Scarlett Boudreaux
Ember Moon
Franky Monet
Oney Lorcan
Jessie Kamea
Trey Baxter
Zayda Ramier
B-Fab (!!!!)
Katrina Cortez
Jeet Rama
Gran Metalik
Lince Dorado
Karrion Kross (!)
Keith Lee
Mia Yim
Eva Marie
Harry Smith (never made it to TV)
Nia Jax (wow)

Lee isn't really surprising at this point, I don't watch the main roster but I've heard his been painfully misused. I had no idea about Bearcat until this thread. Maybe AEW for him? I could see maybe Monet going there too since she's married to Frankie Kazarian. This list is mostly nothing but mehs though. Didn't even know Smith was back with WWE and I've never even heard of Baxter, Ramier, Cortez or Rama.

Kross seemed DOA after I saw the pic of his Scarlett-less bounty hunter/Demolition/S&M debut. It all seems like just a big middle finger to HHH if you ask me. It's funny the promo Adam Cole cut on him was making the rounds on twitter after this was announced.

I ditto your ! on B-Fab Hit Row literally just got called up and I saw Alvarez or somebody tweet that she literally just signed a new deal last week. Jax sucks but I thought she had "being related to The Rock" protection. But every woman on the roster is now safer after that one.

Nia Jax supposedly asked for more time off to work on mental health. She was expected to return on November 15. Her release was their answer.
 
I guess she's QAnon like Kross so it's likely they were antivaxxers like Nia Jax.

Alavarez said there were I guess more than 3 people released who refused to get vaccinated. Stupid idiots..

I guess that makes sense. Her BF I thought also had a good look although I'll be honest I only seen him a few times so I can't rate mic or wrestling skills. Even if he was marginally talented in the other 2 areas you would think it would be easy just to get him over via his looks(ie the Psycho Sid appeal)

Monet is married to John Morrison

She seems like she'd be a good add for AEW, they could use a few more quality ladies on the roster, and in the few times I've seen her on nxt she seemed to exude an it factor or carry herself like a star

I didn’t think Taya was anything special and I didn’t feel that about Franky Monet. She felt like the female Kross where she got the huge Triple H entrance designed to move quickly to the main roster. She also just turned 38 and they’re not ‘developing’ 38 year olds anymore.

She was posting anti-vaxxer stuff, which means that she couldn't travel. The mental health stuff just seems like a cover. The bottom line is that she was terrible in the ring, terrible on the mic, when you watch her in NXT and then on the main roster she was much larger. She continually hurt opponents and didn't seem to care all that much. I think her wrestling career is done, I doubt AEW wants to bring her in, maybe Impact, but why?

She'll go back to her modelling stuff.

If she comes back hopefully it’s in impact so that it’s not AEW. I’m guessing you’re right though.
 
Any reliable resources that have tracked what has been redacted from Peacock? I am trying to determine what has been removed from the ECW library. I am assuming the Sandman crucifixion was one of the first things to be purged.
 
Torn ACL for Zoey Stark suffered in that ladder match that like none of those other women should've been in besides io shirai
 
from today's pwinsider.com:

WWE Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch commented on her recent confrontation backstage with Charlotte Flair at the 10/22 WWE Friday Night Smackdown taping during an appearance on the SI Podcast.

When asked about the confrontation and her relationship with Flair, Lynch said, "I don't know, man. We don't talk anymore. We don't talk. So, what I'll say is the locker room needs a hero sometimes and sometimes, somebody's got to be a hero. I'm alright being that hero. That's what I'll say on that matter."

When it was brought up that Lynch is slated to wrestle Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series, she was asked if an issue of trust between two performers makes the job more difficult.

Lynch responded:

"Oh, 100%. 100% more difficult. Yeah and that's the thing, when you've got two people that are wanting to work together to make magic, then you make magic. Sometimes when there's hostility, when you can't trust the person, then you never know what's going to happen. You always have to be on guard and we have to it's, it's like a game of chess. You have to be thinking two steps, three steps, four steps ahead. What are they gonna do? How am I gonna handle it if they do this, if they do that, if whatever. So this business is built on trust. It's built on working together and that's, that's, that's the art of it. That's the beauty of it. And if I make you look good, you make me look good. This is, this is what it is. It's an art. It is a beautiful art, an art that I love more than anything. If people don't know how to make that art, then it becomes, it becomes difficult. It becomes tricky and you never really get the full potential, but, but there's intrigue there too, you know, because we never know what was this meant to happen or was that not meant to happen? What's going to go down. So there's interests in both ways. One way. It's, it's the beautiful, pure art of pro-wrestling and the other way, it's a bit of a show. So we'll see what happens."

When asked if things are difficult right now with Flair, Lynch commented, "Yes" and pointed out that they used to be best friends before the conversation drifted elsewhere.
 
Working rumor for wrestlemania is a triple threat: Roman, Lesnar, McIntyre
 
Snooze.

I will watch Mania if Walter is worked onto the card and that's about it.
I’ve been wanting Walter/Brock for a while. I think that’s a big money match, but they’d build it over a week, rename Walter “Walt” and have him come out on a child’s bicycle or some dumb shit.

I want Walter far away from WWE main roster.

The more mainstream they go with this, the more I think they’re working it a bit.

I feel bad for Walter. He came around the wrong era. Can be said for a few guys but Walter in NWA and/or Japan on the 80's...damn. Dude would be a legend.

He is supposed to be on Smackdown tapings in the UK. Might take a gander on The Cock and see what they are doing with him.

It has been difficult for me to care about the promotion of Pockets but this was a welcome sight. Did not seem like many cared (nor would I expect a Pockets crowd to care) but I like AEW paying respects to local wrestling history.

What does "pockets crowd" mean?
