MJ was released along with Deonna, a ring announcer/that guy that rapped Adam Cole to the ring one time, and a very tall, buff, and handsome dude named Aleksandar. I'm sure there are other lower roster/largo loop or PC only people that got released

Drake crying about being released from WWE while wearing a WWE shirt is lol. Property of WWE through and through.

That video was sad but all I could really think about during it was:

1. WWE absolutely could afford to keep him aboard.
2. JFC this guy is thanking them for the opportunity to still wrestle tournament matches after being canned

Guys maybe, and this is just a theory okay, maybe people dont want to burn bridges with the biggest company in the world in their chosen field of work.

Just a reminder that this lovely loving company owned by one of the worst human beings on the planet deserves every single iota of the scorn you want to unload on them, but that doesn't mean you get to try and score points or dunk on posters. Save your revulsion and disgust for the inhuman piece of poo poo that is Vince McMahon and his monstrously evil company.

Sure, gently caress Vince McMahon and all that, but there's nothing wrong with not wanting to burn bridges on the way out for most talent released today.

Of course that doesn't mean in a few weeks time they won't pop up on podcasts and tell us all some interesting stories about what goes on backstage.

WWE is so utterly hosed, and its gonna be satisfying to see them get hosed when it finally happens.

Also gently caress the lovely scam that is the stock market.

I just realized that it’s a round robin tournament. They can’t just have Drake lose tonight and be done with him. He has to come back for at least 3 weeks after being fired.

Most stocks just follow market trends, even with big announcements like this. If it’s in the paper it’s in the price.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I don't know anything about US labour laws, so forgive me if these are stupid questions:

Do all of the sacked people stop getting paid immediately? Do they not get at least 2 weeks pay as severance? Or, if they were sacked in the middle of their contract, (I am thinking people like Lance Storm who only got hired a few months ago), do they not get the rest of their contract paid out?

How does this affect these people's health insurance? Especially at a time when they need it the most. How does it affect the non US citizens', (again Lance Storm, but also Rusev and Drake Maverick), visa and work permits?

Do the fired wrestlers still get a cut of merch sales? I.E. if one wanted to help, would buying a butttone of Rusev Day T-Shirts give Miroslav Barnyashev some extra cash, or would WWE take it all/the lions share?

And this question is particularly stupid, but I'll ask it anyway. Given that the writer who was fired said she is proud of her work on the Otis/Mandy/Dolph storyline, does she get residuals if they keep that storyline going forward? (Non pandemic firing question: Do the writers get residuals when they show clips from storylines they have written on "best of" style DVD releases? I know Lance Storm says he used to keep getting WWE checks because he is in a segment on one of the Best of Raw videos.)

I wasn't trying to dunk on anyone I was legitimately asking if that was the last straw to anyone that had previously been alright with the course of the company and was asking them how they feel about a mass layoff during a pandemic

I poo poo on WWE the company as much as anyone else here sure but not everything is a setup to slam someone personally
