Well, not as far. He's still employed. I really hope they're just not looking at all the obvious potential he used to have and hoping the heat dies down. Letting some fairly good members of the roster go for "budget cuts" and still having Dream there is obviously not a good look. That's exactly what they're doing I think. 4 minutes ago, mrpaddyx said: Has JTG made the cut? Haha! Was hoping that Bo Dallas could be the new JTG in that regard, but he must have been spotted and remembered.

cb_diamond Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I know that every year they release people and it's genuinely surprising to people but the iconics and Joe??? GTF!!! Stupid decision. Billie in particular will be absolute gold wherever she goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost criminal that they didn't do any kind of program with him and Bray Wyatt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad old Vince is probably back to believing that brothers don't fight (seemingly he didn't want Bret vs Owen, at all, because he thought brothers didn't fight, and had to be talked in it by numerous people). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And granted it isn't his brother, but didn't he quite eerily talk about how he'd happily have murdered his step-father? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhafc1874 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 It's almost criminal that they didn't do any kind of program with him and Bray Wyatt.Yup.Had Bo sat in catering for best part of a year & half yet "creative had nothing" for him.Bringing him back as a crazed version of his original Bolieve character as Bo Wyatt alongside Bray either as Bray's backup or even as a terrifying tag team would have made sense.Still seems likely that at least 1 of the extra-crispy Fiend appearances was Bo not Bray as well. ---Samoa Joe & the IIconics will be picked up immediately - probably by AEW - as there is money to be made with Billie Kay & Peyton with Joe bringing so much experience both in ring and out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I seen someone say the IIconics are better off with Impact and it's hard to disagree from aspect of how they get used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 AEW already have far too many folk. They don't need to sign any of these released wrestlers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I can only assume that Vince doesn't know NXT UK even exists, they seem to dodge the mass release bullet every time. Outwith WALTER, I can't see many people on that roster who will ever have a career the States. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I can believe Joe wanted to wrestle and was maybe getting sidelined by WWE for being a liability with injuries. He was a great commentator though and it was a crime he was never world champion. Tremendous talker and looked and fought like a mean p***k. Shame for the Iconics who were... Iconic. Both of them (but Billie especially) were incredibly funny. The footage is lost for some reason but them accosting Drake Maverick backstage was so funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even about being small necessarily more that he looks like an extra in Peaky Blinders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Think I may have mentioned it here before but the Wrestling Bios YouTube page is excellent, the Reliving The Wars weekly episodes where he rates the weekly Raw vs Nitro episodes is great nostalgic viewing and the guy is hilarious and a clear wrestling fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
