lol what the gently caress Is that Cena's voice pitched down slightly or just some guy because the way he speaks actually sounds like Cena and it's weird

How many very public murders and admissions of guilt for said murders does it take for your PG company to go "eh we should probably create some distance" So far the number is above 1 so lets see how high it goes Orange Carlisle fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Oct 12, 2018 |

Looking forward to seeing what Bryan Fuller can do with that budget on season 2 (of many) of American Gods I just finished the first season after sleeping on it for too long and goddamn Saw recently that the Deadwood movie finally started filming and I hope it does well so long after the show ended because Ian Mcshane deserves way more praise than he gets

rovert posted:Can't say much without betraying honest confidences but I will say WWE's ties with Saudi are deeper than what's public. If a real reporter looks really into things it could be really damning. I believe you because they'd be backpedaling already if deeper things weren't involved especially being a PG family friendly company in bed with people that just got caught doing some really gross poo poo "Monitoring the situation" or whatever they said is damning in itself when Virgin Group put a 1 billion dollar deal on hold to save face for the moment. You know that agreement is going to be unpaused at some point but it definitely shows WWE should be in damage control mode and not "wait and see how bad it gets" mode.

Have to imagine there are many journalists trying to crack that story open right now - it'd be a pretty big one now that kidnap, torture and murder are involved I'm sure there are lots of things being swept up behind the scenes to prevent that

Sydney Bottocks posted:No offense but it's a bit rich to storm in here and tell people you're sitting on a blockbuster news story from a confidential source that would surely spell the end of WWE if word got out about just how deep they are with the KSA, and then when people provide safe ways to help said source get said word out to the mainstream press, you tell them to "calm down". I don't normally get involved in rovert arguments but he didn't really do any of that - just simply hinted that there might possibly be deeper things going on which I'm sure we all figured there was anyway being that a 10 year hundred million dollar deal usually isn't just a handshake

VJeff posted:I really hope those wrestlers are doing some soul-searching right now. sexpig by night posted:yea it feels like we make a lot of jokes about wrestlers being a part of a lovely brand like WWE acts like but this is probably something that should be a genuine line. Like at least before with doing a Saudi show the company line was 'look MBS is promising to be a reformer and we're trying to help open things up between our countries with entertainment' but...I mean it was bullshit before but this is just insane levels of 'this guy's an evil piece of poo poo'. It's easy for us to sit back and say things like that though given that we're not wrestlers and WWE is the only company that will pay most of that roster enough to make a living doing what they do. Most of them just aren't good enough to be an AJ Styles on the indies and make the money they are making. They have no control over what gross poo poo their employers get into and walking away does sound like a thing to do when you don't have to explain to your family you quit your job over a saudi journalist. I'm sure they are very uncomfortable with all of it and aren't supporting it just by staying employed. Contracts and non competes are also a thing. It's complicated and the wrestlers put up with enough independent contractor poo poo without having to also deal with WWE's political troubles because they make bad business decisions - it's a shame. I'm sure they just want to entertain people and make enough money to retired before they are too broken to do it anymore. Orange Carlisle fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Oct 12, 2018 |
