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.

Jesus Christ. How are they still fans of wrestling after that? Or life itself, for that matter?

Shard if you haven’t already seen, would you like to guess why the stock dropped? These are your two choices:

1) They are making less money
2) They are making more money

lol I aint even worried. I got 20 stocks purchased. If there is one thing you can count on, it's that eventually this company will trip rear end backwards towards financial success. Hell their stock was like 68 earlier this year and then peaked at 115.

The answer is they are now making more money, but not as much more money as investors would have liked.

I doubt anyone bigger than Ziggler will be let go but I'd kill for Sheamus in...any other company, really, just to see him do stuff in a new environment.

I know it's fun to clown on Top Dolla for some dumb tweets and that extremely funny botch but it does actually suck that Hit Row got over with Swerve, released in bulk, brought back in a really cool moment, and then jerked around and released again. Bad luck, brought up too soon, etc. I liked his speech he gave when Bray died and I feel like he and Ashanti Thee Adonis had something. Not all the time, but y'know, something that could have been cultivated instead of stamped out by the failures of the WWE machine.

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.

They lived in an era where the only easily obtainable alternative was TNA. No chance they were seeing Bryan Danielson era ROH. To them Ziggler style WWE was the only wrestling they knew until four years ago.

But there were alternatives besides TNA. Specifically, literally anything other than wrestling, which is what I was enjoying for the great majority of this time period.

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.

Little different as Sheik and Volkoff were already 12 and 17 year vets at Mania 1 but yes, essentially. If you prefer, debuting today ans lasting until spring 2040.

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
that match was great because ziggler kept trying to get poo poo like a tower spot to happen instead of just telling everyone to do the obvious thing of everyone ganging up on henry and then going back to the match they had planned

I saw a thing that said Sheamus’ deal is up in 2024 so I’d assume he doesn’t get released and if anything doesn’t re-sign next year if he intends to leave
