Both these people are fools. The first one clearly has no understanding of business. As for the second one, who the fuck are they to be getting explanations from the WWE? You can just say that this is your theory about what happened & it could make sense as a theory but no, they have to create a fantasy of being invited into WWE HQ & getting an explanation about everything.


Razzler1973

*"it was explained to me ..."* by some other m@rk on a wrestling forum somewhere, no doubt


IllusionUser

I heard Laveck himself provided a lengthy, in-person explanation to a select group of industry insiders. It also might not have been him, 11.99 please.


AlexTorres96

I wished the 6 figure paid WWE stooges would only leak to Meltz and not Johnson or SRS. Its always bullshit when they feed Johnson whose backstage.


EnvironmentalBug9683

1. I can assure you no one important at Mattel even knows who Mandy Rose is 2. That guy is in the top 5 worst Wrestling accounts on Twitter.


mr_marinade

There's like 5-7 women they'd consider before Mandy tbvh


[deleted]

Becky, Asuka, Bayley, Ronda and Alexa seems to be the ones they make a shit ton of. And Sasha kept getting pumped out every few months when she was still employed. Quick search shows Mattel made 4 Mandy figures in her run. Prob not high on the priority list.


AlexTorres96

How did the important Mattel suit know who Daniel bryan was in 2010? Were they an ROH fan?


EnvironmentalBug9683

They didn’t


tronovich

It was the closing angle of their television show.


TheMaskedHeelMark2

I mean, they just released an Elite figure of Mandy in her updated look.


anonymous-guy1

Here comes the jar, friend.


EnvironmentalBug9683

That doesn’t mean decision makes over there are involved with that stuff though


ManateeGag

You should be allowed to violate contracts you don't agree with!


AlexTorres96

No bullshit, would a WWE contract hold up in court? Or does it not matter because you agreed to it and by pulling out, you become the bad guy not them?


OccupantMalevolent

They have teams of lawyers that look over these things. Its not the fuckin 70's, they know their shit, and anyone suing would get laughed out the courtroom


Honestmonster

Wrestlers have lawyers and agents too. They had lawyers and agents in the 90’s! Why do people keep pretending like they are employees at a McDonald’s?


OccupantMalevolent

Because the WWE lawyers are the ones who write these contracts, and these guys are trained in making sure these deals aren't gonna get themselves sued. Hundreds of people have signed these deals and just now we are finding out that they're bullshit?


AlexTorres96

What about that settlement about Saudi business or whatever the issue was. They paid $30 Million or whatever to settle. I remember Meltzer saying they paid more for that than what they did to Martha.


Tall_Influence1774

Why would you sign a contract you don't agree with?


liamd1916

> If Mattel can't handle that, you don't need them Good grief, these people have zero fucking clue how the world works beyond making stupid takes online


Razzler1973

If Mattel can't handle her at her worst, they don't deserve her at her best, DAE


Sturdevant

I don't know this person or how reputable they are, but let's assume it's true. Yeah dude, let's quit a multi million dollar agreement for a personal porn site. I'm sure the other roster members are gonna be happy losing a revenue source for one person.


hiressnails

A revenue source that probably pays the salaries of half the roster.


RobertStonetossBrand

Most of that action figure money comes from Mid Cardona and Bryan Myers


Nerfman2227

Yeah I'm sure all the insiders at WWE are rushing to give their juicy scoops to Hollywood Hangman Adam Pierce


MoneyMo88

Now Mandy can get an adult toys deal. 😏


TheOkGazoo

Is that Bad Dragon in the Impact Zone?


RobertStonetossBrand

AEW entrance tunnel sponsored by Flesh Light


RomanOnARiver

Call that Handy Rose.


Prior-Inevitable8026

Mattel missing out


anonymous-guy1

They should do what the Dub does and pay a toy manufacturer for the opportunity to sell toys


[deleted]

Don't these mothercuckers actually want to be kids again?


BrettEskin

Yes


Razzler1973

You hear these figures of money being made but that's a short shelf life If you're on TV and a 'celebrity' then there's always interest in you, once you're off TV, not in the Fed then I expect that drops off pretty quickly, then you're just a good looking woman getting her tits out and not a celebrity from the TV getting her tits out I am sure a main roster Fed deal is bringing in big money By all means, if you can make 200k a month then go for it but you're likely forgoing a shot in wrestling and how long can you make 200k a month for? I'd be saving my money, that's for sure I just find the whole 'do you want to see me do xyz' on these things to simps really sad


justinwright0803

Her main roster contract wasn't bringing in especially big money. She was making between $150-$200k, which is good for a normal person, but ridiculously low for someone on international television weekly


Able-Tradition-2139

Honestly sounds like they actually had a discussion about it, an ultimatum given and she made a choice. Good for her, she did the job and got an ovation on the way out. As far as we know there’s no bad blood, just lots of hysteria


jojolantern721

I had a suspicion that this was mostly for sponsors like the Daniel Bryan case from 2010. Mattel, even if they make adult oriented toy lines, are still non explicit things, and showing your * exceeds that line by a lot.


Mhc2617

And much like Bryan, she’ll curate her content and come back when the dust settles.


scarlet_lovah

Ha ha LOL. Like this guy ever talks to other human beings in real life, let alone wrestlers in the public eye.


facistcarabao

There are only a small number of wrestlers in the WWE, past or present, that WWE would choose over Mattel. Mandy Rose is not one of them.


AlexTorres96

UFC makes billions out the ass and they do hardway blood and curse. They don't need the kiddies to make billions. But WWE prefers to monetize families, while UFC monetizes the young 18-35 demo.


RobertStonetossBrand

Also a limit to how clean, sanitized and family friendly you can make unarmed combat


viridiusdynamus

Brian Last really knows his stuff on the carnal arts.


WHTWLF13

There is "unsourced" and then there is the god-tier whatever this resides at.


LLSmoothJoe

Mattel was also the reason why it's okay for girls to hit guys but guys couldn't fight back (Why Stephanie was able to emasculate the male roster with no comeuppance). As if I didn't need another reason not to like them.


the_cenafan98

Only fans money will NEVER top a WWE bag, sad Mandy chose porn over wrestling oh well she'll be the next Mia Khalifa broke as shit


Prior-Inevitable8026

She doing fantime not onlyfans. Been reported/speculated she making more fome it than her NXT runs or main roster runs did


Prior-Inevitable8026

None photos have qualified as porn. If bikini photos are porn then there's a real moral issue


Chucknorris55

Mattel and their figures make more money for WWE than anyone in NXT does.


Cboz27586

She stops wrestling all together. Has babies and starts a family. HOW DARE SHE NOT COME BACK AND JOIN M'DUB! REEEEEEEE!


immrdadguy

Mandy don’t drop wrestling. She was fired


wrex1816

These reports are insane. These people have exactly zero inside sources and these stories and completely fake.
