Is the empire crumbling before our eyes?

[kas]

Nia Jax is the most surprising on this list. The fact that they didn't know what to do with Keith Fucking Lee shows just how deep their incompetence runs.

[Strummer]

Eva Marie now gone.

what a comeback that was

[NintendoLogic]

Eva Marie gone as well. I'm sure everyone recognizes that experiment was a complete failure.

[C.S.]

How do you release Keith Lee?

Sheer, staggering, mind-boggling incompetence.

[C.S.]

Sure they were, Johnny...

 

[Jmare007]

WOW at Keith Lee, Scarlett (basically she's Dunn and Vince's prototype) and Nia Jax.

Mascara Dorada and Biff Busick back. I hope they get tons of bookings, make good money and start having dope matches everywhere.

[kas]

Didn't they just sign Eva Marie and DBS Jr? Now they're gone almost instantly

[sek69]

Keep in mind the company just did their Q3 investor conference where they announced they were adjusting their projected profits *upward* about an hour before "budget cuts",

[Strummer]

They literally just debuted B Fab on SD a few weeks ago and now she's gone

[Boss Rock]

Literally the night they announced record profits. I'm not surprised, but I also am kinda stunned at that kind of callousness.

[MoS]

Keith Lee is as close to a can't-miss prospect as there ever can be in wrestling. It is incredible how badly they fucked him up. I know he got sick, but they booked him bad before his illness, and booked him bad in his comeback. Absolutely stunned at how badly he was handled.

..and yet people still insist "plans change" is just an excuse from THA SHEETZ for being wrong.....

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.

[Strummer]

It seems the only female talent they really trust are the Horsewomen and Alexa. Maybe Bianca as well.

 

[MoS]

They released an Indian Hindu wrestler on Diwali hahahahaha. This is just beyond parody, man. What a company. 

[KawadaSmile]

Man, I am reallly sad for Lee. Shit sucks ass no matter how you look at it. He was even getting some nice vignettes more recently (same as Kross tbh). Nick Khan just taking no prisoners, man. Holy shit.

Them releasing B-Fab is really weird timing, too. She just debuted, possibly didn't have a huge contract... What's the story here?

[sek69]

I get the impression from reading between the lines on his timeline that Lee isn't going to be too heartbroken over this. I think he realized pretty soon WWE was going to fumble things.

What was the number of signed wrestlers in January 2021 and what is the current number?

You won't believe this, but according to this site, the number actually increased from 267 to 276.

EDIT: It seems they still have to update with today's releases, but still the difference is way lower than I would have imagined.

Holy shit that is truly depressing.

 

Edit: Cole and Fish still on that page, not even sure when the last update was so not trusting that site.

[strobogo]

What a great run Harry Smith had. A dark match and COVID.

[sek69]

Between the releases and the entire Queens Crown tournament totaling like 18 minutes of ring time, and killing the women's tag team titles by splitting up all the teams,  it kinda seems WWE doesn't really want to be bothered by women's wrestling anymore. 

[sek69]

Also Fightful mention at least some of these releases were due to vaccination status. Considering Nia's been known to be q anon adjacent at times it does make one wonder.

Could be Kross and/or Smith too - both are supposedly MAGA.

[Coffey]

I'm not going to pretend to shed any tears for Nia Jax & I hope no other wrestling company touches her with a 10-foot-pole. She's unsafe & downright dangerous.

That being said, some of the names on the release list shocked me. And apparently they're firing whole couples at the same time now? Mia Yim & Keith Lee. Scarlett & Karrion. John Morrison better not answer his phone!

The literally just brought Eva Marie back & now she's released again. Heh.
