THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....

[O.J PIMPSON]

AEW got a few decisions to make. I know Rusev somewhere looking like why the fuck my name ain't on here!! A lot of folks released who never got a fair shake. Book it right now, some of this list will become stars elsewhere and WWE gonna throw that big check at em, and they're gonna go back, for nothing

AEW should be very judicious who they decide to sign
they cant sign everyone and risk coming off like the place WWE rejects land

on top of that they have taped for the next few weeks and who knows when any wrestling federation will be in the position to hire again

alot of ppl being affected by this but didnt expect this from the WWE
they've been in the talent accumlation business for along time (sometime acquiring ppl with plans to use em) and this with Covid19 has lead something truly unprecendentd in the wwe

 

[0utsyder]

That midget is married to this, he needs to get over it and get down to AEW

Shyt I'd be crying too! Ain't no reason why she would be with him EXCEPT for the job he had!

If I was AEW, of this list I would only hire EC3 and Eric Young, but Eric is getting old in the tooth right now

Glad to see Naomi, Ember Moon and Sasha not on that list! Surprised that Luke Gallows got the axe. He either must have wanted to leave (possibly go back to Japan) or AJ doesn't have the stroke backstage yet.

 

[0utsyder]

He gonna join Brodie Lee in AEW

FCUK NO!!!!! He is so DAMN boring!

 

[EPDC]

If I was AEW, of this list I would only hire EC3 and Eric Young, but Eric is getting old in the tooth right now

I'd hire Gallows and Anderson too, since they were members of the Bullet Club.

This would be a perfect time for Impact to swoop in, no lie, and sign talent. Everyone is on AEWs nuts, but Impact could definitely make a run as a legit company again if they signed some talent.

 

[0utsyder]

Homie is silly!

 

[XXXplosive]

That midget is married to this, he needs to get over it and get down to AEW

Are they really married or was that all a work?
She makes no mention of being married currently on her social media.

But it isn't the same Impact. I mean Moose is their star. They would have a better run if they could stay on one channel

Surprised to hear Mike Chioda and some of the backstage folks like Finlay get released.

Wasn't Finlay a leading player in WWEs Women's division?

 

[EPDC]

But it isn't the same Impact. I mean Moose is their star. They would have a better run if they could stay on one channel

Agreed. I don't even know what channel it airs on.

Would love to see a BILLIONAIRE like Mark Cuban invest in it. There should definitely be more options for top stars here stateside instead of AEW and WWE

 

[0utsyder]

He was the single reason why they excelled so much... outside of the work and determination that they put into their careers.

It would be cool if this would strike up the different territories again. We got NWA, AEW, Impact and WWE. NWA and Impact just need some money behind them to give them a legit run like you said.

 

[XXXplosive]

Wasn't Finlay a leading player in WWEs Women's division?

Yep, he played a big part in the Women's Revolution and the women stepping up their ring game.

 

[XXXplosive]

Rusev got released too

Well EC3 and MJF could make for the most hated team in wrestling history. Not sure about Gallows and Anderson. I've always liked Eric Young, not the slow version, his crazy version.

 

[EPDC]

Vince might be getting ready to sell WWE to Disney. Watch.

 

[O.J PIMPSON]

I stand corrected, Rusev out too. How u gone but they keep ur wife? He's definitely on AEW short list. I'd grab Lio Rush too.

John Moxley is at AEW while Renee Ypung still works at WWE (for now).

Won't be surprised if Lana gets the axe too. She's a horrible performer and the Bobby Lashley angle flopped. No reason to keep her around.

 

[EPDC]

 

[EPDC]

Won't be surprised if Lana gets the axe too. She's a horrible performer and the Bobby Lashley angle flopped. No reason to keep her around.

She JUST signed a 5 year contract a few months ago. Wonder if they buy her out.

 

[O.J PIMPSON]

Never stood a chance. U gonna be able to start a whole new company with all these releases

 

[XXXplosive]

They're releasing almost all their underneath talent.
With the shows having a limited staff allowed for the foreseeable future, there's just not a need for a lot of the mid-card talent.
They got NXT/Performance center guys that make a lot less that they can use for their enhancement matches.

 

[EPDC]

 

[chrislee]

That midget is married to this, he needs to get over it and get down to AEW

Take his ass back to impact. Only maybe 6 or so are good pickups.

 

[chrislee]

Zack Ryder should have walked years ago. He had his dream job and a good run. His fiancee is still employed I think. Currently at work and looking over the list. Sad day for talent.

WWE cuts Kurt Angle and other wrestling stars 'due to COVID-19' after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis let the circuit host live shows in his state

• The WWE is releasing 10 wrestlers, including Kurt Angle, due to revenue problems caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the United States
• The decision comes after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis deemed the WWE 'essential,' allowing the circuit to continue producing live shows amid the lockdown
• DeSantis was criticized because WWE owner Vince McMahon and his wife Linda are staunch REPUBLICANS who helped raise $18.5million for Trump in Florida
• The WWE has media contracts with NBCUniversal and Fox reportedly worth $400 million that stipulate the circuit must produce 49 live shows a year
• Live shows in Florida will be held without an audience to avoid COVID-19 risks

WWE cuts wrestlers after Florida deems it 'essential'

The WWE is releasing several wrestlers and producers, including Kurt Angle, to reduce payroll despite Florida Governor Ron DeSantis decision to allow the circuit to host live events in the state.

WWE Reportedly Returning To Live TV During Coronavirus Pandemic Due To TV Contracts - Wrestling Inc.

As noted, WWE will return to airing live TV with WWE NXT, RAW and SmackDown this week, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. They will continue…

www.wrestlinginc.com

The released wrestlers and producers who were released are Kurt Angle, Drake Maverick (real name James Curtin), Curt Hawkins (Brian Myers), Karl Anderson (Chad Allegra), Luke Gallows (Drew Hankinson), Heath Slater (Heath Miller), Eric Young (Jeremy Fritz), Rowan (Joseph Ruud), Sarah Logan (Sarah Rowe), Mike Chioda, Mike Kanellis (Mike Bennett), EC3 (Michael Hutter), Aiden English (Matthew Rehwoldt), Lio Rush (Lionel Green), Primo (Edwin Colon) and Epico (Orlando Colon Nieves).

 

[THE DRIZZY]

Impact and NWA needs to scoop up some people as well. I can see Rusev in either AEW or Impact and he will get a proper push. AEW should sign Sarah Logan they need all the woman help they can get. Lio Rush would work well in either the of them or he can go to MLW or ROH. Luke and Rowan are bigs and they would be appreciated anywhere.

 

[EPDC]

Forgot about NWA. If only they had a TV deal. The Revival would be a good fit for them, their tag division could use them, as AEW has plenty of tag teams. Where are the Briscoes? Revival vs Briscoes could be great.

MLW, last I heard was close to a TV deal, one or at least gaining interest from one.

So much talent out there...

I would love to see NWA, MLW, and ROH with tv deals. Then we would have 6 brands for the viewing public with of course WWE, AEW, and Impact already having tv deals. All six could offer something different to stand out. Then it will feel like the early 80s again . This time instead of territories it's brands. Having more brands is good for all the workers. If they get stale they can move to another brand. Some of the big stars will probably work in several brands at once like Andre, Flair, Hansen, Ladd, and Brody used to do back in the day. Some of the better talent can go a brand and elevate a brand star that company is trying to get behind. That is what is missing. So much talent and so much retired talent with good minds that can be mentors. Not to mention cross promotional challenges. I can see the other 5 participating, we all know WWE will not participate.

I remember as a kid living up north watching WWF on Saturday morning, some NWA (on TBS Saturday evenings) and AWA (aired after Roller derby, in syndication late on Saturday nights)

Used to LOVE THAT shit.
