There's legit going to be a movie in this franchise where Dom either outraces a space shuttle in a car or holds one back from launching with one arm. And I am going to be sitting in the theater cheering for it along with everybody else. Edit: What I am REALLY waiting for is the inevitable moment the Yakuza/Fast & Furious universes combine and we start getting New Japan wrestlers cameoing as well.

Benne posted:The problem with going to court with WWE isn't whether you'd win the case (you probably could with a good legal team) it's that WWE/McDevitt will drag it out for literal years until you run out of money and give up, or forced to settle for pennies. Brock was the only one financially secure enough (and also didn't give any fucks about "burning bridges") to see it through. Hence Trillionaire Tony's involvement, because that tactic only works when you know that you can outwait and outspend the other side.

RealFoxy posted:Speaking of, a quote from the observer: Eliminating someone from a Rumble has always been flimsy ground to base Wrestlemania feuds on so I'm glad they didn't go with that plan. If their logic was originally "Drew won't need the win after this!" then how in the name of gently caress would you justify giving it to ROMAN instead, a 4 time world champion who's main evented Wrestlemania like 3 times and already won the Rumble once? If anybody ever "didn't need it" then it's Roman! I'm getting worked up over something that didn't even happen because WWE is so insanely stupid that it ALMOST happened and that's enough.

Jerusalem posted:Hey now wait a second that's unfair! The bit about people thinking Vince was really blown up in a limo is untrue, it wasn't the stockholders who thought that. It was the man who is the current sitting President of the United States of America. Oddly enough it also included people from the media. I'm friends with the (current) Wilkes-Barre fire chief and he was telling us stories about the different news stations calling for comment on the explosion and any injuries. They had to keep explaining that nothing blew up here, it was all done on a sound stage somewhere else.

What's the deal with Cena anyway, does he have an active contract that is just suspended because Vince allows him to gently caress off and do movies?

 The super powered cars are fine, the terrible acting is fine, the fact you have a very charismatic John Cena doing a terrible impression of a T-800 is laughably fine, poo poo even using Torgo's Executive Powder to *FILE NOT FOUND* is pants on head stupid but okay. BUT HEAVEN FORBID SOMEONE GOES OVER VIN DIESEL, "UHHHHH UHHH YEAH JOHN CENA IS IN THIS AND HE'S MY OLDER BROTHER THAT ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ME.......................what? What are y'all looking at????" That's some straight up Vince and Hunter insecurity.

https://www.vulture.com/2019/08/fast-and-furious-rock-diesel-fight-contracts.html “According to producers and crew members on the films, Mr. Statham, 51 years old, negotiated an agreement with the studio that limits how badly he can be beaten up on screen,” according to the Journal. “Mr. Diesel, 52, has his younger sister, a producer on the films, police the number of punches he takes. And Mr. Johnson, 47, enlists producers, editors and fight coordinators to help make sure he always gives as good as he gets.”

Big Huski Boi posted:The AAF actually had decent ratings. Again, it primarily failed because their main investor walked away. The whole story is a WHOLE lot funnier when one of the main investors was basically a Bitcoin crook; and basically lost $800 million "dollars" in bitcoin thru all the exchanges he was involved with "getting hacked and losing all their basically" basically  Then he trusted (lol trust in bitcoin) and gave some Panamanian shadow bank $800 million dollars, and they were like "What $800 million dollars?"  https://qz.com/1611214/aaf-football-league-collapse-tied-to-ifinexs-crypto-bank-scandal/ Court filings explain that a company associated with Fowler has failed to return $851 million to a client of Fowler’s shadow bank. That number is precisely how much money is missing from Bitfinex, one of the world’s most prominent cryptocurrency exchanges. So, it appears Fowler has been providing banking services to Bitfinex through his “shadow bank.” Cryptocurrency media also report that Fowler was linked at various points to other major exchanges, including QuadrigaCX, Kraken, Binance, and BitMEX. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggie_Fowler Crypto Capital In April 2019 Fowler's funds were frozen by the Department of Justice, after Fowler's indictment on charges of money laundering for cryptocurrency exchanges.[3] In April 2019 New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a suit accusing cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex of using the reserves of an affiliated company to cover up a loss of $850 million. Bitfinex had been unable to obtain a normal banking relationship, according to the lawsuit, so it deposited over $1 billion with a Panamanian payment processor known as Crypto Capital Corp. No contract was ever signed with Crypto Capital.[4] James alleged that in 2018 Bitfinex knew or suspected that Crypto Capital had absconded with the money, but that their investors were never informed of the loss.[4] Fowler, who is alleged to have connections with Crypto Capital, was indicted on April 30, 2019, for running an unlicensed money transmitting business for cryptocurrency traders. He is believed to have failed to return about $850 million to an unnamed client. Investigators also seized $14,000 in counterfeit currency from his office.[5] Hirez fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Feb 1, 2020 |
