(US News) Yemen PR War: Saudi Arabian Employers U.K./..S. - Duration: 11:36.
Yemen PR Wars: Saudi Arabia Employs U.K./U.S. Firms To Push Multi-Billion Dollar Aid Plan
By Annie Slemrod, IRIN Middle East Editor and Ben Parker, Senior Editor.
This article originally appeared on IRINnews.org, a news agency specialised in reporting humanitarian crises.
Saudi Arabia has recruited an array of foreign consultants and public relations firms to draw up and promote its new multi-billion dollar aid plan for Yemen, one that could reduce imports of vital goods into a key rebel-held port, an IRIN investigation reveals.
Critics say the extent of the PR campaign betrays the kingdom's determination to win the propaganda battle after nearly three years of conflict marked by high civilian casualties, widespread food and fuel shortages, a record cholera epidemic, and fear of famine.
Late last month, Saudi Arabia and its allies announced a new operation that commits billions of dollars "to relieve suffering" in Yemen, which is in the midst of what is often termed the world's largest humanitarian crisis.
The plan, known as Yemen Comprehensive Humanitarian Operations, or YCHO for short, promises $1.5 billion in "new humanitarian funding for distribution across U.N.
agencies and international relief organisations," plus the setting up of "safe passage corridors" to deliver relief, improved capacity at coalition-controlled ports, and regular flights of humanitarian aid to coalition-controlled Marib.
It also includes the $2 billion Saudi Arabia recently said it would deposit in Yemen's Central Bank to shore up a flagging currency.
But the plan rejects calls by the U.N.
to lift an on-off blockade of Hodeidah port, a vital lifeline for civilians in the rebel-held north: it proposes reducing the overall flow of cargo into the city and stepping up imports into coalition-controlled areas.
Exact details of how (and if) the plan is intended to help hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Yemeni civilians – especially in rebel-controlled areas – are not yet clear.
However, IRIN can reveal the lengths Riyadh has gone to in preparing and promoting it.
The press release journalists received announcing the plan came neither from the coalition itself nor from Saudi aid officials.
It came, along with an invitation to visit Yemen, straight from a British PR agency.
U.K.- and U.S.-based consultants and PR firms, including U.S.
defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, were also involved in helping to write and promote YCHO, which is tagged as "counter-terrorism" on a website funded by the kingdom's U.S.
embassy.
A screenshot of Saudi government-funded website Arabia Now All of this has fed suspicions that rather than a genuine attempt to help the people of Yemen, the plan is really intended more to gloss over the Hodeidah issue and improve Saudi Arabia's battered image, or at least a bit of both.
From PowerPoint to press release Two high-placed sources in the U.N.
told IRIN they first learned the particulars of YCHO in a PowerPoint presentation – at the time a "work in progress," according to one of the sources.
A PDF of the presentation, obtained exclusively by IRIN and marked "confidential for discussion," lists one "Nahas, Nicholas [USA]" as the author.
Nahas appears to be an employee of Booz Allen Hamilton, which has 35 job listings in Riyadh on its website, including "military planner", a role that requires the applicant to: "Provide military and planning advice and expertise to support the coordination of Joint counter threat operations executed by coalition member nations and facilitate resourcing to enable operations." IRIN tried emailing and calling Nahas, as well as several Booz Allen Hamilton spokespeople, but none replied.
A switchboard operator at the company's Abu Dhabi office said Nahas was not currently in.
Following the initial PowerPoint presentation (and, IRIN understands, high-level discussions with U.N.
representatives, donors, and diplomats), press releases – including detailed maps and infographics – were sent to journalists by Pagefield Global Counsel, one of several successors to disgraced U.K.
firm Bell Pottinger (Pagefield employs over 20 former Bell Pottinger staff).
IRIN tried to contact the Pagefield associate partner who sent the emails and was involved in arranging a recent press trip to Yemen, but again there was no response.
Metadata in the press release suggests the involvement of another firm as it lists "Madison Clough" as the author.
A woman of the same name is a senior account executive at Qorvis MSLGROUP, one of several PR firms and subcontractors retained by Saudi Arabia to represent it in the United States.
Clough, again, did not reply to IRIN's emailed request for comment.
MSLGROUP's services to Saudi Arabia include web and social media content and over 60 contacts with US-based journalists on Yemen in the six months to 1 October 2017.
The firm, a subsidiary of French PR giant Publicis, booked U.S.
revenue of more than $6 million from the Saudi Arabian embassy over a 12-month period up to September 2017.
The promotion MSLGROUP's involvement with Saudi Arabia and the new plan is hardly a secret: it is visible on the bottom of YCHO's website, yemenplan.org, in a text that reads: "This is distributed by Qorvis MSLGROUP on behalf of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Additional information is available at the Department of Justice, Washington, D.C." The company also runs a website for Saudi Arabia's embassy in the United States, where a press release on the plan can be seen tagged as "counter-terrorism".
In addition to the press releases, the PowerPoint presentation, and the website, the Embassy of Saudi Arabia last week delivered a package containing information on the plan to the offices of major INGOs in the U.K.
as well as to members of the U.K.
parliament.
In the package was a list of YCHO accounts: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Gmail.
At the time of publication, YCHO's Twitter account had about 10,000 followers.
But analyst Marc Owen Jones, a lecturer in Gulf history at the University of Exeter who has researched bot-usage, told IRIN the majority are likely to be fake, intended to inflate the credibility and popularity of the account.
"Previous studies have shown the use of Twitter bots and fake followers to be particularly common in Saudi Arabia," he said.
"On certain days, up to 50 percent of the tweets using the hashtag #Saudi have come from fake (bot) accounts." According to an IRIN tally, almost half of YCHO's followers have less than 10 followers themselves, while some 1,000 followers were accounts created on the same day in 2016 – signs that a significant number of bots or fakes are inflating YCHO's popularity.
The charm offensive organised by Pagefield included a short trip to Yemen for select journalists.
A recent CNN report shows boxes of aid being unloaded from a truck.
They're labelled "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" and bear the logo of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid & Relief Centre.
Similar scenes can be scene on clips on the YCHO website.
"Yemen has always been poor and has long relied on aid from its prosperous northern neighbour," the accompanying text reads.
In a separate short film from Yemen, CNN says the Saudi military flew its team into the country.

TOP 8 Ideas WCW Stole From WWE And 7 Ideas WWE Stole From WCW - [Facts Wrack] - Duration: 19:15.
15.
WCW STOLE FROM WWE: OKLAHOMA — THIEVERY OR MOCKERY?
HOW ABOUT JUST AWFUL.
TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, GENUINE PARODY IS A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT THAN CREATIVE THEFT.
UNFORTUNATELY, WCW'S ANSWER TO JIM ROSS, WRITER-TURNED TERRIBLE WRESTLER ED FERRARA,
ALSO KNOWN AS OKLAHOMA, WAS SO OFFENSIVELY BAD THAT IT HARDLY GETS A PASS FOR ARTISTIC
MERITS.
GOOD OLD JR IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE GREATEST ANNOUNCERS IN WRESTLING HISTORY AND HIS COMMENTARY
WAS ICONIC, SO WE GET WHY WCW WANTED TO AT LEAST REFERENCE IT.
HOWEVER, THEIR VERSION OF JR'S FOLKSY WISDOM WAS SIMPLY A MOCKERY OF HIS BELL'S PALSY,
WITH A BIT OF MISOGYNY THROWN IN FOR KICKS VIA HIS FEUD WITH MADUSA.
OKLAHOMA ALSO HELPED ALONG THE SLOW DEATH OF THE CRUISERWEIGHT DIVISION BY BRIEFLY REIGNING
AS ITS CHAMPION.
THANKFULLY, JR NEVER SANK TO SUCH DEPTHS, BUT THAT SEVERE DEVIANCE FROM THE SOURCE MATERIAL
IS ALSO ANOTHER REASON WHY THE CHARACTER DIDN'T WORK.
14.
WWE STOLE FROM WCW: DEMOLITION WERE THE ROAD WARRIORS.
THIS ENTRY MIGHT FEEL A LITTLE ANACHRONISTIC, BECAUSE THE REIGN OF DEMOLITION, ARGUABLY
WWE'S GREATEST TAG TEAM OF THE '80S, CAME AND WENT BEFORE WCW EVEN EXISTED.
WCW'S ROOTS AS THE NWA NONETHELESS MAKE THIS TOTALLY POSSIBLE.
IN FACT, TED TURNER PURCHASED THE COMPANY ROUGHLY AROUND THE SAME TIME THE AX AND THE
SMASHER BECAME WALKING DISASTERS.
HOWEVER, NEITHER OF THOSE THINGS HAPPENED UNTIL WELL AFTER THE ROAD WARRIORS, HAWK AND
ANIMAL, HAD ALREADY BECOME ICONIC IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.
BIG, MEAN, DONNED IN SPIKY LEATHER, AND WEARING WILD FACE PAINT, DEMOLITION AND THE ROAD WARRIORS
WERE VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL FROM A CHARACTER PERSPECTIVE.
GRANTED, DEMOLITION ALONE IN STEALING THE GIMMICK, AS OTHER TEAMS LIKE THE BLADE RUNNERS,
THE POWERS OF PAIN, AND EVEN MODERN-DAY TEAMS LIKE THE ASCENSION HAVE ALL STOLEN FROM THE
CLASSIC FORMULA.
DEMOLITION WERE DEFINITELY THE MOST SUCCESSFUL OF ALL THESE KNOCK-OFFS, THOUGH, REIGNING
AS WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR RECORD LENGTHS DESPITE CLEARLY BEING NO MORE THAN PALE IMITATIONS
OF AN NWA TEAM.
13.
WCW STOLE FROM WWE: THE ORIGINAL FINGERPOKE OF DOOM.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, ONE OF THE WORST THINGS EVER TO HAPPEN IN WCW WASN'T EVEN THE COMPANY'S
IDEA.
A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN THE MONDAY NIGHT RAW CAME ON JANUARY 4, 1999, WHEN NITRO COUNTERED MANKIND
WINNING THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE SO-CALLED FINGERPOKE OF DOOM.
WHAT THAT MEANS IS HOLLYWOOD HOGAN POKED KEVIN NASH IN THE CHEST TO WIN THE WCW CHAMPIONSHIP
AND REFORM THE NWO, ALSO HITTING THE RESET BUTTON ON THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF OF ALL
MAJOR STORYLINES.
THERE WAS A LOT TO HATE ABOUT HOW THE SEGMENT DISRESPECTED THE BIG GOLD BELT AND MADE EVERYTHING
FANS CARED ABOUT IRRELEVANT, BUT GIVEN THE NATURE OF THIS LIST, WE'LL FOCUS ON THE
FACT IT WASN'T THE FIRST FINGERPOKE OF DOOM IN WRESTLING.
LESS THAN TWO YEARS EARLIER, TRIPLE H AND SHAWN MICHAELS BASICALLY DID THE SAME THING
ON A 1997 EPISODE OF RAW FOR THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP.
THE DIFFERENCE IS, BECAUSE D-GENERATION X WERE DISRESPECTFUL JOKESTERS, IT ACTUALLY
WORKED AND WASN'T JUST STUPID AND EMBARRASSING.
12.
WWE STOLE FROM WCW: THE CRUISER/LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION.
TO THIS DAY, WWE HAS A REPUTATION IN THE WRESTLING WORLD AS A LAND OF MONSTERS, GIANTS, AND OTHERWISE
LARGE INDIVIDUALS.
SURE, SMALLER SUPERSTARS CAN GET EXTREMELY POPULAR AND EVEN MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE MAIN
EVENT, BUT VINCE MCMAHON WILL ALWAYS DEFAULT TO THE BIG LUG OVER THE HIGH FLIER.
OF COURSE, THIS TENDENCY USED TO BE EVEN WORSE BEFORE WCW PROVED TO VINCE THAT THERE MIGHT
BE SOMETHING TO THE 220 POUNDS AND UNDER CROWD AFTER ALL.
IN THE MID '90S, WCW'S CRUISERWEIGHT SCENE WAS AT TIMES EVEN MORE POPULAR THAN ANYTHING
THE HEAVYWEIGHTS WERE DOING.
MEN LIKE CHRIS JERICHO, DEAN MALENKO, EDDIE GUERRERO, AND REY MYSTERIO WERE SETTING THE
BAR EXTREMELY HIGH FOR WRESTLERS OF ALL SIZES.
EVENTUALLY, WWE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO MAKE A CRUISERWEIGHT DIVISION OF THEIR OWN, ALBEIT
ONE CALLED THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO TAKA MICHINOKU, THE RESULTS WERE LARGELY UNDERWHELMING, AS VINCE
COULD NEVER QUITE COMMIT TO THE IDEA.
11.
WCW STOLE FROM WWE: HALF THEIR MAIN EVENT SCENE.
OF ALL THE THINGS WCW STOLE FROM WWE, THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONE THAT EARNED THEM THE MOST
CRITICISM.
ASIDE FROM THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF WCW'S EXISTENCE, VIRTUALLY EVERY WRESTLER IN THEIR
MAIN EVENT SCENE SPENT AT LEAST A LITTLE TIME IN WWE.
THERE WERE SOME EXCEPTIONS, LIKE STING, "DIAMOND" DALLAS PAGE, OR GOLDBERG, BUT EVEN THEY DIDN'T
RECEIVE THE SAME REVERENCE AS "MACHO MAN" RANDY SAVAGE, KEVIN NASH, SCOTT HALL, BRET
HART, OR ESPECIALLY HOLLYWOOD HOGAN.
WHILE WWE ALSO STOLE A HANDFUL OF STARS FROM WCW, THEY USUALLY GUNNED AFTER LOWER TIER
WRESTLERS WHO WEREN'T REACHING THEIR POTENTIAL.
WCW SIMPLY TOOK MAIN EVENTERS AND ASKED THEM TO SWITCH COMPANIES FOR A HIGHER PAYCHECK.
THIS HELPED POP A RATING IN THE SHORT TERM, BUT IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE A LACK OF NEW,
UNIQUE STARS SLOWLY SPELLED WCW'S DEMISE.
10.
WWE STOLE FROM WCW: D-GENERATION X.
GIVEN THE ALWAYS CONTROVERSIAL NATURE OF D-GENERATION X, IT'S ONLY APPROPRIATE THIS ENTRY MIGHT
NOT BE ONE EVERYONE AGREES WITH.
FOR THE MOST PART, THE NEW WORLD ORDER AND D-GENERATION X HAD ALMOST NOTHING IN COMMON.
THE NWO WERE EVIL OUTSIDE INVADERS, WHILE DX WERE FUN LOVING GOOFBALLS MAKING A MOCKERY
OF WWE.
FOR SOME REASON, THOUGH, MANY FANS HAVE TRIED TO ARGUE THE GROUPS SHARED RECKLESSNESS AND
DISREGARD FOR AUTHORITY MEANT DX WAS JUST A KNOCK-OFF.
IN ADDITION TO THE SIMILARITIES BEING FEW AND FAR BETWEEN, WHAT LITTLE CONNECTION THERE
WAS DIDN'T HAVE MUCH SIGNIFICANCE — ALMOST EVERY WRESTLER OF THAT ERA ALSO HATED AUTHORITY
AND LIKED RAISING HELL.
ALL DX AND THE NWO REALLY HAD IN COMMON IS THAT THEY WERE EXTREMELY POPULAR STABLES,
THEY EXISTED DURING THE ATTITUDE ERA, AND BOTH PRODUCED WORLD CHAMPIONS.
WE'LL LET YOU DECIDE IF THAT CONSTITUTES A RIP-OFF, AS IN OUR BOOK, IT'S JUST BARELY
QUALIFIES BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE WON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.
9.
WCW STOLE FROM WWE: WHAT'S BIGGER THAN CHYNA?
WHEN WCW WAS AT ITS ABSOLUTE WORST, THE COMPANY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT
THEY WERE STEALING FROM WWE IN THE SLIGHTEST.
CASE IN POINT, THE BIG, BUFF, SILENT BODYGUARD OF SHANE DOUGLAS AND THE REVOLUTION CLEARLY
BASED ON D-GENERATION X'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NINTH WONDER OF THE WORLD, CHYNA.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE GREATER THAN THE ONLY FEMALE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION IN HISTORY?
WHY, ASYA, OF COURSE.
AS IF THE NAMING CONVENTION WASN'T INDICATIVE OF HOW BAD AN IDEA IT WAS, THE WOMAN WCW CHOSE
FOR THE ROLE ALSO HAPPENED TO HEAVILY LACK IN THE CHARISMA AND WRESTLING DEPARTMENTS.
QUITE FRANKLY, ASYA'S JOB WAS JUST TO STAND AROUND AND LOOK LIKE CHYNA.
UNSURPRISINGLY, WRESTLING FANS CAUGHT ON TO HOW STUPID IT WAS AND PRETTY MUCH IGNORED
EVERYTHING SHE DID (WHICH WASN'T MUCH).
8.
WWE STOLE FROM WCW: THE SPOILS OF WAR GAMES.
AT THIS POINT, IT ISN'T REALLY POSSIBLE FOR WWE TO STEAL FROM WCW, AND NOT JUST BECAUSE
THE LATTER COMPANY IS OUT OF BUSINESS.
SO TOTAL WAS VINCE MCMAHON'S DESTRUCTION OF HIS RIVALS THAT HE NOW OWNS EVERYTHING
IT PRODUCED, INCLUDING MATCH IDEAS, EVENT NAMES, AND OF COURSE, THE VIDEO LIBRARY.
IT'S THE LAST ONE THAT BRINGS FANS TO THE WWE NETWORK, BUT NOWADAYS, VINCE SEEMED MORE
INTERESTED IN THE FIRST TWO.
RECENTLY, WWE REVIVED THE NAME STARRCADE FOR A MUCH BALLYHOOED HOUSE SHOW, AND THE LEGENDARY
WAR GAMES GIMMICK WAS REVIVED FOR AN NXT TAKEOVER.
BECAUSE WWE OWNS EVERYTHING WCW CREATED, THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL AND NOT EXACTLY THEFT.
THAT WCW IS OUT OF BUSINESS ALSO KIND OF MAKES IT IRRELEVANT ANYWAY.
THE FACT REMAINS THEY NEVER COULD'VE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT WHEN WCW WAS STILL AROUND, THOUGH,
AND THESE IDEAS DIDN'T COME FROM VINCE.
7.
WCW STOLE FROM WWE: CAGED HEAT IS HELL IN A CELL.
SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION AT BAD BLOOD 1997, THE HELL IN A CELL STRUCTURE HAS BEEN THE
MOST IMPOSING AND VIOLENT IN WRESTLING.
WWE HAS BEEN GETTING SOME FLAK FOR OVERDOING IT THESE DAYS, BUT BACK IN THE ATTITUDE ERA,
HELL IN A CELL WAS THE NEWEST, BIGGEST, AND MOST VIOLENT GIMMICK MATCH AROUND.
NATURALLY, THIS ALSO MADE IT THE MOST POPULAR, AND WCW WANTED IN ON THE ACTION.
THEY TRIED UPPING THE ANTE WITH A TRIPLE CAGE, BUT WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK, THEY JUST STARTED
USING A CAGE IDENTICAL TO THE HELL IN A CELL STRUCTURE CALLED "CAGED HEAT."
IN A WAY, WE DON'T EVEN BLAME THEM, AS IT MAKES SENSE TO ADAPT THE HOTTEST THING GOING,
HOWEVER, THEY COULD TO MAKE IT LEGAL.
THE PROBLEM IS, EVERY TIME WCW USED THE CAGED HEAT/HELL IN A CELL GIMMICK, THE RESULTS WERE
HORRIBLE.
ONE OF THE FIRST WAS KIDMAN VERSUS THE WALL, A RANDOM MIDCARD MATCH WITH NO SIGNIFICANCE.
ANOTHER HAPPENED ON NITRO AND FEATURED VINCE RUSSO, WHICH SHOULD REALLY SAY IT ALL.
IF THE POINT WAS TO MAKE WWE'S COOLEST MATCH IN A WHILE LOOK STUPID AS HELL, THEY SUCCEEDED.
6.
WWE STOLE FROM WCW: THE REAL WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP.
CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE, VINCE MCMAHON JUST DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN WHAT ANYONE SAYS ABOUT
HIM.
THINK HE STOLE A COUPLE OF IDEAS FROM THE COMPETITION?
MOST OF THIS STUFF DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER HE ALREADY FLAGRANTLY PARADED AROUND
THEIR BIG GOLD BELT AS HIS OWN.
AND BECAUSE VINCE HAS SOME OF THE BEST LAWYERS IN THE WORLD, HE DID IT ENTIRELY LEGALLY.
GRANTED, VINCE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS ONE, AS IT WAS REALLY RIC
FLAIR'S DECISION FROM BEGINNING TO END.
IN LATE 1991, FLAIR STILL REIGNED AS WCW CHAMPION WHEN HE WAS FIRED FROM THE COMPANY, AND BECAUSE
THE NATURE BOY LEGALLY POSSESSED THEIR ICONIC BELT, HE OFFERED TO SHOW IT OFF ON WWE TV.
WCW NATURALLY DID WHATEVER THEY COULD TO STOP IT, AND IT WAS ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE
FLAIR HAD TO GIVE IT BACK, BUT FOR A SHORT PERIOD, VINCE EFFORTLESSLY GOT AWAY WITH A
MAJOR THEFT IN PLAIN SIGHT.
5.
WCW STOLE FROM WWE: THE HARDCORE DIVISION.
TRUTH BE TOLD, THE PHENOMENON THAT WAS HARDCORE WRESTLING IN THE 1990S HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
WWE, NOR WCW'S EXTREMELY PALE ATTEMPTS AT FOLLOWING THE TREND.
THE TRUE INNOVATORS OF VIOLENCE WERE THOSE WORKING FOR A SMALL INDEPENDENT PROMOTION
IN PHILLY KNOWN AS EC F'N W. THAT SAID, ECW WAS AROUND FOR ABOUT 6 FULL YEARS BEFORE
WWE DECIDED TO CASH IN ON THEIR NOTORIETY AND START THEIR VERY OWN HARDCORE DIVISION.
ANOTHER YEAR LATER, WCW FOLLOWED SUIT WITH THEIR OWN ABYSMAL ATTEMPTS AT TAKING WRESTLING
TO THE EXTREME.
CRITICS MIGHT ARGUE THE WWE HARDCORE DIVISION WASN'T THAT GREAT TO BEGIN WITH, BUT IT
PRODUCED A NUMBER OF MEMORABLE COMEDY SEGMENTS AND UNFORGETTABLE CHAMPIONS LIKE RAVEN, CRASH
HOLLY, STEVE BLACKMAN, AND AL SNOW.
THE WCW VERSION HAD NOTHING BUT AN EMBARRASSING STRING OF INJURIES AND REALLY QUESTIONABLE
CHAMPIONS, INCLUDING ERIC BISCHOFF, MAKING THE WHOLE THING FEEL LIKE A BAD JOKE.
4.
WWE STOLE FROM WCW: THE EVIL BOSS.
FOR MANY DECADES, THE INDUSTRY STANDARD IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING WAS FOR COMPANY OWNERS
TO LARGELY REMAIN UNSEEN.
VINCE MCMAHON SR. ESPECIALLY WAS AGAINST THE IDEA OF PROMOTERS APPEARING ON SCREEN, AND
HIS SON FOLLOWED THE FAMILY TRADITION BY HIDING HIS TRUE POSITION AND MASKING HIMSELF AS A
LOWLY ANNOUNCER UNTIL THE LATE 1990S WHEN THE TRUTH CAME OUT.
MCMAHON DIDN'T DECIDE TO GIVE AWAY THE BIG REVEAL UNTIL AN ALMOST IDENTICAL SCENARIO
PLAYED OUT ABOUT A YEAR EARLIER IN WCW.
ERIC BISCHOFF MAY NOT HAVE OWNED THE COMPANY, INSTEAD SIMPLY SERVING AS THE EXECUTIVE VICE
PRESIDENT, BUT HIS ON-AIR CAREER PATH WAS IDENTICAL — MILD-MANNERED ANNOUNCER TO SECRET
OWNER TO EVIL MASTERMIND.
PEOPLE CAN DEBATE FOREVER WHETHER ERIC OR VINCE DID IT BETTER, YET THE POINT OF THIS
LIST IS THAT ERIC DID IT FIRST.
WITH THIS IN MIND, MAYBE THE CORPORATION HAD MORE IN COMMON WITH THE NWO THAN D-GENERATION
DID.
3.
WCW STOLE FROM WWE: OH, YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT BUZZKILL?
ACCORDING TO JIM ROSS, AND AS AGREED UPON BY SOME LUMINARIES AT THE WRESTLING OBSERVER
NEWSLETTER, BRAD ARMSTRONG MAY WELL HAVE BEEN THE MOST UNDERRATED WRESTLER OF THE 1990S.
FROM A TECHNICAL STANDPOINT, ARMSTRONG WAS A PHENOMENAL WRESTLER, EASILY THE MOST TALENTED
INSIDE THE RING AMONGST HIS BROTHERS.
WCW REWARDED THIS A BIT IN THE EARLY '90S WITH A LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN,
BUT HE FADED INTO JOBBER OBSCURITY BY THE END OF THE DECADE.
HIS BROTHER BRIAN, ON THE OTHER HAND, USED THE '90S TO PROPEL HIMSELF TO NATIONAL FAME
AS AN WWE INTERCONTINENTAL AND TAG TEAM CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, THE ROAD DOGG JESSE JAMES.
CAPITALIZING ON HIS BROTHER'S FAME IN WWE, BRIAN ARMSTRONG STARTED DRESSING IN A SIMILAR
MANNER TO ROAD DOGG, USING MARIJUANA AND HIPPIE REFERENCES IN HIS PROMOS AND CALLING HIMSELF
BUZZKILL.
THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT WHAT BRIAN HAD IN RING SKILLS, HE LACKED IN HIS BROTHER'S
CHARISMA, AND IT WAS THAT SECOND FACTOR THAT MATTERED MORE DURING THE ATTITUDE ERA.

WWE STOLE FROM WCW: WRESTLEMANIA IS THE NEW STARRCADE.
AS IS THE CASE WITH DEMOLITION AND THE ROAD WARRIORS, THE FACT VINCE MCMAHON STOLE THE
IDEA FOR WRESTLEMANIA FROM STARRCADE WASN'T TECHNICALLY WWE STEALING FROM WCW; IT WAS
THEM STEALING FROM THE NWA.
AGAIN, HOWEVER, WE WOULD ARGUE THE DIFFERENCE IS INSIGNIFICANT, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO THE
MORE PRESSURE ISSUE IS THAT VINCE MCMAHON'S GREATEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL IDEA EVER WASN'T
HIS IDEA.
WRESTLEMANIA IS OFTEN POINTED TO AS THE TURNING POINT WHEN IT BECAME CLEAR WWE WOULD ACHIEVE
SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT MANIFEST DESTINY AS FAR MORE THAN A REGIONAL NEW YORK PROMOTION.
VINCE WAS PAINTED AS THE GENIUS WHO REALIZED HOW TO COMBINE EVERYTHING GREAT ABOUT PRO
WRESTLING INTO ONE GREAT SHOW, EVEN THOUGH JIM CROCKETT WORKED WITH THE NWA TO DO THE
EXACT SAME THING A YEAR AND A HALF EARLIER.
IN FACT, SUPER CARDS HAD EXISTED FOR YEARS THROUGHOUT WRESTLING HISTORY, ALL SERVING
BASICALLY THE SAME PURPOSE.
THAT SAID, VINCE WAS THE FIRST "GENIUS" WHO REALIZED HOW TO STRETCH ONE SINGLE SHOW
INTO SEVEN OR MORE HOURS OF SPECTACLE.

WCW STOLE FROM WWE: WORLD WAR 3 IS A ROYAL RUMBLE GONE WILD.
NO MATTER HOW BAD WWE OR PRO WRESTLING CAN GET THERE'S ALSO THE ROYAL RUMBLE — ONE
MATCH EVERY YEAR WHERE EVERYONE IN THE BUSINESS GETS AN HOUR TO PROVE THEY'RE THE BEST WRESTLER
IN THE WORLD.
EVEN WHEN THE WINNER LEAVES FANS FEELING FLAT, THE ROYAL RUMBLE ALWAYS PROVIDES AN INCREDIBLE
MEMORABLE MOMENT OR TWO, AND ONCE AGAIN, WE DON'T BLAME WCW FOR TRYING TO RIP IT OFF.
IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THEIR ATTEMPT AT DOING SO WAS HORRIBLE, FAILING IN EVERY WAY IT WAS
MEANT TO IMPROVE THE IDEA.
STRETCHED ACROSS THREE RINGS AND WITH TWICE AS MANY WRESTLERS, BUT SOMEHOW, USUALLY HALF
AS LONG, WORLD WAR 3 LACKED STORYTELLING IN EVERY WAY THE ROYAL RUMBLE GUARANTEED IT.
BIGGER IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT ALWAYS BETTER, AND WITH WCW, IT WAS JUST DISASTROUS.
DESPITE CONTAINING 60 WRESTLERS ALL WITH UNIQUE SKILLS AND CHARACTERS, SO MUCH WAS HAPPENING
NO ONE COULD PAY ATTENTION TO IT.
ULTIMATELY, ONE OF THE THREE WORLD WAR 3 MATCHES WERE NOTABLE OR WORTHWHILE IN THE SLIGHTEST,
AND IT'S ONE GIMMICK MATCH WE'RE ALL SURE WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

Dtube and Steemit: 5 Facts You Must Know About Dtube | YouTube Alternative | Earn money on Steemit - Duration: 5:58.
If you think you cannot earn much from YouTube or you want to earn more then keep watching
this video to the end.
Hello guys, and welcome back to another amazing video on our YouTube Channel "Life Science
Facts."

YouTube is the #1 video destination on the web and has dominated the space in recent
times – despite increasing competition from the likes of Facebook.
But recently some content creators have been utilizing a site called DTube to take advantage
of its differences from YouTube.
So what is DTube, how does it differ from YouTube, and why should brands and content
creators even care?
What is DTube?
To understand DTube we must first talk about and understand Steemit, a blockchain-based
social media platform that launched in July of 2016.
Essentially it's a Reddit-type service where anyone can earn rewards by posting, curating
and up-voting relevant content.
Monetary rewards come via a cryptocurrency token named STEEM, and in US dollar-pegged
tokens called Steam Dollars.
So think of Reddit (i.e. users post links, and vote good content up, and bad content
down) – but every user who participates gets a monetary reward.
Decentralized Tube (or DTube for short) is a YouTube-like video platform that is built
as an application on top of Steemit.
So it's on the same platform utilizing the same rules but specifically for video content.
Essentially, users post videos and are rewarded for creating and uploading content.
So… that's the basics, and in essence, it sounds much like YouTube – so how does
DTube really differ?
1.
Built on the Blockchain, Meaning Blockchain Benefits
Both Steemit and DTube are built on the blockchain.
You've probably heard of the Blockchain by now – it's what Bitcoin is built on.
Essentially it allows for a secure, decentralized, list of record keeping.
It's inherently resistant to modifications, and the data is managed by a peer-to-peer
network.
By utilizing the blockchain, DTube benefits in a number
of ways which we will now elaborate on.
2.
No Censorship
The beauty (and the beast) of the blockchain is that it's decentralized – meaning no
one entity controls what users upload and send.
No video uploaded on Dtube can be blocked to viewers because of copyright or non-family
friendly content.
Many users enjoy this aspect as it truly empowers their creativity without limits.
Brands and media companies, on the other hand, will be shocked to learn that there is no
way for them to pull down content that has been uploaded by other users.
3.
No Ads
Another great feature of using the Steemit platform is that there are no advertisements.
Viewers can enjoy a pure viewing experience without being disrupted with commercial messages.
4.
You CANNOT Delete Content
A constant worry with DTube is that what goes on the blockchain, stays on the blockchain
– which by design cannot be tampered with.
You currently cannot delete a video from your channel.
Once it's uploaded, it stays online forever.
This also means users need to be 100% confident in the content they upload because they cannot
edit the video afterward.
5.
No View Counts
YouTube is primarily focused on popular uploads that drive high view counts.
On DTube however, view counts are not even shown.
Instead, how much money a video has generated for its uploader is displayed.
Understanding the exact dollar value of this figure, however, is a lot more complicated.
With Youtube, you get an overview of your different types of revenue streams.
And because you are paid in a known currency (as opposed to a cryptocurrency), it's much
easier to understand what you have earned.
The DTube homepage looks a lot like YouTube but without the play counts.
DTube has become a hub for smaller content creators who missed the boat on YouTube.
This is no different to any new content or social platform where getting in early gives
users an advantage over those who join once the platform becomes more saturated.
Conclusion DTube is a new platform that is not without
its pitfalls, but it is one to keep an eye on.
Despite being a relatively small player, it has an avid set of content creators trying
innovative new approaches.
DTube presents itself as an interesting alternative option for video creators who want an instant
impact and monetizable outcome but remains a difficult platform for the mainstream to
understand.

YUCATAN Part 3: Pre-Columbian cities of Tulum and Chichen Itza - Duration: 4:34.
What's up fellas. thank you for watching this video.
When I went to these ancient
cities of Tulum and Chichen itzá there's more info about these cities and tips on
how to get there in the video description by the way. Back to the point
when I went there I was just awestruck by what I saw. What I was hoping to do
was to try to recreate those emotions for anyone that watches that video. My
goal with my videos is to help you feel something. Now that can be happiness
where you watch this video and you're like damn this is freaking awesome or it
could be a motivation or inspiration like okay if this guy can do it I can
definitely do it better or it could also be nostalgia about a place you've
already visited. Hopefully the emotion that I'm trying to spike is not annoyance
But really if I'm not even making you feel something with my videos then what's the
point of making these videos. If you like this video, smash that "like" button, check
out parts 1 & 2 of the Yucatan series, and of course don't forget to subscribe
to my channel to see more of my attempts at trying to make cool films as I
explore this planet. I will be back next week with a video from someplace that's
very far from Yucatan. Hope to see you guys then
