Would have been easy enough to have him turn against the fans and become the savior of the masses again. "I did all that to prove how easily entertained you fools are" or some such nonsense. The guy is entertaining as fuck and was over. Take advantage of that, keep the momentum rolling and use him.

Sandow is better as a reactionary character than a guy who gets himself over.

Really wish when he was mizdow him and miz would have a fatal four way for the IC title.
Sandow would win when he and miz would both get their opponents int the figure 4 and sandows would tap out first |

Also I love how people get worked up over a bunch of talent that either were injury prone. Not that great or haven't been on TV in months being let go.

People only getting worked up about Sandow. Sandow was over and could have been something but he was de-pushed for no reason.

I think he was referring to an on-air talent contract to an employee situation, where you're still working for the company, but your role is different. HHH gets paid as an on-air talent AND as an employee.

Im only upset at Sandow here. When he first came in he was amazing and I loved his gimmick, but WWE never did anything with him. I think everyone pretty much covered the topic though.

Why not *try* to get a Miz vs. Sandow feud going? They even had new music done for Sandow that I can't remember if they ever actually used. I don't think you can blame him for getting less interesting. |

Just randomly thought of how great a feud between "Savior of the masses" Sandow and a face version of Barrett's badass bareknuckle fighter could be. The dichotomy of the two personalities. The promos. My God. I'm not one for Noid posts but if you could see the feud I've built in my mind... I need to take out a loan and start an indy wrestling promotion. It may not make a penny and ultimately render me bankrupt but Goddammit I wanna see this come to life now.

It could be a good feud, but Bennett himself is clever. I'd like to see Sandow built up as a babyface for a few months, then have Bennett come in as his "match."

And you feel like Scotty 2 Hotty, a heterosexual, would be the same as Darren Young, an open homosexual, in his effect and perspective in an anti bullying campaign? If you do, thats fine. But I think its pretty evident Darren does well for the company outside of wrestling in the ring and has his place, especially in this era. But if you disagree, thats totally cool bud |

It still seems silly to me that people get to keep or get jobs based on PR reasons. I understand, for example, hiring a great Hispanic wrestler because he's good at wrestling and will appeal to the Hispanic crowd; but Darren Young is not that good at wrestling. Hire a better black gay wrestler. I did enjoy his Bob Backlund thing though. Maybe there's hope? It's very rare I am so down on a wrestler, but after six years of basically looking like a black John Cena but somehow being nothing, it feels like they could cut bait. Especially now. Am I making sense? I just don't see the reason for keeping around guys because they are good at appearances ONLY. You have to have something relevant to the product. |

I saw Christian got released from his contract and thought "NOOOOO!", but then I realized it is his wrestling contract. He's still signed on for WWE Network stuff. But still, a free Christian Cage would actually be kind of awesome.
Really want to see them give him a color commentator tryout. |

According to PWI, next wave of cuts is happening after the Extreme Rules ppv and rumored to include a potential big name from the Women's division.
WWE also rumored to be preparing a new wave of signings to be done as the main reason why the cuts are happening now. Quote:

Nattie? Alicia?

Alicia, Rosa, Naomi, Tamina, Summer would be the most likely candidates. Personally, I'd can Eva Marie as an in-ring talent and re-sign her specifically for Total Divas if that's why they want to keep her. Seems to me that's the only good use for her.

Nattie and Naomi are announced to be on the cast of next season's Total Divas, so they will be staying.
(Also safe is Paige) |

Tamina is one that should probably be cut based on talent levels and such. I'm sure she's a lovely person and what not, but she hasn't really improved and Nia Jax will be their new "big girl." I thought she would have gone earlier, but I can imagine them not wanting the bad publicity of "Snuka" being on their website and not wanting it to be possibly linked to the Jimmy trial stuff.
I've got a bad feeling about Emma too. I love her so much, but now that Dana Brooke is up, I could see them using Emma to get her over then dumping her. |

Alicia leaving would also make sense. She's been confirmed for the next season of Total Divas, but maybe there's a last minute change. Isn't Naomi back in it? There's their token black girl.

I don't think Alicia has been confirmed for Total Divas, has she?
Wikipedia says she isn't.... and if I can't trust Wikipedia, who can I trust? |

It felt good the way they treated Paige on RAW. All the Women's segments were on point. Dana FUCKING Brooke has arrived

She hasn't been around due to some family issues, maybe she asked to go? (if true)
