I made a joke the other day that HHH is just gonna hire back every problematic wrestler he can and wait Johnny Gargano at everyone as a distraction screaming "BUT LOOK WHO IS ALSO BACK YOU GUYS?? ISN'T HE COOL!?" And it's not a joke anymore lmfao Like, do not be surprised if he actively tries to get Wuertz back I'm not, I unfortunately won't even be surprised if he tries to sign Patrick Clark back either, because he was a staunch defender of the dude despite EVERYTHING.

Dude was hardcore into holocaust denial and actively tried to spread it to folks who lost family in the Holocaust.

I don't expect them to bring Velveteen Dream back just because of how much he's continued to spiral since leaving, but one I do 100% expect to be back I'm surprised they haven't picked up yet is Ryker. Triple H always seemed high on him and he's doing a whole lot of nothing except spending every waking moment tweeting about how much he hates black and gay people.

That's a termination I think Triple H wouldn't be able to overrule. I also don't think Ryker is coming back either.

There's no way they bring Wuertz back. He's zero value added. The others mentioned I could possibly see, but I would be pretty surprised to see Dream again.

I think they'll get away with this without serious controversy because its an offscreen role.

Makes sense that he was one of the producers for Ronda's match. Those two probably having matching Infowars bumper stickers and spend their spare time gushing over the quackery boosted by Acres USA.

I bet he and Ronda had all kinds of stuff to talk about. Ick. Ronda: "I think the backlash against you was exaggerated." Kendrick: "Thanks, I knew you'd understand. ...want to know what ELSE I think is exaggerated...?"

Wasn't Kendrick's "apology" statement after the AEW stuff basically "idk man I just say shit sometimes don't take me seriously" lmao?

That's a termination I think Triple H wouldn't be able to overrule. I also don't think Ryker is coming back either. Well we didn't think HHH was gonna bring back Brian Kendrick either but here we are, so at this point I'm just gonna lower my expectations into the ground.

I think the difference is that Kendrick, in theory, might add value in the role as an agent (his first match as an agent being ass takes away from that lol but still) in spite of his problematic views. I don't see what value Drake adds that makes him worth the trouble. And also I think mistery's point is that Triple H isn't the sole decider here and Khan might override him if he tries.

There are tons of people out there who can also be agents for WWE, be good in their roles, and DIDN'T deny The Holocaust and try and spread these toxic world views in 100 percent serious fashion But hey, what do I know, I don't run the company lol

I wouldn't make that decision obviously.

I'm all for people getting second chances, but Holocaust denial is the line for me. This is not a good look for HHH & WWE.

there's people I don't like for whatever reason Triple H has brought back, but people like Brian Kendrick and Sarah Logan I just don't understand the value in them to ignore their negatives

I bet he and Ronda had all kinds of stuff to talk about. Ick. Spanky: Its been really nice talking to someone open minded enough to do their own research, thanks for letting me off the hook Ronda: Hook? Did you say hook? Let me tell you about... Please note this post is in no way related to the wrestler known as Hook, he has heard enough dumb wrestlers during his lifetime to realise it's best not to say much

Kendrick realized what Shotzi rhymes with and likely demanded to book it.

They probably put dish soap on their fingers and use them to brush their teeth while spouting the benefits of pyramid power and claiming the government is going to reactivate HAARP to kill everyone.
