Not releasing live staff is stupid. You can’t be paying people to do NOTHING for long. It sucks but it’s business. Yes you can. You objectively can.

I don't care what anyone is 'in the business' of, these are people and WWE is having record setting quarters right now. Keeping their live events staff on would barely put a dent in their earnings when they pulled 43 million quarter even with all these people still on, and with all the previously cut talent still on payroll due to their 90 day payouts. WWE is making money like never before, and the low cost of them not being selfish goblins and trying to jack that number higher is such a pitiful ask that I really have no idea how this is getting defended. The world is in a horrific place right now and WWE, like a lot of companies, are actually growing harder for it due to specific circumstances, seeing them then say "Oh well times are tough so you don't have a job anymore, good luck in the wasteland" while times are the opposite of tough for them is disgusting. This isn't throwing money away, and given how many things the McMahons have thrown money away on, that's extra hilarious to me. Vince isn't starting any new football leagues this year, why can't he keep employed some people who he's going to need again when the world opens back up anyway? This isn't a question of business sense, this is a question about humanity and basic decency. Shareholders can eat my entire ass with gravy, peoples' jobs are the real problem here.

Throwing money away is universally avoided. I mean, WWE threw away money so much at large contracts in the past few years, their Presidents were both fired when they were trying to tell Vince to stop. So yeah, doesn’t cut it.

Seeing an argument that this is "Just business" and "You can't keep people around doing nothing" when WWE made record setting profits this year and in fact pay severeal wrestlers to sit backstage and eat catering, knowing full well they have no use for them and will have no use for them, and only keep them so other companies don't get to use them, kind of makes all that sound like a giant heap of shit to be frank.

Anyway remember to cheer WWE against those evil anarchists in Retribution, who want to bring down this company that's never done anything wrong ever.

I said it in the thread when they had their promo but yeah quite a weird flex to make a "evil group" that is completely in the right for being f***ing pissed at you. Retribution is borderline propaganda at this point when you look at how WWE really is as a company and then they want you to think Retribution are this big bad threatening WWE's innocent prestine way of life. Get the f*** outta here, lmfao.

Sorry that you decided the taste of leather was worth more than just being able to admit "This is a shitty thing to do", I guess, but the world sucking doesn't seem like reason to just throw my hands up and decide nothing is worth ever caring about, personally.

There may be a few wrestlers absent because of COVID-19, but the company really can't afford to trim the roster any thinner; they're facing having to fast-track NXT callups and paying out big-time for part-timers if anyone currently active has to take time off due to injury.

That's all I'm seeing here.
