The Purge (Tony's Version)

[hammerva]

For some reason Dasha Kuret was released today.  Apparently this won't be the only one in AEW

Stu Grayson released. Might be more.

Is he still a baker in his day job?

[John from Cincinnati]

Slim J has been released.

[DragonZombie]

Might need a thread.

[John from Cincinnati]

Gravity and Jose the Assistant too 

[Craig H]

Awwww...Jose being gone sucks. Gravity was dogshit in a lucha outfit so no big loss there. 

[DragonZombie]

Jora Johl and  Parker Boudreaux too.

[Technico Support]

Trench not answering his phone right now

Preston Vance changing his SIM card like Stringer Bell…

[Kevin Wilson]

Its interesting these are coming out as 'releases' as TK has historically not released wrestlers but rather let their contracts run out. Not to say these aren't early contract releases but I wonder if they are wrestlers that were on per-appearance deals or if he is changing his thought process.

It’s all eSIM nowadays tho

Add Anthony Henry to the list.  Never mind that he is a hell of a talent, he I believe is also injured 

[DragonZombie]

I said that. So 10 people cut. 

[Kevin Wilson]

Current "official" list of those released:

The Boys
Dasha Kuret
Jose The Assistant
Jora Johl
Anthony Henry
Gravity
Stu Grayson
Parker Boudreaux
Slim J

[TheVileOne]

They should terminate ROH while they are at it. Make Supercard the last show.

Anthony Henry being gone sucks. I really liked him and JD Drake together. I hope this doesn't mean JD is on his way out.

It also sucks Stu Grayson is gone again, but I don't recall him being used after the Dark Order/Righteous feud.

i'm going to miss the boys. they add so much to dalton's act and its good to have some npc's

You could always get two extras to do that…

Re: the cuts: We don't know what we don't know. People are real quick to jump and make lasting statements so they can get out there first or just to get things off their chest.

That said, of what we do know, I sure don't like it.

[Octopus]

The new CEO is mad with power

[username]

If they cut Henry and not Drake A.) that sucks for both of them, and B) makes it seem like they cut him for getting hurt (on an indie show, albeit by another AEW talent) which... is a real bad look.
