Craig H Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Just now, Eivion said: To be fair the general assumption is that IIconics and Kairi are likely on their way out anyways. I'm shocked this one is happening considering the relationship with Charlotte, being US champ, and just having an entire episode built around him. Everything you're responding to has already been debunked. I wonder if Vince et al forgot Lars Sullivan still works there. Also, I saw someone say Maria got released with Mike.

NikoBaltimore Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Man, I almost wonder if it's worth separating all this into its own topic with how fast-moving all this is. But the more people that get announced the angrier I've been getting with WWE. Yeah, I know recent XFL developments didn't directly lead to this. Same for donating to some Super PAC. But it did indirectly lead to it at the same time as these are just some of the boneheaded/fucked moves that WWE has been been doing for quite some time. And to have all that money including $500 million for essentially rainy day funds there's little to no excuse for all these cuts to happen. If some wanted out anyway then more power to them. But for those that didn't this whole thing just really sucks. The only silver lining is after all is done if still available/willing WWE could bring them back. But that's still a long time without steady income no matter how hefty the severance pay was. Edited April 15, 2020 by NikoBaltimore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) I don't want to jinx anybody, but there are some longtime employees contractors whose names I'm surprised we haven't heard yet. Chioda's WWE debut was in 1989. Wow. Edited April 15, 2020 by West Newbury Bad Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same energy. A lot of it is an excuse to shed payroll. I’m sure Publix is looking to get rid of managers that have accumulated raises through the years, I’ve seen it in the past.

I think Chris Dickinson booked himself across like 17-18 shows that weekend banking on getting a sniff from one of the Japanese groups... he went all in on getting noticed by SOMEONE and everything went south.

It's easy picking on Ryder, but it's well known that Taker didn't exactly look after his money that well and Dreamer doesn't have the balls to take a shot at him. He's just jealous because Zack was the true heart and soul of ECW. Edited April 15, 2020 by ComingToAmerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did any merch or worked a lot of dates they were probably pulling in double that. The hard part is needing to fund a lot of your own expenses.

They probably only got offered new contracts to keep them out of AEW. I wouldn't be too surprised if Vince harbors some animosity for them. I'm guessing they've also figured out that, contract or no, they were probably only getting a push and tv time to placate AJ. And AJ was already saying he is going to retire this year.

Dreamer is supposedly good friends with Ryder though, and was teasing him about it. Taker he wouldn’t say anything about, because he knows he’d be blacklisted for life at that point. Not that I think there’s a chance in hell of Dreamer making the WWE HOF anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably was his only purchase that week, but overall he’s spent at least the amount I guessed. He’s posted about some of his bigger purchases on the forum I mentioned.
