It's the middle of a pandemic, and that might be something that you don't personally see as a big issue, but you can't just ignore why people are unhappy with the timing and circumstances of this with the justification of "It's just cheaper". I'm unhappy with some of the releases myself. And I feel bad for people losing their jobs. So why the initial post about the fans wanting releases and then getting mad at releases, exactly?

I wonder if Samoa Joe wants to get back in the ring and WWE said, "Nah, we're good" it's so weird because when the report about the commentary changes came out, it said Joe would be kept on as part of the wrestling roster. FOUR days ago.

These moves, more than NXT moving to Tuesday or Jericho on the WWE Network tells you that Vince has zero worries about AEW or anyone else. None of these people signing with another company will take viewers away from WWE. The WWE takes viewers away from WWE...20 years ago 10 million watched, 10 years ago 4 million watched.. today 1.5 million watch.

After Mania cuts isn't new is more so what you saying They haven't been as active with it over the years but we know this has been a thing I *get* the rational in general. I don't love it at all, and wish they could have at least held off until the pandemic was over (or closer to over) and the landscape was more stable Yea as I said last year, from the business side it is a cruel world and I can tell y'all that as an accountant I hate it but I get it. I can keep everyone and still make a profit but on the flip side, I have no reason to do that either

Which is BS since they hired a bunch of people a couple months ago. If you having budget cuts. STOP hiring and use the talent you have first.

There are a lot of absolutely baffling cuts in this set but I think Billie Kay and especially Samoa Joe confuse me most.

Because I thought it was funny, plus it was sarcasm mixed with some truth. Like alot post of here. Again I wasn't trying to offend anyone just pointed how how WE the fans are fickle sometimes.

So according to SRS People Power has been calling them about their releases and cites "Budget Cuts" as the reason for the releases.

Not using them sucks but I rather them not getting used while getting a steady check during these crazy times.

Who needs Samoa Joe when you have the cosmic drawing power of second in command to Apollo Cruise 'No new name given yet' Dabba Kato?
