The OTTB Wrestling News thread

[willhustle]

Alex Riley be that guy who wins the "How the heck did he manage to be employed this long?" award. Hornswoggle being the runner up (and i believe that he had one strike left on the wellness programme)

With WB they basically went "Eff it, that guy is gone anyway".

Cameron had nuclear heat on her according to the dirt sheets. So no surprise there

El Torito - Meh

Santino - Retired one or two years ago. No big loss.

Zeb - He hated the travel

Some rumours are saying that Orton could be done as well.

I could see Tamina go. Her last name wont do her any favors. And WWE have fired injured people before

Alicia Fox should be gone. Mark Henry maybe. Contract is coming up and they havent had anything he could do for a while now.

Ryback, Titus and Swagger. First two are in the dog house and the third have been treading waters for at least a year now.

I doubt they get rid of Orton he's still a big deal in the company but the rest of those names are more than likely out the door. I think somebody on here that Titus had a job with the University of Miami when his contact was up.

Smh this was my nigga right here too b. I always thought Wade would be a bigtime heel for years.

Thought Alex Riley had potential too

 

[MillzOG]

I still will never understand how they fucked this Damien Sandow thing up. That intellectual savior of the masses shit was great, the team he had with Cody was pretty good, they gave him absolute shit with the Miz gimmick and he shined....yet they threw him away?! That's dumb as hell imo.

Didn't care for Sandow. Good comedic character with the Mizdow thing but otherwise not a big loss.

The biggeat loss so far is Barrett. I got a feeling he will be outshined before the day is over.

Any predictions?

Also, where the hell ya getting the news about the releases? I only know about it from ya posts lol

 

[Chi-Town Bully]

They only releasing people that nobody has seen and haven't been used in a long ass time, nobody that will be missed.

WWE.com is dropping em.

Im thinking Mark Henry, he serves no purpose but as a long time guy (20 years believe it or not) he might be safe. They could always transition him elsewhere.

Might get one or two more middling guys too.

 

[Cymicaldane]

Henry is a safe pick. As i said above his contract is coming up for renewal. And he haven't done jack in quite a while. Henry is also 44 years old and he have been around for 20 years now. I think only Taker, HHH and Kane have been around longer of those that are active

 

[jono]

Most of these people had to see it coming.

Fandango, Social Outcasts, Goldust, Breeze all making it to TV regularly now to serve as jobbers.

Darren Young appeared on TV out of nowhere this week or he'd be on the chopping block too b

Which means the "Superstars" talent is up for release.

Im interested in seeing if Sin Cara or Jack Swagger manage to survive.

 

[TheBoyRo]

With all that talent coming up from NXT, there releases were bound to happen

 

[willhustle]

WWE wastes careers and that release list shows it. 3 of those names had potential to be something serious when they started out and creative fucked them over.

-Wade Barrett imo could have been the next HHH of this era. Injuries set him back at the wrong time creative decided to give him pushes at different points in his career. When he had the Nexus faction going creative did them a disservice in that SummerSlam elimination match. Then when they first started the BNB gimmick he was getting over on the mic and fans were catching on to it and creative put a stop to it because they still wanted Barrett as a heel.

-Damien Sandow could have been gold being that he had Lanny Poffo's "The Genius" gimmick which hadn't been used in 20+ yrs at the time which was a slight revamp. The tag team he had with Cody was very good. Sandow was fucked over when he cashed in on Cena and he retained. They didn't even give him a chance for a WHC run (but they wasted a MITB win & cash-in on Sheamus).

-Alex Riley was cool as Miz's manager and then broke away and became face. I thought he could have been something if time & development was invested in him during his early years. A backstage incident w/Cena fucked his career over. From there on he was stuck in WWE creative hell (political bs) and never recovered.

The rest of those releases were long overdue or need like I said with Cameron a while back Vince was wasting money on her. The next wave of releases they need to put Eva Marie in it.

NXT will see alot of cuts soon too. These well known guys like Aries and Nak aren't getting peanuts, theres stress on that budget too.

 

[1CK1S]

Lol Cameron gone as well

I knew this was coming when that tumblr thing of hers dropped.

What is this Tumblr of hers that you speak of?

[Serious Juice Mayne]

Randy Orton is gone! Deleted all his shit off the website ... I'm about to go play some numbers niggas!

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

They seriously dropped the ball with Sandow

Barrett and Riley too, y'all may not agree tho

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Henry ain't going nowhere til he retire call crazy but Vince not pulling that shit

 

[OGDirtyDee]

Damien Sandow termination is the biggest bullshit and WWE biggest lost money. He could of easily been a big mid carder after the Miz breakup. buddy was OVER

 

[jono]

All the cuts made sense. I'm waiting for that one that doesn't.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Sandow is one u genuinely feel bad for
