Gah....

Hate to say it, every damn time one of these happens, but...


Thatcher is a must sign for AEW. One of those along with Keith Lee that should have been and AEW Original but swiped right on NXT when it was still good.

nah

i mean thatcher is fine and i even grew to enjoy him when he was feuding/teaming with ciampa, but he is definitely not a must sign in my eyes.

They should release Roderick Strong, finish off Undisputed Era completely, especially if they are already releasing Diamond Mine guys.

Also, was Regal still considered NXT's GM? I cant recall him doing anything GM related since 2.0. Still a baffling move though, dude did a lot for NXT.

I never saw Thatcher much in NXT but I saw him live a few times at indies I always thought he was a stand out, plus he has a size a legitimacy about his style that I really like.

damn I love Regal. This sucks.

These two names sound familiar but I am not familiar with them, but more releases at NXT/PC

loved oney and burch together but they'd definitely hit their ceiling in WWE. allison danger another one i had no idea even worked for the company.

I dunno, if there's anyone in the wrestling industry who doesn't know their own worth, it's Regal.

does sara del rey still work for them?

Yeah she’s still a head coach (for now)

Danielson doesn't need a mouthpiece, but Regal managing his star student would make me extremely happy

Love Thatcher...

I eagerly await a post from Noid justifying the cuts.

What justification is needed? Not like these were heavily featured people like Wyatt and Strowman were when released. Biggest name is Regal and maybe he wanted to get cut.

DID THEY FIRE ROMAN REIGNS FOR DOING PORNO AS A SIDE GIG???? FUCK YOU VINCE!

Yes. Backstage personnel weren’t heavily featured. Drain the swamp.

I didn't think you meant them because they need even less justification....

Yes. There’s no justification required since they’re low on the totem pole.

what kind of justification are you looking for at this point? sincerely.

I mentioned that earlier. I’m looking forward to Noid’s justification.

If they wouldn't have reported it nobody would have ever noticed.

Damb. Excellent justification. I’m satisfied. Take a green dot.

oh i see you're just in a mood tonight

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if they let Shawn Michaels go.

Regal had to go because they needed to make room for a GM that’s as hip and cool as NXT 2.0 is

Brother Love is hip.

Which needs no justification :o

Regal is one of my favorites in wrestling. It sucks if he was let go against his will, but there’s the chance that this was somewhat voluntary. Sometimes people want to move on and do other things.

He’s a no-brainer signee for anyone if he wants to stay in wrestling.

Timothy Thatcher should have been called up to work in a technical wrestling division with Cesaro, WALTER, Drew Gulak and Oney Lorcan. Missed opportunity there.

Yeah there’s definitely a place for a Thatcher, even if it’s as part of a faction like Imperium. I’m fact if you can’t get Walter to make the move across the pond, you could have just had Thatcher steal Imperium away from him and moved them to the main roster as a midcard heel stable for a few months.

Gabe Saplosky has been let go

I wonder if NXTUK is lucky during cuts that the company forgets they exist

I dont think Vince understands that NXTUK is a standalone brand. I believe he thinks that is what the faction is called for the people that came from the U.K.

I think the NXTUK talent are harder to get rid of due to UK employment laws. They can fire guys like Ligero and Travis Banks who had sexual assault allegations, but the rest of the talent are treated like closer to employees than they would in the US. In all likelihood that brand will just kick around until their deals expire, at which point

A) they'll re-sign the people they want to keep on the condition they move to the US
or
B) the deal will quietly expire

Joe Conners was in the latter group, signed in December 2016 ahead of the original UK tourney and his deal just ran out

:lol:

You're probably right

I read once the NXTUK contracts are peanuts compared to NXT 2.0 and the Performance Center

Very interesting @ Vito

That would explain a lot

There is enough talent out there to start a completely legitimate company. With a head of creative, agents, referees, commentators, etc. Jeff Jarrett must be licking his lips.
