WWE: so has anyone got a clear figure of how many
people have been released or furloughed from this company in one way or another
at the time of my previous Volume I was partially unaware meaning, I knew a
small amount wanted to leave but that was about it.
I want to
make something crystal clear before I continue, on one hand it is never good
for someone to lose their job or leave their job unsatisfied. But on the other
hand I am absolutely delighted that the WWE business practice of tying these
performers down to lengthy contracts with lots of money involved with little or
no intention of using them and not forgetting the WWE can extend the time on
these contracts has blown up in their faces basically they have worked under
the theory of if we have these performers no one else can have them [I have to
say it is very childish behaviour] so essentially what it does is take this
performer off the table and is no threat to the WWE if they go and make it big
in another promotion.
I know I
have made reference or references about this before; but I do believe that Mr.
McMahon needs to step down I know, I know he will never do this. But with
everything circling around him be it the WWE or things connected to the WWE
[business dealings in the Middle East] or the legal situations this company
finds themselves in within this company or outside of this company his second
attempt at the XFL which I'm going to be honest and say "Man this was a
stupid move to begin with, even before this global situation happened, I mean
there is an expression of if you don't learn from your mistakes you are doomed
to repeat them, but seriously at his time of life in his early 70's, he must
have woken up one morning and said I know what I will do I will have a second
stab at building my own American Football league."
If you want
something a little bit more up-to-date of why Mr. McMahon should step down; we
have Roman Reigns receiving heat backstage because he withdrew from
WrestleMania 36 even though this company said something to the effect of
"if you don't feel comfortable during this situation you don't have to
show up there will be no heat on you." So via a reliable source online
that over recent times his name is not to be mentioned or there are no clips of
him in Make-A-Wish videos on their own website, this shows that the WWE has
absolutely no class.
Now I have a
massive, massive, massive problem with this character/performer has medically
not one but two bouts of leukemia on his medical record, so as soon as this
global situation became a factor he should have been taken off the WrestleMania
36 card; no discussion I would have pushed him out of the door and told him
"You are off with pay until further notice, you will be doing a live feed
or something on Twitter to give your reactions to every show and pay-per-views
until you return" but it is worthwhile pointing out at this time Sami Zayn
is currently away from this company due to this global situation; so why is it
not okay for one but seems to be okay for another [I am not aiming this at Zayn
but the hierarchy] and did I forget to mention at this point Reigns' wife is
expecting twins so I don't know about you but I would be thinking it is of the
most importants for Reigns to stay at home for himself and his wife.
All Elite Wrestling: we move on to AEW
it looks like this company will be going back to taping soon. I mean in
fairness and balance if I am going to criticize the WWE for doing this I should
criticize this company as well, not to be disrespectful to the wrestling
industry but you are not essential services yes I am very much aware that the
WWE and AEW are not breaking any rules because they are deemed as essential
services, but I want to make this really transparent they are not an essential
services, so I really like what AEW are doing but for the final time in this
blog they are not an essential service, apologies for repeating myself there a
bit; I just want to to reinforce that even when AEW do something questionable I
will bring it up, I say questionable because as I have already said where they
are; they are not doing anything wrong, I am in no doubt that they will take
every precaution they can to protect everyone involved, but I am of the mind
set why would you want to put yourself at risk from this global situation if you
don't have to.
I mean until
the Lockdown has been lifted they could have done two interviews with two
wrestlers or on screen characters such as Jake "The Snake" Roberts
[this would be entertaining that is for sure to have one of the best talkers in
the world of professional wrestling in an interview] roughly 40 minutes each
[roughly 20 minutes of advertisements] with two different interviewers for a
short time over the computer, mixed in with footage from their time so far in
this company just so that people stay at home longer, I mean I wouldn't have
minded that for a little while for a few episodes I mean if it gets people to
stay at home I am up for that, I know the next thing I'm going to say will
probably rub some people up the wrong way but if the TV ratings go down,
because of this; then the AEW fan base should realize that they are trying to
do their best in this global situation, so we should cut this company some
slack.
But as
things are; I am far than convinced that this is the best move for this company
or the WWE at this time so one final thing stay-at-home, keep safe and this
will not last forever.
