A lot of folk gonna read/watch him say that shyt and believe he was brainwashed
But I kinda get it. Fans get attached to their favorites and want them to succeed and do entertaining shyt. So when they spend more than their time in a promotion that does the exact opposite with them, they lash out because they didn't get what they wanted and see it as their favorite getting fukked over unfairly. I think a ton of wrestlers are "
" about getting 'deavored is because they got their biggest paydays, and/or got to live their dream and/or they know they are gonna be fine working other places after whatever exposure they got in the WWE.
I think fans will always overreact over releases because of what of that "unfair treatment" feeling. And they have a point too. Of these last batch of firings, the only one that got a legit big run was Braun, I don't think anyone feels bad about him, people are just shocked he got cut.
If somehow WWE was able to give these people a good 1-3 year run, there would still be outrage but it would much less because there wouldn't be a sentiment of "they didn't take advantage of this wrestlers that I like".
