It absolutely f***ing sucks that this happened, and that they lied to him like that. With that said... it isn't exactly reasonable to ask a company to guarantee you will never have to be in fear for your job, and that he felt he needed to ask suggests the writing was on the wall. |

Welp, Trevor Lee and Calvin Tankman becoming the DPW tag-team champions, I guess. Hope he and Andrew Everett team up again. Lee could use the backing of a super-heavyweight. My (semi-irrational) hatred for Everett means I'm not a fan of that idea, but it probably will happen. The giant thing still isn't funny. |

I'm willing to put money on the person who told him he'd always have a job not actually being in a position to make that promise. I'm also pretty confident that said person may not have realised that fact until Grimes was cut. |

It's a notice period. Same as most of us will have in our jobs.Most of us? I'd love to take a head count to see who has a notice period where you get paid and don't have to come in. Cuz I'm 40, work at a multi-million dollar corporation in middle management basically, and have never even heard of such a thing outside of wrestling and executives. Everyone has a notice period. I've been made redundant three times. All three I was paid my notice, and told not to go in. I've never heard of someone being made redundant and then having to work their notice, because companies think employees being told they're services are no longer required are going to be disruptive, or cause damage. |

Again, NOT EVERYONE HAS A NOTICE PERIOD. You are talking very specifically. Everyone job I'VE ever held, and every job everyone I KNOW has ever held, is at will employment. Meaning, if they want to fire you, you're fired. You don't get paid for a month while you sit at home, you go to unemployment and look for a new job. |

I'm also pretty confident that said person may not have realised that fact until Grimes was cut. In terms of the actual wrestlers I don’t think you could ever say they will always have a job, it’s just a stupid statement to make. Historically, how many wrestlers have stayed in the company until they chose to leave? I think it would be a smaller percentage than those who were fired or let go. Johnny Ace did the same thing to Jazz years ago when he was actual Talent Relations. She could see the writing on the wall with the Diva Search girls coming in and went to talk to him, he said she had a job for life. Weeks later called her up and fired her lol |

Cases like Grimes are the most frustrating ones. It’s one thing if they release you in NXT because they just don’t see you as Material.
Or if they try stuff with you on the MR and it just doesn’t work.
But when they bring you up and then don’t even give you A CHANCE to try and succeed. That must be so aggravating.

I can use my buddy as a reference and claim he was my supervisor. That’s really all irrelevant, point is; I get fired, I don’t get paid. |

Wouldn't be legal in my country. |

Wouldn't be legal in my country. Legally, the default is that either party can end the employment at any time. An employment contract may have terms different from that and then those terms control. A lot of times the custom is giving your “two weeks’ notice” but that’s not really a legal concept if there’s no contract, it’s more of a good faith thing. Similarly, an employer that is laying someone off may decide to tell the person they’re terminated but keep paying them through the end of the week or end of the month even without the legal obligation to do so, in a similar showing of good faith. |

Not really a cut, but Reggie/Scrypts is apparently gone after June 1st, as his contract is set to expire, per Fightful Select. And WWE isn't too interested in offering him a new one, I guess.

Baffling that he's still been on TV pretty often in competitive matches then, not to mention being prominent in a Snickers commercial. |
