TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2004 Posing for Playboy is the ultimate life goal for every human being with a functioning vagina. No matter what they do after that, it will be their defining moment in their life and they'll forever treasure the memory, and remind people at every opportunity. In fact, the highest form of flattery to those lucky girls is to tell them you whacked off to their centerfolds. They'll go to any lengths to achieve it, and if some one they know achieves it instead of them, they'll be so bitter they'll turn into a jealous whiny bitch and harrass the wonderful, classy, woman so deserving of admiration that did make it in. This will eventually lead to a horribly shitty match on PPV. Still the number one Torrie hater, then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still the number one Torrie hater, then? what's funny is whenever someone is interviewed about posing for Playboy, they actually act like it IS the crowning achievement of their lives and will go on and on about what a terrific experiance it was and how they loved it and would do it again at the drop of a hat. so, honey, you LIKE being treated like meat? in that case... *slaps her ass* ...go get me a beer, sweetcheeks.

NYU 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2004 I don't know if secretly signing a contract that doesn't belong to you is valid in the eyes of the law. I mean, Shane McMahon bought WCW this way. Shawn Michaels got the title shot at WrestleMania XX this way. If that's the way the world works, I've been screwed out of so many possible home purchases at this point.

Vince Hadn't brought it yet.... Remember he was going to "make" Ted Turner hand the contract over to him at WMX7?....He just apprently made it sound like he made a VERBAL agreement. So obviously Shane got to Turner first. That's legal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2004 I don't know if secretly signing a contract that doesn't belong to you is valid in the eyes of the law. No, it isn't. Under the common law of contracts, there has to be a valid offer, acceptance, and consideration. In these contracts, the offer wasn't intended to be to the secretly signed. Plus, usually verbal contracts have already been made by the wrestlers, and the "contract signing" is a formality that is just used for beatdowns and for wrestlers to illegally sign contracts. As for Shane buying WCW, Vince said he'd be glad to sign the contract later. IIRC, since the sum in question exceeded 10,000 dollars, I believe it would have to be in writing to be valid. However, the offer may have needed to be made to all interested parties and the first to respond could become the valid acceptor. If Turner just made the offer to Vince, Shane overheard it, and accepted, Shane's purchase of WCW may not have been a valid contract. At least those are my best guesses based on my business law classes. Therefore, HBK superkicking Benoit and signing his contract was bullshit. Bisch could have declared it invalid and wrote up another contract for HHH and Benoit to sign. So obviously Shane got to Turner first. That's legal. Only if Turner communicated the offer to Shane AND Vince, otherwise I don't think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 28, 2004 I thought he made the offer to WWFE? Of which...Shane is a Partial owner of.... and then Shane along with Stephanie sold their ownership rights over to Ric Flair... If i believe...Shane sold his part of the WWFe empire before buying WCW. tHE ONLY thing i never got about the whole thing was...How did Vince NOT know it was Ric Flair? Shouldn't the Majority owner of the company know who just brought part of his very company ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted May 28, 2004 I don't see how that's any different from a Baseball players *no trade* clause. Because while the player can't be traded, they can always be cut/waived. I've never heard of a "no-waiver" clause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hektik 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2004 By March 2001, Turner was no longer the owner of WCW. He lost power when he merged with Time Warner in '96, so neither McMahon could buy the company from him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted May 28, 2004 I think HBK signing Chris Benoit's WMXX contract was far worse than the Shane McMahon thing. I mean the one he signed probably had Chris Benoit printed on it so I don't see how anyone could think HBK signing it meant a damned thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 28, 2004 *symbolic* It had symbolic meaning... Bischoff didn't give him the match because he signed his name on the contract that belonged to Benoit... He gave in because he couldn't contain him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted May 28, 2004 You know how sometimes WWE has the "official contract signing," with the red carpet? Does every WWE match have a contract, or just special ones? Is there a contract for the random Spike Dudley v. Val Venis match? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 28, 2004 well...consider that every match during the attitude era was "impromptu"...I doubt it. I guess only the major marketed matches are... I'm guessing we are supposed to assume that by signing a contract with WWE in general means it covers every match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, he owned Turner Broadcasting which included TBS, TNT, CNN, Cartoon Network, and Home Video distribution. Turner Broadcasting merged with Time Warner in 1996 and Ted Turner was given a seat on the board. Ted Turner never wanted AOL Time Warner to sell WCW and was mad when they sold it to Vince.
