WWE ROSTER PURGE - 9/21/23

[ChesterCopperpot]

Is this the start of the talent cuts?

 

[AxB]

Mustafa Ali is now a free agent.

[Matt D]

You figure Ali would have been a little safe since he was promoted for NXT No Mercy on the 30th.

[Ace]

According to SRS, It's just an individual cut, not part of mass cuts.

EDIT: This aged poorly.

Apologies if this was posted elsewhere as it doesn't really pertain to TV but I don't see a "WWE General Discussion" thread but Mustafa Ali just announced he's gone from WWE. I always liked him and would love to see AEW pick him up but I'm not really sure he's someone they'd jump at. He's older than I thought (37!) but has that youthful babyface energy. Anyway given all the issues he's had with the company over the years I gotta think this is for the best, whatever the reasons are. 

[AxB]

Tenille Dashwood (Emma) has been released 

[hammerva]

Emma is also released from the company according to her

[Peck]

Oh no... they got Boogs. No more McAfee shredding on the announcers table.

[RIPPA]

Aliyah just tweeted that she was released too

[AxB]

Yeah, looks like it’s firing season at TKO. Might be time to start a dedicated thread?

[Gonzo]

Rick Boogs is reportedly out, too, according to Fightful.

It would appear that the next purge has begun.

[RIPPA]

I am now positive that now that I made this thread - no one else will get released

Especially seeing as we're talking about cuts from the year 1999.

They fired Los Boricuas. Life ain't fair.

Batman (1989). Big reason why I'm a lifelong Batman fan growing up on Batman (1966), Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992) and Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995). Still love Batman and Batman Returns even with killer Bats.

[J.T.]

We will use it to announce the official arrival of Jade Cargill to the roster now that they've freed up the salary cap.

[hammerva]

Well give that the thread shows 9/21/99 the wrestlers today should have seen it coming  

[The Natural]

On topic, I feel for those who are out of jobs today unless wanting to be released like Mustafa Ali has for quite sometime. What might have been if he wasn't injured in 2019 and KofiMania happened instead.

[Peck]

At least Emma got a future husband out of her "comeback".

[hammerva]

Top Dolla has been added to the list.  I don't know what Michael Cole thinks about this

 

[Peck]

Elias gone. Never forget the Seattle heat.

And that future husband has been released too. (Riddick Moss)

[The Natural]

Just now, Peck said:

Elias gone. Never forget the Seattle heat.

Nuclear heat.

Underrated moment, Kevin Owens spinning on his stool as Elias plays the opening chords.

Elias or Ezekiel?

From looking at her Instagram, she doesn't seem to be needed an indie career to make a living.  She and Riddick are living the good life and then some.
