Your fanfiction is not official.
Those are all good releases, except maybe Barrett. Ryberg can fuck off, as can Ryder and Ziggler.
God I would be so happy if poor mans HBK and Billy Guns love child was released
>Sandow
Fucking good talent squandered.
I hate vince and I hate how I can't stop watching his shitty product
Only mildly sad about Zeb 2bh, guess Vince doesn't really care for getting help with booking right now
>>1268331
>right now
>>1268316

Sandow was shit.
Barrett was wasted talent, everyone else was trash
>>1268368
Literally better than the present WWE Champ in every way.
>>1268316
>Fucking good talent squandered.
When will this meme end? Sandow and Roman went to the same wrestling couch and it shows.
WHAT'S THE INTELLECTUAL SANDOW HADDAD DOING IN THE IMPACT ZONE?!

Damn...

Why the fuck they didn't release Eva Marie? Cameron had at least 2% more talent than Eva
WHATS STU BENNETT DOING IN THE TEMPLE?

Maybe Jeff Jarrett can give them free gold to join GFW
>>1268408
>Swoggle will be the personal bodyguard for the GFW Gold vault
>>1268238
Ziggler just signed a new deal last year, no chance senpai.
>>1268398
and that will be cancelled in a year
>>1268376
not according to ACTUAL people in the business.
If Sandow was so talented he would've made a solid midcard spot for his career. Instead he was dwelling near the bottom of the food chain where he actually belonged.
Some talent, yeah?
>Cameron comes out in support of Ryback
>gets shitcanned immediately
Not even trying to be subtle, huh Vince?
>>1268422
Because in wrestling, and especially in the WWE, your wrestling ability is always directly tied to your spot on the card, right?
>>1268424
Socialists BTFO by based Vince. He was sending a message with this massacre.
>>1268422
>talent = card spot
Look at Roman Reigns and tell me he is the most talented man on the roster
>>1268238
I just hope they bring in good talent to make up for them. There needs to be more people capable of main eventing PPVs, otherwise we're going to be known as the SHIELD era, and that sounds terrible.
Batista would actually be pretty nice to have back tbqh familia.
Sauce b0ss?

https://twitter.com/Jtg1284/status/728615836039172096
>>1268438
They don't need to bring in any more damn people. They have a very talented roster as it is. They just can't book anyone for shit, talent or not.
>>1268392
TD and she's good eye candy
>>1268441
She was still subpar, even for a Diva, but in her last few matches on NXT she was showing remarkable improvement, she even worked a pretty dang decent match with Asuka.
>>1268438
Yes, the guy who was too washed-up for a comeback over 2 years ago is definitely somebody we should build "The New Era" around.
>>1268443
I remember the releases in 2014. I thought he was gonna hang on for just that little bit longer as the names were announced...and then it came.
>WWE released Barrett
>implying Barrett didn't quit
>>1268448
>decent
>>1268441
Oh fuck i loved Bad News Barrett
>>1268448
>he even worked a pretty dang decent match with Asuka
That's because it's freakin Asuka
>>1268445
and none of won't draw a dime except Nakamura
>>1268453
Barrett wanted early release from his contract. WWE gave it to him.
>>1268454
But it was, anime man.
>>1268463
Man he's like an even more JUST version of Ryder
>>1268238

>>1268463
>HOAH! WHATTU RIREY AREXSON DOING IN NEW JAPAN ZONE, DESU?
>>1268449
I'm just talking about more people, who look capable of leading a PPV. I never said they should build the entire show around him; that would be a horrible idea.
>>1268445
They do have decent talent, but within 2 or 3 years it'll just be
>Orton Vs Sheamus
>Cena Vs Orton
>Cena Vs Edge
>CM Punk Vs Chris Jericho
Repetitive shit is annoying, and WWE has a lot of work before they have a good supply of main eventers.
>>1268431
>>1268436
Well as far as this year is concerned then yeah. Aren't AJ Styles and Kevin Owens top card and main eventers, along with Ambrose, Rollins and Wyatts (before injuries)?
According to /wwe/ they're big talents and they're getting their deserved push.
>inb4 newfag/casual
Those other "talents" that /wwe/ are so adamant on... They're not really talents. Let it go; let go of the rage.
>>1268470
S-stop being mean, guys. You're going to hurt the feelings of people who will never ever read this, nor care if they did.
>>1268463
>>1268470
> crying for A-Ry
He's an obnoxious shithead.
>>1268470
Guess they shouldnt have sucked so bad then
>>1268475
Yeah, no. Despite what some people claim, New Japan is not some magical land of wrestling opportunity where every mistreated jobber gets a fair shake, Riley has no place there.
>>1268467
That was on based gook, Cameron still sucked
>>1268476
> "The Look"
It didn't work over 2 years ago when Batista could use nostalgia.
Not gonna work now.
So glad my boy Ryder survived. I don't know how he does it every summer with these cuts but he does. Lucky guy.
>>1268438
Batista will never return. He despises PG and the way WWE is run now, and he doesn't need the money now that he's getting movie roles.
>>1268490
Batista was fine, they just fucked up by not having him be a surprise #30 entrance, and instead telescoped his victory. The fans were too busy sucking Daniel Brian's dick to pay any attention to him.
>>1268422
> Vince has the right opinion about everything
'Sup Mark?
>>1268491
Ryder will never be let go, creative is not done taking dumps on him yet, they never will.
>>1268491
He's pretty regularly on tv now since mania senpai. He's jobbed out all the time but at least he's not a Social Outcast or anything.
When's his pink slip coming?
>>1268491
>implying Vince would release his favourite guy to shit on
>>1268496
His entrance number would've made no difference whatsoever, regardless if it was deserved or not, the people had their minds set on Bryan at the time, and would boo anyone put over him, especially if that anyone is just a walking billboard that read "Go watch Guardians of the Galaxy, in theaters August 1st"
>>1268496
Yes, that's totally what went wrong. It definitely wasn't Batista returning as a scrawny, gassed-out shell of his former self.
>>1268238
El Torito is finally gone???
>>1268491
I think going to NXT and not making a problem about it, probably gained him points backstage
>>1268238
>Cameron
Fucking finally, that cunt never should have had a job to begin with. Didn't give a shit about wrestling and was never going to improve. Plus Naomi was always hotter, so she didn't even have that going for her.
>Sandow, Barrett, Riley
Fuck WWE sometimes, all three showed potential
>Santino, Hornswoggle, Coulter, Torito
Didn't know they had contacts still, honestly. Especially Santino
>Ryback, Ryder, and Ziggler
Ziggler is bullshit, he's got a comfy midcard job for life. Ryder I would unfortunately believe. Ryback is obvious since he wants to leave.
I'll miss Cameron and her juicy Asian nigger look
>>1268512
Mascarita Dorada is back!

>>1268508
If they didn't want Brian they could have just had him lose clean to Orton at Survivor Series, and they'd have been done with it. Hell he could've fought him at the Royal Rumble too.
It certainly was a bad mistake to leave Brian as a deserving contestant, but that doesn't effect Batista.
>>1268510
He seemed fine to me. Are you sure you're not just letting personal bias change your memory?
>Zeb released

This, Bullet Club actually opened some doors for gaijins but before them and even now it's pretty hard for gaijins to get over there. People like Ryback (if he really ends up leaving) and Barret will certainly be able to get a good spot there, especially with all the vacancies recently, but ARy is fucked.
>>1268689
You know he retired right?
>>1268534
Dude Batista himself said he had told people backstage that his RR win would simply not go over but they insisted it would work. Stop trying to defend a pure shit decision.

>>1268681
I'm waiting mah niggah.
>>1268681
It's gotta be Orton. People keep saying Henry, but he has zero to contribute to the current roster.
>>1268681

Now I know why no one likes Miz.
>>1268700
Puppies are cool.
>>1268759
Go ahead anon, hopefully it won't get deleted or something
>>1268422
I'm no proponent of Sandow's abilities as a wrestler, but if you honestly think that "talent speaks for itself" is a mantra the awfully petty WWE follows you're out of your mind.
>>1268765
Show is safe, he has a match with Shaq next year.
Kane is safe being a road agent.
Heny is retiring so that wouldn't be considered major.
Orton is really the only option.
>>1268705
WCW treated him just fine. Vince killed his career.
>>1268681
(((FEINSTEIN)))
>>1268772
Why Orton though? Has he been unhaooy with the company ore something?
>>1268681
When will we get word on who it is?
Reminder that David Otunga is still employed
>>1268774
WCW just built him up as a monster to be taken down by Hogan, and did it poorly, his supposed squash matches were just regular matches were the opponent got in a ton of offense and Vader spent most of the match on the mat.
>>1268778
Considering he basically walked out of the company due to being booked to wrestle on a pre-show and not showed up to this day... yeah, basically the only option.
>>1268782
Yeah as a lawyer and pre-show analyst
>>1268700
vader seems like a cool guy desu
>>1268747
he's a giant though
>>1268787
>and pre-show analyst
Lets not even pretend this is a thing.
>>1268700
Wasn't he the one who basically posted himself naked laying on bed with his dick visible?
>>1268784
That makes sense then. I'm fine with it though, Orton hasn't been good for a while.
>>1268791
if anything it's where careers go to die
>>1268766
>bryan is paired with the miz
>they feud and bryan goes over
>literally becomes so popular that wwe is forced to have him main event a landmark wretlemania
maybe they just need to rethink the process.
>>1268794
He is also a mad bastard.
>>1268802
He went AWOL twice when he was in the Marines
>>1268752
Henry has a 3 year contract that he started in 2014 iirc. Doesnt make sense buying him out of it. He`ll be gone next year though.
>>1268805
He may also have shat in someones bag.
>>1268808
he also is made of glass and can't really wrestle, atleast not anymore
>>1268808
and has an autistic daughter
>>1268797
>for a while
Orton is that bad type of a wrestler who only works with one gimmick and one gimmick only. And that was Legend Killer. Other than that he's probably one of the most boring wrestlers on the planet and when I see him go for a resthold I lose a bit of love I have for wrestling every single fucking time.
>>1268815
I think you're confusing him with Foley.
>>1268516
Barrett had the most potential. He was fucking great on the mic, and adlibbed well. Could have been legit main event material.
>>1268719
>[YouTube] WCW Sid Breaks His Leg (embed)
Nope, Nope, Nope
>>1268818
Orton is a decent heel but is obviously best back in the legend killer days. I was a big fan of him back then. His theme was also way better back then.
>>1268516
Barrett is a shit who kept injuring himself
>>1268831
Pretty sure Noelle is somewhat fucked in the head
>>1268831
Noelle definitely has some learning disability. Just look at the way she talks and acts.
>>1268831
What
>>1268815
Now i'm waiting for someone to post her pictue and ask "is she autistic?"
>>1268830
He can be decent if he tries, and good if he tries a lot. Problem is he clearly doesn't give a flying fuck for years now.
That theme was great and it fit perfectly his arrogant cuntish gimmick. Voices is too slow for my liking, although Orton seems to like it more for whatever reason. I suppose he never really finished his edgy teenager phrase
>>1268238
>Barrett
What a waste of potential. I was trolling some brit saying there was never gonna be an English WWE champion, but if there was anyone I could pick, it would be him.
>>1268422
What a trash argument. Sandow is talented, he can get crowds to care about him as a heel or as a face, a quality that most wrestlers don't have working today. What a shame. Him getting released has to be cause of a backstage thing.
>>1268445
>They have a very talented roster
The roster is the worst it's been since the 80's.
>>1268535
Based Cameron
>>1268846
WWE was probably looking for any reason to get rid of Sandow. Like Maddox. They just completely took something so little and used it to get him fired.
Months later, Jericho and Robinson say "fuck" a bunch of times DURING Raw and nothing happens.
Not surprised about Sandow. They filled their kebab quota with Sami

Only as Mizdow. The Savior gimmick was hot for like a bit, but boring. And everything post-Mizdow was utterly terrible.
>>1268852
Wrestling wise it's never been better. They're just lacking in charismatic guys, or at least ones who are allowed to be themselves and show it. The rigid scripting cripples a lot of them. Even Reigns seems pretty smooth irl.
>>1268881
>everything post-Mizdow

wwe needs to sign Brian Zane, they need a 30 year old who looks likes he should be in grade 10 Geometry.
>>1268883
>who can't draw a dime
Most of them haven't even been in the main event. How do you know their drawing power? Even if they can't, why the fuck do you care? Do you have a financial stake in WWE? They're all great performers.
>>1268892
In every way. Cameron had was flat all over
>>1268900
>all this salt
But you know they can't talk or draw money, all they can do is flips.
>>1268900
WWE is a business. If you can't draw money then you're a liability to the company and don't need to be put on TV or the main event scene.
>>1268895
>we want the cuckold audience
So who do you think will be getting released next year?
The people actually on the chopping block are Jack Swagger, whose deal is up soon like Barrett, and Mark Henry, who is retiring once his deal is up soon.
>>1268907
Except WWE itself has fostered an environment in which no one is a draw, and instead "The WWE Brand" is the draw.
>>1268921
>Jack Swagger
Thank god.
>>1268921
Swagger's contract is up in a month anyway, so they won't bother to fire him.
>>1268876
>Sasha

I can't stand that smug permavirgin. He has the exact same opinions on wrestling as reddit.
>>1268906
>immediately resorting to le salt meme
KO, New Day and Stardust can all talk. They're not flippers either. Rollins is decent when he isn't being made to cut 20 minute droning promos. Zayn did just fine on Smackdown this week. The material they are given is the problem.
>>1268907
>the main event scene
right now this consists of one of the most forced stars of all time and three guys who arrived in wwe this year
>>1268831
Why do they take Height Growth Hormone, do they wanna grow taller?
>>1268907
How come Cena has been in the main event for so long if drawing is that important? Rev. drops whenever he is champion and has consistently done so for years.

My mum doesn't erp with neckbeards from /jp/ though
>>1268940
>KO, New Day and Stardust can talk
>Seth Rollins
>good
Sami Zayn
>being anything but a boring out of shape ginger seth rogan muslim
>>1268954
Cena was given an opportunity and he made himself into a top draw with his image and got kids to love him, the company saw this and exploited it to their advantage. I don't know if you know about WWE's finances but Cena has been a profitable venture for them.
>>1268759
Did you do it or what?
>>1268906
weak weak bait.
but its working so carry on
>>1268965
Either Cena directly harms WWE's finances and revenue or he has little effect and other forces are more important. Either way it shows that drawing power of the champ isn't all that important to WWE.
>>1268954
Because Cena is a major draw.
>>1268975
He isn't. WWE has zero major draws.
>>1268974
Cena gets WWE positive publicity through make-a-wish foundation
The Rock gets WWE publicity cause he's a popular action movie star
Brock gets WWE publicity cause he's a former UFC champion and a freak athlete
Undertaker is an attraction cause of his longevity and anyone who was sentient in the 90's knows who Stone Cold was.
This is what I mean by drawing money. You're actually an asset for the company and you bring in new and old viewers alike. When I say indie darlings can't draw a dime, I'm not saying it to meme, they've been hiring Japanese talent lately cause they're trying to branch out to that market, but I don't see how someone like "Luke Gallows" or "Austin Aries" gets people who don't watch mandrama interested in wrestling, people who watch WWE cause of Austin Aries are probably the biggest wrestling nerds out there alive.
Anyone feel a bit sorry for Sandow?
He took all that shit, all those dress up gimmicks like a champ and still managed to get over to an extent. He was made into a joke and still he gave his best, presumably hoping it would hold him in good stead for the future, and now he's just done.

And it's fucking crazy yo
>>1268995
I thought he was a jobber 2bh, it was around the time I'd started watching, but the fact that he got people chanting for the Mizdow gimmick unironically in every single town goes to show that he's good at his job as a performer and he definitely deserved more than he got.

>>1268989
Most of those guys are part time. Even with all their publicity ratings continue to drop every year. The WWE brand itself is the draw now and it's seeing diminishing returns. They have deliberately made it this way and made it hard for any guy to bring in viewers with their atrocious booking. Not even Cena's return will bring long term increases, just watch.

The booking has gotten worse but so have the wrestlers. Cena is in the twilight of his career and will becoming a part time act soon. Roman is the new face of the company and smarks threatening not to watch all they want is hilarious cause they've known this for years but are still watching.

They sell out arenas because it's WWE. The name alone is enough. The guys on the show are not as important as they used to be. Unless you want to argue that Triple H and Roman drew those huge numbers for WM32. Or the card full of indie darlings and women.
