I’m starting to realize that most wrestling fans these days are starting to become nostalgia marks. That’s why it’s almost impossible for new stars to be built up.

Yes and no, I think both fans and Booker got those lenses on BUT it's really on booking to give the prospects the jet pack, cuz fans have tried numerous times (ie. Rusev, Ryder) along with Vince being old with a short attention span

i think you mean wwe fans, and it's not really their fault. wwe is pretty consistent with their message that the current stars aren't as good as the old ones. Originally Posted by MacrossPlus

Scum bag WWE at it again. The company wants to take over talents twitch accounts. Failure to comply would result in fines, suspensions or termination. Oh, twitch earning will be taken from their downside guarantee

Fuck this company

Meh. I'll say what I said when this issue came up last time. If these WWE strars are on twicth making money by essentially being their WWE character on there then WWE should get some of the money they make. Originally Posted by Immortal Weapon

Most of the time they aren't in character, and not even using their ring names. UUDD and Asuka deliberately use other names on their channels. Originally Posted by SpiderTBliss

So Chris Jericho was on the StuGotz show today on ESPN. He was the guest picking the winner of NFL games. He was talking about his very first match 30 years ago. He said during the interview, he keeps handwritten journal of every match he has ever had. Crazy. His first match was before 130 fans. The promoter at the time wanted him to have a Cowboy persona. Cowboy Chris Jericho was going to be his name. LOL

So apparently Roman's having a rematch with Jey, and I think it's a match inside the cell

For people who are legally independent contractors the company expect them to be employees. Taking control of their additional revenue stream is bullshit. They are not entitled to it. Originally Posted by marshal88

"That percentage will go against their downside guarantee."
This is the most sh***y part imo. Because it essentially means that the talent isn't making any extra money in the end.
WWE doing this when they're making record profits and in the middle of a pandemic where making some extra money is even more important, just makes them look extra greedy and callous.

Wouldn't go that far as to say they were naustalgic for Karl and George... but I'll wager many of the long time adult fans at the time would have marked out for Bruno. Originally Posted by BigLbo
