My theory: The reason they haven't fired him is that in WWE terms they have flown under the radar for the most part in this whole thing and they think if they fired Dream it would get picked up by mainstream outlets.

That seems quite possible. It seems strange to fire him now when nothing new has come out for a few weeks and he's still denying it.

There’s gotta be something else going on that no one knows about

Well he was apparently in a car accident as well.

Joe Coffery (NXT UK) has been suspended for inappropriate conduct.
Referees Joel Allen and Chris Roberts have been released for similar.

 

[IceColdOx]

I like Tessa' work, but she's got baggage right now. Let her go to NWA or ROH and rehab her image. Besides, WWE has women like Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler that they aren't using.

WWE reportedly buys Evolve Wrestling from its parent company. Indications are that the sale didn't include the talent, which will have to be signed separately.

They have a lot of people in the PC who don’t get enough air time, so I don’t think they need to keep talent that was signed to them. But unlike from when before Triple H was in these roles, they understand there’s value in these independent promotions. I think they bought this to run it, which would obstensibly make it not an indy, but now Triple H will have a new playground that Vince can stay away from.

Shayna Bazler is MIA. People wear she is still with WWE but missing person reports have been filed by fans everywhere.

 

[CDJ]

Rey Mysterio is apparently working without a contract right now according to Meltzer

******* wasting a talent like that is so Vince.

This has nothing to do with wrestling news, but I feel the need to post it here.

... I just randomly recalled that WWE once thought it was a good idea to do a series of videos on a depressed referee violently trying to commit suicide and portray it as comedy. This, by the way, began a month after Eddie Guerrero's death.

So, if you ever question, "How can WWE be so stupid", remember this...

WWE needs to get away from that 90 Day Fiance matchup. It's not going to go WWE's way, even with that Prichard magic.

America loves their reality tv shows...

Prichard is anything but magic. The guy sucks.

 

[DaBadGuy316]

Prichard is just an extension of Vince at this point.

 

[ColePens]

It doesn't matter who is doing what. They have refused to invest in looooooooong term stories for too long. To turn that tide, it isn't 1 month. They need like 1-2 years of solid long-term booking ending in great stories. They refuse to do it. Everything is about a quick hit in ratings.

And every single 1 step up in a slight up tick is met with 5 steps back because they refuse to tell stories. You know what keeps people coming back? GOOD STORIES. Tell me a great story.

 

[JackSlater]

I think that everyone except for Vince McMahon knows that.

 

[DaBadGuy316]

Surprised at that AEW number with UFC and Nascar on.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

I think that's always been the case. Or at least why Vince loves him.

 

[KIRK]

And keeps going back to him . . .

I didn't know this was a running joke for (checks playlist) 16 segments.

Good Brothers signed with TNA with the ability to work NJPW.


They also did a podcast detailing everything that went on from when the signed their extension with WWE up until their release. Apparently they're not too fond of Heyman and Styles HATES Heyman now for screwing them. Also were very close to going to AEW and when they didn't kinda got some heat over there with the Bucks and others which led to AEW basically not being an option this time around.

That looks stupid on AEW's part. I was pretty surprised that those guys ended up on Impact.
