Kinda feel bad for Aliyah getting tossed while away with an injury

Xia Li, Tegan Nox, the rest of Hit Row, Mace all somehow still safe

hopefully they are safe but sounds like calls still going out so we will have to see how the day ends

 

[Leon TrotSky]

What if Xia was released years ago but WWE never found another Mandarin speaker to tell her

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Shelty Benj gone

 

[Leon TrotSky]

"Shelton, what do you plan to do after leaving WWE for the second time?"

 

[Y2Jayne]

There goes my Hurt Business reunion. Fuck.

New FREE post from Fightful select:

As of 11:30 AM, Fightful heard there were still calls going on informing of releases. Many in the company who would usually know didn't appear to know who all would be subject to the releases. In the past year or so, WWE has not publicly announced releases themselves, and in many cases never actually confirmed them. We're told some cuts were expected at the WWE PC as well. There was some frustration among members of the roster we spoke to that WWE announced a $1.4B Smackdown deal and then cut talent. One top star said that most of the list barely had a chance considering they weren't booked, and called it a circle that couldn't be escaped.

Yea, I get why some people think it's in bad taste, but at the same time that new TV deal didn't change the fact that they still have a bloated roster and they're already struggling to do good things with the 30-40% of the roster they do have the air time for. You can't fault them, in my eyes, for getting rid of contractual "corpses".
