Cats saying that Roman said nigga on Smackdown... Got me Rollin'...
So THIS is what caused him to lose respect? Not the nigga thing, not refusing to put over talent, nor Thunder in Paradise or the 3 Ninjas movie?But THIS? It took til 2022 huh?
...myeah, wait until Vince tells him to retract that!
Not surprising. His social views clearly don't align with WWE or most major corporations for that matter. Surprised he's lasted this long tbh.
Mansoor the new Mustafa Ali....
makes sense
he is a 205 legacy and has made alot of chicken salad outta chicken
but he is criminally underused and would've been released sooner rather than later eventually
its telling how shitty the Retribution angle was and how many of em were DOA
btw havent been watching but whats going with MACE & T-Bar since they got split up...will they be getting let go eventually
They should let Brennan Williams go back to doing commentary or have him host a show. Dude is an ex NFL player so they may keep him around just because. Dyjak is a Triple H hire and he's been wasted on main like most guys. Dyjak is a solid worker and a big guy so he's gonna get work where ever he lands.
...but enjoys his role/spot on the roster.
Brennan Williams fits their new policy of training ex-college athletes to be wrestlers, except he's a little on the older side (he'll be 31 next month) and he's already been through their training system. We'll see what they do with him.
I expect them to eventually release Dyjak. They may give him a character reboot before then, but the writing is already on the wall.
With Vince and 'em always having their characters doing various references to history (especially with Drew and Sheamus), I feel like they know exactly who tf that muthafucka was.
Hell, I don't watch the shit either. I haven't watched WWE since like October. But I heard they haven't been on TV.
I hate she always censoring the nip
Leave WALTER the fuck alone!!
Well that took Bruce Pritchard and Vince all of 10 seconds to fuck this up to start.
More fakes for the fam.
Damn I would've believed them too lol....More fakes for the fam.

WWE Reportedly Disappointed Internally With NXT 2.0
It has been four months since NXT was rebranded as NXT 2.0. The look of the show changed, and young rookies were given television time over veteran stars. However, ratings have fallen since the launch of the new concept.
In the four months before the rebrand, which includes two weeks where the show suffered a steep drop in the ratings with the show airing on SyFy due to the Olympics, WWE NXT averaged 669,000 viewers and a 0.16 rating in the 18-49 demographic. Since the rebrand, NXT 2.0 has averaged 639,000 viewers with a 0.15 in the 18-49 demographic, a drop of 4.5% in total viewers and a drop of 6.25% in the key demographic.
Last September, the first month of the rebrand, the show averaged 693,000 viewers with a 0.17 rating in the 18-49 demographic. In December, the show averaged 601,000 viewers with a 0.13 rating in 18-49 demographic, a drop of 13.3% in total viewers, and a drop of 23.5% in the key demo.
According to WrestleVotes, WWE is said to be disappointed with NXT in its first four months.
“Internally WWE is said to be disappointed w/ NXT 2.0 in its first 4 months,” WrestleVotes tweeted. “Source said they thought more fans would gravitate towards the newer stars quicker than they have. Could it just be too much, too fast? Either way I don’t expect any changes to the concept… just yet.”
During the WWE Q3 2021 earnings call last November, WWE President Nick Khan commented on the revamp. Khan noted at the time that he felt the new concept was working.
“We think it’s all starting the way that we wanted it to start. So we wanted a younger, fresher, in-ring approach. We think we have it,” Khan responded. “You’ve already seen some talent from the new NXT elevated to the main roster. There’s going to be more of that.”
NXT this past Tuesday averaged 587,000 viewers with a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The number was down 11% in total viewers and down 26.7% from the same week last year when the show aired on Wednesdays head-to-head with AEW Dynamite.

I wonder if and when WWE's board of directors will ever do a vote of no confidence in Vince? He just seems to be running this ship into the ground.
They made more money last year than ever before. Do you really think board of directors at WWE give a fuck about ratings. They're about $$$ and in this case, TV ratings isn't necessarily equaling money, all the other outside deals the WWE made that brought them record financial gains is.
I honestly think WWE already signed their last Cable TV deal. Once their USA deal is up, they're probably going straight Streaming on Peacock (minus Smackdown).

Can you honestly say they made money because of Vince though?! What else is Vince known for within WWE? Also here is something to ponder on...what did they make that money off of during a pandemic?
I could see WWE going to Peacock, but you're still on the hook to someone else versus having your own service.
