Oliver Is there any ░░░░░░░░ here Well incredibly there ░░░░░░░░ be Because there is ░░░░░░░░ group that even McMahon ░░░░░░░░ seems to listen to ░░░░░░░░ that s the fans ░░░░░░░░ actually have a strong ░░░░░░░░ voice in the WWE ░░░░░░░░ have been vocal over ░░░░░░░░ years about everything from ░░░░░░░░ company s dealings with ░░░░░░░░ Arabia to its treatment ░░░░░░░░ female wrestlers who have ░░░░░░░░ a long way from ░░░░░░░░ old days of so ░░░░░░░░ bra and panty matches ░░░░░░░░ fact fans online launched ░░░░░░░░ hashtag GiveDivasAChance campaign to ░░░░░░░░ women more prominently to ░░░░░░░░ Vince himself responded We ░░░░░░░░ you Keep watching And ░░░░░░░░ week for the first ░░░░░░░░ ever Wrestlemania will be ░░░░░░░░ by a women s ░░░░░░░░ So wrestling fans don ░░░░░░░░ just go along with ░░░░░░░░ the company tells them ░░░░░░░░ cheer and boo They ░░░░░░░░ what they like and ░░░░░░░░ as importantly what they ░░░░░░░░ t like For instance ░░░░░░░░ WWE tried for years ░░░░░░░░ years to make Roman ░░░░░░░░ a superstar hero on ░░░░░░░░ level of The Rock ░░░░░░░░ fans just didn t ░░░░░░░░ him and they let ░░░░░░░░ and the WWE know ░░░░░░░░ that And keep in ░░░░░░░░ as you watch this ░░░░░░░░ Reigns is supposed to ░░░░░░░░ a good guy clip ░░░░░░░░ Crowd chanting F ck ░░░░░░░░ Roman Crowd booing Crowd ░░░░░░░░ Assh le Crowd chanting ░░░░░░░░ sucks Crowd chanting Go ░░░░░░░░ clip ends Oliver They ░░░░░░░░ him non stop for ░░░░░░░░ minutes And you might ░░░░░░░░ that s harsh but ░░░░░░░░ think that was the ░░░░░░░░ rational response to someone ░░░░░░░░ permanently wet hair How ░░░░░░░░ it always be wet ░░░░░░░░ look like a pedophile ░░░░░░░░ for a jog Boo ░░░░░░░░ So so the fans ░░░░░░░░ a big voice here ░░░░░░░░ s the point And ░░░░░░░░ really care about these ░░░░░░░░ and continue to do ░░░░░░░░ long after the WWE ░░░░░░░░ abandoned them and nowhere ░░░░░░░░ the extent of this ░░░░░░░░ more obvious than when ░░░░░░░░ wrestler Jake the Snake ░░░░░░░░ help paying for medical ░░░░░░░░ clip starts UNKNOWN Jake ░░░░░░░░ no insurance He didn ░░░░░░░░ have any money to ░░░░░░░░ for the surgery so ░░░░░░░░ had to come up ░░░░░░░░ some kind of solution ░░░░░░░░ we we put up ░░░░░░░░ page on Indiegogo to ░░░░░░░░ to raise the money ░░░░░░░░ his surgery ROBERTS UN ░░░░░░░░ cking real UNKNOWN Holy ░░░░░░░░ ROBERTS 7 000 DDP ░░░░░░░░ one night But the ░░░░░░░░ cool thing that came ░░░░░░░░ of that was Jake ░░░░░░░░ to see how much ░░░░░░░░ fans really cared ROBERTS ░░░░░░░░ those years ago I ░░░░░░░░ they did mean something ░░░░░░░░ ends Oliver Yeah Those ░░░░░░░░ meant a lot of ░░░░░░░░ That s why they ░░░░░░░░ him and other wrestlers ░░░░░░░░ be taken care of ░░░░░░░░ have actually been multiple ░░░░░░░░ campaigns to cover both ░░░░░░░░ and funeral expenses for ░░░░░░░░ that fans have stepped ░░░░░░░░ for which is heartwarming ░░░░░░░░ frankly fans shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ the ones shouldering that ░░░░░░░░ Here s how bad ░░░░░░░░ is Even the NFL ░░░░░░░░ all its massive faults ░░░░░░░░ offers players health reimbursement ░░░░░░░░ and have established a ░░░░░░░░ fund for older players ░░░░░░░░ may be dealing with ░░░░░░░░ issues And when you ░░░░░░░░ lost the moral high ░░░░░░░░ to the f cking ░░░░░░░░ you are morally subterranean ░░░░░░░░ here is where the ░░░░░░░░ opportunity is because remember ░░░░░░░░ the biggest event in ░░░░░░░░ WWE s calendar is ░░░░░░░░ Sunday And if fans ░░░░░░░░ that arena want McMahon ░░░░░░░░ help pay for wrestlers ░░░░░░░░ term health care or ░░░░░░░░ to call them employees ░░░░░░░░ could say Choose to ░░░░░░░░ up a chance about ░░░░░░░░ The event is live ░░░░░░░░ crowd is miked they ░░░░░░░░ t be able to ░░░░░░░░ the chance out I ░░░░░░░░ not saying that fans ░░░░░░░░ do that or make ░░░░░░░░ or make lots of ░░░░░░░░ I m just saying ░░░░░░░░ really hope they make ░░░░░░░░ voices heard on this ░░░░░░░░ given that business hulk ░░░░░░░░ is a billionaire on ░░░░░░░░ broken backs of his ░░░░░░░░ employees The very least ░░░░░░░░ can do is show ░░░░░░░░ same dedication to wrestlers ░░░░░░░░ they have shown to ░░░░░░░░ company And I know ░░░░░░░░ I haven t really ░░░░░░░░ any of this tonight ░░░░░░░░ the preferred language of ░░░░░░░░ fans so maybe this ░░░░░░░░ help clip starts UNKNOWN ░░░░░░░░ fans you ve cheered ░░░░░░░░ Royal Rumble at Hell ░░░░░░░░ a Cell you killed

comfortably bending ░░░░░░░░ knees past a 90 ░░░░░░░░ angle and spending quality ░░░░░░░░ with their grandchildren You ░░░░░░░░ see all this and ░░░░░░░░ The system was put ░░░░░░░░ place that gave
