    On the other hand, he’s someone AEW should be getting in touch with ASAP. He’s shown the crowd adore him.

    Always wonder how Wwe get away with not honouring contacts. I mean a 5 year deal isnt a 5 year deal then if they can just drop you at any time they want, and then you cant work anywhere else for 3 months to boot.

    I'm sure the contracts have lines along the lines of "you can't quit but we can fire you whenever we want".

    Or as I like to call it, The Mahoney Clause.

    There seems to be worries about Rhea Ripley. Apparently she’s changed some of her social media stuff today...

    Edit. She’s changed her Facebook name back to her real name, and removed all traces of NXT from her twitter profile apparently. That’s...not good.

    Looks like NXT had started. Deonna Purrazzo seems to be gone. She was a strange one as she was recurring to the point I thought she was full time before she got her contract

    In a time when clarity is needed that is a horribly worded tweet and could be interpreted a certain way.

    This company sickens me on every level.. where is all the Saudi money? How much did they spend on Cain, Fury, Gronk, Goldberg?

    In addition to tonight, this week has ( allegedly) bribed Florida Officials, continued to stage live shows for tv and on last nights DSOTR, it was mentioned how he ( allegedly) helped cover up the murder of jimmy Snukas girlfriend.. WWE is the ultimate heel company. Been watching this for over 30 years and find myself increasingly despising everything to do with it

    A good half the guys released today are ones I’m shocked they lasted as long as they did. Primo and Epico, Jose, Ryder....lads who are never on TV, and were only kept to pad out house shows that are no longer running.

    I’d say anyone who hasn’t been on TV much recently will be nervous today. WWE have been hoarding talent like Pokemon, but this is making them question the value of a lot of these guys, and the fact is most so far have zero genuine value.

    Sucks for the individuals though. Drakes video is heartbreaking. Hopefully, when things settle, he and others will help boost the indy scene which will be hit hard.


    Like you say, I feel sorry for every individual who is permamently out and also those in temporary.

    In terms of those going permanent, WWE have long had a bloated roster and many who are leaving will not be surprised that they are heading out. Why WWE were paying so many to do so little is one of the great mysteries. The companies ability to pay people or Vince's bank balance do not mean they should have people on the payroll that they do not need.

    In terms of those leaving on the furlough, it is very poor form from the WWE and they should have a greater sense of protecting people imo. While they are off the road they won't need them but it was very quick to hit push and leave them on their own when they are needed when they get back going again.

    They have in excess of $500 million in cash reserves.

    They are just protecting their profit margin. The company is not in trouble in any way, shape or form. Vince is just trying to keep the stock price high and ensure his net worth goes up another X million this year.

    The contracts are worded so they can terminate the deal at will but the talent can't.

    Long past time they had a union. Will never happen, of course.

    Nope. What he meant is any NXT talent being released will get 30 days pay. I think I read Raw talent get 90 days

    Rey has an out on his contract this year as well.

    In one way its sad, so many losing their jobs with no real way of getting a new one in the foreseeable future. So bigger names like Ryder, Angle and Rusev will be ok.

    Can only see AEW picking the top talent from that bunch but will they even be in a position to hire themselves?

    That said WWE have been hoarding talent for ages and have waaay too much talent on their books. Most if not all have been wasted.

    Rusev never recovered after his loss to Cena, very talented man and WWE never knew what to do with him.

    Drake is a loss and was never used enough.

    EC3 was never used at all, why sign him at all.

    I still have my fingers crossed that Corbin is canned just so I never see him on WWE again.

    So much real underutilised talent gone. I wonder were they offered their release or did WWE just cut them.

    Im sure Rusev was on good money, he resigned under a year ago right. Say he got a good pay off.

    Guys like Deonna will get **** all though.
