The Nature Boy Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Wouldn't it be bad PR for WWE to release Rose after ESPN dedicated a large portion of a special to talking about how sick his kid was and how they needed the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yeah, but it was bad PR to give Titus an overkill suspension after he'd gained a lot of good press for the Celebrity Dad Of The Year award and his Susan G. Komen work, but they did it anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No indication or hints on who the person who is safe... for now... was Expect more names by the end of June with the expiring contracts Considering that Cameron was clearly the lowest woman on the totem pole and couldn't even stay in rotation on NXT, you'll excuse me if I call this Meltzer saying "I don't want to be a man and admit I fell for the same fake Joey Styles Twitter everyone else did earlier Friday, leading everyone to think Summer Rae was future endeavored- so I'm going to try and save face and make it look like it was a last minute change."

It's too bad and heart breaking that he has a sick kid, but it's not up to WWE to keep him employed for the rest of his life because of that. He's been given chances and he's not really that over and wouldn't be missed if he never came back. What is the upside of keeping Ray Leppan employed outside of the fact that he has a sick kid, especially when he fails the wellness program twice?

Matt D Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The bigger issue is that he was suspended and then produced a doctor's note and WWE hasn't made a peep about any of this. If he was fired now, I think there'd be some media surrounding it, especially due to the situation with his kid and how public that was due to ESPN.

Spritenaut 32 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'd be really surprised if anyone outside of Meltzer would cover Adam Rose's firing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Rose producing a hand-written note from his doctor to excuse him from the medicine test is kind of hilarious. Riley wasn't in developmental for a decade. Sure it feels like it but it was probably more like 5 before he got called up as Miz' sidekick. He was doing the Raw Pre-Show and NXT commentary for a couple of years before that last in-ring NXT run. It's not like he spent the whole time after the Miz feud running drills at the Performance Center. I mean, that probably wouldn't have hurt him or anything. Barrett was probably in developmental as long as Riley. He started back when they still had OVW. I've never understood people thinking he should've been World Champion. Pedestrian in-ring talent. Perpetually sidelined with injuries. Barrett's the guy WWE should've been transitioning over to commentary. He's good at it and can't hurt himself sitting at a desk. Sandow's another guy I've never understood the appeal of. If WWE still used managers he'd have some value but once the bell rings, there's just nothing. Also, really terrible Macho Man impersonation. El Torito is the only in-ring cut that matters. WWE left so much money on the table with him. And I still think they should've broken the Wyatts away from Bray and put them with Zeb as their manager.

hammerva Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 According to PWinsider.com you can add Steve "Brooklyn Brawler" Lombardi to the list of people released. Given how long he has been there this is rather interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Look, you can't tell me that a team of Ryback, Barrett, and PJ Black in King of Trios 2016 wouldn't be worth watching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my head, I'm picturing Steve Lombardi working as a biochemist while wearing his Brooklyn Brawler gear, complete with leather cap and chomping on a cigar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zev Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Does this mean the WWE isn't producing documentary DVDs anymore? Seems like he was a talking head in dozens of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Brawler was usually the one in-charge at video shoots/backstage promos, so it makes sense that he was on all the docs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Cameron was not too good in the ring but she did get some of the character stuff right. She would have been a good valet or manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, this was covered by, I want to say Court Bauer, maybe, on a few podcasts. As Ace said, Lombardi was the guy in charge of rounding up talking heads for the DVDs and he often would pad things out (to put it in a nice way) by filming himself talking about every single subject. Eventually, Vince caught on and asked "WHY THE FUCK IS BRAWLER ON EVERY DVD?" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would have been a good valet or manager. I agree. She wasn't a good wrestler using any criteria. However, she's attractive, has personality, and fits a demographic WWE desperately needs to court to boost ratings/revenue. She also showed some talent for talking, so being a valet would have been perfect for her. I could easily see her alongside a heel Dolph Ziggler, doing something similar to what Miz & Maryse are doing now. The GIRL BYE thing gets mocked, but it was fresh and current at the time she was pushing it. She even got a t-shirt out of it. Still not sure why she got hired in the first place but since she was, put her in a position to help get someone else some heat. Besides dancing behind Hornswaggle, of course.
