WWE's so scared of guys going to other companies that they're willing to offer a guy, someone who apparently has been such a pain in the ass to them that they won't use him and he (allegedly) has nuclear heat with the locker room, a long term contract...to do absolutely nothing.
He may be a colossal dikkhead for all we know (nothing in his side of the story necessarily disproves that), but he needs to get away from this dumbass company for his own good. Go back on the indies, adjust the attitude a bit (without losing confidence in himself), and make real money on the circuit. Because he sure as hell doesn't seem to be headed anywhere in WWE.
Also, I just have to say this as well: fukk Booker and Mark Henry for hanging this guy out to dry in the media (reading Henry's comments really made me rethink some of the stuff I said earlier on in the thread, if I'm being honest). Lio decides to have a modicum of pride as a Black man, and all of a sudden he needs to be crushed in public? Because he doesn't want to be seen IN PUBLIC doing menial duties for people?
Listen, I still think he needs to humble himself a bit and pay some dues, but these people seem to think that he should just suffer any old bullshyt for the sake of paying dues. The point shouldn't be to humiliate guys, but to teach them the business from the ground up, as with any apprenticeship. Carrying someone's bags doesn't achieve that. Sitting in gorilla with the producers and watching matches from that perspective, building rings with the ring crew, working sales like a lot of wrestlers did in ECW, that type of work actually teaches you about different aspects of the business.
So yeah, the more I think about it, the less I mind certain aspects of Lio's frustration. I think it would have been better for his WWE career to just keep his head down to an extent and think about alleviating this issue in the long term (again everyone eats an unnecessary amount of shyt; there really isn't any avoiding it), and the way he's going about all of this isn't really the smartest thing he could do at the moment, but I definitely get where he's coming from.
