WWE Releases Discussion

[T-Hell]

Summer Rae too? Oh come on..

[Counting Lights]

We haven't had a mass releasing in years. Feels weird.

The crater left by JTG took a long time to fill up

[Bushy.]

Man I can't wait until the new podcasts coming up to discuss these. Especially Solomonster, holy shit!

[MikeM]

Well I'm glad Hornswoggle and Torito have gone, (not for them, obviously - that's a sucky thing to happen) not least because it hints that those "comedy characters" who add nothing to the in ring product, have been cut out. Hornswoggle (character) ruined many major angles, I still cringe at him being the Anonymous Raw GM and Son of Vince.

 

Alex Riley's not a shock, I didn't even know he was still there.

 

Summer's probably the biggest one, she was even getting a semi push a month or two ago (Paige jobbing for her). I didn't have any issues with her, aside from her tall frame made her look awkward in the ring.

 

Santino could have done something for the network, he's a funny guy - but then I suppose he still could.

 

I presume "bus flip" refers to the overused plot device of killing off a lot of characters in one go, rather than coming up with individual ways. Not a phrase I've heard before.

I can see The Ascension getting the cut.

[Bushy.]

I'm glad Summer's gone.

[AlterNation]

None of these releases surprise me.

 

Santino probably just waited out 'till the end of his contract after he retired. Wouldn't blame him at all for that. Love the guy.

 

And I don't see any confirmation about Summer getting released yet.

[Bushy.]

Same about that one.

[TNFNS]

Daaaamn, so the rumors of releases yesterday were true.

 

Alex Riley is going straight to the "shoot" people

Is this still breaking news I assume? Surprised Barrett and Ryback haven't been added, Or Konnor and Rose, I'd think they're most at risk.

[Bushy.]

Who was the source that broke that

Konnor and Rose were suspended. They would not have been, if they were being released.

 

Barrett's and Ryback's current contracts run out soon aswell.

The guy from RF Video(AKA the guy who does shoot interviews AKA the pedo), he posted it on Facebook last night or yesterday.

Good point. I guess Barrett and Ryback would be "decided to leave".

[Aqfitz]

Barrett's gone too.

[ItalianoFBI]

Yep

[Counting Lights]

GG Wade, you've been my favorite wrestler for the past 6 years. Thanks for everything man, hopefully we see you back one day.

[Bushy.]

Another one

[AlterNation]

Barrett.

[Shadow Getsuga]

Why is this called Bus Flip? I had no idea this was about the releases when I posted my topic about this stuff.

One of the podcasts I listen to uses that as a term to disribe a mass firing. I had a different name but I changed it.

[classiq.]

I'm gonna miss Wade.

 

Hopefully he lands a gig with NJPW.

[TNFNS]

I did think this was about a new Network series or some shit at first.

I'd pay 9.99 to watch that.

I think he's done with wrestling for now.
