Don’t tell me they already got ACH and Swirv jobbing
anyone know whose contracts are "close" to being up?
They arent entirely wrong.
Not everybody is gonna get signed to AEW or even NJPW. alot of them guys gon end up in ROH and Impact. For sure a big downgrade.
:btlaff:
You're saying that like they're superstars now.
I think in these conversations, you also have to look at it beyond just the idea of advancing one's career or making more money. As more and more of these stories come out, it's clear that WWE has an utterly toxic work environment. Like Mox didn't leave because he felt WWE was fukking up his money or preventing him being a big star. Considering his position in the company, saying that would have made him sound like a madman. He left because after awhile he came to hate working there. Sasha, from reports, also just really wanted to leave because she was fed up. Same with PAC when he sat out his contract. Same with the - by all accounts - dozens of writers they lose every year.
AEW may not be the land of milk and honey people are making it out to be. To give a name, I doubt Heath Slater could jump there and instantly be a top guy. However, if they could offer him decent pay with a better work environment and a less hectic schedule, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he made that jump even if he was still just a jobber.
Another thing we miss by focusing solely on the "going to AEW/ROH/NJPW/etc" angle is that some people might just wanna do like Punk and quit wrestling altogether. These people have families, friends, other passions, and who knows what else that working for WWE kind of requires them to put on hold or be away from. For example, think about the fact that these folks had to work on Christmas, and most of them were literally just sitting in the back or only on TV for a minute. If, say, Apollo Crews has other options back home and he's tired of shyt like that, who could blame him for rolling out? We also know that WWE actively blocks or interferes with certain ventures like movie deals and TV appearances if it's not what they want for you or they aren't making money from it. So that's fukking up people's chances of doing things outside the company.
Long story short, the onus is on WWE to prove to their talent why it's worth staying. Frankly, I don't think pointing out social media engagement is gonna cut it.

telling someone who hasn't been seen on TV in over 6-12 months that their career is over.
bytch please, like it isn't already over with the WWE.
But if ur still getting paid, primarily, top dollar in terms of wrestling biz, for doing nothing....dont you ride that out?
Are you even traveling to TV tapings? You should be saving that dough. You're prob just doing house shows.

They are the epitome of backward hustling. So you're bleeding, talent hates it, fans hate it, ratings terrible and your answer to all of this is threatening talent. 
They are sneak threatening the talent now? I can imagine Vince and Kevin Dunn on some "
