haha! so fragile. who's boots am i licking, considering I don't watch shit?
I just don't hate everything because I'm not a narcissist who thinks he knows best than the people actually doing the job. You and CM Phyllis are a lot alike. Fragile ego, fragile mind, and most likely fragile body. It all makes so much sense now. |

Also really enjoyed Ziggler's feud vs Dean Ambrose over the title... was years after that trio and Ziggler had already fallen off the radar, but it showed how easily he could be shot back up

If you’re a main roster talent sent back to NXT you gotta be worried. Baron Corbin’s fan better relish what he can for now.

Nah they’re blantant guest stars looking to boost ratings ahead of rights negotiations. They’re also still on the main shows (all of them in the case of Dom). Guys like Ali and Dana Brooke were sent down indefinitely with no exposure on the main shows. Corbin is the latter.
But I don’t actually think he’ll be let go. |

Ikemen Jiro released and nobody noticed. Much like his run in the company.

The weird thing is, Bugenhagen had one of those "intangible charisma" deals for a hot minute. For a couple of weeks, he completely took over NXT with the air guitar and dancing with random chicks. Then he was disappeared off of TV for who the hell knows how long, only to come back with a shortened name and over-the-top screechy promo delivery. Total WWE move in "if it ain't broke, break it because we didn't come up with it". Quote:

Probably a smart release. They tried REALLY hard with the dude, but he seems a little nuts. Just one of those magnets for drama. Him in AEW would be…hilarious.

Oh shit, if they could get Shelton Benjamin too. Mike Rawlis, Tenille Dashwood and Jeff Sculio as well. Would be a warm start to the year for a company looking to very slowly expand.

Riddle went off the rails a lot the last year. I also wonder if his beef with UFC factored in at all.

It’s weird that the overwhelming majority of these releases I think would do better in Impact than AEW. Ali is the only one I think immediately fits in AEW. Think he’d fit in well quickly like Swerve did.
I’d love to see Riddle, Shelton, and Ziggles go to Japan if they’re interested. I dunno if any of them are up for that grind but I think their styles are all well suited for that transition. |

Personally I would live to see Shelton Benjamin have an AEW run for the matches he could have but dont see him making a splash there long term. I'm not a Ziggler guy so no bothered either way. I dont really know the rest as I dont watch the WWE product at all really. |

Despite not being a huge Ziggler fan I could see him and Cardona doing a bit of a running battle across the indys popping up in the smaller of the big three from time to time.
They have a similar charisma to me despite not being into either myself. |

I agree that almost everyone will be better off in Impact than AEW in any other sense than money, but the money will talk and the guys that know each other will try and talk everyone into it.
Mustafa Ali is the no-brainer. He is obviously a muppet, but Danielson likes him and has a lot of sway. He’s of Pakistani descent and from Chicago. He’ll probably be Mr. Collision, providing the show isn’t dropped. I can see him winning the Revolution Ladder Match and TNT Title very soon after coming in. Tony will probably buy Nick Nemeth his own comedy club. He might be at odds with some of the talentless fucks there, but he’ll probably stay in his own lane because he doesn’t give a fuck anymore. Shelton Benjamin was wise to never go with TNA when they were #2. At his age, he’ll probably sign a deal worth over $1 million to come in and wrestle Danielson before becoming an enhancement guy and coach no one listens to. Tenille Dashwood will come in to do softcore angles with Saraya and Toni Storm and just be there. Her fiancée, Eric Bugenhagen and Elijah “You Might Remember My Brothers” Sampson will probably travel with them and be undercard enhancement, bodies for the shows and probably World Trios Champions at some point. Aliyah will be there. I can’t even remember who else was released. They might have the sense to stay away from Riddle for a year. Ikemen Jiro will probably go to Impact too. |

New Japan could be a good place for a few of the releases guys. I absolutely hated Darren Young in the WWE, but he got really good from what I saw from New Japan.
Bring him back to feud with CM Punk. Issues from the NXT game show days, with Punk’s failings as a mentor as the fuel. |

And as far as Riddle is concerned, I hope he takes a short break from wrestling and work on improving his health. Posturing bravado and burning bridges doesn't make for an ideal employee (or independent contractor).

Mace and Mansoor not crazy, but they say some wacky things. Mansoor alleges the Saudi deal meant he couldn’t lose on TV, which ruined them. That doesn’t make sense because he got fired.

LOL naw Tom, that was Yoshi Tatsu. Ikeman has to be at least 10 years younger. Tatsu was the guy they booked to beat Chavo one time where Chavo complained, and after he left WWE he is one of the guys that took the Styles Clash wrong and broke his neck.

So my first point stands, and WWE are destined to hire another Japanese guy and call him Jiro.
Jiro Bronson. And you may say "No, they have Bronson Reed", to which I will say they'll take away part of his name, as Vince is want to do occasionally, and he will just be "REED". |
