Just for fun and Rousey stuff aside - released and not renewed are two different things. If websites/journalists have previously reported someone as being released when in reality their contract expired that's incorrect reporting and they should learn that words have meaning.

Sounds like Gulak may have been more than just a guy innocently grabbing drawstrings
Drew Gulak Accused of Deliberately Attacking Real Injuries in Matches
The recent departure of Drew Gulak from WWE has brought to light concerning allegations from some WWE NXT talents, who have labeled him as a "bully" known

I was hoping with Vince gone, they'd bring back the numbered Wrestlemania, specifically roman numerals. I think it makes the event seem more important.
Not sure how true it is but I remember reading years ago that Vince didn't like numbering Wrestlemania events because it made it seem old.
Other than XXX and XL, I don't think they've numbered a Wrestlemania since around Wrestlemania 27 or so.

From a fan standpoint Minneapolis would be a helluva lot cheaper than Vegas.. Vegas prices have only got more insane the past 3-5 years.

That is on purpose. There was talk they want to move it into the first weekend in May (this weekend) to avoid the cold.
I should say though, if Wrestlemania was this weekend, it’s been raining all weekend in Philly. And it’s cold today.

That’s on purpose. There was talk they want to move it into this weekend in May so that the weather is nicer. Although had they done that this year, the weather is worse in Philly than it was a month ago. But it was also 90 the other day.
They did 2 PPV’s for years, nothing is stopping them. They haven’t moved the Rumble though. But 2 extra weeks of ‘the Road to Wrestlemania’ should be better business.

Yeah but Mania is like the Super Bowl. It's not for plebes. If you're going to Mania you can afford Vegas prices.

Let's not forget that we are on a site where the distinction between "re-signed" and "resigned" is hard for some people.

Lol no it's not. Same as Chicago outright terminating Corey Perry's contract would not be the same as a team letting any UFA walk.
You can argue the reason all day, but not renewing somebody is not the same as firing them.

The answer appears to be no. He wasn't renewed because he is a bully to the NXT talent and they had enough of him allegedly.

Ticket prices will be what they will be (I have no idea what WM tickets normally go for).
But would going to a tourist city like Vegas with lots of hotel rooms and lots of restaurants help keep those other costs down? Compared to say Minnesota where there are less of each and you can get that price gouging from the existing hotels and the AirBnB crowd abusing the lack of supply.

I was thinking the same thing, but for flights. The tourist destinations like Vegas and Orlando are way cheaper to fly to than Minnestoa for sure.
It's probably already been covered, but apparently a few days ago Meltzer was claiming that Roman and Heyman were the two pushing for Roman to go over Cody at WM39, with the belief that it'd make Cody, Jey, Solo, and others bigger stars.
In hindsight, they were absolutely right. (Minus Solo) And it's a good thing because otherwise that kinda makes you look like "That doesn't work for me, brother". And I really don't think Roman's a backstage political douche, so he gets the benefit of the doubt, there.
... Then again it's also coming from Meltzer, who doesn't have all that great of a recent track record with WWE.

I get the total opposite vibe from Roman as well. I have no doubts that he lobbied to go over the first go-round with Cody, with a plan in place to do the job for him in the near future for Cody's first world title win.

Definitely worked out for Jey. His rise is honestly one of the more unexpected things I've seen in recent years.
I would never have expected Jey Uso to be as over as he is. 5 years ago I didn't even know which Uso was which
