My guess is Pritchard. At the start of the interview he talks about how it was his idea to send him to NXT to “learn new moves and lose weight”. He sounded annoyed about having to deal with him.
>>
>>16812317
It honestly does suck that he went down to NXT and completely succeeded in reinventing himself and getting over. He gets back to the main roster and is still over, but it didn't reflect in the creative they gave him at all. He was still a jobber to them, like his amazing NXT run and his great crowd reactions didn't matter.

Firing those two was a mistake. Even if they're not on the main roster, just keep them in NXT. They need more men down there. Corbin even said that he'd be fine to retire in NXT since he liked it so much. They should've just let him.

Corbin I agree, Dijak was a rat that was talking to dirtsheets and kept trying to shoot angles over twitter with the top guys in the company
>>
>>16812362
Both had their contracts expire cause HHH didn't wanna use them. Dijak was a gossipping little bitch and Corbin was on a high salary that was way above his current status or his place on the card so it wasnt worth renewing him.
>>
>>16812410
I don't care if Dijak is embarrassing on twitter, the show was better when he was on it.
>>
>>16812410
Dijak only started doing that when his expiration date was drawing near and they weren’t negotiating with him. Misguided attempt to create a buzz for himself, I guess. Still rather have him around than Pete Dunn or Tyler Bate.
>>
>>16812442
Dijak failed several shit tests
If you're a needy entitled bitch when you're low on the card then it's just going to get worse and become a huge headache when he moves up
And I agree, I really like Dijak, but it is what it is

Why keep paying a guy main roster money to be in NXT? They could bring in an indy guy for a fraction of the cost who would be a better hand in the ring. This is why guys like him get cut. There's no return on investment.

I actually agree that letting him go was a mistake. He was in a weird spot like sheamus to me where you can kinda stick him in the mid card not attached to anything but still gets himself over. That being said since he was randomly giga pushed years ago maybe his contract was just too big.
>>
He said in the same interview that he makes six figures with a coffee company, saved well during his run and that his wife is loaded so he has the luxury of only taking shows he wants to do. Wouldn’t want to go to AEW as just “a former WWE guy”. Also said he wants to work in NJPW which I would be interested in seeing as long as it’s actually in Japan and not on Strong or some shit. Open to returning to WWE once he gets the “guy who gets other guys ready for the main events” stink off.

100% agree.
This is a guy who was told directly from his boss what was expected of him, and somehow took it personally. I want to see Dijak get a clue and return, but I can't complain that a guy with that mentality got cut.

He’s talking about a match with Priest in front of a dead crowd. They got the crowd into it through their work and Dijak took a chokeslam off the apron through a table. He gets to the back and Vince and his ball licking stooge Bruce dressed him down because they didn’t like how he grabbed Priest during a part of the match the TV audience didn’t see. I’d be pissed too if I busted my ass and that senile old fuck was fixated on something so stupid.

I really liked Corbin in NXT despite only watching the end of his Wolfdogs run
There just seems to be this weird miscommunication between the main roster and NXT where they keep calling people up without having any plans to even feature them on TV while they still would have a role in NXT
No reason why someone like Corbin or Dijak (even if he revealed himself as a geek) couldn't still be signed with a minimum contract just to put young people over and help the rookies, the NXT man's division is in dire shape because of call ups and firings like this and there's no hope in sight other than signing even more AEW rejects or having to rely on TNA to have decent challengers for Oba Femi

That's my guess too. Once you get a bigger spot you really have to maintain it otherwise later on the higher ups will just look at you and see someone with a paycheck much higher than their spot on the card.

Very true. Sometimes it works fine. They had plans for Bron. Melo is regularly featured, and while he's not a champion like he was in NXT, he's having good matches and on TV all the time. Lyra's doing really well for herself. But it did seem like when they brought Corbin back, it's like the writers didn't even watch him in NXT and didn't know what he'd been up to.
>>
>>16813867
It was not “working the crowd”. He quite literally threw a fit because he didn’t like how Dijak rolled Priest into the ring. I understand you’re just being a contrarian faggot at this point but stop licking Vince’s balls.

>>16818812
There's nothing contrarian about saying that if your boss expects you to work a certain way, that you should perhaps take that into consideration without taking it personally. It sounds like Vince wanted to iron-out details in his work, and going "well it's just the ad-break," or "well we did a table spot later" means that the lesson still hasn't set in.

This is the actual reason behind the layoffs. They were all guys on contracts bigger than their role on the card. Jinder was on a world champion-tier contract and was on NXT for a while then not used so much. Clearly booking still had plans for most if not all of these guys as Dijak was used heavily on NXT, Jinder was just in a segment with Rock, etc. It was the financial departments call and people like Hunter still have to play the game and choose their battles.

>>16812291
Back in the Gabe days Punk was referred to as the "HHH of the ROH Locker Room" im honestly not surprised at his current career trajectory at all.

He's probably in tight with TKO as well from UFC cuz hes such a goddamn charmer
>>
>>16818812
No one's licking Vince's balls, retard. Vince has given guys shit gimmicks and whatnot for years. The contention is the shitter mentality of acting like it's a vendetta from management.

You say "actual reason" like there aren't other factors. As you even pointed out, HHH has to pick his battles.
At any given point, there are few actual draws and significant merch movers in the company, but you need a roster. So truthfully, most of the roster is likely "overpaid." So when chaff needs to be cut, as seen by the guys running the books, you still have several other considerations. Because realistically, they could cut Bayley, just to pick on someone, and free up a shitton of money and likely have little-to-no impact on the overall product. But they don't just do that because management probably sees other value in her, whatever that may be: a loyal worker, a name who can be used to put over others, a great team-player backstage, etc.
So even if you had guys that were still being used on some level, they were still cut for other reasons. Yeah, Jinder may have been in a segment with the Rock, but what was his trajectory? Did they have plans for him? How bullish were they on those plans? Sometimes they may still want him, but it's just been too long and he needs to go away for a while.
