*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

A lot more cuts from WWE, including Shayna Baizler, Cora Jade, Dakota Kai, Braun Stroman and GiGi Dollin (really sad about this one) . This follows some background staff from yesterday going.

No company is immune to this, I have been through it a couple of times. But it must gall the talent when the high up brag about the gate takings etc plus all the new signings with big fat contracts. I guess HHH needs his new toys

Ah man, Gigi is awesome.

Karrion is still on…he’s gonna be the MVP come year end.

They cooking him like a stew

Any chance AEW would be interested in any of these? I thought maybe Dakota Kai, but there's not enough spots for the women they have without adding more I suppose.

I'm not too familiar with Strowman's work but I recall he was actually a pretty big name not that long ago?

 

[sledger]

Strowman feels a bit like a modern day Test type character to me. Big man, not bad in the ring at all, but never really went anywhere despite repeatedly being inserted into high profile angles.

Maybe some of the ladies, I am not sure of the status of Britt, Mariah May and Kamille. So maybe AEW does need some ladies

 

[sledger]

Mariah May will be in the WWE at the first opportunity. They are clearly interested in her, as she is in them. AEW's handling of Kamille has been totally botched as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if she bails as soon as she can either.

 

[sledger]

Sounds legit.

Never know. One of my English teachers at high school had the name of Stephen King. I know THE Stephen King was a teacher. But this guy was definitely not an author plus I am not that old

Yeah he used to be a monster but then they Kane-o-fied him and he was never the same. WWE simply doesn't know how to handle big guys once the initial shock n awe phase is over. The guys themselves think they have comic chops that deserve to be highlighted but the easiest way to ruin the mystique of a force of nature is by making him do comedy.

I think they actually did a good job rebuilding him after he initially fell off (and then he fell off again)

Posted it before, but still one of my fav WWE segments, Roman was the face and Braun the heel at the time

Kamille got a serious injury right in the middle of her push AFAIK and she's been out ever since. Don't think they've botched it

Britt's been let go from memory, and as sledger said, it's been established that Mariah May is going to defect soon when her contract ends. I think they'd probably want to replace her in the main event picture with a Statlander/Willow type and use their spots for people like Aminata, Anna Jay etc.

There's so little on-screen type for the women I'm not sure whether it would be good for anyone to sign more unless they're a Bayley type superstar

I lost interest after a while, but her time as Mone's lackey was definitely a botch job imo. Made her look like utter crap.

 

[Athlai]

Was Kamille ever supposed to be anything other than a heavy?
