Obviously wanted to kill Asuka's cred to "humble" her or something stupid.

I really didnt see it that way after the PPV match, but then to have a rematch the next night and it basically went the same way..maybe.

Yeah, they do that shit, but they do it with everybody. It's just how they think "popular" wrestlers wrestle now. I'm not even going to say faces, because I'm not even sure if they believe in faces and heels anymore.

Damninator, don't take advice from Noid, he's worse than you and probably has a lower IQ than you.

I've said it before but there's no way they can keep calling up people to the main roster without making cuts.
I know you need guys to put people over and guys like Hawkins to job all the time but look at Roode and Kanelis or even Nakamura to a certain extent there's no real time for character development or they spend two weeks off TV and just carry on with a feud that people have forgotten about . |

mike adamle still measures intelligence in IQ, which were dropped as reputable indicators a long time ago. It's probably because he's a fucking idiot.

For the product to remain sharp and stark (Ha! Remain?), you need to cycle guys and gals in and out. It doesn't need to be hostile and it doesn't necessarily mean they are not good at their jobs. Leaving the WWE might mean that they can get more varied training by working in front of different crowds, with different talent, with different styles. You can then come back and be more valuable and make more money than you ever would have made simmering where you were. |

Maria is pregnant, so it probably ruined "plans" for him. But what plans did they really have? And why can't he just do the same things and make honey-boo-boo faces to the camera telling his gorgeous pregnant wife that he misses her? I think they just got him and kind of have buyer's remorse. |

WWE only really cared for Maria but he came as a package deal and their plans to use him got derailed early because of outside reasons (Maria getting pregnant, Mike in the middle of a drug rehab). |

I'd just cut my losses with Mike Bennett to be honest. Thanks for coming, we'll keep paying Maria until after your baby is born, etc. He doesn't really bring anything you need. Lio Rush can fuck off too.

Also they need to use NXT more to repackage or if someone has had a lengthy injury lay off to ease them back in. |

They could easily just change him back to Mike Bennett and the fans would just think he's a new wrestler.

Think he took advantage of WWE's drug rehab program very early into his WWE run. Not sure if it was because he relapsed or just wanted to use WWE's vast resources to clean up for good. Only was revealed online by Maria after he was already 3-4 months into the program.
Before that most of the online speculation was the usual WWE misusing the wrestler or were already bored with the gimmick. |

Maybe they should have a storyline where Mike Kanellis relapses and Maria's baby ends up a crack baby

Actually a better storyline would have Mike Kanellis pimp his preggo wife out for drugs. Maybe one of those guys could be the real baby daddy and we could get a feud outta that. Erick Rowan vs. Mike Kanellis sounds like a good feud there.

He's been used sporadically but his gimmick is pretty much dead without Maria and without a direction for it. |

Darren Young will end up in lolTNA or whatever it's called. He can't join Ring of Honor bc he lacks honor.

Also, can someone please tell me what is so great about Asuka? She's doesn't spit like other Jap rasslers like Muta or Tajiri. Maybe she only spits for Vince?

Slater is so underrated don't get me wrong he's great in the role he's in I'm just saying I think he should get even more exposure.
WWE logic is weird they punish you for making noise about just sitting in the back. Enzo is an annoying loudmouth dick and he's closing out shows. |

I heard something about a tag team. I thought it might be Gallows & Anderson, but worried that it might be Harper & Rowan. Slater & Rhyno going would not be a huge surprise. Rhyno's having a bit of a feel-good run at the moment. I'm sure he's made his money and has had the time of his life. Heath Slater is a bit sadder for me, because I do think he is a damn good worker who didn't have to go to excess in order to eventually get over. I feel like the indies wouldn't be as kind to him, as hilarious as it would be to see a bad-ass Heath Miller in New Japan.

According to the Observer, Emma's release and others seem to be leaning towards being sudden decisions by the WWE and not something planned out in advance (ex. Spring Cleaning). Also doesn't think this was done for budget cutting reasons or to make room for Ronda's expected deal.
The booking of both Asuka-Emma matches makes him lean towards this being a spur of the moment decision by the WWE. Same for Emma's response to being released.

And that "publicity" thing was kind of a double edged sword. It wasn't WWE's idea, and they weren't ready for it. Things that aren't their idea are usually glossed over, ignored, or sometimes looked down upon. You'd think they'd have gotten behind it, but at the same time, it is prob'ly a good idea they didn't since it would have likely been so much rehashed Billy & Chuck nonsense. |
