If I'm being honest I thought Gravity was on loan from AAA.

Dasha and the Boys make no sense. I wonder if there's bad news coming down about the tv deal.

Cutting anyone who didn't actively want out sucks; cutting people who were still an active presence on TV as of recently sucks worse!

Well this sucks! Bad call!

I'm going to hope that some of the weirder ones have to do with their being offered some kind of out from their contract rather than an unceremonious dumping but I guess we'll see.

The worst of this list is Anthony Henry, Dasha, and The Boys in that order. Dasha might have taken first place if not for Henry getting released while injured, even if the injury didn’t happen in AEW. Everyone else makes sense IMO. Gravity was pretty bad and Stu’s situation has always been weird so who the hell knows what’s going on there.

Tony is calling them and asking what they’re doing. If they say they’re watching Raw he fires them.

I can see reasons why a few might be for reasons (The Boys are rumored to be kind of weirdos, the Stu rumor, etc.) but it just seems like mostly people who didn't work out like Gravity and Parker, and guys who no longer had a role like Slim J. Henry is getting up there in age but releasing him solo is kind of weird even though Tony does seem to be more partial to JD.

I seriously doubt this is the reason (they aren''t going to be the only antivax people on the roster!) but every once in awhile someone would mention them having stupid beliefs.

Edit: Joe is the former Leonard Chikarrason so he's tuned into weird Northeast indie drama.

I believe when Tony originally said he wanted to honor all contracts and not release people he said that there would probably be a point where they would release people, but still not a fan of cutting people even if it makes business sense.

Tony is a drat billionaire he can afford to ride out contracts. The only reason people should be released is if they ask for it or they get in trouble

AEW would be maybe the first business in the history of the United States to do this. UFC cuts people constantly, sports teams cut people constantly, companies fire people constantly. Business sense says fire people and fire lots of people.
