C.S.

AEW should sign any and every woman it can get its hands on - when it's able to - because the AEW women's division is absolutely abysmal. Ember Moon, Sarah Logan, and Maria (as a manager) would be an immediate shot in the arm. I don't think AEW as a rule should be stacking its roster with WWE castoffs, but when it comes to the women and tag divisions, the more the merrier IMO.

Did WWE.com stop updating the release page?

Rusev now official.

Hmm...

The Police Chief sounded like Chief Wiggum - total fucking imbecile. Snuka's wife also came across as totally blinded by love, but perhaps not as much as Tonga Kid did. An unrecognizable Muraco didn't help himself when he said he was glad Snuka was never arrested during their run because they were making so much money together. The wrestling bubble is a real thing, folks.

Now I have more sympathy for The Revival not taking the money, because as we're seeing with this and saw with Bret Hart, WWE absolutely will not honor anything like that.

Such horrid optics to send No Way Jose and Sarah Logan to a live Raw and endure multiple COVID risks along the way, only to fire them two days later.

No Way Jose

Zack Ryder. Boo Boo Boo!

Maria is gone now too, but posted an hour after Mike. These are presumably posted after the wrestlers are informed. Why wouldn't she have gotten the news when Mike did?

I'm doing a hard refresh on the WWE.com page and not seeing Mike Chioda or Sarah Logan's names. Weird. Update: Now I see it. Had to exit back to the main page and click on the link again.

Where are you seeing that?

HOLY SHIT! Kurt Angle was just released.

Aiden English added to the list.

IMO, these releases prove that AJ Styles and Bray Wyatt have zero sway with anyone important in WWE - otherwise, their best friends and dad, respectively, would not have gotten future endeavored. Sad but true.

On April 15th. Those bastards!

NJPW of America is a DOA joke - NJPW has zero clue how to navigate the American market - but if Karl can make some scratch for a couple of years while NJPW incompetently bankrolls this inevitably failed experiment, good on him.

Such coldhearted timing on WWE's part. Scumbags!

Drake Maverick being fired is such a boneheaded decision. He was just as much responsible as R-Truth for the success of the 24-7 division. Lio Rush being fired sucks too, but he'll become a star elsewhere. Gallows and Anderson are shockers because they just main evented WrestleMania. Then again, so did Eric Bischoff. I wonder how AJ Styles must be feeling right now. Not happy, I'm guessing. Releasing Slater is also stupid because you could at least get a mini-program out of him with Drew and/or Drew and Jinder. The rest were expected but still sad. Mike Kanellis lives another day (for now).

I hope all is well with you too, man. I actually defended Cornette (kinda, sorta) in the AEW thread. Or even Piper painting himself half-black at WrestleMania 6. Times change and what's considered appropriate and acceptable changes. People in major media positions don't have the luxury of being old and out of touch.

Jim Cornette is awful, but Joey Janela is somehow even more pathetic. Janela hasn't accomplished a fraction of what Cornette has, and he brings absolutely nothing to the table as a wrestler or entertainer. I'll never "get" Janela's appeal or understand how he sells out cruises, but good for him, I guess. He probably shouldn't be calling anyone a cuck, BTW, considering that his former girlfriend married the next guy she met. (I realize that's not what a cuck is, but his usage of it is just as inaccurate.)

You are trying to argue with the wrong person - I've never given less of a fuck about anything than I do NASCAR.

The fuck? What the fuck do Vince McMahon and Dana White know about running the country?!

I guess NASCAR could too?
