To be honest I don't think I've ever seen a second of Gran Metalik that gave me an opinion of him greater than, "This guy exists." Even in the CWC he was one of the most underwhelming people there. I always felt Metallik and TJP were just panic signs because the CWC was supposed to be the introduction of Kota Ibushi and Zack Sabre Jr to WWE.... and both decided not to sign That's what happened. They were all in on Sabre and Ibushi signing with them

They were all in on Sabre and Ibushi signing with them Yeah I remember they legit made the whole story of the CWC being Sabre vs Ibushi in the finals... but they never had either signed and Metallik had to have visa stuff sorted out before coming full time so TJP got the initial backing. Ya know... even looking as far back as then seeing as how that was one of Hunter's babies too its kind of easy 5o connect more dots of where Triple H isn't the most savvy on the business end

Gran Metallik definitely needs to get out of there. He was one of the top Luchadores in the world when they signed him and they NEVER used him correctly and only saw him as a comedy jobber. They wonder why they can't make "The next Mysterio" Why do that when they can keep bringing him back?

If there's nothing announced today, this will be the first full calendar month since April that hasn't had a talent purge.

Wrestlers know who to blame if they get a phone call today In seriousness I do see another purge happening... but it may be post-Draft. They're gonna settle in to what they want RAW and Smackdown to look like and that is going to come with an influx of NXT callups to each brand as well as "2.0" continues to settle into its own thing. After that? I imagine some wrestlers who have already been asking for releases are going to be let go. I'd be surprised if not just for how it looks like they're gonna be looking for pieces to fit in places... and if they don't that might be it for them in WWE.

Dorado it seems is also sharing Metallik's sentiments He’s seeing his former CHIKARA buddies all over AEW, even getting shots on Elevation. I’d want to escape to that team too.

I think we shouldn't actually be posting in this thread until there ARE more releases, but that's just me.

As much as the discussion is great in this thread. Each time this one gets bumped. It's just scary and makes your heart sink.
