AS I SEE IT

This week's award for obliviousness goes to Paul Levesque,
in linking WWE even more directly to the White House. On a
recent All In podcast (irony probably not intended) Paul
Levesque indicated: "When it comes to politics, it’s
amazing to me when I walk through the White House — the over
last few months I’ve been there quite a few times — how many
people in the White House are huge fans of WWE.: For
anyone not aware, Levesque is involved the White House's
initiative to Make America Fit Again, and is a member of the
President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. He's
been involved to the point that he didn't attend the
Saturday Night Main Event a week ago Saturday.
So he's tying WWE even more directly to this Administration
at a time where the shutdown has resulted in millions of
Federal employees not being paid in a month...to the point
those employees are forced to go to food banks, and fear
losing their homes to foreclosure. He's doing so with a
shutdown resulting in up to 42 million Americans not
receiving at least some of their SNAP benefits for part or
all of this month, with them eventually only receiving any
of it because Federal Courts are forcing the Administration
to do so.
Even when Vince McMahon ran WWE (and while contributing
millions to Trump's campaigns), he knew that publicly
linking the company to the Trump Administration was bad for
business.
Then there's the continued story of TKO and Ridge Holland.
Holland tweeted last Tuesday to say he felt “hung out to
dry” by WWE and that he never thought he would be unable to
pay his mortgage: “I feel like I’ve just been hung out to
dry after getting injured working for another company on
behalf of WWE. Add to that my contract not being renewed
knowing that I wouldn’t be able to wrestle for 7 months.
This is brutal. Yes they are taking care of the surgery and
physical therapy but let’s be honest, that’s the bare
minimum after what we sacrifice for the company. Plus the
possibility of having to get my neck fused too. Talk about
getting totally f*cked.”
Was there a reason that TKO couldn't have helped Holland?
No. But instead, WWE retaliated last Wednesday by ending his
contract early, taking away a further nine days of pay from
Holland. Meanwhile, on literally the same day, TKO reported
third quarter revenue on November 5 of $1.120 billion (with
WWE revenue up 23%) with an overall net income of $106.8
million.
Much like the practice of TKO's ally in Washington: the
cruelty appears to be the thing.
It would be bad enough to say this was only a result of the
TKO takeover and that Holland's was a one-time situation.
But as Nattie Neidhart recently revealed in her 'The Last
Heart Beating' biography, that when TJ Wilson suffered a
devastating spinal cord injury at the C1 vertebra, an injury
with a 5% survival rate after a bad bump following a muscle
buster, Vince McMahon didn't reach out to him to see if he
was okay.
WWE also made clear after a letter asking for help, the
couple was told that Nattie's job was also at risk if they
continued to ask for an apology or talk about what happened,
even within the locker room. However, after eight months,
Vince McMahon reversed the company's stand and reached out
to Wilson, presumably due to guidance from WWE lawyers.
So, there are those for whom cruelty is, and was the thing.
But there are also those who help...
For the last ten years, AS I SEE IT has reported on how the
independent wrestling community reached out to those in
need. Independent promotions throughout the United States
and Canada held events to help their communities during the
Holiday season through wrestling shows, Comic-Cons, playing
video games,10-day marathons sitting on top of a trailer,
bowling parties, online trivia contests, chicken BBQ's,
portrait sittings, Twitch streams, and a dozen other means.
In all those events, they asked fans to do one small thing.
Just "one small thing". But that "one small thing" meant the
world to someone you will never meet.
One can of soup meant that someone was fed for a meal. One
box of rice meant that a family was fed for a week or more.
One warm coat meant an older person won't shiver
uncontrollably when they walk to the market or to a doctor's
appointment.
One toy meant that a child is allowed a moment of innocence
and joy, often the same child who has gone through fear and
deprivation for far too long.
One "small thing" that was anything but small.
It's important because even the smallest act of kindness can
change a life.
The Holidays this year are a time where the government
shutdown has resulted in up to 42 million Americans not
receiving some or all of their SNAP benefits on time.
The Administration as of last Thursday refused to use
contingency money available to cover such situations. Even
if there is eventually a resolution, the "best case
scenario" proposed Trump budget as it exists will result in
4 million losing SNAP benefits. While a Federal Judge
ordered an immediate release of funds late Thursday, we all
know how this Administration treats judicial orders it
doesn't like. While some states have indicated they received
and distributed funds for November on Friday; Donald Trump
was granted an emergency request with the Supreme Court
Friday evening to temporarily halt the funding at least
until an Appeals Court in full decided. Trump then demanded
the governors "undo" the benefits sent. The Governors
ignored him.
Even with this, there have been bureaucratic issues causing
some recipients not to receive their November payments in
those states.
Votes took place Sunday night in the Senate as part of a
process that could eventually restore SNAP benefits and end
the shutdown. But it's a process that will take time to
complete...if the legislation even passes both houses of
Congress, which is far from certain. Meanwhile, people will
go hungry. People don't eat in the long run, they eat
everyday.
Then, there are the skyrocketing costs of healthcare plans
purchased under the ACA. Congress has failed to reauthorize
subsidies for these plans, causing costs for many to double
or triple. This will result in some choosing between health
care and food, and in too many cases not having enough money
to afford one or both.
All this means children have been going hungry. It means
that at a time like this, every can, every box, every can,
box or bag of food may be the only thing that keeps people
from starvation.
Prior to this year...in the last five non-COVID years
(excluding 2020 and 2021), the independents that have
provided information to this blog have raised $1,069,520
US in cash donations, collected 53,544 pounds (nearly
27 tons) of canned and non-perishable food and 58,964
toys.... acts of kindness seemingly beyond measure.
Yet with the current regime in Washington, far, far more of
these acts of kindness will be needed this Holiday season
from every private source possible to help the hungry, the
sick, the cold, the homeless, LGBT people, sexual/domestic
violence victims, animal welfare, and too many more causes.
Indies, it's time to start planning what you can do NOW.
Fans, if your local indie hasn't scheduled or announced an
event or events for the Holiday season, ask them why. Better
yet, offer to help them organize one. It may well be you
that needs help tomorrow.
Thus far, 116 indie promotions have scheduled a total
of 170 shows and events through the end of the
Holiday Season.
Total contributions as of November 10 are 426 toys,
112 backpacks/sets of school supplies, 2 boxes of
bedclothes/linens 20 Halloween outfits, 20,597 pounds
(over 10 TONS) of canned/non-perishable food, and
$511,187.51 US in cash donations.
