With the recent "epidemic" of sorts of leaked WWE female photos, it seems like a no-brainer for them to just stop taking those types of photos. Or at the very least, be VERY selective of who they share the photos with, and how they are shared. Now, I have no idea how or why the photos are being leaked, but do you think it's a case of the wrestlers being a little careless with respect to taking and sharing their photos? We even saw on Total Divas how easy it was for Maryse to slip up and send an explicit photo to a number of guys in the locker room.
Young people often do things without considering the consequences. Hell, older people do as well. Are they careless? Who am I to say? Would I do it? No. But there are a lot of things I wouldn’t that they would, and vice versa. And when you consider that you are talking about good looking people that are also performers, I can understand why they want to take the pictures. A lot of people do it. If I were in WWE management and especially down preparing the stars at NXT, I would make a point to address this issue, using the recent examples, to try and get the talent in a state of mind that what you do today can stay with you for a lifetime so be careful.
Also, do you think WWE should take an active role to discourage taking and/or sharing these type of photos, or should WWE stay out of it, since the leaks are a result of what goes on in the women's personal lives?
As I said above, I would use it as a teaching moment. Given some of the things Vince McMahon has said publicly about what he has done in his private life, it wouldn’t come across well to go overboard in what they tell the wrestlers. But educating them? That is a good move. And I would bet they have already started doing it.
With guys like ACH, Kyle O’Reilly and Keith Lee moving from ROH to EVOLVE, is it safe and correct to say that EVOLVE pays their talent more than ROH does?
Unless you see their contracts, no it’s not. You would need to know what they are being paid by both. You would also need to know if EVOLVE is being used as a stepping stone for the talents to continue on to WWE.
So Dave Scherer think it's appropriate to editorialize in articles but when someone calls him out on speculating by offering an alternative theory to demonstrate why he should simply stick to the facts, he denies what he did then tries to turn the tables? Why is he in the public eye if he can't handle criticism like public figures get?
It was not an alternative theory. It was an incorrect statement. I don’t accept any criticism that is rooted in a lie. Only a moron would. If you can make a good point using facts, I always consider it. My mind is not closed. Nice try though.
To go off of Mike's answer about PPV venues, why doesn't WWE consider Kansas City more often like they do St. Louis? It has just as rich of a professional wrestling history as St. Louis. Plus you hear from people like HBK, Scott Hall, Ric Flair, etc that Kansas City was a hotbed in their younger days with all the talent that was around. Your thoughts?
The company likes to run in arenas where they have great relationships and deals. They also check their past numbers to see where the preferable venues are. I don’t think they concern themselves with how an older territory did back in the day. If they run run TV in a place and it sells out quickly, they take notice though so if tickets move quickly for a TV event, it could help get a PPV.
