Was it injuries, or their personal decision or something along those lines? It must be fantastic to not have to take bumps all the time, but its bittersweet not seeing these dude (ette)s get their shot at being a star in DIS BUSINESS

I'm glad this was brought up, because I was sure Sara Del Rey was the girl who was injured in TNA by Rosie Lottalove?

She wasn't that was Daffney that was injured. Maybe they just don't want to wrestle right now

Probably didn't want wrestle on a regular basis and decided to take a secure job that'd be easy on their body. Drake, in particular, had a lot of mileage on his body from years of death matches and drug abuse.

Regarding Del Rey, I'd always heard that training was her greatest passion, even moreso than wrestling itself. So, she seems to have gotten the perfect job for herself.

If what you mentioned is true then thank god they changed up their philosophies. There's a few times on Breaking Ground where Sara is talking and I kinda get the feeling that she wants to get out there and wrestle.

What would be cool, if they didn't want them to be on-screen characters, would be to throw them in a mask and basically use them as a faux-local-jobber as a way to test the greener wrestlers. It would be fine aside from the part where it goes against the philosophy that an unknown jobber can't have a competitive match with someone even if they're debuting.
But I see it as potentially being a sort of graduation test, akin to the idea of fighting Doc Louis at the end of Punch-Out.

Sara, as a trainer gets full employment benefits (I believe) and still gets to work with people. I'd imagine after 11 years on the indies wrestling, that the perks of training people for WWE are a great thing to have.

Does anyone know how much less a trainer is earning as opposed to a lower card wrestler? If it isn't much I could see why someone would rather be a trainer.

Sort of a subtle corporate thing, but while she may miss the rush Sasha and Bayley were probably still feeling when they took this picture, Sara's the one Stephanie's standing beside. All accounts say Triple H is over the moon with the job she's done so while I'm sure part of her misses being in front of the fans, what she's doing now is most likely getting her higher standing in the company than any match could.

Seems like every wrestler hates bumping after a while and getting a steady high paying position teaching every person hired seems like a way healthier decision.

I'd love to see her at some point in the Fit Finlay role, the grizzled veteran out there to give solid matches who everyone knows was a trainer. At the same time, if Drake and Sara are happy doing what they're doing, awesome.

I could swear I read somewhere that they didn't Del Rey was pretty enough to be on tv.
You know, despite the fact that half the guys watching ROH while she was there were in love with her.

Well in Sara's case she's assistant head trainer at the Performance Centre, so I would have to think she's on a bigger salary than everybody in NXT not named Finn, Joe, Nakamura, Itami, and Zayn. As for regular trainers, I figure that while they don't get paid as much as the performers, they're almost guaranteed to make as much or more than a lower-midcarder but with a much longer length of employment.

Personally I'd love for Bayley's last match in NXT to be against either Del Rey or Stock.
Asuka works too, but still.

I think Drake's body is in bad shape between deaths matches, drugs, and some pretty bad accidents he's been in.

Wouldn't be surprised if they did a short run, Johnny Ace was backstage for years before becoming an onscreen character same for Finley I think.

She was the only girl in roh for most of her time there so she was unique,They didn't have Maria,Mandy,Scarlett,Veda or Taeler.Roh was a sausagefest for pretty much all of her run her only competition was Daizee Haze.It kinda reminds me of Candice in Pwg she's the only girl there so while she's a pretty girl her hotness gets exaggerated.
