Eh I mean... Braun is really the only one here that feels like a big deal. They clearly didn't even have any value in the other people since they never got properly utilized and I've literally never heard of Santana Garrett.

Yeah, but it shows a 180 from the previous tactic of ensuring guys cannot make money for anyone else, and several of the names do have value from that perspective.

Braun maybe feels like the biggest deal, but Aleister is confusing and feels like one hand not knowing what the other is doing with the way they just built him up again so it rings similar kinds of bells.

"And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"
I feel genuinely bad for Braun if the ending to his story is, “WWE destroyed his body with lovely training and dumb spots, cut him after he started a big contract with him and now he has to navigate the American health care system for the rest of his life”

Like clearly a dumbass who has made dumbass comments but cutting someone because they are too broken down after you broke them down is real poo poo head behaviour. I know it’s not new, but it’s terrible every time it happens. And I know he’s the kinda guy to poo poo on a union, but he’s one of the guys who really badly needs a union.

I mean in the case of Santana, I would not be shocked if her release came about because of her insanely stupid Instagram post earlier this week glorifying Donald Trump and the confederacy. And when she was called out for it, she deleted the post and went with the "well I have black friends so I can't be racist" defense.

Sounds like he learned an important lesson that hopefully he'll pass on to others.

Haven't there been a few other releases that occurred during a big push or right after a huge match? Gallows and Anderson immediately come to mind.

Braun would be a fantastic manager / muscle for a shithead cruiserweight heel.

He wouldn't have to do much but could occasionally launch his man, or catch someone little.

Even if he is breaking down in the ring you can get a lot of miles out of a big boy.

Yeah, they’re cutting costs in times of record profits being carried out by someone who’s actually a legitimate entertainment executive. It has all the hallmarks of getting the balance sheet in order ahead of a sale.

Yeah, I think they get their downside guarantee left on their contract in exchange for following a 90-day non-compete (that probably wouldn't stand up in court, but nobody's tried to fight it yet because it's more hassle than it's worth)

I've always wondered, if they get released, but are still being paid, can WWE rescind the release?

I don't know if it's specific rumors as much as some of these moves are moves you might make if you were getting ready to shop it around. But it could be more, not like I'm in any position to actually know.

I dont know how to feel about Braun Strowman also known as Adam Scherr. Dude is totally indoctrinated and it made him a total rear end in a top hat prick, but like.

Hasn't he also had some fairly real mental health issues in the past? He clearly threw himself totally into WWE and did whatever awful, stupid poo poo they asked and wrecked his body for them and they're just throwing him away like trash. That's hosed up.

If the contract stipulations haven't changed much since the last time I looked it up, they'll get paid their minimum $$, which is called "downside". They get paid more for appearing in matches and merchandising. They are guaranteed match money for a minimum number of times per year.
