Mr. Squishy posted:I believe the full pitch was that this literal Nazi was going to be revived and managed by Paul Heyman, who is, you know, Jewish. I feel like this would not have dissuaded Vince in the slightest. Also; when people are saying 'You know what a good place to be is? IMPACT." it means that the culture they are accustomed to is irredeemably horrific. You just start feeling like the people in WWE need to be rescued, sometimes from themselves.

And then Heyman did it a few years later with Brock anyway.

I always thought it was implied Heidenreich was a nazi because he was an Aryan Superman with Reich right in is name, even if they didn't explicitly say he was an evil Captain America.

chuck norris is a case where people are more comfortable with his plastic surgery face from the 80s and 90s than what came before. this isn't related to the above post except for inspiring it by talking about chuck norris. i saw the video but don't have a comment about what he looks like now. this post isn't related to that at all, again. please don't make any mistakes if you decide to respond to me. i simply thought about chuck norris due to chuck norris being discussed. he was in wrestling as an enforcer.

Vince MechMahon posted:I always thought it was implied Heidenreich was a nazi because he was an Aryan Superman with Reich right in is name, even if they didn't explicitly say he was an evil Captain America. I'm not saying they couldn't have changed it or he doesn't look like a big German Ubermensch, but I don't think it implies him being a Nazi anymore than I think Bobby Lashley's name is a slavery reference or Britt Baker needs to be making the Dark Order scones. The part of the Unfrozen Nazi Super Soldier bit that people tend to forget is that it was revealed in a story where ex-WWE writer Dan Madigan was telling a story about how he thought it was a hilarious idea to make him Baron Von Bava, an Nazi managed by Paul Heyman and enthusiastically pitched it to the room, acting out the goosestepping and sieg heiling, at which point no one said anything and Vince looked at him with bafflement and disgust and walked out of the room.

Edge & Christian posted:John Heidenreich is his actual birth name and it's part of/the full last name of lots and lots of people who aren't coding themselves as Nazis. Oh I should have clarified. I'm pretty sure he's a nazi cause he's a kraut. E: Serious answer, I figured they changed it cause it sounds like something they would name a nazi and I knew of the original idea.

Heidenreich could have always worked under another name to be rid of any potential baggage in the name. I generally liked him, but the weird mental illness angle was also really bizarre for its time (I remember a vignette of him being in a mental care facility and telling his manager he liked it there), and iirc there was even a kid involved.

I saw this linked on Twitter, but here’s the article: It’s about the NWA and some of the things they’re doing with their contracts, like granting Zicky Dice a release but then taking it back, which I had no idea you could do. And they make pennies on the dollar...not liking the NWA one bit hearing shady poo poo like this. https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/update-on-royce-issacs-nwa-release-money-issues-for-nwa-contracts quote:According to a report provided by Fightful Select, NWA tag team champion Royce Isaacs has requested his release and it was granted. However, Isaacs apparently asked for his release after his previous contract had expired. NWA reportedly could’ve opted to roll over his contract much like what happened earlier this week with former TV champion Zicky Dice. Ultimately, NWA chose not to do that with Isaacs.

Sure you’re getting released *two months later* you work for us now! And you’re on an exclusive contract. You will get a pretty good chunk of change: $8,000 for a year. We’ll need you 2-3 times each month and again, you work for us, not anybody else who may want you. If you do want to work an indie show, let us know first. We have to approve that. I’ll give you $250 up front in good faith of the $8,000 for your commitment and to show you I’m a good boss. Thanks!

At some point don't you need a provision that says 'Ok these are actually lower than starvation wages. I'm going to need to be able to take whatever other bookings I can get otherwise sans pre-approval because otherwise this contract is an active detriment to my well being.'

Ricky Starks said they offered him $12,000 a year to stay right? And I can only assume that would have been a raise. Crazy how little they're paying their talent. Thunder Rosa probably made more than double her NWA salary in one night in AEW.
