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

www.wrestlinginc.com 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).
 
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.
 
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 :yes: . 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.

Don’t forget WCCW on Friday Afternoon and UWF (The missing link and Savannah Jack) late Sunday night
 
Rusev is the only lock for AEW. Anderson & Gallows would be locks based on their history with the Young Bucks in the Bullet Club. Toma Tonga tweeted 4-Life so they possibly may consider NJPW or work in the US on Indies along with ROH. Lio Rush would be a good pickup since AEW is lacking black male solo competitors. Everyone else can make big money on the Indies & smaller brands with tv deals.

I don't see why Gallows and Anderson wouldn't go back to New Japan. The Revival should probably spend some time over there as well.
If anything the WWE should have fired these writers.

Not sure about Gallows, but Anderson has a few young children and wife, going back to Japan may not be ideal for him, even if he has an Asian wife.

Don't know the Revival's situation like that but they could definitely do well in New Japan.

With all of the BS going on in the WWE they could run a Black Wrestlers Matter angle. With all of the angry disgruntled black wrestlers teaming up tired of jobbing to these weak pink nipple pussies. Even the women can join in have Bianca Belair Sasha Banks Naomi and Ember Moon and the Black Horsewoman. Sasha =Ric Flair. Bianca = Lex Luger and let Ember and Naomi terrorize the tag team division like Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard.

I would see it as a faction that Titus puts together and battling New Day for Survivor Series with Kofi and Big E turning on Xavier and Xavier reluctantly joining the Titus faction constantly trying to get them back to the New Day.
