Wonder what was the final breaking point?  I mean it seemed like that they wouldn't release him until the last minute of his contract

Meltzer said a few weeks ago that there are some who have been arguing behind the scenes to just let guys go if they ask for their release. (In upper management I should say)

So it could be someone finally getting Vince to relent.

But I would also say that it only applies to these two and the next one who asks will be told to go fuck themselves

Can add the Ascension to the list of people being released

Way too many hoss teams in the WWE right now for someone as average as the Ascension to still be there

BLACK SUNDAY~!

[HarryArchieGus 441]

What are Brodie Lee's golden bouts?  I've never seen him before but I get the impression he's about to become a big hoss player in AEW.  
 

[RIPPA 31,797]

Btw - for the moment - the WWE article now says it’s only Viktor who was released

EDIT - never mind it’s back to saying both where

[For Great Justice 1,039]

I was just saying last week that AEW was missing a big singles babyface hoss (though Luchasaurus could be that guy).

This works nicely. 

[alstein 600]

The Ascension also forgot to turn off their phone and were released.

Gotta figure Harper is AEW bound. Would AEW have any use for the rest of those guys?

I could see The Ascension in The Dark Order

“The Big Rig“ Brodie Lee coming to AEW?

I’m hoping for “The Right Stuff” Brodie Lee. 
 

 

[RunningFromAmerica 1,212]

The Ascension were so infamously jobbers that I don't think AEW can really sign them.

People forget I think that Sin Cara was awesome as Hunico, and I think he has a number of options.

So am I responsible for the Ascension getting fired? At this point I really thought that those guys were somehow going to be lifers.

[christopher.annino 882]

I'm pretty sure that, at least for a little while, anybody could go to AEW with a "we got held back fuck those guys" attitude and speech and the crowd would be happy to have them. 

I mean, AEW crowds seem to cheer almost anything, face or heel, chanting We The People for fucking Hager, etc.

[RunningFromAmerica 1,212]

The crowd will, but that doesn't necessarily translate to a TV audience.

The Ascension are probably a good fit for NWA - Latimer used to be in The Ascension lest we forget so there's an interesting dynamic there.

Konnor's a big dude, but he never really seemed to get good, from what I can tell. But I really don't think they can be seriously pushed on TV as a team.

 

[MORELOCK 3,140]

Ascension would very definitely need a strong repackaging in AEW - as has been pointed out, there are already way too many people working the dark pseudo-goth gimmick.

[just drew 1,747]

Does Sin Cara own the rights to the Mistico gimmick?

[Custos 536]

Harper tearing it up in Japan would be very welcome, provided that his body is up to the task. Otherwise there is a prime slot in AEW for him to fill.

Agree that NWA is the best place for Ascension. Just please don’t have them be yet ANOTHER dark and spooky act on AEW.

Hunico is now free to hook up with his buddy Camacho again in New Japan.

Check out his feud from Chikara with Claudio Castagnoli.

[Eivion 3,362]

So is it known that the guys getting released are free to roam anywhere or might there be a wait on them joining a place like AEW?
