Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 37 minutes ago, RIPPA said: Also apparently Seth Rollins did an IG live video that didn't go as well as I think he hoped it would Mainly because he was trying to defend the company and did some version of "today is not the day to be negative to the WWE because people lost jobs!" Seth will never learn. Just keep your fucking mouth shut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Andrade release is the most surprising so far, Rusev might be the bigger name but he wasn't being used since the Lana/ Liv angle and honestly they only used him because of the Lana affiliation. Andrade has been protected more than anyone other than Charlotte or Drew lately. He's obviously going to still be used on tv as will a few others. Even the talent that still get used that are contractually released they are working under alot of uncertainty. This is a crazy time. I wonder if we are seeing the end of Hunters version of Developmental. Vince could decide he'll just focus on the main roster and downside like they did in the mid 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an ambiguous "pray" emoji on his twitter and Charlotte posted a broken heart emoji followed by a photo of her and Finlay.

RIPPA Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Someone posted it here after seeing someone just throw it out in a Discord. Not a single other place had mentioned it then or now So it was basically the equivalent of a fake Twitter account on a sports trade deadline day Andrade has not been released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be fun watching people losing their jobs. This day was coming for WWE for awhile since they had a bloated roster, Eric Young was still getting paid unbelievable, but its at such a rotten time with uncertainty in the industry. We have a time with so much talent available but who knows where anybody will be able to work Edited April 16, 2020 by Serious Darius Bagfelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Great Justice Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hawkins and Slater on the heel side and Jose and Ryder on the face side were four of their go-to opening match (dark match, live event) guys.

I am sure Vince wasn't hoping for that To me the Seth Rollins video is the WWE version of "Thoughts and Prayers". Do they actually believe it and have some bad feelings? Maybe but it isn't going to change their opinion on anything. Edited April 16, 2020 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricochet and Cedric Alexander will probably be the face team and I wouldn't be surprised if The Forgotton Sons, AOP will be the heel team or maybe the newly turned War Raiders will be that team once their fued with Street Profits ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such a fucking scummy company. a school that's been a source of talent for the WWE over the past few years, no less. And how long did he have this job? Definitely less than a year, right?
