TheKTC Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hey guys, Hoping for an answer regarding scandals: Recently in my promotion, Gorilla Monsoon went to the press saying that everyone was smoking crack backstage, or something. The resulting scandal is preventing me from negotiating new TV deals. The message says it won't blow over for more than a year. Is there any way out of this or is my promotion going dark for a year-plus? That seems a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that does sound a bit steep. I could see bigger broadcasters not being willing to renew TV deals, but you would think smaller broadcasters wouldn't mind taking the risk as there have always been TV stations that looked at wrestling as easy money (especially those that required wrestling shows to pay for the air time).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKTC Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I was also fond of Monsoon, until he started snitching. I'll press on and see if the heat dies down. I'll post the result, if no one else shares a similar experience before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKTC Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Resolution If anyone is experiencing a similar scenario and is looking for an answer: I had the scandal in May; it initially said it would take more than a year to blow over; I was able to negotiate new TV contracts in Sept.; I'm now told there are 12 months before the scandal blows over completely.
