I've read a lot of "how can fans/kids get invested in wrestlers when they just disappear"
You mean like the territory days into the 90s |

Yeah, but weren't some of those shows broadcast nationally? And wouldn't they do stuff like "Loser Leaves Town" and what not?

Wrestlers would come and go, show up randomly in other promotions all the time with no explanation. Look at the WWF during their expansion.
Buzz Sawyer for example. He randomly showed up with Cap Lou as his manager in April 84 and left a month later. No explanation. He was just there and gone. |

Man, when I was young one of my friends's dad wrestled in a local fed. They would regularly hold shows at "Tyndall Armory" downtown which was awesome. I had no clue his dad played "two wrestlers". He had a Justin "The Hawk" Bradshaw gimmick with the cowbell and western look..... but he also played a masked babyface called "The Creeper". He had a long feud with a young "Flash Flanagan" (caught one his shirts forever ago too). That shit was so cool man. His dad would take us to//from and we always thought he was The Creeper, but we never were able to find his gear at home or anything, to confirm it. I wish like hayell I could remember the name of the promotion, and dig up some tapes. |

If you're invested in a wrestler you really like then go watch them wherever they turn up next. It's not hard.

There is a massive difference between watching a new guy come into a territory and do an angle against an established team/personality that is both easy to follow and clear, than to watch “Top Dolla” have a few random matches on Smackdown and then disappear forever.
They have cleared out so much crap and, when you look at the list for their 25 man battle Royal, there is still so much more. They don’t establish ANYONE anymore. Guys aren’t coming in to do fresh angles with established stars. They are coming in to do no angles with guys who also aren’t over. Just random matches on TV, don’t get over, released. It’s a result of 10+ years of terrível booking, and now, there are no Undertakers left to call for your big shows. |

That's what came to mind. Jeffrey Cohen was the promoter.

Pretty much RIP HHH's Performance Center/NXT staff for the most part, though HBK and Jeremy Borash both seem safe.

Can't imagine why they would get rid of Regal and Steel, especially with the direction they're headed with nxt. Incredible assets for developing talents.

William Regal was probably 'too expensive' for Nick Khan.
He's one of the best minds in wrestling ever and a great promo/gimmick coach and Regal knows exactly the stuff Vince likes and wants on the main roster...but maybe they can hire Johnny The Bull at a fraction of the price or something instead. |

Wiliam Regal debuts in AEW as Eddie Kingston's new manager, whose constantly trying to teach 'Edward' about the classier things in life.
Make it happen TK. |

Gah....
Hate to say it, every damn time one of these happens, but... Thatcher is a must sign for AEW. One of those along with Keith Lee that should have been and AEW Original but swiped right on NXT when it was still good. |

i mean thatcher is fine and i even grew to enjoy him when he was feuding/teaming with ciampa, but he is definitely not a must sign in my eyes.

They should release Roderick Strong, finish off Undisputed Era completely, especially if they are already releasing Diamond Mine guys.
Also, was Regal still considered NXT's GM? I cant recall him doing anything GM related since 2.0. Still a baffling move though, dude did a lot for NXT. |

I never saw Thatcher much in NXT but I saw him live a few times at indies I always thought he was a stand out, plus he has a size a legitimacy about his style that I really like.
