C.S.

I hope he sues the shit out of them for firing him after he got sick. Probably won't go anywhere in court if it did happen, but a man can dream. Fuck WWE.

Sure they were, Johnny...

How do you release Keith Lee? Sheer, staggering, mind-boggling incompetence.

Tons of releases. https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp Eva Marie Mia Yim Harry Smith Keith Lee Nia Jax Karrion Kross Lince Dorado Gran Metalik Jeet Rama Katrina Cortez Trey Baxter Zayda Ramier Jessi Kamea Hit Row's B-Fab Oney Lorcan Ember Moon Franky Monet Scarlett Bordeaux

It's Jericho going back to the same well as the "dirty, disgusting, brutal, skanky, bottom feeding trash bag HO" line about Steph with similar verbiage about VanZant, because what worked 20 years ago must still work now - except it doesn't.

CagesideSeats: Dana Brooke’s boyfriend arrested after allegedly punching an internet troll in the face Instant WWE release for Dana Brooke? This is bad!

Maybe, but who knows. Someone better not tell them that Mox also misspelled the name in his book.

I understand Manda's raw reaction, even if I don't necessarily agree with it, but what's the beef with Jericho and Kalisto? There has to be more to it, because this is pettiness to the extreme IMO. Update: Response from Kalisto

I'm fully aboard the Dan Lambert train after tonight. I didn't like him at first, but he's great.

If we never get another tasteless angle like that ever again, I'd be fine with it.

I will give Gargano credit. A couple of years ago, I was sick and tired of him and wanted him to move to Raw or Smackdown, even if he'd be wasted, just because he desperately needed a change of scenery. Then The Way came along and he became an awesomely goofy midcard heel. The guy is extremely versatile. WWE should do everything it can to hold onto him, because he'd definitely be an asset to AEW. My guess is is decision will hinge on Candice's contract status. If she still has a couple of years left, I could see him staying put.

Thanks. Sasha is only 29, so that explains her omission.

What is the criteria now for getting nominated? I was under the impression that Sasha's career began years before Charlotte's.

Jim Cornette, is that you?

I definitely agree. But as you yourself said, his apology was shit and I have to assume the payoffs to charity were a company mandate. He hasn't said or done anything else in years, but he also hasn't atoned or issued a true apology in all this time either. If he does so now, after all this time, it's only because he's desperate for a job. Others have definitely said and done worse, but that shouldn't automatically excuse or diminish his actions (not that I think you're trying to do either - I know you aren't). I could see the Briscoes landing in NXT because WWE doesn't give a fuck about issues beyond lip service, but I'd be surprised if AEW took them. I guess we'll see what happens.

I'm guessing it does, if no one major has bothered to sign him by now. He never landed in AEW even though he has friends there.

Any chance of The Briscoes landing in WWE or AEW? If I'm being honest, hopefully this homophobic jackass never sniffs a major promotion.

You're not wrong, but NXT is a developmental fed, and nothing that happens there matters in the grand scheme of things. If/when Bron is called up to Raw or Smackdown, that's when the stakes actually become real.

Why do anyone take these clowns seriously?!

Except, here we are... Everyone is being released and I'm anticipating a fire sale for the ROH branding and footage next year. Doesn't exactly sound like Sinclair is "all in" on ROH anymore - not that they ever really were in the first place.

If ROH goes up for sale, does AEW bigfoot WWE and buy them? It would be worth AEW's while - just for All In, if nothing else.

Could the ransomware attack on Sinclair have anything to do with this? I imagine they had to pay a pretty penny to take care of that, and one of the very first expendable properties afterward would naturally be the rasslin' company.

WTF?

I'm surprised there haven't been any posts about Greg Hamilton's release. First he went scorched earth on a rapper for daring to use a short soundbite of him - look up "fair use," asshole - and threatened to sue him into oblivion with WWE's lawyers. Bad idea! Then his wife outed him as a verbal abuser. Now Greg is gaslighting everyone by claiming the release was a mutual decision. No one remembers now, but he also went off with nasty, tactless comments against Lio Rush after Lio's release, only to backpeddle and delete after. Methinks Greg has some serious anger management issues.
