MikeCampbell Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I have never heard that report ever. I did a google search, to make sure I'm not crazy (I still might be, but not about this. . . . ) They credit Meltzer with the report. I let my sub lapse, so I don't know if there's any validity to it, or if they're just using his name for the hell of it. http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/backstage-news-why-kassius-ohno-was-fired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened was that wrestlers in developmental who he had told this in confidence to ended up telling those in management and that sealed his fate, combined with his age and the fact they had no immediate plans or ideas for him on the main roster. I can’t even tell you he said it, but that’s what management heard from other wrestlers. Advice to people, if you have something that frustrates you regarding how you are pushed or treated and need to vent, do so to friends outside the company just to be on the safe side. I wish I could tell you about guys in the 80s who had that attitude of wondering why they weren’t pushed at the level of guys they were better than and told people about it. Luckily those guys weren’t cut, because who knows if without them, WWF would have done any business in the mid-90s. From speaking to a mainline star there a week ago, he said it is by far the weirdest it has ever been, to the point they can’t believe what that part of the business is turning into. So seems about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ok but he wasn't complaining to management or in public. He was snitched on by another wrestler. Sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it's not like he was wrong, such a dumb thing to let the guy go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Wasn't Seth Rollins almost let go for making similar complaints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeg Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Why do all of Meltzer's articles read like my drunk texts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...TG Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Why do all of Meltzer's articles read like my drunk texts? Because he writes a short novel of a newsletter every week and doesn't have an copy editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
