TBF I imagine Hornswoggle's merch sales outstrip Kendrick's. Better wrestling is pretty low on Vince's list of priorities (see: rehiring Chris Masters).
Hopefully he can go to TNA and maybe help reignite the X Division which has been looking quite lackluster as of late. |

Think of it this way. There's a guy on your payroll who doesn't bring in as much money as the others, has been given a golden chance to prove himself, and is known to like the whacky tobacky. I know what I would've done. It's just a shame for both parties because there was always potential there. |

Yes but then it got a little edgy i.e. the "Attitude Era". it raised alot of negative publicity from mostly parents. They had to tone it down to reach a broader audience especially kids. |

I don't see their motivation either. The fucked themselves in the ass years ago with the Attitude era - I know very few parents who are willing to let their kids watch wrestling due to its reputation. They're just too late, and haven't done enough to make parents aware that they're now kid-friendly. It's Catch 22 because they can't actively and overtly show that their key demographic is now kids because that's going to drive away adult fanbase, but without making it clear that they're going in a new direction they're not going to win over skeptical parents. If I can see this, why can't the overpaid yes-men at Titan towers? |

I've said it before about Kendrick. He's a great talent, but when you put smoking pot before your career you're a fucking idiot and deserve to get fired. And this is coming from a longtime marijuana user.

Didn't know about his drug usage...in that case, you can kinda justify it, but then jeff hardy is world champ...

Jeff hardy was also concerned about his job, was already over with the fans 100%, and had a real solid history with the company.
Kendrick went from "You aren't utilizing my skills" to "I'm getting stoned, here's your fine". |

I'm pretty sure the no complete clause is for televised wrestling. Cabana briefly mentioned it in his shoot. He got called on Thursday and told he was released. Right after he called PWG and told them he was free to wrestle for them. He was in a 3 way dance with Chris Hero and Human Tornado for the PWG title.

Never saw much of Kendrick, but he looked like had some potential. So I'll go with the flow and say it sucks as not to get punched.

I'm surprised they never really made a gimmick out of his whole willing to pay for weed or at least have it be the basis for something like how CM Punk used Jeff Hardy's drug problems be the basis for their current feud.

That's ridiculous. Have you realised that current direction the WWE is going in, and that something as explicit as having a guy who basically pays his employer so he can smoke weed would be in direct opposition to that?

Funny, the current World Heavyweight Champion is in a storyline directly related to drug use. And the heel is the one opposing it.

There has been no explicit mention of specific drugs, and the focus has been on that Hardy was a drug user and no longer is. He's portrayed as the guy who made mistakes and took drugs and has overcome his demons. It's nothing at all like a guy who currently uses drugs and pays for the pleasure, to which his employers agree. The issue of drug use has been dealt with very differently. This 'drug user' character Kendrick would be endorsing drug use and abuse, showing that both the wrestler and the organisation accept it's prevalence. In the Hardy angle, it's been made clear Hardy was suspended for drug use and has suffered the consequence - thus showing drug use negatively. |

Still doesn't make much sense to have someone against drugs, especially in their current direction, be the heel. And Punk has made mention of specific drugs.

For the record, I'm not complaining about the gimmick, I love it, just using your logic.
