The WWE can't do anything about guys they had in their fed at one point who aren't currently signed regardless. As well, if the wrestlers signed, they're all good. Only thing they can do is what they already do which is forbid any outside projects.

Not sure if you know the whole story. It is a Kevin Steen figure that of course looks just like Kevin Owens. So RoH will be making money off a guy that WWE is pushing. Many of the indy guys have 5 year deals so the company can put out action figures up to 5 years after their deal. Vince is mad that he is being cut out of that action. So he wants to have guys sign with them even if not being used so if/when down the road WWE wants to do business with them the WWE will have them signed up and not worry about someone else legally making money off "their guy".

Then maybe Vince should have signed Steen five years ago and he could have already made a Kevin OWENS action figure instead of some of the worthless, piece of shit talents that have already been immortalized in plastic. And Vince can cry me a river about being cut out of any "action" in this business. Now I have to agree with aceldamas, F the E!!!!!

The timing may be bad for the E, but seriously I find it REALLY hard to feel bad for the E. This is the same company that has had no problems making money while someone dies in their ring (and keeping the PPV going), or producing a DVD set panning a guy that they now immortalize and exploit his passing for money. The WWE certainly has zero standing to be playing any type of ethics card.

WWE = Wrestling Without Ethics.
And I hate to say it, but after reading Justin Roberts' comments regarding the Connor The Crusher situation, you REALLY have to wonder...

I hear what you're saying, but can't really fault WWN...it is a business and everyone wants to get paid, usually at the expense of us little people... Do you guys really think this could have been prompted by an action figure that from what I understand, won't even be sold in stores to compete with the 50+ John Cena figures at any given retailer??? If that is indeed the case, shame on the WWE. Again. Not sure if you know the whole story. It is a Kevin Steen figure that of course looks just like Kevin Owens. So RoH will be making money off a guy that WWE is pushing. Many of the indy guys have 5 year deals so the company can put out action figures up to 5 years after their deal. Vince is mad that he is being cut out of that action. So he wants to have guys sign with them even if not being used so if/when down the road WWE wants to do business with them the WWE will have them signed up and not worry about someone else legally making money off "their guy". And it's perfectly ok for Vince to legally make money by broadcasting the matches of former WWE talents like my friend Roadkill on HIS network without said talents getting paid a dime for it? Who's getting cut out of the action now??? I have absolutely no issue with anything that has been posted by anyone for the record...my issue lies with the money hungry son of a bitch running the 2nd worst wrest...err...excuse me, "entertainment" company in the world. I'm just venting. |

I'm just venting. Hey I am with you. I was just posting the facts, not justifying what he is doing. I have a love/hate thing with Vince. For everything good he has done it seems he has done something bad. Right now I feel he is looking to stop the rebirth/growth of a wrestling scene outside of his "universe" at least as far as ones getting TV exposure. And that is why I am trying to support companies not under the WWE umbrella. No offense to NXT or even WWE per say. But this year I have spent money to see RoH and TNA and bought merchandise. Well if you count RoH packs on here. Vince reminds me of something I like to say. "Greed is good, too much greed is bad". |

Oh, I hear you...like I said, I had no issue with what you posted at all, unless of course you're really Vince McMahon...
And as for Vinny Mac, I usually describe him as such - both the BEST and WORST thing to ever happen to wrestling.

As some of you probably already know, Johnny Gargano wrested in last night's dark match at the NXT tapings.
