PWD 668: Feast With Black Beast

[My Spot]

It's not "hard to say".....WCW wouldn't have survived the AOL Time-Warner merger no matter what. If they were profitable they would've been sold for more money instead of the peanuts they got for wanting that shit off their stations.

There's an interesting story about Vince purchasing them for peanuts. Brad Siegel was buddy buddy with Stu Snyder.

WWF's end of fiscal 2001 report (released 7/28) notes that all of the intellectual properties and assets of WCW including the trade name, tape library and other intangible assets were sold by AOL- Time Warner for a staggeringly low $2.5 million.
This is despite an offer from Bischoff/Fusient Media Group for $48.3 million, just days prior to the sale to WWF.
The Fusient offer included a $5 million deposit - so, even if the deal had collapsed, TBS would have picked up double what they've now got from Vince. Moreover, Fusient had agreed to take over every contract - relieving AOL-Time Warner of more than $15 million in salary payouts.
Instead, as thing now stand, Time Warner will be paying Goldberg more in one year than all the money they got from the sale of WCW.

In response to an April 29, 2002 interview [4][5] question on why digital video recorders were bad for the industry, Kellner responded:

“ Because of the ad skips.... It's theft. Your contract with the network when you get the show is you're going to watch the spots. Otherwise you couldn't get the show on an ad-supported basis. Any time you skip a commercial or watch the button you're actually stealing the programming. ”

In addition to WCW, Kellner has also been criticized for being responsible for the cancellation of Animaniacs, a show from Amblin Entertainment and Warner Bros.

There should be a lot more than this. @RollSonnenRoll

Which do you prefer--the UK or Poland?

For a lawyer, UK is better because it’s full of intricate legislation that gives you money.

Plus London is a cultural center full of entertainment.

But it’s turning into a fascist state terrified of terrorism plus you can’t go on a Friday night without wondering about getting a kicking from some bugger and his six friends on the Finchley Road while buying a kebab.

Poland is laid back as fuck compared to the UK.

The girls are so much, prettier. Go to an average strip club, you got Nikki Bella straight off. Walk down the street and the girls are hot and the dudes ain’t noticing. Was even better 20 years ago, Jesus Christ.

You’ve got legislation that is pretty clear even if the fascists are in power.

Nobody is going to stabbity, blow up or kill you on the street.

You can’t drink in the parks in theory but I don’t give a shit and a policeman walks by me having a beer at 9pm on a Friday walking the dog and we say to each other, having a nice evening?

The police and customs at the local clean space ship airport don’t have MP5s. Fucking Luton or Stansted airport in the UK is Children of Men literally. They are stinky shit holes full of crap, garbage and sad people surrounded by armed police with submachine guns.

UK is beautiful and I love the law and entertainment.

Poland is beautiful and I love the girls and law and attitude to life.

Oh and there are plenty of Asian, brown and black people round here. They mingle and have mixed kids and nobody cares. Might be just the part where I live which is gentrifying but not getting extremely expensive.

 

[Wariowokecancel]

Seriously, any time I’m back in the UK it’s like fucking Children of Men or V.

Poland is New Kids Turbo.

Almost like they didn't want WCW around to further taint their new branding "TNT we do drama".

We going to pretend Bischoff being in charge would've automatically fixed WCW?

What are the odds that, after being screwed over at the Global Pay-Per-View of Unknown Location, tonight Braun will flip over something that a normal man could not flip over?

I'm thinking 5-1.
