Wouldn't keeping the name and just moving it void the entire purpose for it existing in the first place and make them look even more stupid

GrimGypsy posted:knowing what I know about Vince after having been watching this poo poo for 3+ decades, I can't really believe he'd change anything about this event (and I can't imagine how they even legally could without eating a huge lawsuit from the saudis?) I feel this way too but too much heat might make him cave from the PG image he loves now It could go either way - we will have to see what happens at this meeting that is supposedly happening tomorrow

Cena has been good in pretty much every movie he's been in - his movie career is going to be just fine. He's a funny charismatic guy who isn't afraid to play any type of part despite his build. Working his way up from WWE movies/smaller parts in real movies to starring parts in real movies was probably a good move for him. He's not going to end up another Rock but there probably isn't ever going to be another one of those. Orange Carlisle fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Oct 13, 2018 |

DeathChicken posted:I would think it could catch up to his movie career that he's making these monthly trips to fly over to the desert and loudly proclaim how cool and good the murdering oil barons are. But this is America and no one gives a poo poo He'd be able to say he was only fulfilling contractual obligations just like WWE probably will and I doubt he supports this nonsense either but he is loyal to Vince and WWE This whole situation is pretty fucky

I was hesitant, but going to a WWE Pay Per View live, let alone one of the big four, is basically the only thing I've never gotten to do as a wrestling fan, and given that my interest in WWE has withered to almost nothing I figured I would let myself have this swan song. Here's hoping the rumors about The Rock competing in the match are true!

If they don't promote it the Saudis are probably going to see it as a slight against them anyway so they're in a no win situation and should just cancel it and take the hit

Low Desert Punk posted:Yeah I mean if multiple wrestlers come out and publicly say "no, we're not doing this bullshit" and they get fired for it, they'll be in even hotter water Imagine only having one thing that you can make life changing money doing because it's probably the only thing you're good at and you've spent your entire life building your skills in it Then imagine going against a direct order from your old vindictive boss who owns the biggest company in your field and then has unlimited resources at his disposal to make sure you never work in that field again outside of maybe a bingo hall he can't reach It's easy to sit here and act like it's a simple decision when you aren't stuck in the situation and are just one of the independent contractors that had nothing to do with the poor business decision in the first place

EugeneJ posted:This is kind of along the same lines of what might happen now if someone refused to go: This is a very different situation though. Wrestlers have been told it's not optional and to not even speak of this on social media and refusing to go would not end in just a stopped push because of the media surrounding the deal, the murder and the Saudi situation making everyone uneasy even before this happened. It's not going to be seen as someone not wanting to go because of the trip it's going to be seen as someone not wanting to go to lead a protest.

Wait there was a Rob Lowe sextape and for some reason Pee Wee Herman had it? I think we're missing the real story here

STAC Goat posted:Lowe's sex tape was like THE sex tape as far as I remember until Tommy Lee cornered the market. That whole pre-internet time period is just so weird to look back to and how like tape trading and seedy friends of friends things worked compared to how easily you can find anything today and there's entire business and brands devoted to distributing stolen pornography. Looked that up and dang: quote:Sex tape Georgia what the hell were you doing? 14? Rob was apparently 24 at the time.

quote:Speaking on the condition of anonymity, multiple members of the WWE talent roster have expressed discomfort with the idea of performing in Saudi Arabia, especially given the nation’s poor record with human rights. I would not want to be part of that roster right now. There is no doubt the mole hunts have already begun.
