Spring Cleaning 2019
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. |

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

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

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. |

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

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.

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

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. |

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.

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.

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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