It seems this TKO company is just as corrupt and shit as Vince’s regime.

Thats basically every company.

There’s a lot of bullshit going on in WWE right now.

Cuts - this is a verifiable corporate abuse of power. No company should be this powerful that they can randomly just fire people without any kind of consequence. What the fuck is wrong with the American business sector? This bullshit keeps happening again and again. Completely unethical.
Purchasing AAA - Mexican regulatory boards are a joke for allowing that shit to happen.

And just as petty.

Normal if you’re living in a corrupt third world country or a 1980s neoliberal nightmare. Maybe that’s why WWE Europe never materialized, WWE business culture is just too damn corrupt.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

It's mainly publicly traded companies that are corrupt like that. Find me an existing wrestling company as fucked as WWE is.

You’re right, I can’t think of any company that abuses their position of authority as much as WWE does. They’re basically the EA of the Wrestling industry. They behave somewhat similarly. Only EA’s shitty behaviour is more well known, as they were once voted the worst company in the world.

The US needs way better regulation on its corporations. I’m actually shocked there isn’t open and violent rebellion against such companies. It’s so dehumanizing, and it’s pathetic when people thank WWE for the opportunity. It’s really fucking sad that people actually have to suck corporate cock on the way out, like a bunch of peasants.

Isnt that part in due to the AAA purchase since he was in that promotion.

Anyways, it has to be that otherwise I doubt "Big Nose" Triple H (I think that was the insult Del Rio used when he went on a Anti WWE rant a few years back) would willingly sign him in lol

New contracts. So don't expect Saraya back in WWE lol https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fdave-meltzer-on-x-yes-new-contracts-alberto-has-signed-with-v0-bdyea6kh10ze1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1080%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D783386189bbf9aec7355416092d0b03b9187221a

I would wait for a better source than Meltzer who quite frequently gets things incredibly wrong. Some document would have to be signed between WWE and existing AAA talent. I'm not sure Meltzer or his source would know the difference between a novation and a new contract.

Eh... why shouldn't they be able to? I mean, I was laid off from my last job, and my new company did layoffs yesterday which I survived this time. It was a shitty experience that I don't wish on other people, but I never thought of it as corrupt. 

Bottom line is that if they thought these people were going to help them make money, they wouldn't have fired them. And if they're not going to make them money, I don't know why they should be expected to keep them on. Especially in a business like wrestling where there is a limit to how much time you have to showcase people.

Maybe it's just because I'm desensitized to it as it's the norm here, but I don't see why it is corrupt. The only issue I really have is that WWE can cut people as they please, but talent can't leave when they would like.

These unique venues been awesome on TV. Claudio with the steel gate entrance was awesome. And his Warhammer Purity Seals fit so well here. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1khf4wp/aew_dynamite_spoilers_a_sick_entrance_for_claudio/

Obviously not happening but a Chelsea Green/Toni Storm program would be amazing.



So Blacklash is tonight.
