Marvel Studios Is Screwed: Jonathan Majors Situation

Leave a comment

This might be a worst-case scenario situation for Marvel. Jonathan Majors is now tied to an alleged assault of a woman. Obviously, more details will come out soon and since I wasn’t there, I can’t comment on how true or not true this is, but Marvel is in a bad situation either way. There are many social issues at play right now and Marvel has been kowtowing to the Woke mob, which resulted in a massive loss of revenue and this situation could potentially cripple them in the public eye.

The Disney World Parks are filled with “Celebrate HerStory” because we are in Women’s History Month. Disney got rid of Johnny Depp over allegations that were proven to be false and did it under the umbrella of the “Me Too” movement and showing how much they believe women when they tell tales of abuse.

Now let’s talk race for a moment. Very quickly, I want to talk about Ja Morant, an NBA player who was under investigation for playing with a gun while drunk in a night club. Morant has bee suspended a couple of games by his team and has attended a theory session to discuss this. The comments I’ve seen with this story are:

“If he was white this wouldn’t have happened”

“Y’all are just trying to take a young black man down”

“White people celebrating too much”

Of course, this isn’t every comment in the world, but there is an alarming amount of comments race based on that situation and there will be even more with the Majors one. Marvel has gone all in on hiring black actors and race changing many white characters to kowtow to the Woke mob on representation. Marvel and Disney have gone out of their way to scold fans who dislike the changes and expressed their desire for diversity.

Majors is in a very simple situation. Either he assaulted the woman or he didn’t and Majors is just a victim of someone wanting a pay day or to ruin his reputation. More details on this case will come out very soon, but it doesn’t sound good in my opinion, since he was arrested on the spot and it was in an apartment, where there might not be any witnesses.

What does Marvel do about this? You can’t appease to both sides of the Woke mob and come out on top. There is still a large number of people who support Amber Heard, citing a patriarchal law system that protects men and demonizes women who speak up. If Majors is found innocent, they’ll say he paid the woman off.

I imagine the race card will be thrown around a lot if he is fired. Citing is he was white this would’ve been swept under the rug like many other Hollywood actors who have been accused on much worse.

Marvel should be preparing a statement which I imagine will sound a little like this, “We are aware of the incident surrounding Jonathan Majors and decline to comment until the facts come to light” anything else will be shooting themselves in the foot. I don’t know how this situation will turn out, but all I can say is that its going to expose Marvel in ways they didn’t expect.

Control Your Narrative Promotion?

Leave a comment

When I first heard of the Control Your Narrative movement, I thought this was just a wrestling faction, but I later learned this is going to be a new failing company in the world of wrestling. The company’s 3 main stars are EC3, Killer Kross (Karrion Kross) and Adam Scherr (Braun Strowman). In their mission statement, the men explained what the company is. They first took shots are shareholders and billionaire owners.  Saying that owners collect wrestlers like “toys”. Clearly these men have never ran a company before. The “toys” they are talking about are employees, not friends and not members of a bigger picture. If a wrestler or “toy” is not putting in the work, not loved by the fans and making for lower ratings, then a change will be made. That’s running a business.

The letter than goes on to name drop popular wrestlers that have joined the company. Names like Moose, Matt Sydal, Matt Cardona and some no names. Now, are you telling me that Moose, a superstar in Impact Wrestling who is probably being paid very well, is planning on leaving Impact to join this company?

Who’s paying for this? You don’t have a billionaire owner like Tony Khan or Vince McMahon, you don’t have or want shareholders, so where is the money coming from? The top 3 wrestlers starting this company I imagine have some savings, so they can go a little while without getting a regular paycheck, but the others can’t. Matt Sydal was never a “run the company” wrestler. He has been bouncing around from company to company since he left the WWE. And more importantly, why would he want to leave AEW in any capacity?

I don’t know what to think about this company after reading this letter. I’m very confused with a lot of wrestling companies these days. The WWE looks like the only real wrestling company and the others are just all working together in some way.

Jon Moxley still does shows in Japan and backyard wrestling promotions, but still works for AEW. This move I find incredibly stupid because why would AEW be ok with letting one of their most popular wrestlers go to other places? More importantly, Mox went to some unknown company for his first match after rehab, kinda dulling the moment of his return. Why would Impact Wrestling be ok with Moose playing in this other company. If he gets hurt that’s a MAJOR blow to your company.

The whole promotion just seems like a great faction idea, one that would thrive on grabbing wrestlers who are lost or on losing streaks to be more, but as a company they are failing before they even got started. My prediction gets stronger when I read their website. Apparently, if I’m reading this wrong, fights (not matches) are decided by Tap Out, Knock Out or Can’t Stand……so not wrestling. Is this a better version of Raw Underground?

Another section of the website says “FTN blends professional wrestling, cinema, and harsh reality”. The cinema part throws me off. Because they are going to have live crowds. Are these planned out fist fights? I HATED the cinematic matches during the Pandemic Era for the WWE. I thought nothing had to change with the style, just put on great matches and you captures your audience interest.

If I was running this show, the first thing I would do is write up a REAL mission statement of their promotion, take it to Rumble and do shows exclusively on there. Rumble was ready to give Joe Rogan $200 million dollars to be exclusively there. I wonder how much they would pay for the exclusive rights to a wrestling promotion? I wouldn’t do shows on the road. Like NXT, I would do shows exclusively in one location. Buy a simple warehouse or property you can make into an arena and that solves where it would be. I would put the arena somewhere in the South or mid-West because it’s cheaper to buy property there. Maybe one day take the show on the road, but when you’re stating a new company saving money is key.

The next step does against everything they believe in, getting shareholders. They NEED some big money bankrolling this operation. Let’s say if the Rumble deal happens, they give, let’s say 10 million dollars, you still have a lot of things to buy. The biggest would be the location. I saw just use one because you don’t have to worry about costs of travel and you can control the environment more than using someone else’s building.  

Getting wrestlers shouldn’t be that difficult. Yes, I crapped on Sydal before, but he’s a good wrestler. Not someone who can lead the company, but a suitable wrestler. Moose would be way out of their pay range, but Cardona might be a great addition. The 3 creators would be taking a pay cut for the first few months so that’ll save some money. There are a ton of unknown wrestlers and released wrestlers looking for a shot to be on tv again. If anything, this new promotion might be a way to help them. But that would be a WRESTLING promotion and not a….whatever this is.

I don’t think the Control Your Narrative promotion will be a success. The idea is enough to get some early viewers, but this doesn’t seem realistic and will fail pretty soon.
