For sure, but he got the surgery well before his 2012 WWE return.

I honestly don’t get what your question is.

You’re not the only one wondering about this.

Probably not. The initial redness mysteriously coincided with him getting bigger and more cut for the MetLife Stadium WrestleMania.

It’s a SWORD! Being HELD TO HIS NECK!

Being on them or getting off of them?

Because they are having matches in the context of the fictional television storyline. QED.

Some form of freemium does seem like the best bet for a growing indie to get exposure outside of its home market, that’s for sure. Look at Beyond Wrestling, for example.

FITE is mostly PPV-focused, though. They don’t have a subscription service. They’re a PPV platform with some free content mixed in.

Well...

Panda/the Carters owned the company from a few months into its existence. They saved it when the original investments from Healthsouth fell through and the whole mess with them getting falsified PPV buy data (THERE’S an article idea) putting the Jarretts on the verge of personal bankruptcy.

There was room for something that felt like WCW, though. It just couldn’t feel like BAD WCW.

As far as I know, the company has never made back its losses, though there have been individual quarters where they ran in the black relative to that period’s profit/loss.

I was expecting this to be Tito Ortiz’s debut for some reason.

And of course, it’s on YouTube:

*slow clap*

They are violating their own policy about everyone who writes for a Vox/SBNation site getting paid, for one. Getting hired as an SBNation.com staffer being dangled as a carrot is something that I’ve seen happen, as well.

It’s under the Combat Sports “league” umbrella internally, though.

“are asked to apply to jobs posted on the Vox Media career page and sign contracts outlining pay and expectations”

I literally mentioned it.
