[@jrmiles5437]

I think Dana realized it was futile trying to get the older guys to retire. Most of them wouldn’t listen to him and the ones that would eventually ended up coming back or fighting in other promotions, so I think he realized he’s gotta let them do what they’re gonna do and just focus on building the younger guys. IMO

[@SlothMentality]

A pretty solid take.

[@superwhiteboy619]

Also, he was definitely biased towards Chuck and Hughes. One he use to manage and Hughes was one of the first dominant Champs, and dana definitely had a close relationships with alot of thise guys

@@CloudianMH yup

[@TheUndertones559]

The misunderstanding is that Dana wasn’t really trying to get anybody to retire. If he didn’t think they should be fighting anymore he could have just cut them at any time. Dana was trying to lower the fighters negotiating power by publicly stating that they’re washed and should retire. The only result Dana ever cared about was paying less.

[@J98131]

Dan Hardy was absolutely right in calling out Dean for that horrific refereeing, but I do understand that they can't have members of the broadcast interfering with officials in any capacity. Although Dean did approach Hardy and wouldn't have done so if not for pandy conditions.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Dana didn’t even take action against him over this but more so just used it as a warning for the future. He did get fired around a year later over a subsequent verbal altercation with a colleague. I’ll always shake my head at people being in such disbelief or get upset that the most bankable fighters get treated differently than others as if this isn’t the way things go in almost all companies and likely always will. That doesn’t make it right nor make it not suck when it happens but it’s basically just common sense and the way it is likely to go down wherever you work. It will forever be an analysis of what value is attached to somebody and if you print the dollars it should never be a surprise when that person has a really long leash because they account for so much value to a business to be handled in such ways. Doesn’t bother me really
