WWE and other fed: Disccusion

WWE is laying off more people due to the Peacock deal.
https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2021/5/25/22453453/wwe-restructuring-layoffs-tv-reportFunny thing, Tony Schiavone figured this would happened months ago on his podcast when the Peacock announcement happen.

Mark Henry signs with AEW to be part of the commentary team for the new Rampage show and to be a coach in AEW.

Not that he’s a bad talker but I sure hope he’s gotten better from his one and I think only commentary stint. The show where he laughed at Lawler making fun of Jake’s alcoholism.
-
Yeah, some of the release today were just shocking. I mean seriously both Black and Ruby were beginning to get their storylines underway this past week on Smackdown. I won't be surprise if Black, Ruby, Murphy ends up being in AEW, ROH, and Impact in the next couple of months. From what I read there are still more releases are coming.

Definitely curious to learn how much money they're saving with these cuts.
-
Nick Khan isn't playing around. Looks like WWE is getting ready to be sold.
-
Andrade just appeared on Dynamite, and he's part of AEW now.
-
That was his' and Charlotte's big news?
Be awkward if true.
-
I guess WWE doesn't care much about their fans after those comments Triple H made the other day during the NXT press conference. Also those comments makes it seem that WWE can't take any criticism from their fanbase.

Those comments specifically?
Vince McMahon and some of his yes men are well known to be a petty assholes who can dish out criticism but can't take it.
But what really kills me about those comments?…..People actually agree with it.
Basically if you hate WWE because of years of them fucking you over in the ass with bullshit?
That's your fault, not theirs, yours.
-
Can someone clarify exactly which quotes we are talking about here, I've read some of the selected ones by various sources and I personally am struggling to see which ones seemed to cause the most offense? Heck to be honest I'm more offended by last round of cuts rather than thecomments.. and when I say that I'm pretty sure I might be missing something incredibly obvious.
-
I'm mostly talking about the comment that Triple H said that fans ruins things by overthinking about the storylines. Which I think stupid thing to say, since we all know that WWE haven't really been good for awhile. Besides Smackdown from the summer of 2016 - Wrestlemania 33, the lead up of Kofi becoming World Champion, and the current Roman heel storyline, WWE have so much to be criticize for their main roster stuff. For example, at this point I'm mostly done watching Raw due to how bad the Shayna and Alexa storyline is. But man, I feel bad for the fans that are going to be attending those three hours episodes of Raw next month when WWE begin going back on the road.
I still mostly enjoyed NXT, but I'm already tired of Kross being NXT Champion. I never was a fan of Kross when he was in Impact and I can't stand him even more now that he pretty much defeated everyone in the main event picture in NXT now.
-
AEW enters WWE territory in September.
-
I just wanna say that Doudrop is a fucking terrible name.
-
Man, I feel bad for Viper. She doesn't deserved that name. Also I rather have an Asuka vs. Viper single match then this tag team match with Eva Marie.
-

What for so Asuka can lose another match…...or win a match the week after a loss?
I just wanna say that Doudrop is a fucking terrible name.
I mean is it any worse than Kelly Kelly?
-
Alister Black/Tommy End is now in AEW.
-
Bayley has a torn ACL and will be out 9 to 12 months. It really sucks for her since they're about to be out in front of crowds again. She was one of the MVP's of the pandemic/thunderdome era.

Paul Orndorff's passed on.
I admit, I first saw him here, so I might not get his legacy as much as others:
!
-
Wait… so Pillman wasn't a full time member of AEW. Quite surprised to hear that given the regular use of him on the roster overall.
Ah well, fantastic news for him to be able to get a full time contract there.
-
Michael Elgin got arrested. I'm not really surprise about this. Especially with all the stuff that came out about him the last couple of years.
-
The pop from the crowd that Edge received gave me chills. It's great to have fans back.
-
Well, Slammiversary had a big cliffhanger with Jay White appearing after the main event. And its seems that Impact will be starting off the Bullet Club Civil War storyline between The Elite and the current version of Bullet Club.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Here is Tama Tonga's reaction of tonight's ending.
-
So Jey Uso gets popped on another DUI wins a title.
If only RVD in 2006 and Jack Swagger in 2011 had connections.
-
Great…. Kross is debuting on the main roster tonight. In both of his Impact and NXT runs, I never really care about this guy. I mean seriously, he's one of the most boring wrestler ever.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Thank you, Jeff for defeating Kross!
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
I'm happy that Nikki won the Women's championship. I always been a fan of her when I originally saw her on one of the Shimmer dvds that I got, several years ago.
-
Guess Nikki Cross and Rhea Ripley are no longer the worst NXT to main roster debuts.
Also nice to see Keith Lee return to do a job to Lashley.
-
Kross debut is up there. But nothing can't top to what happened to The Ascension.

SAnitY?
At least the Ascension won matches before (& after) they got buried, they also stayed together even during that weird period where Konnor was getting a push. I mean I know they also had the added bullshit of the commentators for no reason burying them but still.
Also if you want a good laugh.
-
Well I didn't expect this to happened. We're getting an Jericho vs. Nick Gage match next week on AEW.
-
The fuck ?
-
Yeah, that was my reaction when I saw Nick on Dynamite a couple hours ago. Other news, this kinda a big blow to WWE, Bryan Danielson could be going to AEW.
https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/report-daniel-bryan-has-signed-contract-aew
-
This company got 7 years with Danielson and horrendously dropped the ball with him over the majority of that time. And yet there are some morons who think guys like him were never misused.
-
So much for having a plan.
-
Great episode of Dynamite tonight. That Gage and Jericho match was insane. I can't wait for Jericho vs. Juvi next week. Also I'm hyped for that AEW is setting up an Tanahashi and Moxley feud.
-
Juventuud Guerrera is wrestling Jericho in 2021? Jesus
-
WWE continues to be really petty towards AEW.

Bray Wyatt released… Not a big fan of the Fiend stuff but it is shocking.
I think Vince is doing mistakes now left and right, which soon will backfire
-
Wow…. This release is a shocking one. Bray is underrated talented, wherever he goes next AEW, Impact, or ROH. He will be an star for them.
-
Budget cuts my ass.
-
This post is deleted!
-
These budget cuts are getting end of WCW bad in my opinion. I mean releasing one of your top merchandise sellers is really bad move.
Your top merchandise seller who you repeatedly fucked over for years because you needed to get your aging/stale stars some shine.
-
I just hope that Bray is doing better mentally. Brodie's passing hit him really hard.
