And yet they're still (presumably) paying Dexter Lumis who they just...haven't booked for what will be a full calendar year as of next month for no discernible reason.

Weirdly bummed about Indus Sher. The Veer jokes were funny but it's an impressive fumble to have a decent tag team of a guy who has a movie about him and an actual Bollywood actor, both of whom were solid when I watched, and to just...let them go. I wonder if Jinder got the news of their release and quit anyway considering his association with them felt like a last-chance thing. Also lmao that that they spent months hyping up Veer, debuted him, sent him back to NXT, drafted Indus Sher and started the vignettes again, and then released him. At this point I wish they'd just release Dexter Lumis if only to let him work somewhere else. Bring Sam Shaw back to TNA. Please. I just want to see him wrestle and do his character work somewhere that'll actually use him.

They need to make some space in the talent budget so they can afford to compete with TK for free agents in the future.

Triple H will prove he’s not racist by releasing someone like Dexter Lumis or Cameron Grimes along with Odyssey Jones, Ashante thee Adonis and Apollo Crews.

Is it because he kept showing up? i assume it’s because they both did something that forced the company to fire them. why don’t other people try to get fired? i’ve been in that position where i wanted to get fired instead of quitting (for complicated severance reasons) and it’s harder than you think for a lot of people to do something intentional that would get them fired.

Toni Storm and Jeff Hardy are two opposite ends of that spectrum. Speculation, etc, but Jeff probably got his three strikes and was let go so as not to be a liability. I think they just didn't see anything for the Fed in Toni and were willing to cut bait on what they saw as an underperforming talent with little upside to her backside.

I've been reading about this uncle howdy QR arg thing and Dexter is speculated to be part of the upcoming cult of Wyatt or whatever that could be debuting at Backlash.

Sanga has a great natural charisma plus he's a big hoss of a dude, it's really just classic WWE booking they fumbled the both of them and stuck them with the Scary Brown Foreigners gimmick.

There was a recent hullabaloo because Glassdoor is going to require accounts now and anonymous reviews already made would be linked to accounts that made them. They may have backtracked this, but it spooked people.

Jeff Hardy otoh they had assumed he was going to be a drug test failure after the incident where he left the ring mid match and wanted to get ahead of it. Then weeks later the results came back clean and they scrambled to rehire him on the spot with a new push and a Hall of Fame induction but he had made up his mind by then.

I have to think back to the guy who got Vince's number and a "call me any time you need something" and then was fired for calling him.
