How long too until we start having WWE make AI generated promos ? They own everyone's likeness due to 2k series

Observer notes:

“The decision was made partially because this year’s WrestleMania made so much money overall in Las Vegas from all sources that they could not make that level of money in New Orleans. The other is that the company loved having it in Las Vegas, because key TKO executives live there and are there and Nick Khan grew up there. The plan is now to run WrestleMania on a regular basis in the city, not necessarily every year, but frequently. The idea is that the city wants to have a major destination sports event every year, and by definition they are looking at the Super Bowl, The Final Four, the College Football national championship final and WrestleMania so would be looking for Mania any year that they don’t have one of the other three events.”
“There is a concert booked at the stadium that has not been announced that makes the moving in and setting up the stadium too tight. Those in charge of the stadium have attempted to move the concert date but the promoters have said that they have a contract for that date and thus far have been unwilling to move."

“The other is that the Las Vegas Convention Center, which hosted fan gatherings, is open for that weekend but does not have the same amount of open space as it had for WWE last month. The other event that has part of the Convention Center booked is also unwilling to move. But they could use less space in the building or move to a different convention center, with the Mandalay Bay being the most likely.”

If they go Vegas on a regular basis then surely they lose a lot of the travelling fans who like going to different cities.

WWE doesn't care about the fans, they've made that pretty clear with decisions like this lately. Its all about the money, the social media clicks, and the news headlines.

A business needs to do what makes the most money. That’s the way it works :toomanykobes

It doesn't actually need to. That's a human construct that's been pushed on the masses by greedy CEOs and repeated by brain-dead , no soul no moral shit bags with a throwaway business degree.

There was a time where the point of a business was to make money while providing excellent products , services and cared about its clients.

Now we got 2 brain cell morons who feel the need to repeat more money good when there more to life and business than this as if they are revealing some great secret of life to us. Like we don't know how additions work

How are some of you this fucking brainwashed that you accept garbage willfully and defend it because "well business gotta make money!" . Fucking dolts

In the words of Henry Ford:

"There is one rule for Industrialists and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible. Nothing can be right in this country until wages are right. The life of business comes forth from the people in orders. The factories are not stopped for lack of money, but for lack of orders, Money loaned at the top means nothing. Money spent at the bottom starts everything."

Unfortunately, the mantra of industry and business in this Crony Capitalism world is "Offer the lowest quality goods/services possible at the most expensive price possible, while paying the lowest wages possible."

They didn’t really fuck a bunch of people. It’s not like the stadium was built and people had tickets and they just made everyone cancel their tickets.

They just said they’re holding Mania there and now they’re not. No one got hurt.

I've literally had people I know express being pissed off because they made tentative plans to go to New Orleans after it was announced because it was more convenient.

WWE fucked over the city of New Orleans who would have benefitted from tourism and, in case you don't know, needs a jump start to their economy wherever they can find it. So yes, people are getting hurt: local businesses.
