I don’t think people have a problem with flips, etc. It’s the context of them and just how cooperate and “convenient” they look.

Don't like to see anyone lose a job - more releases rumored today for WWE - my guess could be *some* of the following:

Keith Lee
Mia Yim
Karrion Kross
Scarlett
Kevin Owens
Cesaro
Drake Maverick
OTIS
Akira Tozawa
Dana Brooke
Elias
Tamina
Nia
Jaxon Ryker

It sucks that people can’t hold a talent-based job forever, it’s the nature of the beast and can be good for the company and talent.

That’s a pretty solid list you’ve got there. Oddly enough, of anyone that I think might be safe from it, it could be the guys like Akira Tozawa and Drake Maverick that add to that 24/7 mix. I don’t know why, but I can see Ricochet being safe too.

Keith Lee is the big screamer to me. They’ve tried a couple of times (in their mind), and I don’t think they got anything out of him. They didn’t even use him two weeks consecutively did they?

Elias not being drafted was a pretty big sign. And just because the company was high on you once doesn’t mean they’re going to stay that way. Can see him and Ryker being released, especially because they don’t seem to have any plans for them.

I’ve had a feeling that Kushida and MSK from NXT could be on the chopping block for a while. Unless they just use Kushida for Main Event/205 Live/the 24/7 division.

Because he apparently asked for another release, I can see them letting Gran Metalik go. Lince Dorado may or may not find himself attached to that. He seems “happier” to be there.

I have no clue how Dana Brooke has survived this long, to be honest.

I think the biggest “shocker” will be someone like Jeff Hardy or Sheamus. The first because he’s planning to leave anyway or they just don’t care if he does anymore. Sheamus just because of health issues and him maybe taking another role in the company.

Sad to say, but I don’t Asuka is safe either. Nor Shelton Benjamin. Not this time.

Mr. Nerfect 11-06-2021 05:27 PM

I have no clue why they don’t just do a face and a heel team from each show to go against the corresponding side. Gets more talent out there in a somewhat prominent role, which is what they are trying to do with these new rosters. Then you can do the teams facing each other on their home show and have feuds coming out of it.

That’s what I *kinda* figured, but it seems WAAAAY too much.

He was hired at the beginning of 2020. I find it pretty coincidental that the 2020 Rumble was one of the better booked ones in a while. Thought it may have been payment for Pat getting his hands in there, but apparently that was mainly a Brock, Heyman, Lance Storm and Jamie Noble.

I dunno. Just weird to think of Sylvan advising people on how to structure their wrestling match. I guess there are other things agents can do/are responsible for.

I’m not interested in WOW, per se, but I do find it interesting that Viacom is throwing it’s hat into the wrestling game. I do wonder what moves, if any, they will make in early 2022, and whether or not there is any interest in a men’s program to go along with it.

Oddly enough, the "rockhouse" nwo theme (the standard nwo theme) is basically a load of sound samples from hendrix songs pieced together and extended to be a theme.

Isn't it funny how a simple thing like letting the music play can make something seem more real and unexpected? Not something that would ever happen these days, the micro maanaging mid 70's maniac would have a stroke over something like that.

Cornette’s idea for the NXT time slot was basically my suggestion. Scrap NXT (or put it on Hulu or the Network exclusively) and use the 2-hour Tuesday slot for a Raw vs. SmackDown program. Or at least something using main roster talents in ways you wouldn’t usually see on Raw and SmackDown.

NXT is just not helping anyone right now. It can be restricted programming and exist and be whatever, but it’s on basic cable.

GD 11-10-2021 03:23 PM

Remember when JBL won the Smackdown Championship?

Probably about the 3rd week of NXT 2.0. My pitch was to open with Rey Mysterio vs. Ricochet. Just “out AEW” AEW content. Use the slot to produce content their audience can’t deny is better.

If one truly cares about WALTER's integrity as a wrestler, they should know that a "mainstream run" will only be detrimental.
