I had no clue he had been there for that long, so yeah, he should have been better than what he showed on NXT.
Maybe, but she was still pretty bad. The last matches she had on Main Event or her feud with Becky were subpar.
Been a while since we've had a batch of releases.
I had a soft spot for Xia Li, enjoyed her NXT story with the 1,000 year old ghost witch even though it felt like a halfhearted attempt to do Lucha Underground stuff. Thought her intro vignettes when she got called up were fun, then she got 180'd and those were dropped, and kind of floated doing whatever. She'll probably pop up in TNA soon, ish.
Xyonn Quinn feels like a strange case and not just because his name sounds like hayfever medication. He didn't really break out during his NXT run and got sweet fuck-all on the main roster. I feel like he was a case of 'well this isn't really working out so let's give him a few months of a main roster payday then we'll see what happens' I guess. Wouldn't be surprised if the likes of Odessey Jones or Cameron Grimes are on the shortlist too.
Veer is no longer coming. Shrug.
Oddly, Sanga is the only one here that I vividly recall actually enjoying to a degree, for two reasons:
1. His Gentleman Giant gimmick in NXT post-Indus Version 1 and pre-Indus Version 2 was a welcome relief from the tired foreign heel schtick, and I felt he did that part pretty well. Then he got shoved with Veer anyway because, y'know, gotta have that foreign heel sctick somewhere.
2. His name is slang down here for Sandwich and that just tickles me.
Jinder Mahal fucking sucks. Dude is the single worst wrestler that has ever smeared himself across a WWE ring without an excuse for it. He's an injury-prone botch machine who somehow got an extreme amount of milage out of having the skill and charisma of a mannquinn, whose only selling points have nothing to do with him - A produced entrance and a 'fresh taste' in lieu of the usual main eventers back during his WWE title run. Y'know, like how there wasn't also a roster of countless other wrestlers who would've also been a fresh taste to the scene in addition to being able to wrestle a match without being accompanied by narcolepsy. Dude is the drizzling shits, and is so slow that the 80's called and asked if he was able to step it up a bit. Now, that being said, while I'm far, far from a fan of him, at the end of the day it's still someone losing their job and I'll rarely if ever celebrate that. I'd always want a sucky wrestler to stop sucking and get better at their work. Hopefully he lands on his feet somewhere and improves to a sustainable degree. Put in the work and he'll be fine.
This has been another edition of Wolfie's shit takes, sponsored by Paul's Bunion Cream. Don't @ me.

Ya grimes I could see gome which is insane they haven't used him at all in what feels like forever
Nxt run I think he's still young af too
Just now seeing the latest releases...tbh, I am sure that this is going to make others in WWE worried. I do firmly believe that if they make it to the main roster then they should at least get a fair chance on TV and not just live events or WWE speed or whatever. Xyon never really got much of an opportunity. Just like Odyssey Jones and other still haven't now.
I don't dislike any of those who were released...and hopefully all of them land someplace.
They did at least try with Xia Li a little though.... Sure, she wasn't ever a champ of any kind but they made a few attempts of using her. I just don't think that they had any idea of how to use her long term, which I imagine is why she was released. They had nothing for her. Probably something to keep in mind when releases happen actually....it's not completely that they feel like the wrestlers sucked, but it could be that they have nothing for them. It is interesting that this is happening right before more NXT wrestlers are likely moving up.

He jobbed to Bron last week.
Originally was injured but I believe he's been ready to come back for ages
Ya I more mean too that he's not been given angles or promos to get introduced to the MR crowd
He was injured and cleared a while ago, now he's waiting for the writers to have something for him.
I think his last appearance was in June.
That trio was random but it worked.
I mean he had that two week thing with Corbin before Baron went down to NXT but other than that he’s been guy to make other people look good.
