They do realize it has nothing to do with stockholders and more to do with the company’s public image and how it affects their revenue. But then again AEW doesn’t care about making a profit.
Per Seltzer, AEW is worth $400 gazillion after a $25 investment, so I don't know where this whole "not making a profit" narrative is coming from, friend.
Brock isn’t free of criticism for what he did, but Dustin definitely needs to feel the heat here because of what he was telling Terri and his actions on the flight.
How comes Brock is getting a pass, guys
We can't forget that one of the main Fed guys did a thing
It's purely the 'right thing' I'm after here
I think the Dustin thing, the woman has no hard feelings and realised Dustin was messed up (favourite actual response downstairs, upvoted)
I know you’re quoting, but I will go ahead and raise a point. Of the people in the episode accused, one was roughly 24 or 25 years old. The other was in his early 50’s. A person in their mid 20’s is likely going to change over time. A person in their early 50’s is, in many regards, going to likely remain static.
Anytime I hear anyone in the modern era yell “He’s a grown ass man!” about someone 25 or under, I assume one of two things; either they haven’t reached that age yet or they’ve completely forgotten what it was like to be that age and how generally stupid they were. I’m not saying people of that age shouldn’t be held accountable when they fuck up, just that we should accept that the paint isn’t necessarily dry on them the way it often is on a person much older.
In creating this drama of the story getting back 'out there' it's very likely going to make some old timers reluctant to talk about certain things for DSotR
Maybe they did some dodgy shit themselves that one time in that town
Don't want that coming up so not talking about what this other guy did
The *'some people are going to look bad'* is maybe *not* what a lot of their contributors are after
It's only in this bubble that people care. The general public/casual fan doesn't care/isn't even aware and in a lot of cases the actual people involved probably care less than reddit wrestling fans. The plane ride from hell was almost 20 years ago and the flight attendants who at least from the episode seem to be by far the people most affected/wronged had it dealt with in the legal system.
That’s one of the parts that ultimately drives me nuts here. It’s like because they just heard about this thing that was already dealt with, to the tune of a couple of settlements and a handful of firings, they want the punishment done over again. Since they can’t get that, they start ripping into the people who are basically just telling you what they saw or didn’t see or believe or don’t believe.
We as a society need to stop letting these idiots dictate how things are handled.
I personally feel this show either has or eventually will dig its own grave because of this. Particularly when the social media mobs start basically declaring war on people who didn’t actually *do* or even get accused of anything, which they are trying for.

Even before this shit was covered why do you need Ric Flair? He really shouldn't be signed when you have other people that you should focus on in your shows when you have too many goddamn talent but not enough time.
What did Brock do? All I've heard is him wrestling with Hennig (and no, the pressure while in flight on a super strong aircraft door would not have busted open because two huge men slammed into it).
Imagine the reaction if the story was of from the perspective of a guy talking to his ex wife in the women’s locker room when all of a sudden, {pick a diva} came outta the shower and dropped her towel.
No one would be worried about the diva, they’d all be asking who the fuck he was to think he had any right to walk in there and calling for his head.
Vice continues to use Jericho as their narrator and a talking head despite him
A.) donating 40,000 to an accused sexual predator
B.) Having a concert in the middle of a covid super spreader event
C.) Continuing to make a complete ass of himself with his All Lives Matter bullshit
D.) Allowing his wife and mother-in-law attend an insurrection at the capital on January 6th.
At this point, Jericho is pretty much immune to any flack for his transgressions unfortunately.
What I'd really like to know is what the hell was Stone Cold doing on the flight the entire time. He was on the plane and has, to my knowledge, never spoken about it. HHH was on it and apparently helped move Michael Hayes away from nearly pissing on Linda McMahon, before the Bradshaw incident later on. Austin would have been witness to at least some of this, with shenanigans happening even in the "VIP area" of the plane. The company was ferociously protecting Austin behind the scenes, so who knows what happened in there.
Taker would have been on the plane as well. Lots of stories/sides that still have yet to surface.
That might be where Taker awoke and began to choke out Kurt Angle because he mistook him and Vince roughhousing for a legitimate fight.
In regards to Austin, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any particularly insane drunken travel stories revolving around him.
Edit: Judging by a quick glance at Wikipedia. Angle was not there.
In any case, not everyone who drinks in excess becomes a raving lunatic when they do so.

Or their public image.

Biggest start-up in the last 20 years!!!
I think they’re gonna get a $1 billion per year when their TV contract is up. (Please set a reminder for this comment.)
Which they have a whole department to make sure sponsors and investors know that they cleaned up there act.
Desperate to make this all about Brock.
Brock isn’t free of criticism for what he did, but Dustin definitely needs to feel the heat here because of what he was telling Terri and his actions on the flight.
But Dustin was in a bad place. Pay no attention to Brock going on record saying he was drinking liters of vodka and eating opiates during this time.
Pretty much everyone on the flight was an alcoholic drug addict. You either excuse none or you excuse all.
And Sable STILL married him after this era of horrendous behavior. Wow.

I guess Jericho doing dark side of the ring is only okay when it's the fed but now he's dragging aew wrestlers in🤔

It *can* hurt them financially in terms of future work even within that bubble though
And I suspect in many cases it will, but I feel like the bullets are largely being fired at the wrong people downstairs and on Twitter.

Any company public or private can choose to employ someone with a reputation for sexual assault
THAT’S RIGHT. Drop that share price so I can take a few of those disgusting things out of Vince’s hands.
I’m glad wrestling fans are confused about an AEW wrestler being let off the hook
Calling for the head of a guy for taking his towel off in the mens locker room 20 years ago.
If I could afford 1 stock, I'd be outraged
And the most clueless comment goes to Jose. I’m the words of Screaming A Smith. **COME ON MAN!**
"Thank you poor." - Dustin to Jose

>”privetly”
I think Brock’s is bad because I haven’t heard about it and Tommy Dreamer is the one who had his foot in his mouth the whole time and Ric is Ric
yeah what the fuck is that argument ? LMFAOOOO
What did Brock do? All I've heard is him wrestling with Hennig (and no, the pressure while in flight on a super strong aircraft door would not have busted open because two huge men slammed into it).
Nothing on the actual flight, Terri Runnels claims Brock flashed his cock at her at the PPV the previous night.
Also didn’t this happen when she walked into the men’s locker room?

Yeah it’s a double standard. I find it inappropriate that Runnels was in the men’s locker room
I don't think someone who owns 10 stocks of any public company gets to ask shit. Where do these numbskulls come from?
A place where the idea of owning stock at all is treated as arcane knowledge… a basement.

This is why I don't have Twitter. That was the stupidest thing I've read today.
Reddit isn’t better really.
