The talent hoarding is probably definitely coming back too bc that was mostly an HHH thing, not sure if mass releases continue or not but that seemed to be more of a Nick Khan thing than Vince. I'm not sure how the WWE turnover is gonna look at all outside of NXT's trainees being given soft deadlines
I don't want to be that guy but I hope people realize it's going to likely blow up in his face like it did for TK. Yes they have more hours to fill but bringing back all the guys Vince cut isn't going to magically make all this time for all of them suddenly appear.

To the general internet audience yeah, there should be those "why isn't so and so on TV more complaints" like before and like AEW has now. I kinda don't care that much personally unless of course whats actually being showcased on TV isn't entertaining to me lol then I will be pointing to things that would be better

Also if the talent isn't happy with how they're used that's an issue too but I don't really have issues if their content with the steady pay and not making waves, that's personal to them. Happy locker room and good product and I don't really care if you hire too many people. Shit like Andrade (in both companies actually at this point lmao fuck) is just where it goes sour

Yeah I agree with pretty much all of this. It's obviously too early atm, I just saw what happened in aew, and wwe before that. People will be unhappy, fans will overeact and talent will bitch on twitter. The cycle continues.

Def agree that its fine as long as the product is good but I'll point to AEW again and say the product is still good there and this issue still causes ppl to make daily Where's Miro threads. It will be interesting to see how it develops and how HHH will deal with said adversity since there may come a time where one of "his" rebels

Well there will always be those complaints whether the product is good or not so that's why I don't rate it unless I personally think something is bad lmao also we've already seen some locker room issues with Braun bc of his tweeting and others employed calling him out which isn't a great look

yeah there will always be detractors, that's for certain. I'm more focusing on the inhouse stuff. Braun is a great example of someone with bad attitude they brought back. Most the others seems good eggs but let's pretend there's a scenario where they bring Andrade back. Then him and a few ppl you thought were your boys start leaking to the sheets they don't like their push again. Probably switching topics a bit but still relevant with hoarding talent for the sake of hoarding it, for sure will need to be careful getting ppl for the right reasons. TK def learned that the hard way

If we're talking main roster, I feel like he might done on the guys side if he gets Jonah / Ryder unless an obvious notable name like Andrade etc become available. Probably a good few women that he still wants though.

I can't think of anymore either off the top of my head, maybe depends on if any AEW contracts are up anytime soon too and they don't resign. Other than that, I think it's just indie guys that would go to NXT out there, def not a lot name value free agents left

other than Taya and Kairi I don't think there's a whole lot of top female free agents out there either fwiw

Yeah they probably want to get some new NXT ready people stacked up to restock as I can see a steady flow of people moving up from NXT in a couple of months time.

Gotta agree with you on this. On the male side, who’s really available for him to hoard? Jonah? Ryder? Aldis? That’s really about it and don’t even know if there will be interest in Aldis.

I think the mass signings/returns are pretty much done. At least for now.

I actually think she is, but if she wins the IWGP women's title this weekend I'm ruling her out lol she left the first time bc she wanted to stay in Japan anyway though so that's another issue with her, though she literally just tweeted recently that she's been in America a lot and if she wins the title wants to defend here too

Oh yeah I forgot about Aldis. I think Trips will pounce on him tbh lol would be great for NXT Europe tho but bet he's just main roster if he signs for better or worse

I swear for the longest time i've always been under the impression that HHH didn't fuck with him at all. Bring Mickie back for one last proper send off run though, please.
