Rarity posted:Not a problem, the call will go as follows. Vince will claim that company's propsects have been hit by COVID-19 but that overall their business deals are healthy and that they expect to have a regular PPV provider within the next few weeks. The question of talent dismissals and falling TV ratings will be raised but Vince will claim they're not going to discuss that at this time. WWE stock will go up by 5 points as Vince clearly has it all under control. dammit why did i doubt you scoopsgal

And speaking of scoops, guess which just-released worker has gone on record about his dumb WWE name Levis Valenzuela posted:“The name itself, ha. I don’t know how the hell it happened, they were like “what do you think of No Way Jose”, and I was like “no”. I thought it was a catchphrase, and I was like “oh cool”… they saw something in film and somehow it came up… [Matt] Bloom was like “what if you want it as a name?”, and I was like “no way”. Then a writer came up to me and was like “why?”, and I was like “it will pigeon hole me, there is a ceiling”, all the real stuff in terms of business. Nobody goes in there and says they want to be a No Way Jose probably, they want to be, for me it was The Rock when I saw The Rock I wanted to be The Rock… We went into Full Sail and I’m walking in and you shake everyone’s hand and Triple H is right there talking to Eva Marie or someone, I’m like “hey, sir, how you doing?” And he’s like No Way, what’s going on?”. In my head I’m like “s***, is that a thing?” And he goes “got it approved today, what do you think?” And I said “I love it, let’s go”.”

Trump doesn't give a gently caress about area 51. Jesse is our one hope to get the Aliens out of eternal prison and give ourselves over to space gay communism.

I will never understand giving your talent a bad name, bad gimmick or anything else that will literally prevent them from making money for you You invest all that money in their contract, training, etc and then you shoot them in both legs and tell them to run a race

Why the gently caress would we be keeping aliens in an underground prison when we all know that Stargate was a documentary made in real time, and all the aliens are on their own planets?

Mr. Carlisle posted:I will never understand giving your talent a bad name, bad gimmick or anything else that will literally prevent them from making money for you They only want to bestow credibility on guys they see as long-term main eventers for them--everyone else they keep at a middling level at best because they don't want another situation like in the 90s where Hall and Nash went back to WCW and almost sunk WWF with the NWO. People talk about competition being so great for wrestling(and it can be) but really that was just the TV ratings war for Vince. It usually just fuels paranoia like this cause Vince knows he can potentially dig his own grave. Like in the early 00s when Raven wanted this big elaborate storyline about the seven deadly sins like in the movie Seven but for his character and wrestlers. But they were like "ok nice but why not give this to someone who matters". If they don't see you as a main eventer who's gonna stick around you're gonna get popularity-managed.

MassRafTer posted:They compare their decline to USA Network's decline in every report. Yep This time it's particularly bad because without Mr Robot anymore, the company's all USA really has in terms of big things (I love The Purge but...that and its half-mil viewers ain't it), so WWE's significant decline basically singlehandedly brings down USA too with it oh but seriously I posted:So is the video library actually worth jack poo poo? I think it might actually be worth jack poo poo. They wouldn't crawl back to PPV or fire their co-presidents who believed in it if they thought it was their future. If even Mania season can't even prop up the Network anymore, that's pretty much it

If anyone's bored enough in lockdown to listen to/watch the investor call, go here: https://corporate.wwe.com/investors/investor-overview and click on 'webcast' ... you can put literally any details in the form.

Still no followup on the parking lot kidnapping ninjas The fact Dexter Lumis is a babyface is making it easier to believe Nia Jax is one. Unless they're using him to turn TUE face.
