Drake Maverick says he's still in the Cruiserweight tourney

 

Per Pro Wrestling Sheet, all the producers have been furloughed and not released.

 

Rowan gone

 

Primo and Epico lol

 

(not) HEEL Ziggler

 

Rowan would kill it in Japan

 

Mike Kanellis next.

If Maria isn't gone too (unless she already was gone?) I wonder if any of these are temporary. No NXT cuts yet is odd.


But it's pretty awful that it feels like this is all coming out literally as they're all finding out about it.

 

NXT wrestlers make peanuts compared to these main roster wrestlers - cutting them doesn't really move the needle so much

 

I refuse to believe that there isn't someone completely expendable on the NXT roster who makes more than the Colons

 

Seems like she’s gone as well

 

I just did a quick google search and epico was making $300,000 as of 2016. Even if that’s cut in half, Id guess that $150,000 is still more than anyone in NXT.

 

Fucking hell, this all seriously sucks.

Guess that Saudi blood money is needed elsewhere, huh?

 

GOP super pacs, probably

 

Bryan Alvarez says that these cuts aren't actually cuts and will probably be brought back, just not guaranteed.

How that makes sense with my understanding of the WWE pay structure sounds confusing.

 

the WWE isn't cash strapped - they are only doing this to make profit margins look bigger for their investors on Thursday.

they are a fucked up company

 

This whole week has really hit home just how shitty of a company WWE is. They horde talent like a dragon, worried more about keeping it out of the hands of others than how they can actually use it. And then when the going gets stuff they kick that talent to the curb

 

All of them? Or just the non-wrestlers?

 

probably just the producers

 

Yea, the cultaholic guy said they’re furloughed but I thought maybe there was new info that included some wrestlers. This sucks.

 

"Now, people have been told that there is a possibility that when everything turns around they will be rehired, but nobody knows anything" - his exact quote

then separately talks about how the agents getting "cut" (which seems to really be a furlough) makes sense but will 100% need to be brought back when everything goes forward.

now he's talking about how he thinks everyone will lay low to get hired back, but that there's no way the Colons are back.


also Ryder just got cut

 

stop supporting the WWE

 

No Way Jose cut

 

Ryder cut too

 

Maria and Mike
