Christian quits WWE
Trauma-san:
Oh, and your comment about Hogan walking out for similar events... he never walked out the night before a ppv, that's bullshit and you know it. Your small mind also missed my entire fucking point about "they didn't tell Austin he was gonna job..." etc. When Hogan comes in, and doesn't want to job, he says "Vince, right now, a month before the PPV, I'm telling you I'm not gonna job. If you want me to win the PPV, that's fine, lets do it. If you want me to job, I'm not going to show up" and everything's understood while they still have a chance to change things. Hulk Hogan has never held Vince up for money, and has never held Vince up for shit like Austin pulled Monday. Austin had a problem with jobbing, but didn't tell anybody about it until the fucking NIGHT BEFORE THE PPV. Think about that shit. what a bitch.

Hey Trauma, go read up about Wrestlemania 9 and why exactly Hogan won the belt that night.
As for Vince, give me a break, he has done things just as bad as it would be for the wrestlers to screw him. Remember Bret Hart? Just the other week he used a real life operation JR was going to have as an angle to make him look funny. He fired Dawn Marie while she was pregnant. All those wrestlers you speak of that owe him their livelyhood; look at most of the 80s wrestlers now. The ones that are still alive are drug using slobs living in the poor house. Why? Because they spent their youth breaking their backs for Vince McMahon to make money and build his empire. George Scott who was the head booker during the Wrestlemania 1 and 2 era said that the WWF would pull in 2 million dollars a weekend. The wrestlers would get $1,500 to $2,000 a week and all their expenses were not covered. The wrestlers had to pay for their food, shelter, and transportation. They took steroids because Vince only pushed the bigger guys and took pain killers to be able to keep working because if they took time off Vince wouldn't always keep their push going when they came back and he wouldn't pay them when they were gone. Guys like Jim Duggan, Rick Rude, Jake Roberts, Tito Santana, Ray Traylor, Curt Hennig etc don't owe McMahon a God Damn thing. If used them for his personal gain and then kicked them to the curb when he didn't need them anymore. You think these guys have/had pensions?
WCW was the best thing that ever happened to the Wrestlers and wrestlers like Hogan, Nash, Luger, and Savage ruined that. Ted Turner leaving for better things didn't help either.

If Dawn Marie got pregnant, why should they keep her on the payroll?

Because the law requires you too. It's against the laaw to fire a women for being pregnant, and very hard to fire a pregnant women for anything. There was an actress that left her soap opera for Beverly Hills 90210. She got pregnant and Aaron Spelling fired her. She hadn't even filmed a single episode yet. She took Spelling to court and won 5 million dollars.
I'm not sure why Dawn isn't sueing. Maybe she's waiting for the baby to be born.
Sikoticâ„¢:
No, it's because they gave her the opportunity to come back after she's had her baby. If they fire people because of injuries (i.e. Test) then a pregnant woman is nothing to them.
