One thing that may be an issue if WWE does come under these rules is that the most recently-public standard booking contract has a one-year no compete if you are fired for a disciplinary breach (as opposed to WWE just giving you a 90-day notice release). That sounds like exactly the thing these rules would stop.
-
Yep, that's right. (The old contracts used to auto-renew for another year unless the wrestler specifically gave notice to end them during a particular period, though that's not the case in the most recent ones made public.)tm
-
Note the FTC ruling is for employees, not independent contractors, so it wouldn't affect WWE wrestlers. As noted, it wouldn't make much difference to the standard WWE release anyway. They'd just switch from "we're ending the contract but we'll pay you for 90 days if you don't go on TV elsewhere" to explictly stating "here's your 90 days notice of us ending the contract; we won't be booking you in the meantime so you just get your downside."

Bit late replying to this, but the answer's no. The TV network owns the rights to the footage and hasn't shown any interest in making it available in any way.

Would someone else have made wrestling what it is if vince hadn't?

FWIW, Terry and Dory Funk sold the Amarillo territory in 1980 because they'd figured out cable TV would mean somebody went national and there'd be no room for local promotions. -
Oof. Showed the BBC News report of this on Gogglebox and somebody described him as "The Mick Hucknall Forrest Gump."

I think it's generally a workplace rule that if you're in a fight with colleagues where you're the first to get physical and you get suspended and then you come back and less than a year later have a fight with a colleague (three feet in front of your boss) where you're the first to get physical, you're probably not getting the benefit of the doubt.

Surely it's as simple as the guy who takes out Rock has to be clearly established as retired/immortal/legend, otherwise you question why Rock isn't having a match with him next rather than wrestling either Cody or Reigns.

Played Tokkaido: Crosswords, aka the first expansion for the base Tokkaido. It's pretty simple stuff: each location now has a secondary option that adds a little twist. For example, at the farm where you get cash, you can instead gamble your money on a dice roll. The hot springs (where you randomly get either 2 or 3 points) has a bathhouse where you pay a coin for a guaranteed 4 points. Most of them are along the lines of "instead of normal thing, pay a coin for something better" which makes the money management more key. It really doesn't dramatically change the gameplay, just adds a little variety if you've played the game a lot.

It's heavily rumoured to be Minneapolis but it's an indoor stadium (albeit with a glass roof and most of one end.) But supposedly they haven't yet chosen between there and Vegas.

Unlike in the actual McIntyre-Rollins match.

The fundraising has absolutely shot up. Probably just the publicity but I like to think a lot of people were thinking "I'll thrown in a tenner, but only if he finishes" like it was a sponsored fun run.

To be fair, Hardest Geezer defined "length of Africa" as "from the Northern-most point to the Southern-most point" which this guy didn't do. He "only" did North coast to South coast.
