DarkstarIV posted:Nothing? Just saying that Lio claiming that WWE isn't paying him enough to cover travel expenses probably isn't exactly truthful considering he's been caught lying in the past, has a really bad reputation on the indies (to the point of where he burned a lot of bridges), almost got fired several times in WWE (Regal and Lashley saved his job), etc. Your original source here is a kayfabe rental car in a tweet

DarkstarIV posted:Yeah, and it also ties into what Mark Henry has hinted at in his Busted Open interview where he heavily implies that Lio is not responsible with his money. And it also ties into the Fightful report that Lio is angling for a reality show, probably to make more money. The rental car is being used as an example of him not being responsible with his money. He could use an economy level car like most talents, but instead opts to go for the designer/high end stuff. Big Coffin Hunter fucked around with this message at 17:53 on May 2, 2019 |

Gumball Gumption posted:I don't think Lio is losing all of his money on travel and is probably exaggerating for sympathy. I do think Lio is spending a significant amount of his money on travel because that's standard WWE operating procedure. Trying to paint it as him not being responsible enough with his money on his work mandated business trips is a really bad idea. maybe he should be fiscally responsible and sleep in his car and not buy that coffee

When AEW announces their TV deal with Mox and/or Punk WWE are as hosed as a monopoly in an unfettered capitalist system can be, which isn't much but still pretty bad

The funny thing about late stage capitalism is that it can't even provide the fun treats we were promised in order to coax us into accepting this dehumanizing system. No wonder Avergers is so big, at least the MCU delivers what it promises with its escapism

AsInHowe posted:In the NHL, teams are booking entire hotel blocks for players, along with team-owned planes chartering everyone around. Under the last collective bargaining agreement, players are now able to have their own hotel room for every night on the road, no more roommates. stupid strinking players unions, don't they make enough money I just want to watch the game

Aphrodite posted:Teams owning their own plane is rare now because the costs are often higher than just having a deal with a charter service for the season. I know AsInHowe means the Red Wings, so since the Illitch family also owns the Tigers they share the plane. So the team pays for the flights? Wow such a huge difference to the final point of travel for the players

Sanguinia posted:Mick has always been carney as gently caress. People just overlook it because he's also an artist and also made sacrifices that are borderline unparalleled for that art and has on occasion said things that are disapproving of the carney mindset in wrestling (while still fully immersing himself in that mindset and never really taking any definitive action against it.) yeah, there's a reason I also self identify with Foley, Bryan, and Punk no human is perfect but we all try to root for those we can understand. You can judge Jericho for counting down the seconds until he could get a drink in a lovely situation dealing with the KSA but... like I've been there and using Alcoholic as an insult isn't cool imo Big Coffin Hunter fucked around with this message at 04:45 on May 4, 2019 |

By extension the fan base is a also stupid as hell, inconsiderate, a general drain on mankind that should not exist. Us included, boy just how much the world would be better off.
