I think that was Ridge Holland


I wonder if any of the bean counters at Endeavor have figured out that if you just keep the Bloodline and like 5 or 6 other well known wrestlers and fill the rest of the show with a rotating cast of college athletes making $90k who didn't know what pro wrestling was 6 months ago WWE would make the same exact revenue

does this post qualify me for an MBA?

This mean they’re just going to get rid of positions that are duplicated - lots of middle managers in Payroll, A/r, a/P, legal, HR, finance…and other things that cost money but don’t bring money in.

A lot of these people have seen the writing on the wall and are probably interviewing. This is what happens in mergers.

i very much doubt they're just going to get rid of positions that are duplicated they're the company that did layoffs during a pandemic after posting record profits. none of those jobs were duplicated lol

its pretty incredible how elias has had the guitar guy gimmick for like 5 years and still sucks total rear end at playing guitar

but then again, jeff jarrett broke a million guitars, never sang a note

e: rockabilly + the roadie to the new age outlaws isnt in the HIGHEST tier of gimmick upgrades through history but it is the king of the b+ tier there, holy poo poo those gimmicks sucked and were career death

I went to an NXT show when Elias was in NXT and he did a bunch of good crowd work so I like him and I hope he does some good crowd work in NWA or wherever (I'm still not gonna watch NWA though).

Tomorrow seems like the staff layoffs, not the wrestlers. So a bunch of rank and file who are probably good at their jobs and don't get paid much are gonna lose them, and that sucks.

As for wrestlers, apparently Elias is gone.

Where are you hearing that about Elias from? I haven't seen anyone else mention that.

There is a good chance a bunch of them thought it couldn't possibly happen to them. WWE attracts the kind of dipshits who think that, and it's always funny watching them eat pink slips.

I would argue that The Roadie was alright when he was just JJ's stooge (look, it was the New Gen, slim pickings) but it was awful when they tried to give him the inevitable breakout singles run.

Rockabilly's debut was one of the saddest anti-pops ever. Honky Tonk Man crying "Get out here Rockabilly!!!", the oooooooh Rockabillyyyyyyy theme song, Billy proclaiming "That's me!", all as the crowd pulls a collective "oh no what the hell is this now".

i would probably have jade come in and immediately take the title off iyo. then build to a champion vs champion match at wrestlemania vs rhea, but more likely they'd add charlotte to really make it a big deal
