Why are multiple people mentioning Sheamus getting laid off? Is there a rumor or anything to that or are we just fantasy booking him in AEW?

His contract is coming up at the end of 2023

99% their hopes, off the back of Fightful saying yesterday that his deal's up in either the first quarter or first half next year

Drew's deal is up before Mania
Becky's is sometime next year too, unknown if it's that early

Fantasy booking.

I can't see them ever releasing Sheamus, and I don't know if he's ever given any indication he would want to leave. Remember that he was one of HHH's workout buddies and Vince loves him because he fits the stereotype that he envisions for Irish people and is big and has muscles. He'd be one of the last guys I would think they'd release.

He might decide to leave, but I'd put long odds on that too.

Well, that attracted some unusual attention.

Keep in mind everything I say is information relayed to me so I could be worked but that would imply said source (not my normal one this time) would care to do that. It's possible Dana was in a foul mood at the time for unknown reasons which was a anomaly for her but she was based on what I heard. Feel free to ignore if desired.

Cody Rhodes brokers WGA contract compromise to secure WWE title match.

This time he enters the Rumble early alongside Gunther. Both stay to the finish which is 10 minutes of hellacious Gunther ultra strikes and stretching.

And Cody loses due to interference from Jay Uso. I guess? I'm trying to curry sarcasm points with the hoy polly.

I imagine they don’t renew Sheamus unless it’s for a big pay cut. I think a lot of the veteran mid card/upper mid card with bigger contracts are going to be prime release targets like the Zig man today

Between Total Nonstop Faction and QTV we have enough lower card dork heel teams to dunk on in AEW.
But the Hollywood Honks would definitely work on that level.

I think only Emma and Top Dolla got fired from his re-hires

Elias, Boogs, and Moss were guys Triple H pretty much took off TV entirely.

I think they do a reverse of last year: Cody enters early, Gunther enters late, Gunther wins this time and goes after Rollins.

Cody wins the chamber in Perth to get his shot

Of course this all assumes that's the match and Rock isn't sticking around. In that case Rocky wins the Rumble and Gunthers win the chamber.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
There’s a reddit thread about Mace and Mansoor streaming and they are offering details about how they got fired.

quote:


Mansoor: 735 viewers! Getting fired is a draw - we should get fired from every company we ever work for

edit: Mansoor says he was asleep when he got fired. Woke up to a text "call me back". Says usually you get fired from a Connecticut area code, but this was from Chicago — Mace cuts in and says, I thought it was Punk.

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.

I am happy they got fired because they are disgusting people and they are loved by terminally online nerds who are also disgusting people. Reddit is so mad.
