Both donations (2007 and 2009) are listed on the Trump Foundation’s tax filings as being from WWE. Starting in 2012, WWE has been denying that the donations came from WWE even though they coincided with Trump doing appearances for them: WM23 in 2007 and the “Trump buys Raw” storyline in 2009, the latter of which was Read more

Does that effect if it would have to be in an SEC filing, though? Read more

In other words, you’re saying that because it was in lieu of the appearance fee, WWE wouldn’t be declaring it as a donation on SEC filings? Read more

Dustin is still under contract to WWE, though he hasn’t wrestled in 6 months and has been working as a talent scout. There have been a lot of rumors and speculation about him getting involved, but as of right now, he’s still tied down. If he signed the usual three year deals starting with his full-time return in Read more

Tony Khan is a super duper hardcore wrestling fan who’s subscribed to the Observer forever so I doubt that’s it as much as now’s the time to try something like this. Read more

“Complicated” is the legacy he leaves in wrestling where a bunch of dudes emulated him to an almost comical degree and were worse off for it. Only Jushin Liger (well, I dunno what happened to Randy Thatcher) really seems to have escaped unscathed. I didn’t wanna risk going too long even I probably should have Read more

In the CNN interview, his first wife sort of implied without outright saying it that, at least relative to their marriage, the his drug problem and excessive steroid abuse changed him. From other sources, like Bret Hart’s book, you get the impression that it was always there, but that he was a more complex person Read more

It’s been one of the main bullshit narratives on MMA Twitter. Read more

To me, it’s especially weird how toothless his internet restrictions are. Must save his history and can’t use Firefox, but that’s it? Huh? Is there some specific reason (TOR related maybe?) that it would only be Firefox that he’d be banned fromusing? Read more

Find an outlet that does background checks on freelancers and get back to us. Not that it would have mattered in this case since Kidd started at BE years before the bust. A background check wouldn’t have found anything. Read more

At the risk of repeating myself, just read my other replies and don't devote all of your energy to the headline. Read more

Personally? No, I don’t. I was 4 when the Bulldogs left WWE and didn’t start getting Japanese tapes until after he retired, it’s not like there’s a significant mental block to get past. Great wrestler, bad person, and there are a lot of those. (Also, you seem to be implying that he wasn’t notable enough to write about Read more

I mean, if you’re just reading the headline, sure. You can’t fit every bit of nuance in there, unfortunately, and regardless, “complicated” wasn’t meant as if him being a great wrestler somehow outweighs him being a shitty person or anything dumb like that. It wasmeant to indicate the additional layer of how, on top Read more

It’sa made up SBNation argument designed to obfuscate. They’re trying to confuse everyone about the status the writers on the “community” blogs. That’s literally all it is and all is been since they first argued it last year. They’re pretended that those sites are social media platforms to blur the line.  Read more

This is actually part of the SBNation community blog push. If you’re going to do it anyway, why not do it on a superior publishing platform with the SEO and the like taken care of and make sure people read it? (Of course, you can’t sell the ads yourself...) Read more
