LOL, this is such a tri-state area thing! Even Catholic bros doing noora kushti fundraiser. Giving like 3 new meanings to the phrase Turn the other cheek. 🤣
But seriously, NY-NJ-CT has a very long and storied history of small scale pro wrestling. Why WWE was born here.

I often use the Monday Night Wars as a Marketing case in class. One student, who came from a family of wrestlers, nailed it when he said the tri-state market being so solid & lucrative is why even Ted Turner could not defeat Vince McMahon. "rasslin can never beat wrestling".
The story of the rise, fall, and rise of the WWE is such a classic Strategy case, where a lot of textbook business and economics principles play out.
When wrestling goes from regional models to one big national behemoth, oh course it's the richest market whose player grows.

Oh the replies and the QTs on this are fascinating! Already over a quarter million impressions. It's gonna be interesting comparing the results with my "BJP will lose UP" tweets.
I was looking up the U.P. tweet numbers and back then I had 23K followers. Now it's 33K. In 9 months. 40% jump, a lot of it thanks to these #qtbait experiments. The graph of follower surges is punctuated by "hot take" tweets. You see my point about social strategy?
Exactly! I'm not even being cagey or obtuse or over the top. I am EXPLICITLY saying hello hello people look at this example of the effectiveness of putting #qtbait out there people feel compelled to disagree with. How easy that game is. My

The XFL's unsecured creditors are objecting to the proposed $15M sale to The Rock because it includes the assignment of all claims belonging to the XFL. There are over $61M in potentially voidable transfers, such as payments made to insiders (including $1.2M to Vince McMahon).
Other potentially voidable transfers include a $5M payment to Raine Advisors LLC during the preference period (90-day period prior to bankruptcy) to satisfy an obligation on which Vince McMahon was jointly liable. If the sale is approved, McMahon would be released from this debt.
"The Committee has identified substantial potential causes of action against insiders, including millions of dollars in payments made within the 1-year insider preference period, and questionable loan transactions within the days and weeks leading up to the bankruptcy."
See this for what it is @MaajidNawaz. Through @datasociety, the activist @beccalew becomes the ‘researcher’ @beccalew. Her methodology? *Selectively* presenting linkages to create a fictional Alternative influencer Network as if it arose from data.
This the Gated Institutional Narrative in action. ‘Researchers’ at institutions like @splcenter & @datasociety release reports to institutional media which is gated so as to avoid exposing activism packaged as methodical research. This leads to invite-only institutional meetings.
The invite-only ‘blue-ribbon’ institutional meetings at places like The National Academy of Sciences hand pick ‘experts’ and ‘stakeholders’ while excluding critics so that policy recommendations can be issued based on the agenda backed by the ‘research’ which was actually cover.
