All-Purpose News Thread Part II

[Emperoreddy]

Now it's official that Ziggler has been released.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Sure, but they also were making a lot more money than most of the office workers and, if they managed it properly, won't have to have a financial stress.

Health insurance likely sucks up a considerable portion of that.

I'm not sure what WWE does for travel expenses these days. I would think they pay for flights and hotels but I'm not so sure they're paying for meals and other expenses.

wwe/ufc got no shame already laid off 100 plus staff now going for wrestlers while triple hand other top guns take multi milion dollar salary bonuses.. smh..

There have been like 5 wrestlers since the beginning of time who managed their finances properly, so that might be wishful thinking

Yeah, good point. Being Canadian, I always forget that.

Now it's official that Ziggler has been released.

Would lay money that he gets whatever suppressed creative freedom that has built up over the last decade+ out of his system over the next few years, and then returns as either a trainer or an agent.

Dude is way too talented to not have a career in the business past his in-ring career. He just never had Vince behind him and the audience is now trained to not give a shit.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Now it's official that Ziggler has been released.

There might be an open spot with the Wingmen in ROH or wherever they call home for him

 

[hockey20000]

Releases are inevitable, but you've gotta laugh at the lack of awareness by firing a bunch of people to cut costs on the same day details leak about your new TV deal being an $80M/year increase lol.

they justr dont care man they havnt for years

 

[Sheppy]

It hasn't as of right now. Assholes have fired up some fake SRS twitter accounts and mudding the waters.

Only official names as of fight now are.

Ali
Elias
Moss
Aliyah
Emma
Top Dolla
Boogz

Edit: add Shelton Benjamin

Tamina right now:

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Yeah, good point. Being Canadian, I always forget that.

Pretty sure even the Canadians would be paying for something better than the standard healthcare considering the occupation.

 

[Grackle Party]

Ziggler cashing in on ADR is one of the few bright moments of that era for me

 

[Emperoreddy]

Ziggler is buddies with the Bucks so I'm sure he will be in AEW sooner then later.

Or he'll stick to stand-up comedy? I read he's really into that.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Stevie recently did a video about how un safe Nia Jax's banzai drop was, assuming he did one for Fenix but it's been pulled down.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I doubt he would need to pick one or the other.

He dated Amy Schumer, so I doubt he's got great taste in comedy lol.

Two guys dropped right on top of their head and neck in something like 2 months?

... They're kinda vindicating WWE banning piledrivers.

 

[BostonBob]

Wait - I've been released. You know what that means:

 

[Emperoreddy]

Filing language makes it sound like Vince is either going to willingly get out entirely, or be forced out by TKO if/when the investigations currently going on bear fruit

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Wait - I've been released. You know what that means:

Pretty sure he mistook "His work is the shits", as he's difficult to work with, when it really means he's just a shitty wrestler.

But based on that Tweet, he could form a hell of a tag team with Lio Rush.

If you ever saw his stand-up routine you would really want him to stick with wrestling.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Keep waiting on Jax to be on that list

That tweet was posted yesterday, before his firing though.

Regardless, that guy is an insufferable douchebag.

 

[GKJ]

Think you’ll be waiting a while

Maybe he was told yesterday and the news was made public today.
