Shit like this is why I don't feel bad at all for pirating.
They raise their rates by 65% so they can continue to pay Hollywood actors to make crappy forgettable movies for the service
Don't forget the 5 BILLION dollars they just gave to WWE, a company that regularly goes to Saudi Arabia. A country so backwards in human rights that they don't allow women to work. So WWE's answer to this was to create a tornament just for the women. Called "The Great Moolah Classic". Only problem with that is, it happened just as the MeToo movement was happening. Now in case you're unaware, womens pro wrestling from the 1950s through the 1980s was dominated by "The Great Moolah".
Btw, I'M not saying she was great. Far from it. Thats just her stage name.
But if you were a woman, and you wanted to get into womens wrestling between 1950-1985 you NEEDED to go through The Great Moolah. Here's the problem though.
You had to live in a camp, where she controlled every aspect of your life from training through retirement. What she did with this control was appalling. She forced them to prostitute themselfs out to not only the male wrestlers, but also the rest of the general public in the area.
These women then had to give 100% of the money to Moolah, or else they'd be beaten.
And that's the tornament they tried to give as the consolation prize for women not being allowed to wrestle in Saudi Arabia. Oh, and when they were forced to change the name, almost IMMEDIATELY, they changed it to The Mae Young Classic. Mae Young was Moolah's best friend, and one of the people who would help beat the other women. That's still what it's called today. When they first introduced the trophy for it, the trophy was intentionally made to look like a vagina. "Here's your make believe trophy for winning a make believe tornament, as a consolation prize for very real restrictions on making very real money, and we shaped it like your genitals. Snickers, who sponsered the tornament balked when they saw their logo would be on that trophy, and they were forced to redesign it to something more generic. The tornament continues to this day.
And that's what Netflix just paid 5 BILLION dollars for. Either 3 or 5 years. I forget which.
Holy shit, do you have some more info or refs for this, this sounds unbelievably fucked up.
From the book The Chronicles of Mad Maxine and from Dark Side of the Ring S01E06.
Disclaimer: I only know what I just looked up. Not a big wrestling watcher personally.
From what I can tell there's two separate titles. The Mae Young Classic had two tournaments in 2017 & 2018. The Great Moolah was announced in 2018, subsequently changing the name to WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal. It also has only had two tournaments, in 2018 & 2019.
As for the logo/trophy, WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal looks like this, and the Mae Young Classic looks like this. I couldn't find any info on previous versions, but if there was one that looked more like a vagina, it might as well be an anatomical model.
Care to share what site you use to pirate? I haven't been in that loop for a while, but all these pricing increases for all these streaming services is driving me back.
In before "Removed by Mod"
Whoops, am I not supposed to?
Lemmy.World defederated from an instance known as the instance that has all the piracy. Then pushback from the userbase caused them to refederate. Then they defederated a SECOND time. Despite pushback from users AGAIN theystay defederated from them to this day.
So it wouldn't surprise me if they removed it.
Check out FMHY (Free Media Heck Yeah) they have a subreddit (I think) and a website. There's absolutely everything there for pirating.
links to pirate pretty much anything
123moviestv.net , bflixhd.to, yts.mx look for them through yandex search engine and not the google , google blocks them

Kodi and RealDebrid
Do it, do it! One of us, one of us! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I love seeing the private trackers I use not mentioned here. If other sites have the spotlight, that's a win.
May I ask why you pirate crappy forgettable movies?
