We still had a Saudi Blood money show this year and we also still have one on the books (though it probably won't happen...though if it does......................) it;'s just that show feels like a screw up that happened a lifetime ago

It’s a bunch of the women that told Vince to gently caress off and dared him to break their contracts right.

Meltzer's saying that the trigger for this third party ban was Lana doing a Bang Energy Drink advert. Also:

so do the Twitch/Cameo name changes do anything? Does Ember Moon/Alex Bliss changing their service names to their real names actually protect them from having to cancel their side stuff???

No. It's pretty clear from the "statement" that WWE feels like they can cancel third party relationships at any time and would do so if someone dropped a big bag of money on them for the exclusivity to their platform.

This is me. In the past 10 years, I have watched Raw one time. That’s it. But I still read everything and really, I need to stop consuming anything WWE.

It makes me so mad and I’m generally a very happy go lucky person! This just boils my blood to no end. Every single week it’s something new it feels like.

I'm imagining it went like this:

Vince: What's that? Lana made money on a drinks advert without us getting a cut? That's it, no more wrestlers making money without us! All outside deals are banned!
Kevin: How do we even do that?
Vince: I don't care just do it, I'm Vince McMahon dammit!

There's no way the wrestlers back down from this. Especially with an extremely viable competitor to go to. Even then, people might even take their chances on Impact and/or the indies while continuing to earn income from Twitch/Cameo.

Vince is loving insane.

What a loving joke. WWEs greatest assets is their characters? Not the people who play them? Well poo poo, just get some look alike to play these people then. That will go over with the fans well.

I mean, you have a huge problem when the biggest assets to your company can just walk away

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
