him know that whatever he has planned long-term is crap, or that they like somebody else who was intended to be a mid-carder at most. Stephanie seems to be just as bullish as her dad when it comes to getting what she wants. Shane's side is no better. I don't like Kevin Dunn. I think his instincts are crap when it comes to wrestling, and from what many seem to attribute to him, he isn't even a particularly good TV producer. I don't remember many details of the ideas that Shane put forth when he initially wanted a shot at being on creative, but didn't he book his feud with Kane? Ugh. Good for a couple chuckles, I suppose. And I addressed Frey already. I feel like HHH/Stephanie is slightly better because at least HHH seems to have a genuine passion for wrestling and some ideas of what talents will work and what talents will not. Shane is a ballsy motherfucker in the ring but I feel like he'd a bad captain to steer the boat for WWE.
