    Dude was given shitty gimmick after gimmick. I’d like to see him return to Impact or go to ROH.

    Memories are nice, but that's all they are. Prestigious

    Yeah he was too good for the shit he was handed. Hope he kills it wherever he goes next.

    He was one of the best characters in NXT. Was really hoping he would go back there but he’ll be fine.

    This is actually a massive deal in the wrestling industry

  13. From what I’m seeing this supposedly won’t really have any effect for WWE/AEW because they don’t use “true non-compete” clauses. Wrestlers are still paid for that 90 days unless they can get it waived.

    I also thought it would be a bigger deal due to how releases get reported but apparently not

    Howdy y'all! Supporter

    Grimes never really reached his full potential in WWE. Trevor Lee was incredible in PWG and I no doubt he'd kill it in AEW/ROH

    So stoked for that match. Prestige events are the most fun I’ve ever had seeing wrestling live. It’s always a party.

    If the FTC wanted to mess with them, they could because they are functionally non-competes...but I think the FTCs power is much more about getting paid, and WWE pays them for those 90 days. If severance = non-compete length, its hard to argue a worker is getting screwed.

    WWE would just literally drop a "X is no longer in the plans" and cut them 90 days later
