    Potentially as a free agent. But again I circle back to I don't care if he's released or not :lol I am just pontificating mostly. I'm not tuning in anywhere to see if he'll show up. If he's truly released though, hope it works out for him. He can definitely be MLW champ by the end of the year if...

    I would be surprised if anyone thought chasing social media engagement (which is inherently like 80% bots minimum) was good wrestling booking

    I should say ultimately that there's nothing wrong with taking the check and job stability, I'd just hate for people to fall victim to corporate trappings of "go ahead and sign away the next 3 years if your professional prime, we promise we have big plans for you" :lol

    But even so, they immediately neutered the angle with Punk coming back immediately, getting ADR in the mix and overshadowing his story with Triple H and Nash bullshit. He held the belt for a record setting amount of time at the moment but no Mania main events and way more often than not, someone...

    also just vastly, vastly more popular and frankly, impctful than Kross. Back then, Punk was 1 of 1 on the roster and exactly what fans were clamoring for. Kross is pretty niche and if WWE weren't already the enemy for a lot of people, almost no one would care :lol

    I don't think they've ever done an about face with an "underutilized" talent who was close to their contract ending, or even the ones they've released and then rehired. Punk, Truth, Maverick in recent times. They'll capitalize on the hype but as far as anything long term? Get fucked

    This isn't the same scale. I don't care if Kross is released or not. Whether he's in WWE or elsewhere, I'm not very interested in him. I do think if it is indeed an angle, they're 100% scamming Kross and his fans into thinking something big is coming down the pike when I don't believe it is.

    There was some great memories but ultimately they botched it and burnt the fans and it was like 12 years until they regained widespread favor among the audience

    I do think it's fine to work contract expiry angles fwiw. Less so when people are already kinda aggro at your booking decisions, and you *maybe* are working an angle where a popular and disgruntled worker is looking to leave. WWE has done it before and the short term benefits, I'd say, were not...

    I would say increasingly so, the only way you're going to get a main event opportunity in WWE is doing something that gets a lot of social media engagement. Or already be very famous. That's it.

    @Comrade Khan I wanted to check if you think you'll listen to that RA the Rugged Man album that Booty chose anytime soon or if I should go ahead and nominate another album

    Which is not a WWE specific problem, it happens to everyone eventually. Eventually people get tired of the nWo punking everyone out. Eventually they get tired of outsider midcarder coming in and becoming a god in TNA. Oftentimes the bloodshed and international dream matches in AEW feel like they...

    I suspect there's gonna be a lot of going back to the same wells over and over again going forward and arguably there already has been to the point that things that made the Triple H feel exciting and special have already lost their flavor

    Get the chance to work and bury both Kross and his fans in one fell swoop? :sheit

    I've now launched my new development territory for WCPro, Lone Star Wrestling. Right now we're still going to keep Big Japan and LSW as development territories but I plan to soon swipe the folks I want out of Big Japan and then cut them loose to do their own thing.
