Michael Sweetser Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Yeah, using Goldust in this comparison is a bad move considering he's still one of the smartest workers on the roster, and really should be on a permanent NXT gig training people up at this point. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Fair enough. But this Golden Truth shit has got to get the hell off my TV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know the can/bottle deposit is ten cents there?? Also if Goldust gets let go I'd be so damn mad. Not only should he be training guys but he should occupy that "random legend" spot previously held by Hacksaw, Piper, Snuka etc for the foreseeable future 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wade Barrett makes it official, per twitter. Done a few weeks early. Says he's gonna take a break from wrestling, but will be back "when the time is right." What makes you think we're gonna need a thread? They haven't had a "purge day" for a few years now... EDIT: That's what I get for not checking twitter before posting. Dang. No one they'll miss, but I feel like Riley could've been marginally more than he ended up being...

He can take the semi-annual match spot Sgt. Slaughter used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Barrett is a good fit for TNA, provided his healthy days per quarter line up with TNA's taping schedule. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaldo Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 28 minutes ago, A Guy Named Tracy said: So far the list stands at Santino Marella, Cameron, Hornswoggle, Alex Riley, El Torito and Zeb Colter. Are they updating this based on when the talent answers the phone? I'd put my phone on silent if I were Fandango. EDIT: I mean Jack Swagger since three of us made the same joke within seconds of each other. This list should at least double by the end of the day. I don't think Fandango is a mistake. Even with his recent TV time there is not much for him. Does Sandow stay? 21 minutes ago, Dolfan in NYC said: I don't think that's ever been a concern. Hell, I half expect Tyler to get tossed out also. (Of course, keeping 47 year old Golddust & 44 year old R-Truth over Fandango & Tyler would be infuriating.) If you can make it to 40 you are set in terms of a job and push. That makes no sense but it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 After all the stuff with his drug test, gotta feel like Adam Rose is sweating today too. Although, they might keep him around so as to have some control over his social media output for the foreseeable future. And boy did Zack Ryder "get hot at the right time" or what? Three months ago, he's getting ulcers. Now I think he's squarely in the safe zone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that, too. I think he's moved himself ahead of some guys though. Fandango, Swagger, Slater, Rose, and Konnor all come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wanna see anyone lose their job, especially when it's at the highest level one can get in their profession, but his shoot interview deal would be unprecedented, right?

There is no reason to keep the other guy in the worst tag team on the roster. At least Konnor looks like he could be a good wrestler, he's not, but he looks like a guy who might be. The other guy is the balding guy with a ponytail, who looks like the old guy who is trying to hit on chicks way too hot and way too young, for him at the bar.

Wyld Samurai Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 If there's anyone on the roster that I'd want them to be released for their own good it's Bo Dallas. He needs to get to Japan for a year or two. It would do him a lot of good growth wise when he returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I selfishly want Dolph and Sandow to keep their jobs, simply so I don't have to see them on any indie shows, surrounded by wreddit posters talking about how they were underutilized in the WWE and actually were the best workers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdangerously Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 They can't get rid of R-Truth. He still hasn't found out what is up. Maybe if people would finally answer the damn question instead of just repeating it back at him... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 For what it's worth, R-Truth is actually really good in his role. I don't watch wrestling for goofy comedy segments, but I can't lie his confused gimmick gave me a couple of laughs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterien Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Sandows release is sad yet unsurprising, the pops he got during the Miz storyline were so good. EDIT: On one of the sitez~! (lords of pain) it lists the people that were released and then a couple of items down has Zayn talking about his WWE future and E.Young talking about his contract status. I found it humorous.
