Better idea: Have Evil Uno marry Dalton Castle and Silver/Reynolds become Dalton's new boys.

They have Bobby Cruise as well but it's really weird because Dasha had been used more than ever lately!

And she was a Spanish announcer. It's so weird! Maybe she did something hosed up behind the scenes.

I'm thinking maybe she asked for her release. Because otherwise it's really sudden and weird.

The Boys seem the be the most insane names to be released, they've been tied to Dalton and his character for long long time. With their act being so linked to each other makes it seem super abrupt, and a complete shift in lanes for Dalton if this was as summarily as it appears.

Yeah, I'm going to wonder if it was requested because otherwise I genuinely don't think it makes sense. Even if, hypothetically, she would have to be released in order for a new contract better befitting her current company role to be drawn up, I do not think it would be reported this way. It really is bizarre and I'd argue the big sticking point that makes this story feel larger than it mostly is.

As for The Boys, I think they're just going to shift to using extras as Boys rather than a dedicated tag team of Boys, which there's precedent for.

upon reflection, this entire storyline has been a vehicle to write the boys off tv while pushing Dalton and Johnny TV. They really did die on those mountains. I'm fine with that because at least it's been compelling television.

Dasha wore a rainbow dress for the shows that took place during Toronto Pride weekend last year. I thought that was cool of her.

I have never heard a story about aew being unhappy with Dasha, she is featured all the freaking time. It is very sudden and out of nowhere and I think it deserves at least some sort of explanation. The others I honestly can understand.

There's a lot of things in Punk's interview that out him as being stupid, but one that stuck out was the MJF stuff and "Oh he's great but he's less good when he tries to appeal to that small niche audience" as if his absolute worst work in recent memory wasn't him properly leaning into sports entertainment bullshit like the Switchblade match at Full Gear.

none of these releases will affect my enjoyment of the product and it's probably a good idea to release them during WM week when the other company is going to dominate the news cycle

Tony said before he might have to do cost cutting releases one day, but he didn't want to do them during or too soon after the pandemic and he didn't want to do massive WWE style layoffs where dozens of people get fired at once. For whatever that's worth.

The Dasha release stings because WWE made her act like a robot when she's a fireball of personality/charisma in real life and AEW tapped into that a lot more. She'll be fine and it'll be easy for her to find something else, but these reminders that AEW is a lovely American business at the end of the day are never pleasant.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked for AEW. Unfortunately yesterday was no April fools joke. I appreciate @AriyaDaivari for always bringing my name up and believing in me. @CapriceColeman you always put me over. As did @WilliamBehrens Thank you

Thank you to the fans that supported me. My gimmick was trash. I get that. I knew that. My work wasn't though. I worked my shoot job through both contracts with AEW. My role there was to act rich. I've always been far from that in real life. Promise that.

All I wanted to do once I was signed. Was to get my wife and daughter out of the sh*t hole we live in. They're my everything by far.i failed. Does it mean I quit. Not at all. Mouths to feed and I'm broke asf. So I'm looking for a second, second job. Stop sleeping on me.
