You have to remember, too. This is now on ESPN. So non-wrestling fans look at that and say "Oh wrestling fans are f***ing losers. I'll continue not watching. Even Rousey hates them."

And whether it was full on work or not, look at perception of non fans. Was that really a good angle to go with?

 

[JackSlater]

Yeah while I wouldn't be surprised if Rousey and WWE were collaborating on these wrestling related thoughts she's putting out, I also fully believe that they are pretty much her actual thoughts given what she's said regarding UFC and how she seemed to handle crowds in WWE. I don't think that complaining about the crowd in a way that makes fans look bad in a non-wrestling setting is a particularly good "work" either, though there is at least something to what she says regarding fans and expectations.

 

[BostonBob]

So the Revival's new non-WWE wrestling names are Cash Wheeler ( the old Dash Wilder ) and Dax Harwood ( the old Scott Dawson ).

WWE also had a Class B stock in the XFL.

[GKJ]

Been a while since they went on a cutting spree.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

The only cuts that really stand out to me so far are Chioda and Armstrong. Two guys I assumed were lifers.

That, and the fact that Ryder remains immune.

Edit: aaaaand Ryder gone. Along with No Way Jose.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Brutal day for those released. Most surprised about some of the backstage names. Wonder if they're the most likely to be back once all this lifts, whenever it does.

The producers and agents are rumored to be furloughed and expected back as soon as there's stuff to produce again.

Coronavoris + hoarding talent that they weren't using for a year + needing to keep a certain profit margin for shareholders.

Recipe for disaster.

 

[CDJ]

Love that Rusev is finally free

 

[SladeWilson23]

I've always felt WWE simply had too much talent.

 

[HandsomeHollywood]

Ember Moon and Mickie James added to the rumored list with the IIconics.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Looks like that was just Raw...

 

[Sheppy]

Hard times right now, gotta think had Vince not spent so much f***ing money on trash "guest hosts", trash part timers, and trash experiments that most of these people would still have jobs.

f***ing clown.
