DavidB6937 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Yet another out of touch moment unfortunately. It isn't detrimental to their brand in the slightest. If anything it allows them to go out there, interact with the fans and get MORE interest rather than doing any harm. Daft old git.
Kfogg1991 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Can vince and the wwe make such a drastic change to everyone's contract like this without any negotiations or anything. Surely he can't just say no that's it we now own everything about you including what you do in the little spare time you actually have
The King Of Swing Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 They have got away with basically doing whatever they want for decades. Unless the workers actually make a stand instead of just making pissy tweets before falling in line, nothing will change.
Kfogg1991 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Vince is currently trending on twitter. you know the guy is such an egomaniac he will be absolutely thriving off the attention
The Gaffer Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Part of me wants to see Rollins put out some "Look guys I understand the anger but this will make RAW! more unmissable on Mondays" tweet, but someone long seems to have gotten in his ear about that sort of carry on.
Keith Houchen Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 My sources tell me that Vince is getting more in tune with social media and how it modernises integration with fans. As a result, all talent have to have Vince in their top 8 on MySpace.

He doesn't need to fire anyone if he fines them into oblivion. Is it even possible to unilaterally change the terms of a contract mid-term ? For the love of gawd, will someone call HR!

Cannibal Man Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 someone should just fucking brain him with a folding chair while he's in gorilla, just full on steroid era Barry Bonds home run right to the old cunts head then pull his kecks off while he's crying on the floor

Paid Members DCW Posted September 5, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 5, 2020 Even if it turns out Vince can't legally reprimand or fire wrestlers for continuing to use these sites in their own name (and in the USA where the odds are stacked in big business' favour I wouldn't be too sure of that) he can basically just stop pushing or featuring those who don't comply, which is as good as being shitcanned anyway. Seems a very petty thing to do, especially in Covid times where there's no gate receipts to be split amongst talent so they would obviously be down a good few quid.
DavidB6937 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Vince on MySpace? Come on. He's the kinda guy that would go and ask Jeeves how to get onto Google.

Imagine a disgruntled employee clumping the old man. Vince wouldn't be able to help himself but sue big time on top of the criminal proceedings. What happens then? Does Vince play up a frail old man shtick to keep the jury in his favour, or would his ego get the better of him and end up snapping at the questioning of his business practices? Would the defence get Cody in, who can't even use his legacy surname?
