Also HBO being part of the Warner/Discovery empire could have implications for any future TV deals if/when Vince throws a hissy at them if they do this.

El-P Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 NXT UK really is a great place to work. https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/former-nxt-uk-referee-artemis-pay-big-issue-i-took-pay-cut-being-teacher Former (French) NXT UK ref explaining she never earned as little money as she did working WWE. Fuck, she was earning more as a teacher, and that was probably not very much (not enough anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoS Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 There have to be more mainstream news articles coming.

Stiva Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Yeah, I’d wager this is going to get very ugly, very quickly. We’re through the looking glass now, boys. I assume Dunn and Pritchard fall next. Can Coach Tony K take advantage of the chaos? I notice they announced Hunter is back to work; does this actually end with him and Steph on the throne, as they always envisaged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Just now, MoS said: I mean, when has that stopped powerful men from retaining their power. They are beginning to fall. Slowly, but it happens. Harvey Weinstein fell. Some people in France are going through the same process (for rape accusations). 1 minute ago, MoS said: I didn't see any indication from the last few weeks that he felt pressured enough to do this.

I mean, I'm neither shocked nor think it will immediately change anything. But I'm not shocked. Now, I'm just waiting to see (and hoping) if there's an actual killshot coming.

Ricky Jackson Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 I'm actually pretty intrigued by a post-Vince WWE creative. Or is everything so deeply ingrained that nothing will really change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 It’s all on production. If Dunn leaves, that’s enough for me. I can’t imagine Bruce gets to stick around. Paul coming back is not a coincidence. It’s now Khan’s choice to see which way they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thread Killer Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 I am very curious to see what happens with Bruce Prichard and to a lesser degree, Kevin Dunn now. If those two end up being shown the door some time in the next 3-6 months, then actual organizational changes might actually be coming to WWE. If not, then it’s a safe guess that Vince will just be calling the shots from afar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Stephy is incompetent. I mean, they said it themselves a few weeks back. I guess they changed their mind. Dunn is god awful.

Rumor has always had it that Stephanie and Trips do not like Prichard and Dunn, and vice versa. I don’t see those four willing to coexist, or even being able to coexist voluntarily. If they do then we know that Vince is still pulling the strings, which is what I assume will happen. I am kind of curious what role Nick Khan will take in all of this as well.
