CROSS-Out Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm not gonna pretend i'm an expert but I do see this at least a little bit as WWEs excessive spending and poorly thought out plans, like buying up talent to keep them away from the competition, as coming back to bite them in the ass.

Monkey D. Jiggy Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Just now, King RyderFan said: Not only that, but this shows WWE’s MO so, so, so well. Hoard talent when options are available and the moment the business is shut down they dump anyone and everyone they don’t see as “valuable”. No Way Jose flew in just for a nothing job match and they fire him 48 hours later. Disgusting. Disgraceful. Despicable. Heard Lance Storm closed his school for a job he got sacked from in a matter of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I really, really hope this leads to a union in wrestling. Those guys and girls put their bodies on the line for us, night after night. They don’t deserve to be treated as cattle.

CROSS-Out Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Andrea Listenberger, who I believe was on the creative team, appears to have been let go. Personally seeing how bad creative is, I think they should've started there instead of with the talent; although I think Andrea was one of the good ones from what i'm told.

glennsoe Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I just spent 5 minutes looking at the roster at wwe.com and I wouldn't be surpriced if some of these were released soon too - NOT that I wish it, it's just based on theire role in wwe and how theire being used at the moment. '* Apollo Crews * Bo Dallas * Cedric Alexander * David Otunga * Gran Metalik * Jason Jordan * Jinder Mahal * Kacy Catanzaro * Kalisto * Lars Sullivan * Paige * Robert Roode * Shane Thorne All the nxt uk wrestlers have been left of this list..

CROSS-Out Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Robert Roode would be a huge mistake to let go. He's been used awfully but we know for a damn fact he has all the potential on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey D. Jiggy Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm honestly the most shocked about Anderson and Gallows. If those two are out, I'd assume most aren't safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeShmoee Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I hate it but I’m not surprised. For the most part, several of these wrestlers asked for their release in the last year. Kanellis’, Gallows and Anderson, EC3, Rusev, even Dawson and Wilder. I didn’t see the releases coming but I’m not surprised by a lot of them either. Time for AEW or iMPACT to snatch several of them.

Rekka_N0_Ryo Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 that drake video was hard to watch. Why do I have a feeling all of this will bite the WWE in the ass on down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 It’s easy to destroy WWE. Yes I get it, they have money now but I’m sure they are planning for less to come in. WrestleMania is their cash cow every year and they didn’t have that this year. Also Vince is working with all the major sports and Trump, I know people joke about that but they also would be the first to have an idea of when things go back to normal. There are rumors that mass gatherings like sporting events may not be able to happen until Fall 2021. So if true, that’s another Mania that WWE would miss out on. That’s a lot of money that needs to be accounted for the future, not what they have right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestInTheWorld614 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 It’s still a big part of their 1st quarter. Mainly my point is that WWE is not immune to climate of the world just because it’s WWE. It’s still a business that has to look at numbers now and what they will be in the future. Not defending WWE for cutting people, not defending anybody. Sucks for all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
