Shit they might as well push Gresham to the damn moon now.

How many contracted workers does that make now

It's not even blacklisting, it's that wrestlers don't want to have to wait two or three months to be signed.

Fish, Cole, any other potential Full Sail participant needs to be contract free for around 90 days before "the ball gets rolling".... Which is still bullshit. I'm not saying WWE is right for talking with talent while under contract, but the fact is the guys aren't under legal deals anymor...

The entire wrestling business is built on a lie

The Attitude Era had the luxury of having Austin and Rock, two of the biggest money draws of all times.

I love Sheamus. Dude brings intensity to his matches and his strikes look and feel like they really hurt. I'd LOVE to see Sheamus leave and head over to New Japan, moreso than Ryback, Swagger and even Cody. Sheamus and Ishii/Shibata could have some WARS. And Sheamus/Okada sounds like a great Title ...

I was using hyperbole to express how awful I think Sheamus is. I didn't literally mean that every match he's ever been in is worse than a Cheeseburger match, I just meant that, conceptually, I don't see any circumstance where Sheamus adds anything to a match. All he can do is subtract from it. Chee...

Again, straight up bullshitting is the only way to surprise people today.

Assuming Jeff is telling the truth.

Lying outright is the only way to try and surprise people in wrestling now.

Which is why it will crash and burn spectacularly.

Vince McMahon was right then and right today, wrestling promoters might hate him but they hate each other just as much.

I'll give Anthem a year before they're sick of losing millions and try to dump TNA.

How to destroy your career in less than 6 months aka Colby Corino. I don't know why he has done all this bullshit having a contract with NJPW for going to their Dojo (Info courtesy of Pro Wrestling Sheet): Alachua County Jail officials tell us Corino was taken into custody in Florida today around 2...

LU is super niche though.

Kyle would be fine in NXT as an obnoxious heel.

I don't see him being successful in any other role due to his own limitations.

If Kyle wants to wrestle in Japan over WWE he'll do it. And honestly I don't think WWE would even offer him much to join, he's not a guy they can build around. Maybe he'd do better in NXT but even there they have a ton of guys more worthy. Not insulting him, just that I believe Hero, Strong, and eve...

The thing about Japan is you pretty much have to sacrifice your personal life to work full time there.

Have Cole, O'Reilly, and Fish come into NXT together as a heel trio.

Even if the non-contracted talent are staying in ROH they'll never be pushed to any meaningful role.

If Kyle O'Reilly joins WWE to do a fucking cruiserweight tournament he's a moron. Straight up, a moron. He put effort into putting on mass for what? To be on a show that seemingly few people watch and will eventually turn into Main Event where good matches are happening but nobody cares? He'd be be...
