Is there anyone who could be released that would actually be good in AEW and/or New Japan? Anyone I’m familiar with is - I’d assume - too high up the card to be let go (though who knows)

That Cody Rhodes guy could have a solid run with a midcard belt in AEW.

Tbf I’ve only been turned into wrestling since 2017 so that’s well past Ziggle’s heyday where he was well into his “IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME” phase

We’re all hoping for Cody Rhodes, but I’d be cool with Akira Tozawa too. Maybe Drew McIntyre

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Because none of us watch this the Ali release turns out to be the most bizarre one as he's booked in a title match in the next ppv in four days. We'll, was booked.

And barely an interesting match or storyline to show for it lol

If he had debuted on Mania 1 and lasted the same 6570 days, he'd have been at the go home RAW for Mania X-Seven but not the show itself.

So basically take Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff from the gimmick battle royal and then work backwards to imagine what they would have been like during the attitude era and new generation. That’s wild.

My strongest memory of Zigglef was the elimination chamber where Mark henys door was opened by accident and the match got sent to a screeching halt leading yo all six men standing in a circle while Ziggler loudly started calling spots to try and get people to move
I was at this show and it was the funniest moment of the night.

Shelton Benjamin would be great anywhere. Ziggler will be fine and can easily be a top guy in like, Impact/NWA/GCW/etc. Idk if there's room in AEW for him.



Shelton's almost 50, dude strikes me as someone who should be a trainer/coach more than an in-ring guy, but while he's absolutely a great wrestler I dunno how much of that was from him running or designing matches and how much was him being a NCAA champ level real athlete.

Ziggler is 43, man that dude had his whole career there. He can probably take those lesser bookings if he really wants to but that's a bit late for a "prove that you could have been a top guy" run, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to pal around with his brother or Cardona and focus on comedy or improv with Scott Colton whatever his terrible side project was.

Ziggler was always way better than the WWE let him be, but that's also almost everyone in the WWE. Either way it's pretty awesome that we just had a bunch of stories about how morale is in the toilet and then they simultaneously announced a billion-dollar TV deal and began firing a bunch of people everyone on the roster loves.

The funniest thing for the Ziggler release is a whole generation saying THEY ARE RUINING MY CHILDHOOD and realising some of these people could've been 4 when they first saw him and are in their 20s now. Ziggler is their life.
