    When you strip away Bullet Club (pairing with Styles or Balor) from Gallows and Anderson they are just okay tag team.

    I just dont see the hot commodity feel they seem to garner. Of all the WWE releases, Id have them on the end of my list.

    They are solid workers. Of course they'd have to be to hang in NJPW. But yeah they didn't exactly set WWE alight.

    I can understand why WWE signed them as they had some steam with the whole bullet club. Aj went to WWE and am sure he pitched ideas to bring them in etc. Basically to "try and recreate" the bullet club. I assume they were merchandise machines in NJPW with bullet club t-shirts too.

    Maybe that's it? Solid workers and they shift a fair bit of merch.

    I find the G&A entertaining outside the ring there good fun

    In ring there ok nothing special

    but i think there best place is as entertaining muscle backing up AJ or someone like that

    Saying they were merch machines is like saying Xpac was a merch machine in DX, people didnt buy merch because of those two. Devitt, Styles, Bucks..... yeah. Gallows....not a hope.

    Ill give you Anderson is a solid worker but the former festus is just a sack of poop to watch.

    Again sound guys and they deserve props for making more money than they deserve. Dont see the appeal in them and they won't make me tine in to TNA or AEW, where ever they end up.

    Health looked jacked up on Raw, Gallows now looking jacked.... its like they are saying 'look at me now' at their old lover Vince.

    Knowing Vince he will rehire them.

    Lance won't be unemployed for long. Hes one of the good guys in wrestling and very underrated as a performer. Hes a top coach and all his trainees speak highly of him. Won't be surprised if AEW sign him up.

    story from Mike Johnson

    PWInsider.com is told by several sources that the departure of WWE Hall of Famer Gerald Brisco is part of another round of financial cutbacks for the company. We are currently working to confirm how widespread the cutbacks will be and whether any talents will be released. It may be a case of the company opting now to bring back those furloughed, but we have yet to confirm that.

    Id say he was at the end of his tenure any way, Covid or not

    I can't see them getting back on the road for a few more months tbh, and I'm sure there's going to be discussions then about if there's actually more money to be made with a base of operations, which would need less people as a result.

    Heath is so enteratining, he is so underrated.

    Yeah hes never gonna main event, but like Santino, The Hurricane and Al Snow before him, he can be a great comedy star.

    I havent watched Impact in donkeys, but I kinda wanna see what happens with Slater.

    I woonder did he pay for those Cameo videos himself. What a committed guy.

    Paid for? How dare you suggest their messages weren't their own and they weren't appearing for something they believe in?




    :pac:

    Tony Chimel along with a load more long standing behind the scenes staff sacked over the weekend all were furloughed by the company last April.

    Chimel has been around the WWE since 1983 and joined officially with Joey Marella in 1989.

    Twitch fallout I'm guessing. Be interesting to see if there's any ramifications after this.

    Quick recap. Fires the female backer of the unionisation advocates in the company. Employs alleged peados. That's WWE.
