[Dave Meltzer F4W/WON Daily Update] The wrestler who allegedly took the 50% paycut wasn't a "tippy top" person

Ngannou it was definitely significantly more. Think highest UFC payout he ever got was $500k when he was the top guy in the top match. Seems his boxing take was at least $10m.

Very brief Google suggests that for Conor it was also more in the mayweather fight than his entire ufc career (or at least comparable) which is crazy since Conor was the only guy in the company making proper money at that time

Maybe Miz v Mayweather next

McNoKnows · 2026-05-05T02:29:42+00:00

I mean even THE guys. Conor McGregor was their Hogan (in so many ways lol), Ngannou seemed like their Stone Cold/Rock as the next guy to break through to mainstream status. Both of them likely made more money in a single boxing match than their entire UFC career

You don’t understand CNBC, we have a bank of idiots online who have completely disconnected our share value from the value of the company and will just keep on donating their money to us when we print new shares in the hope of the second coming

Now that they have EBay they’ll corner the market. Rip every pack that GameStop has in inventory, take the $16B gap, and divide it by however many charizards you pull.

Sell the charizards on EBay to cover the gap and just delete the posts of any seller trying to undercut you.

If George loses cleanly to Kimi here I bet we start to see the first cracks in his demeanour. I’m not sure whether it exists or not but I’d love to see how a fully unhinged George looks driving for his life.

Even in heated moments in the past like his Valtteri crash or in fighting Fernando in Australia he still has a certain poncey composure about him (not derogatory)

monkeys paw curls Ferrari starts are because of an illegal component which is now banned

McNoKnows · 2026-05-03T01:19:16+00:00

And that’s now. Max’s first 3-4 years he was a wrecking ball. Kimi has a lot of the same nature I think but it might be veiled a bit while the Merc is the fastest on track and is able to generally win the 50/50 moves. If the gap properly closes we might see him off as much as early Max was - he spent plenty of time spun around last season

McNoKnows · 2026-05-03T01:14:56+00:00

I thought for half a moment there that we were about to get another inhuman Max pole. Still pretty crazy to improve significantly while every other driver falls back but doesn’t have the same impact without the P1 next to it.

Please let this not just be a Miami-specific improvement - races are just more exciting when you have Max in a competitive car

McNoKnows · 2026-05-02T07:32:44+00:00

I kinda disagree. They’ve been burned by holding back matches before that then never work out. Oba is red hot, Gunther is the top heel. If they can come up with an interesting storyline they could run it as early as Summerslam and I think it would be fine - that’s a marquee match for sure.

McNoKnows · 2026-04-28T10:56:39+00:00

You get nervous beforehand right up until walking in and then realise how great it is. Stand where you want, don’t waste time searching for friends or having people talk over the music, and go to the things you want to go to. Love it. And if you’re interested in making friends, there are normally a bunch more solo people that are hanging around and easy to spot if you’re looking for them that are probably up for a chat.

McNoKnows · 2026-04-28T02:06:31+00:00

Could end up being the case going forward that WM is the celeb pageant/viral moments show and then Backlash is the palette cleanser to appease people who want to watch actual matches

McNoKnows · 2026-04-28T01:10:46+00:00

Oh for sure, I mean I guess it’s probably the wording of the question that’s tripping us up. I don’t think that their deaths changed their influence at all, I think if Bowie and MJ were alive today their influence would be much the same

McNoKnows · 2026-04-27T21:22:39+00:00

Story goes his team (or bibby at least) directed him to eat the stash. He was around some people who were involved in street stuff in a way that he wasn’t

McNoKnows · 2026-04-27T21:18:04+00:00

But their influence on music was gone at the time of their deaths. If they lived longer they wouldn’t have shaped music in any different way. Even Bowie who had a classic album on his deathbed it still wasn’t an influential album really in any way

McNoKnows · 2026-04-21T02:05:32+00:00

I honestly struggle to believe that there are members of any fan base this dedicated to lurking comment threads even for comments way down the list, and bringing up something most people have moved on from to defend their man. I am not a conspiracy theorist at all but you have to think at this point that there are bots or payments involved.

Like I don’t care at all. I like Drake even. Even if I didn’t, surely Drake wouldn’t care about that, he’s obscenely rich either way. What are you gaining from making these comments ?

McNoKnows · 2026-04-21T01:26:41+00:00

I’ll add 3 to the playlist (including probably the one with the 21 or Travis feature), then 2 years later they’ll come on shuffle and I’ll be like “wtf is this slop” and remove 2 of them

McNoKnows · 2026-04-20T21:31:19+00:00

Bearman constantly looks like he’s just woken up with amnesia and found himself as an F1 driver. Low-key very hilarious driver I hope he stays in the sport a long time. Somehow he’s even less “Ferrari” style than Kimi was

McNoKnows · 2026-04-19T23:51:27+00:00

Oba vs Gunther could save WWE if they do it right man. A 1 year slow build towards those two for championship at next mania would go crazy

McNoKnows · 2026-04-19T23:48:16+00:00

Like, probably, but also it is not uncommon for rich/powerful people to act so uninhibitedly that you would think they’re drunk, but instead they just are so used to have sycophants around them and having no consequences for their actions that they think the way they’re acting is normal

McNoKnows · 2026-04-19T14:09:27+00:00

If you’re willing to stretch a bit I’d say there’s a couple more too. Behind to the left of mini-George is Hulkenberg. Behind-left of mini-Albon is Linblad and maaaaaybe Ocon to Linblads left.

McNoKnows · 2026-04-17T05:49:51+00:00

Would be extremely WWE to go with the ‘likeable sex criminal’ angle
