And my opinion onf Shane's WWE career prospects hasn't changed one bit since the rumors first came up about him signing there:
They are gonna sign Strickland just to put him with the Street Profits where he will only ever wrestle on EVOLVE shows.:welpkid:

I like how breh signing is supposed to be some sort of huge blow against #NWG :mjlol:


Oh no! That guy in that gif people post is going to WWE! Whatever shall we doooooooo :sadcam:




Watch other wrestlers and make more gifs nikka, fukk outta here.:stopitslime:


Matters fact, I can guarantee people will STILL use the No Watch Shuffle gif on some "he was better when he was doing this" shyt anyway. One of them bytches had Lio Rush in it, and breh been signed for a minute.












shytty trolling aside, if they were offering him the best deal, can't be mad at him getting paid. :manny:

Muta needs to be the new face of #NWG
He aint never been in WWE and likely won't ever be in WWE.

It was all about the movement and not Shane my guy. From what I've been reading the Ain't Nobody joint was the aesthetic that inspired the use of the gif.

In all seriousness though, i don't think people understand that for an indy wrestler, it's probably a huge relief not to wonder where your next check is coming from for a few years. And you can get that one big contract then dip.

Yeah, I think a side effect of wrestling being so accessible now is that it's really easy to overlook just how much of a grind it is to be an independent wrestler. You've gotta make shows all over the place that might not be convenient to get to, make all that shyt work financially, and take care of your health solo. Signing a WWE deal is worth it just for the downside guarantee for a lot of these wrestlers. shyt, signing a contract that guarantees you a solid amount of money as long as you're at least available to do replacement level work is an attractive deal for just about anybody.

So let's review the events since this thread was started.

- Rumors of Shane Strickland coming to WWE

- The Revival ask for their release immediately after winning a televised match on the flagship show.

- Reports of Maria and Mike Kanellis requesting their release.

- After being pressed for comments, Maria Kanellis debunks every rumor EXCEPT the one about asking for the release.

- Rumors that Andrade Cien Almas is telling his friends from Mexico not to sign with Vince because it isnt that great there.

:francis: These are all within 24 hours. Something is coming brehs. Til then...

Former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Shane Strickland said his goodbyes at last night's DEFY Wrestling event, telling the fans it would be his last appearance for the promotion as he moves on to bigger and better things, according to PWInsider. The roster surrounded the ring after his match and everyone sang his entrance theme.

In January, Strickland announced on Twitter he's now a free agent after being able to fulfill the rest of his Lucha Underground deal after season four. He played Killshot on the show.

It's been rumored WWE has interest in Strickland (who also performs in EVOLVE) to join up with NXT, although it's still unknown if a deal has been offered.
