One thing you can say about WWE at least is that they all have a downside guarantee now, and everyone, even the lowest paid women, is getting paid above poverty level salaries per year, plus some kind of cut of house shows, merch, and licensing (all recently reduced, plus the loss of PPV bonuses, but that's a…

This is going to be horrendous for fighters at the bottom of the card because it's not like this is even the WWE or something, they don't have any kind of downside guarantee. Guys at the bottom of the card are getting fuck all in pay. Getting their outside sponsorships, sometimes even for local businesses in their…

Figures. My brother is an Avalanche die-hard and always bitching about this asshole, and so the initial post made me think of Dater... and then I go to the comments, and welp.

Yeah, I could certainly see it running out quickly enough anyway. He's not an intelligent man.

Yes, it's unlikely that any of his givers would have to pay any taxes on the gift. The threshold is in the five figures, over $10,000. For the same reason no one is tax liable if their rich buddy gives them a few hundred or few thousand dollars for a gift, and not because the IRS would have trouble finding out about…

They'll just put up another donation page to pay for that too, and they'll get hundreds of thousands of more, because that's how passionate millions of Americans are about police brutality and the racist status quo.

It falls under the gift tax. Gift taxes are owed by the giver, not the receiver, over a certain threshold that pretty much no giver would meet.

He does not have to pay taxes on the donations. If he's getting paid for media appearances, sure.

Not how it works. It's considered a gift. In the United States, gift taxes, over a threshold, are owed by the person giving, not the person receiving.

31 year old Canadian here (albeit one who has lived in the US for a few years), I've never heard of the Vanier Cup. Looks like Ottawa's only won once in my lifetime though, so maybe that's why.

and 3) being provided with the best steroids Hollywood actors can get.

Yeah, serious commitment aided heavily by steroids.

I don't know what a pet shamer is or why they're known to suck, but there are certain basic standards of life a pet should have, and being dragged around the country to do things that 99.9% of cats don't like doing is not meeting those standards.

There's plenty else in the interview about health, including about concussions, that has nothing to with Dr. Amman. Including many conversations directly from Vince when he's asking to come back in a week or two from an illness with an official 4-6 weeks out diagnosis.

The 'industry' isn't in that much collusion together. There's only one major game in town right now in terms of the US, but if he actually wanted to wrestle still, Japanese promotions wouldn't hesitate to take him. Mexican promotions wouldn't hesitate either, including the "Lucha Underground" promotion that is trying…

Have you listened to this interview? Because Punk talks a lot about their approach to concussions and their tests too.

People still don't understand what the Chris Gaines thing was. There was a movie that was in development about a fictional character who was a singer, it had a screenplay, was going to be made. Studio had the idea that they would promote the movie by pre-releasing music made by this character, sort of like the viral…

That's not true. I've followed Garth closely for 20 years. He got cheating and was open about admitting it, but there was never any violence accusations.

I wish they had this deal on the Kindle e-readers. I could use an upgrade on my quite old Kindle (I want a paperwhite), but we already own two tablets.

Yeah, was just going to mention that. When I signed up via my AMEX, I figured the catch would be that I would have to always use the card for every transaction, but that hasn't even been the case, at least not with the couple of Dominos deliveries I've done (used my Discover).
