Thats why I think they should let them go, they aren't worth the hassel. Even if they stay and get a push, once that stops they will be right back at square one. Its not a good relationship between the 2 parties.

Same with Sasha, just let her go.

Neither of them are Austin/Rock type stars. WWE has like 800 wrestlers under contract between all the brands, if wrestlers are unhappy there are plenty waiting to take their place.

To say they’re not worth the trouble is to not have a full grasp the landscape of pro wrestling right now.

They don’t have to be Rock/Austin level for them to make an impact in AEW to get them off the ground especially since they’re not going to be getting 8 million people watching Vince doesn’t want them making better use of the talent and doesn’t want the presumption out there that people don’t want to be in WWE. Revival, Sasha, Luke Harper are just the people we know about, and there is definitely more. If Vince didn’t feel threatened by AEW much less New Japan then he probably would just let them go. On the other hand, they probably would be less inclined to leave.

apparently The Undertaker, Triple H, Jason Jordan and people in Hollywood (Jason Baker & Jack Reacher iirc) have been helping with the Firefly Fun House segments and putting ideas together with Bray for them.

Undertaker was reportedly involved in Wyatt’s new gimmick and Wyatt is in store for a big push per ringside.

"Wyatt is in store for a big push" is probably a sentence that's been used countless times before and anytime its started...it's been shut down instantly in favour of a Cena or Orton. But it's nice to see that Taker has probably now worked more with Bray in this angle than he did in their actual feud.

Also why would they velcro the belt up? Why even make a change at all? You have the button version...it's lying around and available...what possible reason could there be to swap it?

Wyatt's pushes end the same. Let him get over on someone that is popular but not a Vince guy then feed him to Vince's guy. lol

 

[Cor]

What. The. ****.

That's embarrassing.

What's worse, velcro belt? Or Cena's spinner?

I think velcro tops it.

The RAW women’s Championship and Women’s Tag Championship are Velcro IIRC.

Also, Macho Man used a Velcro strap

UFC has used Velcro as well

- Kurt Angle revealed he signed a new 5 year deal with the company to work primarily as a Producer. Kurt also revealed the deal allows for him to work part-time on TV, as a manager.

 

[Disclose]

Lol who cares if it’s Velcro.... lol
Literally complaining about nothing here. (Those who are)

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Velcro feels cheap for what it’s supposed to be. A gaudy piece of jewelry but it’s way far down the list of things to worry about with the WWE

Nothing says prestige like the sound of Velcro tearing as you lift your championship to the air.

It’s the perfect title for an 86 year old man out on the shuffleboard courts.

Throw that title in the trash already. No one cares about t.

 

[Disclose]

It’s just a prop... no one should give a damn. It was already ugly before....

We can laugh at WWE for like almost everything. Velcro is the last of my worries.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

That championship is a f***ing toy anyways. Velcro is fitting for it.

 

[Jussi]

All this talk about velcro made me want to post this:

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Killian Dain is set to rejoin the NXT roster.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Also, Ariel Helwani broke the story tonight: unless there's a hail mary play, Brock Lesnar to UFC isn't happening and UFC is moving on.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Lio also doing absolutely no favours for himself with this stupid tweet, like Heavy Machinery haven't (reportedly) been staying late and cleaning up, and Aleister Black was staying behind and picking up towels in the locker room in 2017 when he was doing runs of main roster tours until Roman Reigns told him to stop and that he was one of them.

 

[Sheppy]

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Brock Lesnar's retired from MMA according to Dana White, and they're shifting to Cormier/Miocic rematch now.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

saw it when @GarbageGoal posted it, am still extremely turned on

someone with a really good production team did this and I'm trying to figure out who

 

[Cor]

And people said he’s going to retire lmao

He’s gonna be AEW’s top star.

Moxley is back!

 

[Cor]

Killian Dain is set to rejoin the NXT roster.

This is good. Dain is good.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

- WWE is adding 2 months to Dash Wilder's contract for time he missed with a broken jaw back in 2017.

This company is beyond f***ing petty.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Apparently The Revival not accepting WWE’s offer last night is what led to the back shaving skit and losing to Hawkins and Ryder again.

WWE’s offer to Joey Ryan is said to be “nothing special” and they mostly want to keep him away from AEW.

This company f***ing sucks but it's typical Vince trashy humor. Those guys are so good and WWE Managed to f*** them up

 

[KaseMeOutside]

- Lio Rush may be shifted back down to NXT.

There’s been issues since November on the latest European tour. The junior member of the roster usually waits in gorilla and hands talent water after their matches, and carries the coolers into the hotels on the European tours to set up a common area for talent to socialize but Lio wasn’t doing it. When talent tried communicating with him that he was making a mistake, he complained to management and that scored him no points with anyone.

He has heat on him for bringing family and friends backstage with no credentials and not listening to veterans.

The guy who no sells power bombs thru tables is also an idiot IRL...hard to believe

 

[Deen]

K, now I am hyped and hope it is AEW. Blood back in Wrestling.

 

[TNT87]

Talk about creating a buzz.
