Tons of stuff is going to keep coming out from the Vince vs. Warrior lawsuit so I figured one thread for that stuff. It will be a continuation from where we left off - the SummerFest 91 payroll - discussed here:

midwestsportsfan.freeforums.net/thread/716/real-payoff-sheet-summerfest-1991

This week, they have a letter from Vince to Warrior in which Vince suspends him for 90 days:

If you're a numbers geek like me, follow this guy. Chris Harrington ‏@mookieghana I'm a stat geek and he is our leader, but for rasslin. Used to know him fairly well on the observer board in 2007-08. He coined the term wrestlenomics and has a blog and podcast about the economics of wrestling, etc. Detailed analysis of the shareholder meetings, press releases, any corporate info type stuff.

For example. Line graphs for wwe attendance. stuff like that.

He wrote a piece predicting 650,000 network subscribers and it came in at 667,287, so the guy knows his stuff.

Warrior's Letter to Vince docs.google.com/viewer?srcid=0B-NNkZSWAAYlMDMyQ1VIVVMxaUk&pid=explorer&efh=false&a=v&chrome=false&embedded=true

Vince's Reply to Warrior drive.google.com/file/d/0B-NNkZSWAAYlT3NEZ1puVkpLakk/preview?pli=1

"For those who aren't aware, Ultimate Warrior more-or-less held Summer Slam 1991 hostage demanding that he should be paid more than any other superstar (forever), have an increase in royalties on merchandise sold as well as a skew of other ridiculous, unheard of, demands. Vince agreed to the terms (he really didn't have a choice) prior to Summer Slam to ensure that the show, and it's main event, would happen"
