Matt D Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The real trick is for it to last long enough until Vince forgets it exists but where it still has a steady roster. That's how it ultimately worked with WWECW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 They should just make it WWE Dark errrrr… Saturday Night. Their fans really just want to see what WWE considers main roster “stars”. Their fans don’t want to see development dress rehearsal anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 what's the 2022 equivalent to "we'll let Christian show up on one of your shows" since Christian isn't actually in the WWE anymore? is Angle under WWE contract? he could make an appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’m choosing to consider that this is WWE needing the IMPACT rub, rather than the other way around! I’d kind of dig it if both Rumbles had some more random “forbidden door” people show up. Like 1997 when they had random luchadores in the Rumble because they were in Texas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I just realized that Abyss still works for the WWE as a producer (knock on wood!) so if Impact needs someone for one night as a payback, Joseph Park could make his return 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Holy shit, who had “understaffed due to firings, WWE borrows talent from Impact to fill Rumble spots” in their 2022 predictions? Weirdest timeline. Slash your payroll, ruin your talent pipeline, then hire cheap labor from somebody else when you need it. I guess this is the wrestling equivalent of offshoring staffing. WWE did want to be run like a real corporation, I guess. Edited January 8, 2022 by Technico Support 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, on the corporate side, they did seem to treat their actual employees (that have nothing to do with creative and further away from Vince) pretty decently until 2020, unless I'm forgetting something similarly bad from earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
