Actually, I was going to say that BBV is like WCW:

NWO runs into EACH and EVERY match, whether they're in the storyline or not = Blockbuster's cash-loss schemes, like no money for store revenue on initial TA exchanges; free month-long pass to new customers when Hollywood/Movie Gallery closed; free $5 bundle with every three new releases. Yet, with all this interference, BBV employees are still expected to perform.

Eric Bischoff makes television appearances in each and every show, whether he's in the storyline or not = Jim Keyes going on CNBC, Fox News, etc. to tell everyone "We're fine!"

Anyone who's not NWO gets their careers fucked with = store employees.

Celebrities (David Arquette, Dennis Rodman) endorse WCW; compete in matches = Studios openly endorsing BBV; restrict rentals to other media

WCW steals from WWE roster = BBV taking good ideas from RedBox and Netflix, but only after they become a threat

Kayfabe winners and losers = Telling the media one thing, employees another
