No reason to feel bad for the talent who get cut, they have so many great opportunities out there now and will get to actually show their abilities in places who will appreciate them.

Build up on one of the best gimmicks you have for someone. Have her search ages for a partner and build that for a big 'Mania match. Have her lose in said match as flat as possible. Release her. The marketing strategy of genuises. WWE has the same concept of "I know what I'm doing" as a sitcom dad who goes up to put Christmas lights on the roof and then in the next scene comes back into the house completely tangled up in the Christmas lights, which improbably are on, blinking, and the second he tries to speak, begin to play a squeaky version of a Christmas carol.

Chelsea probably goes back to Impact? Her and Mickie had a lot of back and forth on Twitter over the past couple weeks.... maybe they do something together? I'm shocked about Billie Kay. How do you not find something for her to do? She is hilarious!

I am expecting Buddy Murphys name any time now to be next on this release spree.

HE JUST CUT A PROMO ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT DOING STUFF! Like, Christ, he's not your biggest name and Vince's last steak matters more to him then WWE's social media but still, bad optics.

I'd say in the current climate making indie shows hard to run and with other major companies' rosters pretty well full, this is a pretty shit time for people to be left looking for 'opportunities'.

I'll always hate the fact that they stockpile talent, let them stagnate and do nothing and then cut them. It's absurd. Talent got paid WWE on their resume, they will be fine It was a gamble and it didn't work but that WWE on their resume will get them paid on the indies

Chelsea just signed a three year extension late last year. Like come on. Don't make a commitment like that to just release them six months later.

We're still in a pandemic, wrestling shows aren't happening everywhere yet. It's not great. And considering there are indies out there not abiding to CDC guidelines...America alone isn't in a good spot with this stuff, never mind internationally.

Only surprising one so far is Billie Kay (FAN forum in mourning?).

Maybe I’m missing something but there’s...kinda not a lot of spaces right now?
When the industry is back to full strength, ok, but it’s still very obviously in a period of recovery. Space is more limited than it’s been in several years which really puts a nasty spin on mass releases, especially when WWE has turned real life into EWR and can keep folks under contract forever and still turn a profit.

Those extensions are like Football extensions, they really don't matter Only thing that matters is the money you got up front which in this case is whatever guarantee she had
