Vince is a horrible businessman if it's true that WWE wasn't paid for past events until Crown Jewel

Some of the roster were being held hostage before they even went to Saudi.

Everyone hated them for going and now they're likely not going back and still getting shit on even though it was the Prince of Saudi Arabia that had them ordered off the planes
Amazing |

Droford you can’t be serious. While they might go there it’s the principle that some talent were fearing for their lives.

If this roster doesn't form a Union tomorrow night, they are never getting it done.
Vince would have no way to shut it down under the current shitstorm. |

I wonder who actually wants to leave.
Did Lana stay in the US or did she travel and stay in Bobby's hotel room? |

Seems AJ Styles might have outed himself as being the only person who claimed the Saudi situation was due to mechanical problems and not something else to Meltzer.
If so, it wasn't the case of someone else leaking his name to the sheets and instead due to him holding a live stream discussing the Saudi issue.

If anything all this means is they'll have to make the future shows in SA RAW only or make it a Wednesday to avoid potential travel issues.

One of the main impediments to starting a union would be getting the handful of wrestlers at the top to join in, since they're already being paid a lot and probably don't want to "rock the boat" for the benefit of the vast majority of everyone else.
Also there are probably a lot of guys at the bottom who are like "it's my dream to wrestle in WWE" and don't want to "cause any trouble," etc. Sucks... wish they would all band together... |

Vince isn’t letting anyone go. The way those contracts are written, they have to fulfill them. And when these wrestlers say they aren’t going, I’m sure Vince and his lawyers will tell them and somehow he will sue them for breach of contract or some bullshit

If the Saudi money doesn't come through and or if this was the last show in Saudi Arabia then I think WWE will begin to release a large amount of talent. They always cut roster when things get tight. There are guys that they hold onto out of spite like Luke Harper and I could see him getting released. Him and a ton of NXT talent that hasn't "made it".

Sounds like the show was a total clusterfuck, be interesting to see how wrestlers refusing to go back to Dune Coon territory will be dealt with by wwe. They could probably claim that as being breach of contract or some shit, even though they are "independent contractors" that are under more restrictions than pretty much any other job.
It baffles me how wwe get away with that independent contractor shit when it's blatantly obvious that their performers are under lock and key. |

If luke harper writing contract ends this month and vince decides to ad 6 months on it, lawyers are less likely to get involved if luke wanted to call the bluff. but yeah if they lose Saudi money, an fox getting pissed, vince will need to cut costs an get rid of un happy people.
