I wonder if a, "locker room leader" like Roman would ever go to bat for his coworkers to Vince, especially in light of his best buddy leaving for probably the same reasons a lot of people are pissed about currently

Vaguido posted:I just wanna say I'm proud of Darkstar for taking a break from wailing about japanese female wrestlers not getting the exact push he desires so that he can take shots at a black athlete for pointing out the massive number of issues WWE has as an employer because he overspent on a (shared) rental for a single kayfabe tweet and annoyed some older wrestlers. Sometimes you need to spread your posting gimmick to new areas, and I'm glad you're breaking out of your shell. Race has nothing to do with my comments. I would be saying the same thing if it were Gulak, Hawkins, Ryder, or any other star as well. Speaking of Lio, PWInsider posted an update on the story today: quote:WWE Raw star Lio Rush has become one of the most talked about personalities in the business with numerous reports in recent weeks about heat behind the scenes and issues within the company. https://www.pwinsider.com/article/1...d-more.html?p=1

"My locker room is unhappy, and as the leader, I should do something to change this." Granted he could just as easily have that thought and follow it with, "I need to tell them to man up" or, "I'll bring in ice cream for everyone!"

They can claim it's about respect and paying dues but as others have said, there's no guarantee you'll even be respected or utilized once you paid said dues. Ask Luke Harper, CM Punk, and Neville how they feel about doing favors and following the rules until it mindfucks you

No one at the WWE level should be the errand boy. Training on the indies, going to a wrestling school, setting up the ring in a bingo hall, that's paying your dues. If you're on WWE tv you've made it. You're way beyond paying your dues and this is dumb ego flexing.

In the NHL, teams are booking entire hotel blocks for players, along with team-owned planes chartering everyone around. Under the last collective bargaining agreement, players are now able to have their own hotel room for every night on the road, no more roommates. NFL, MLB, NBA also all do travel arrangements by each team.

Wait, hold on a sec, was it 300 per year or 300 total? Because the latter comes out to fuckin' 60k a year.

Teams owning their own plane is rare now because the costs are often higher than just having a deal with a charter service for the season. I know AsInHowe means the Red Wings, so since the Illitch family also owns the Tigers they share the plane. But whatever the case it's the team paying, of course.

NHL players even get a per diem for away games. But of course, they have a union. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 20:49 on May 2, 2019 |

NBA player road per diem is $133 which is just about enough to rent a fancy rent car like Darkstar was screeching about. but they don't have to!!!

projecthalaxy posted:NBA player road per diem is $133 which is just about enough to rent a fancy rent car like Darkstar was screeching about. NBA players also make enough so that even if they had to pay for meals and travel themselves, it'd be less of a hassle. The NBA minimum salary for a full year deal is 582,180 per year, a full 200K more than Lio is getting. And that's if you're a rookie who signs out of college without being drafted! Most 1st round picks get somewhere between 2-5 million /yr for their first deal. Plus, teams can't do that "you were injured for 6 months, so that's time you owe us" poo poo that WWE pulls. Also, I'm fairly sure if say, New Orleans tried to take some of Anthony Davis's endorsement money like WWE did with Lio's catchphrased merch, Davis would sue their rear end off and win. I should note that I'm pretty pleased about this, this isn't some "athletes are spoiled" nonsense. That kind of logic cost my grandpa a shot at making an MLB team. St.Louis invited him for a tryout, but he had to make his own way and couldn't afford a plane or train ticket. Nowadays I'm pretty sure if a team wants to take a look at you, they send you a ticket.
