Thread 19236287

WWE offered him a three year contract and he insisted he only wanted one year instead.

>>19236287 (OP)
bet he wishes he didn't turn down all that employment now

>>19236287 (OP)
Huh? So he admits to being a retard that gets paid more than most normal working folk and chooses 1 year over 3 years of consistent pay and work?

>>19236304
Yes, and he'd still be getting paid right now if his contract hadn't run out.

>>19236287 (OP)
This nigga RETIRED Big E and can't draw a fly to shit
It's absurd he thought he had any room to negotiate. I'm shocked they were willing to keep him around in the first place.

>>19236287 (OP)
What's with these jobbers trying to negotiate

>>19236287 (OP)
out of all the wrestlers fired in 2025 i genuinely don’t know why WWE would negotiate even slightly to keep this retard

>>19236287 (OP)
i've read the reddit threads. i've seen jinder's tweet. i've read the comments here... and not one (1) motherfucker has given specific numbers. what is their salary, what are their expenses? for fuck's sake.

>Holland’s prior deal paid between $350,000 and $500,000 annually, meaning his 55% pay reduction brought his salary down to roughly $157,750–$225,000. As previously mentioned, a GoFundMe campaign was launched to support Holland, which has raised $9,512 of its $60,000 goal. Among those who have donated are Chelsea Green, Raj Dhesi, Nick Jackson, Omos, and Kyle Fletcher.
how much is this guy's mortgage lmao

>>19236287 (OP)
Imagine donating someone one thousand dollars and defending them and they repay you with “HEY SHUT UP I’M ACTUALLY A MORON”.

>>19236433
I will assume he got to the main roster and then saw the money go up so got a nice, big house in some nice Florida area. Then he got demoted, took a pay cut so he could at least keep making money and then gets injured and released right after, so no more money for a while, even if WWE will cover the medical.

>>19236433
did this nigga buy a castle

>>19236287 (OP)
...but he knew his contract would be up in one year

>>19236287 (OP)
Is ridge holland dexter lumis who got a new name on the main roster? I can't follow all these white vanilla shitters.

>>19236608
Hell no nigga lumis isnt an unsafe whiner

>>19236287 (OP)
>They notified me that my contract that would be up in a year was up after a year

No fucking way, dude. Unless this retard thought they'd give him a new contract out of pity where he'd have to sit at home for a year?

>>19236584
he wanted to work on the lowball offer for a year then presumable get a raise. Sounds like he took a huge gamble and instead of even entertaining they just cut him. These dudes need to realize Vince isn't in charge anymore

>>19236287 (OP)
he looks even more retarded every time he says something. i can't imagine what 1 year deal he negotiated, i don't think WWE would give him the same or more money in 1 year than what they offered for 3.

he keeps complaining that he got injured in a TNA show like he was being used in multiple shows a week. The spot on TNA was WWE doing him a favor.

>>19236631
Vince would've cut this worthless shitter too, what's your point?

>>19236344
He should make a tag team with Karrion can call in The Kwab Squad.

>>19236639
>he sounds more retarded every time he speaks
Facts. And I say that as a guy who was a fan of his.

>>19236287 (OP)
>I turned down a 3 year deal for 50% less and negotiated a 1 year deal for 50% less so I wouldn't be tied to them. Now I'm complaining they didn't renew me past that one year, and didn't give me a longer deal you idiot!

>>19236418
>>19236433
I'm failing to find it but I remember Orton doing an interview that was pretty blunt and simple: Unless you're clearing seven figures or have a working spouse to split it with, you have absolutely no business having a mortgage until you've signed your second main roster contract.

>>19236287 (OP)
>Negotiated himself a shorter contract
>Cries about his short contract not being renewed
What a fucking retard. If he wanted out so badly after that first year then why the hell is he complaining now that they're honoring that decision?

>>19236674
Wrestlers are all really stupid and if they've been working the indies and developmental only, they haven't seen WWE type money in their lives, so they spend it all on stupid shit even if they're lower card jobbers

Then they spend the rest of their lives doing contract signings and indie dates, it's some grim shit

>>19236677
He thought that after one year he would've raised his stock enough that they would offer him a bigger deal

Because being sent back to developmental and asked to take a paycut is definitely a sign that a company has future plans for you

All this happened because Big E sandbagged him

>>19236730
Even if he never dumped Big E on top of his head the dude was always gonna be a jobber

>>19236433
>raised $9,512 of its $60,000 goal
kwab

>>19236287 (OP)
Ridge is no gooker that’s for damn sure

>>19236433
Donating to a go fund me is an admission of cuckoldry

>>19236287 (OP)
Bro thought he was gonna impress them in NXT and get a renewal and a raise. After he ended someone else's career he didn't realize they were hoping to cut him as soon as possible.

Is extremely dangerous to be this good at psychology

I can only be this good because I never feared malpractice

>On 19 December episode of NXT, Holland returned to the NXT brand where he challenged Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Championship. During the match, an angle was created when Dragunov was stretchered off after Holland suplexed him, emulating his incident with Big E.[44] This led to a storyline where, on 26 March 2024 episode of NXT, Holland announced he would be going on an indefinite hiatus from in-ring competition.[45]

So they demoted him to NXT, made botching part of his gimmick and still he negotiated a shorter contract? Bro.

>>19236433
keep in mind they're contractors, so that doesn't even cover any of his travel, medical and other expenses. he'd basically be working for like 50k/year at that point kek

>>19236721
So he bet on himself, lost, and now wants to renege on his wager? Sucks about the injury but otherwise he can get fucked

>>19236983
>so that doesn't even cover any of his travel,
But he's in NXT, no? Aren't they just running the same venue over and over again? What travel costs would he have apart from the odd PLE?
>medical
How often was he injured during his time? And WWE already is paying for his current stuff according to what I'm reading
>and other expenses
Idk what else it could be, I guess you mean the house. He's still a retard for buying a house way out of his league if it seems to impact him that much

people said the low/mid card guys would be making less now that TKO took over, and all anyone could say in response to that was
>look the top of the card guys are making more now so things aren't gonna get stingy
well well well

>>19236287 (OP)
He didn't "negotiate" anything. He tried to negotiate and failed. Isn't he seriously injured? Why would WWE want to sign him on a 1 year contract when he probably won't be able to wrestle once during it?

I obviously did it on purpose live on an average sized person home

>>19236433
>>19236788
He didn't even make the page, it was his mom and he's gonna donate it all to charity cause he never wanted it.

>>19237038
You are a cuck Holland. Your wife will probably leave you in a year or two for being so retarded

>>19237065
Meds now

>>19237065
You didn't have to kill him like that

>>19236433
A $500,000 dollar home would require around $3,000 a month for the mortgage depending on his down payment. You could get a nice McMansion for that kind of money in the Orlando suburbs.

>>19236788
That is likely his mortgage for 1 year. He must have bought a house that cost $750,000-$1,000,000

>>19236453
>I will assume he got to the main roster and then saw the money go up so got a nice, big house in some nice Florida area.
Why tf are foreigners allowed to buy homes in the US? I remember Steph De Lander saying she had just bought a condo when she was released from WWE

>>19238225
You can own properties in most countries unless it's one of those racist countries like Japan that treat all foreigners like they're animals
