Spring Cleaning 2019

[Evil Vito]

WWE has started releasing talents:

Hideo Itami
TJP
Tye Dillinger

Itami and Dillinger were confirmed to have asked for their releases, and TJP made some cryptic tweets a few days ago so he may have asked too.

Curious to see if any involuntary releases come up.

[Evil Vito]

If they actually do involuntary releases then The Ascension, Breezango, and No Way Jose should probably turn off their phones.

[ClockShot]

AEW should be standing at the property line of Titan Towers with contracts prepped.

[slik]

Don't forget Arn Anderson!

[Evil Vito]

AEW should be standing at the property line of Titan Towers with contracts prepped.

Honestly, nah.

I like Tye Dillinger and all but think he needs to regain some value in MLW or someplace like that before AEW immediately bring him in. That'd just make them look like TNA.

[Rammsteinmad]

So has Dillinger been released then?

[Evil Vito]

Yes

[erickman]

tjp surprises me unless his contract was about up

[DaveWadding]

I'm predicting (with no source of any kind) that Lucha House Party is going to be released soon.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Kinda pains me to say it, but if Ryder is only being reunited with Curt Hawkins to lose matches to other teams...yeah, both would be better off asking for their releases.

[XL]

I was about to say “Nah, there will be some pay off to it”, then checked myself.

[Evil Vito]

I'm setting the deadline for payoff at the night after WM. I could see Hawkins and Ryder randomly beating The Revival for the Raw tag titles in front of their "home" crowd in Brooklyn.

They'd probably just drop them back the next week and that would be the end of it.

[Bad News Gertner]

Kinda pains me to say it, but if Ryder is only being reunited with Curt Hawkins to lose matches to other teams...yeah, both would be better off asking for their releases.

They are both more than likely getting paid a low 6 figure downside to lose 5 minute matches once or twice a week. Plus Hawkins runs his own wrestling school and gets occasional appearance from WWE talent. They aren't good enough to join NJPW or AEW so more than likely they'd slog it out on the indies. Ride this out as long as possible.

Feel like its more wrote/read/enjoy/save

Ugh. Ryder already did that once with the Intercontinental title.

If they convice Ryder to do it again, I want a big check.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bit surprised TJP wasn't released sooner since based on his Twitter habits, he came off as someone who was probably very annoying to be around with backstage.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I doubt the AEW will be signing the MRA.

[erickman]

But they did him a favor releasing him now, this is the best time to be in the indys. wonder if they are going to release most of the rest of the 205 guys too.

[Jordan]

TJP will go to Impact as Suicide I bet. Which would probably be a good move. Arn? I want to know more about this, why? Is he too old school? Is he a problem? What's the story?

Tye, I dunno... I mean he's really good but I don't see him ever being a top guy. Honestly think he would fit well in NJPW if he could find a good partner.

Arn might just simply be part of the on-going transition to Triple H and Steph's future ownership of the company.

Triple H has been gradually replacing Vince and Kevin Dunn's people while stockpiling his own at the same time.

[xrodmuc316]

Is it really spring cleaning if its just guys who asked for their releases?

the funny thing is trips is bringing in almost all tna people.

Not in TJP's case since its seems he got abruptly fired due to some unknown reason.

Rumor going around the net is him being similar to Enzo and Big Cass in regards to being a big pain to work with. Also had the recent incident of him publicly claiming all the credit for the booking of Richochet's RAW debut and claimed WWE stole the idea from him.

Only consolidation for him is Tye and Itami also didn't get the usual "future endeavors" line for their release announcements.

[Evil Vito]

Reportedly one of the reasons for TJP’s release was the fact that he got arm tats without receiving approval from the office.

Seems dumb, half the dudes in the company are inked up.

[Stickman]

They need to release everyone under 6'0'' and 210lbs. I don't want to feel like I'm bigger than 85% of the roster.

[#1-norm-fan]

If they actually do involuntary releases then The Ascension, Breezango, and No Way Jose should probably turn off their phones.

If WWE releases Fandango and AEW doesn’t immediately make him the face of the company and overtake WWE within months then any hope I have in them is immediately shot.

I agree with the sentiment behind this but the midgets have their place. Just don’t push them in the same division as the Lesnars of the world.

[Fignuts]

Fuck that, Lesnars best matches are with midgets.

[#1-norm-fan]

Meh. His best matches since his return have been the first match against Cena and the WrestleMania match against Goldberg.

[#1-norm-fan]

And when he lost the title to Fandango in my nightly dreams/ wrestling sim game.

Baron Corbin mentioned something similar in a recent interview about not being allowed to cut his hair or get tattoos without permission since it would have messed up promotional stuff for WWE.

Probably also included WWE's yearly games even though usually have out-dated stuff at launch or shortly afterwards.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if he developed the fetish before or after watching Natty's farting gimmick

[Mr. Nerfect]

TJP is probably going to be TNA bound. I predict The Ascension, Epico, Mojo Rawley and No Way Jose won’t be too far behind.

[Emperor Smeat]

Speaking on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer claimed that the former TJ Perkins' release was due to "disciplinary" issues, noting that while the precise details surrounding him being let go are mostly unknown, a number of company officials and wrestlers have claimed he was difficult to work with.

Could be related to his rant regarding Richocet's main roster debut last week and as a possible last straw moment for his antics.

[Vastardikai]

TJP is an MRA POS. I imagine him being a pain in the ass to be around. I have folks I don't hang around with as much because of their rants.

[Fignuts]

Hope Itami goes to NJPW. His style would fill in the gap left by Shibata.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think KENTA will go back to NOAH.
