They've been yanking him around long enough that I'm certain he stayed so he could fund his action figure addiction and get his podcast/YouTube show about it off the ground

Plus one of the few nice things rn about WWE is they'll absolutely pay 6 figure contracts to people sitting at home to prevent them from going elsewhere, Zack is probably doing okay financially while his body is way less beat up then say, The Miz.

No wonder the interviewers just stand and stare into the distance after someone walks away from them. Must be awkward to get out of that insane crouch and walk away yourself.

In this case probably since he's had such a long career making (probably?) decent money but I know a few people who have really nice houses who made great money for years and are now out of jobs and probably going to lose them so don't always assume that. That and one thing many people don't realize when they buy a giant crazy house like The Miz did is that the upkeep every year (taxes, utilities, insurance, etc) is really fuckin expensive.

Also people that are bad with finances are one bad investment away from being broke no matter how many millions

Wrestlers like Matt Hardy are smart (even back in his acting stupid and drug phase) because he set up so many alternative sources of income (Membership to the hardy boys website that apparently did really well that was basically a patreon before that was a thing, dvds they put out themselves of the Hardy show season after season, their own merch etc) so even when Jeff was constantly suspended or fired they still had income coming in.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

The first thing WWE does when hiring somebody is hook them up with a real estate agent. Because somebody with a mortgage payment to worry about is somebody financially dependent on you. So a lot of these guys probably got houses they probably shouldn't have because they were drunk on their new paycheck and their new future at the time. We talk about how WWE doesn't pay their talent relative to what they're worth but 6 figures is 6 figures even if it should be 7 sometimes.

Also none of the women in WWE should buy an expensive house because they could be paired up to work with Nia Jax and at any moment in time their career could come to an abrupt end.

I think it was Wahoo McDaniel who told Nash to buy a house with cash as soon as he could so that "the business wouldn't own you."

According to Zack Ryder, WWE was reaching out to talent with pools in the area to see if they could film the Otis/Rose skit there. Including Zack, who they just fired. They didn’t even ask him directly, they texted Chelsea Green instead. Amazing.

Reminds me of once when my friends went somewhere and didn't invite me, then texted me after to see if they could crash at my house.

I live near the neighborhood where, like, all of the NXT wrestlers (and call-ups) have homes/townhouses/apartments and it's a really overpriced area. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some real estate agent hooking them up or pushing them to live there.

I do remember seeing dudes from like, ~2014/15 era posting pictures living in some shittier apartment complexes that are pretty much for Full Sail students.

Crap, I don't remember the source. It may have come from either the Flair book or the Foley book. But that doesn't sound right. Anyway it's one of those things I have absolutely no reason to doubt because it makes too much goddamn sense.

There was a huge twitter thread a while back about an unnamed "flat management company", which was obviously Valve Software, and one of the tweets was

quote:

Here’s a tip: If you accept a job somewhere and have to relocate, don’t use the real estate agents the company recommends. These agents sometimes have “back channels” to your new employer.
Information about you that would be illegal for your employer to ask or acquire through direct means can be acquired through these back channels.
And then this information can be used to pressure or exploit you.

Another employment tip: Never tell your coworkers or manager that you have a lease, or are locked into anything long term. Leave it ambiguous/private. If they know you’re “locked in” you are opening yourself up to exploitation.
I learned about this from a friend, who got exploited the instant their manager learned they had an expensive long-term lease.


So I wouldn't doubt for an instant that WWE would do it to an even greater degree.
