WWE Referee verliert beinahe Daumen in Saudi-Arabien / Neuer Legendenvertrag für Mick Foley?

- Wie F4WOnline.com berichtet, soll WWE Referee Charles Robinson beim Aufbau des Rings für das WWE Live Event am Freitag in Riad, Saudi-Arabien, beinahe seinen Daumen verloren haben. Laut Augenzeugenberichten soll sich Charles Robinson beim Aufbau des Rings so tief in den Daumen geschnitten haben, dass er ihn fast verloren hätte. WWE Arzt Dr. Chris Amann konnte den Daumen von Charles Robinson jedoch noch retten und nähen.

- Mick Foley hat nun in einem Interview mit "The Drive with Marc James" im CBS Radio in Charlotte, North Carolina, verraten, dass die WWE ihm einen neuen Legenden-Vertrag angeboten hat, welchen er allerdings sehr wahrscheinlich nicht unterzeichnen wird:

"Honestly, I'm probably not going to sign my Legends deal with WWE because I don't think they did the right thing by the guys with the video game. The check was a little low. Last year, there was a bankruptcy, but this year there wasn't. So, I don't see the upside to signing the Legends deal when the carrot isn't there dangling. So, I'm not going to sign my Legends deal."

Zitat

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley posted the following on Facebook in regards to why he's not signing a new WWE Legends deal:

"To deal..or not to deal - that is the question. As some of you may have heard, at this point, I am opting not to sign my Legends Marketing Deal, which gives ‪#‎WWE‬ the right to market my likeness on video games and action figures. I'll be writing in more detail about this in the next week or so, but it would be fair to say that, despite strong sales, I have found the payoffs for the past two video games to be extremely weak - in the 25% range of what most talent was expecting.

Last year, the explanation had something to do with the video game company going bankrupt - a real shame for me, since I was heavily featured as three characters from the "Attitude" era, complete with voice work. I haven't heard this year's explanation yet, but, personally. I think the #WWE just wants to see if the talent will accept a far lower percentage than had previously been given. If so, it would proably be a good business move for #WWE, since very few current wrestlers are going to jeapordize their standing with the company by offering resistance - and most legends will probably come to feel like anything they get from merchandise is better than nothing.

As for me: until I hear a valid reason, I'm opting out."
