A lot of talent are currently on social media gloating about being right about David Starr all along, so the attention is temporarily off

Good thing about how frequently WWE has hosed up this year is by the end of Friday the attention will be back on them for being terrible too

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Uh, that's not what the statement says. They did 500 tests recently. There were 2 positives.

Also, they have done a bunch of testing since March, and out of ALL the tests, 132 staff were positive.

Ah okay, this is still above the target average but is more reasonable.

Resign vs re-sign is another one that trips people up. Which did you mean? Because depending on your answer, the answer will be all of them or none of them.

goons not understanding over/under is one of the longest running jokes on these alive pansexual forums.

I have no idea why but it makes me giggle like a 5 year old. Same with the "is a hotdog a sandwich?", pineapple on pizza (which is gross) and yes/no to beans in chili (which I didn't know was a thing until this thread like a few months ago).

Those developmental guys will bring their brown bag sammiches, eat them in outside tents and LIKE IT!
I mean they could 1) quit wrestling 2) work outside the US and laugh at the threats of lawsuits or 3) have enough money to tell the WWE to gently caress itself. Its the US and those contracts are rubbish but you gotta have money and the wherewithall to sit in court long enough for them to negotiate a settlement. Most of the time wrestlers aren't rich and so don't fight it. If you can't spend the money and time to sit in a court the WWE can outlast you and gently caress you more as :911: Murrica :911: . I'm mainly talking about if they aren't getting paid. If you got paid for a "job" then you got to prove grounds for not completing the job. Safety is a factor but you can prove the company breached their own contract (or the ethics of the contract) in a variety of ways that make you unable to complete the "job". I know this as a contractor of sorts myself and a few others I was contracted with. Non Americans had almost no worries at all but the American contractors had to fight a bit. Most of them just fought it long enough that the settlement reached was agreeable but that meant they still paid a lawyer. Main thing making that last as long as it did was that the guy owning the company was a dick and was willing to spend money just to be a dick. Vince McMahon has even more spite and less reason.

I am not a lawyer but it seems like unsafe environment (laughable covid tests, Saudi kidnappings, dodgy safety measures and proven injuries/deaths due to negligence) plus anything racial might give the person wanting to leave some leverage but you got to break the WWE mental programming.

She let her contract run out, and her last match was a Battle Royal. She didn't get eliminated, just rolled out under the bottom rope and walked to the back. She said later that she knew that the company wouldn't notice till later anyway, and that even if they did who gives a poo poo because she was done anyway and they had no power over her anymore.

Gail Kim owns.

Gail Kim wrestled either a decade too soon. (Or too late) apologies for my editting. gently caress WWE for having a wrestler of her calibre in 2003 and from focusing on Trish Stratus of all people.

I remember her jumping through the second and top ropes (which is how the women had to be eliminated back then). And the announcers were like "Uh, did Gail just eliminate herself?"

e: Nope, just rolled under and walked right off, lmao

Wrestlers not being huge pieces of poo poo is a very very small minority. You can safely assume every wrestler is an awful person and you will be right 99.9% of the time unfortunately.

One of my favourite things about SA is the long running joke about over/under. I know goons know how it works but just keep going with the wrong way for humour. I mean... that's what's happening right?

Over/under on how many goons understand over/under?
irregardless of how you feel about over/under, i think you should re-sign yourself to accepting it as literally being the penultimate form of determining odds in a bet, bi*ch

Apparently Ali is going to be on Raw now (:lol: if this was the future consideration that AJ Styles was traded for) so I assume it's going to just be quietly shelved.
