Whacking it in here, don't fall into the trap of thinking the BBC's projected national share (Labour 34, Conservative 25, Lib Dem 17, Other 24) is a sign the opinion polls are off or that we're headed for a hung parliament/narrow Labour win. These figures are a projection of what the national vote share would have been in yesterday's local elections if every ward in the country had been voting. They are not meant to relate in any way to what would have happened/will happen in a general election. They are useful only for comparing to previous PNS figures. (Short version: no real change from last year.) The difference is that in local elections, many more people are voting in a contest where somebody other than Labour or Conservative has a serious shot at victory, so the Lib Dems and others get more votes. In a general election, the seats cover bigger and more diverse areas, so it's more likely to be a straight Labour-Conservative battle and make tactical voting necessary. (There's also a possible factor of people treating local elections as the place to do the protest vote/vote with their hearts but treat the general election as a straight choice between the two main contenders for government.)

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.
