I really don't understand how any of the mid or low card can trust management. Vince and whoever else clearly don't get a f**k about building people up.

I stopped watching WWE a few months ago, I had the impression that Hit Row was over and building a name for themselves?

Guys like Gargano and O'Reilly who have expiring deals have little to no reason to sign a main roster deal and stick around.

Yeah I may watch a video every now and again but I've stepped away from WWE too. They don't have a clue what they're doing and I wouldn't be surprised if AEW is on par ratings wise in the next five years.

As of this writing, the following is the current list of the latest released WWE Superstars:
* John Morrison
* Drake Maverick
* Tegan Nox
* Shane Thorne
* Jaxson Ryker
* Hit Row's "Top Dolla" AJ Francis, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott

WWE is such a sh*tty place to work SMH

Agreed, I'd never work for them if I was a wrestler, Vince is a soulless, heartless b*****d.

Taya Valkyrie is telling fans to boycott WWE because of all of the people being released, even though WWE wasn't losing money, just b******t, they sign great talent like Kross, Black, Andrade, but then creative has nothing for them for months, then they get released, at least AEW has good creative, plus the wrestlers have freedom to do what they'd like to do.

AH haaahaha Top dolla was talking all that mess about the Yung Bucks just to get axed.

HAHAHAHAHA, watch him say something like "I was kidding, yo Matt, Nick, can I get a job?", also apparently he had heat backstage on the main roster.

I stopped the year they started the whole shoving Reigns down our throats, I think 2016 when AJ Styles debuted, I watch the next 2 PPVs where they faced each other, then stopped, won't support them due to the Saudi Arabia deal. I then went to watching Ring of Honor, and NJPW, then when ALL IN happened, and not even a yr later Matt, Nick, & Cody announced AEW, I was all in with it, so I watch AEW & NJPW now.

I hope Gargano & O'Reilly jump to AEW, same with Roderick Strong. I'm hoping Dem Boyz, Mark & Jay Briscoe also go to AEW with what's happening with ROH, not like WWE is gonna sign these guys, why sign there, only to be sent to NXT, where you thrive, get called up, starts good to great, then creative has nothing, Vince ruins your character, then you get fired, just makes no sense, I'm so glad Jay Lethal went to AEW.

I'd also think Kevin Steen, & El Generico would be great in AEW, but IMPACT could scoop some guys or girls up, I know Chelsea Green said she may look into AEW now that ROH isn't gonna be what it was.

I can see AEW getting the same ratings as RAW & SD get in 5 yrs, I think AEW will be around a long long time, don't see it going out of business, the Khan's have the money, the fans love AEW, it's real wrestling, not a bunch of 20 minute promos to begin each show, they always begin the shows with a great opener, like MJF/Darby to kick off Full Gear, that was a banger.

Jade Cargill vs Red Velvet - Red was botching everywhere. Good on Jade to power through the botchfest becase Velvet was messing up left and right. She looked exhausted or something. Jade looks like a pro out there now.

Is WK a 2 night or 3 night event? I need to know, so I can clear my calendar to watch all nights, I always watch night 1, but miss night 2.

2 nights, night one is headlined by Shingo VS Okada and the winner of that match faces Ospreay in the main event of night 2.

Night 1&2 will be the 4th and 5th and now they are adding a night 3 on the 8th which will be NJPW VS Noah

Survivor Series wasn't that great IMO.

No it really wasn't. My wife and I were both sitting there at the end of it saying.. "Wow.. that's the main event match? There was nothing particular fun, cool, or exciting that happened there. That looked like a normal everyday episode fight."

I feel like a lot of the matches bordered on that too. The only PPV level match I saw was Becky vs. Charlotte.

It's also a running joke between my wife and I that every time they do a promo for someone, that's the next person to get cut, lol.

Hit Row, Keith Lee, Karion Kross, Eva Marie, Aleister Black, etc.

Finally something on Raw that was watchable.
