Why did they kick him out?
Wale more than likely got that cleared and was trying to actually get a job too
fukked up situation all around, but isn't this the second or third time he's sworn he was going to stop fukking with them due to some sort of disrespect? At some point, breh just gotta accept that this is who they are. fukk with wrestling companies that seem like they might be happy about fukking with you.
Also, for a guy that's supposed to be about his business, using so much stuff from a publicly traded company and thinking it's gonna slide on some "I'm just paying homage" shyt is unacceptable. Anyone could've told him some version of this day was going to come. Preferably not in such a terribly petty way, but still.
It's because corporate IP/copyright law enforcement is all about precedent. If you sue someone for using your product without proper licensing, their defense will absolutely try to go and find the highest profile examples of someone else blatantly using your IP without permission and you not doing anything about it in order to make the argument that you don't actually care about the IP being used exclusively by you as you say you do. So as a result, IP holders are effectively forced to hit any and everybody they can in order to protect themselves from when someone legitimately rips their shyt off.
But what makes this unique case look funny in the light is that it's not like he was inaccessible to have a simple conversation about cutting that shyt out, or even just paying proper licensing fees, since he was just using photos and audio clips. And even then, issuing a C&D doesn't really require him getting kicked out of a show.

Strong posting - hadn't thought about it from that angle. The law is still an ass, eh.

Because the wrestlers themselves regardless of affiliation seem to be cool with it, so in Gunn's mind, if Ted DiBiase has no problem with it, then why does WWE?
They're both wrong for different reasons: Gunn, legal reasons, WWE, moral reasons and both seem to be fine being wrong.
Ted DiBiase himself could fukk around and get hemmed up for showing up somewhere in character as Ted DiBiase without the proper approval, since he doesn't have the rights to the character. Him being cool with it doesn't mean shyt.
Breh basically thought he had the equivalent of a handshake deal, without so much as a handshake, or even an awkwardly staged photo with Triple H pointing at him after they bonded over how awesome they think using Nazi adjacent iconography is.

Just learned that Westside Gunn and Benny the Butcher are both older than me. They should be more concerned with their applications to the Larry Holmes Gardens being approved than being kicked out of WWE shows. Look at the views from the Gardens:
Seems better than being in a crowd of Beards and Piffy Boy stooges.
