STOP DOING HEROIN
Yeah I wonder if Aries is just done with wrestling in general. He seemed pretty burned out towards the end of the Neville feud.

aries probably thought he should have been elevated to the level of the big dog, roman reigns, who is way out of his league and in his own yard. bow wow and woof woof.

Aries sent out a subtle tweet before one of the PPVs bitching about his match being relegated to the kickoff show so I don't think he was happy.

Ambrose had a chainsaw, don't trust any build.

that build was rear end and the chainsaw was loving stupid. this has been presented as a serious build to a serious match so i trust it a lot more than whatever dumb poo poo they have ambrose do.

I dunno I expect more cuts as 205 doesn't draw and I think the WWE may want to cut some costs in preparation for TV rights negotiations.

they might as well just ax the whole division at this point and just merge the guys from it who they like into the rest of the roster. it's been an abject failure for a year now and there's no saving it.

What you mean a guy whose character is "looks on in irritated confusion as another wrestler cuts a promo" isn't being used to their full potential?

also i'm one of those people where a dead crowd takes me out a match and all i hear about cruiserweight matches is how no one in the arena gives a poo poo

They care so much about the division they won't ever announce Finn's weight on-air so you don't realize he could/should definitely be there instead

yea, there's a few guys who should technically be in the cruiserweight division but aren't

Aries is too good for WWE's lovely booking anyway. Fair play to him for asking to leave instead of people like Ryder and Ziggler who just bitch and moan

AA was surprisingly over during the (very good) Neville feud, not sure how much more of a push he could have expected from WWE there tbh. Hope he does his thing where he wants to for a few years and lands a commentary job because he was really good at that.
