makes sense never learned to cut a promo after what six years
>>
>>21453451
Yep, we'll take them.
>>
What a weird fucking run they had tho
Like why keep them under contract for so long when they're doing nothing at all, ever
>>
>>21453454
Did they even get a chance? They fucked up in a match and priest seethed
>>
>all because of one kickout against Damien Pissbreak
>>
>>21453451
I think they injured Rey Mysterio one time and management soured on them ever since
>>
>>21453451
Weren't they super botchy or something? I don't think I've ever seen them wrestle
>>
>>21453458
To punish them for hurting Priest during his Championship push, and Rey before his WM match.
>>
>>21453451
Is WWE still gonna have people put out those bullshit reports about how they're planning to try to care about the tag divisions?
>>
>>21453451
They're gonna fucking kill it in Japan/AEW
>>
I saw Lince Dorado was in the alumni section, too. I thought he was in AAA? Or am I confusing him with someone else?
>>
>>21453451
WWE just letting their best guys go for whatever reason. Look forward to seeing them wrestle Doyle & Davis in 90 days
>>
>>21453451
Yet another Paul fumble
>>
>>21453474
best guys at sitting in catering or what?
>>
>>21453492
Says a lot about the company when shitters like truth and the Vikings keep getting tv time
>>
EFC
>>
>>21453496
The vikings are on AAA
Truth is a treasure
The creeds have no personality other than they wrestle good just like 70%of the AEW roster
>>
>>21453451
This is a real fumble but I assume they just let their contracts expire.
>>
>>21453472
He's actually a coach in NXT mostly, I don't think they ever changed his bio after he came back
>>
These niggas need to get over to Japan, they'll have jobs for life there.
>>
>>21453498
Sounds like Johnny Gargano and Sami Zayn
>>
>>21453472
>Lince Dorado
Fuck that fake ass lucha bitch. I guess he's still alive because Izzy made a TikTok summarizing the year and she said Lince is still harassing her.
>>
Julius could be a dimes machine on OnlyFans
>>
>>21453451
>knockoff American Alpha
Still can't believe Vince split them up. Didn't they say the black one was Kurt Angle's illegitimate kid once?
>>
>>21453451
we don't want them
we DO want fraxiom
chop chop pauletty
>>
>>21453509
Sami Zayn is the best current champion in any company
>>
>>21453451
How did Damian Priest of all people have enough power to Mr Kennedy these guys?
>>
>>21453519
No wonder no one cares about wrestling
>>
https://youtu.be/t1RSaQ_Irn4?si=ulk3NZuxlbcT8HUz

The weird looking one had some personality like an 80s movie bully.
>>
>>21453492
They're sat in catering despite being incredible wrestlers
same thing with ilya, motor city machine guns, ciampa, andrade, etc. WWE hasn't got a clue.
>>
>>21453529
They injured Rey Mysterio HOURS before WM. That was the nail in the coffin, not Priest.
>>
>>21453545
rey outright said that julius didn't injure him though some speculate that he was lying to cover for him
>>
>>21453515
yup chose to push him over Gable cause he was small
>>
>>21453549
Luchadors are too humble to outright pin the blame to anyone, as we usually do it as mexicans.
I highly DOUBT tho that would be the case with WWE since Rey is literally an active HoF who still sells merch.

>>
>>21453514
This but unironically
>>
>>21453529
WWE is so fucking weird, like they obviously value good ring work even if their criteria are not smark ones
They always book good workers that get good crowd reactions, Ilja, Gable, Rey Phenix, Dragon Lee, all have been good hands on repeated shows, getting crowds hit, then their push always fizzles until they'ee not on tv for 8 months and some dirtsheet leaks that their contract expires and that's that
I guess they figure they'll always have a ready supply of good workers ready to work for peanuts
>>
>>21453574
I don't blame them, they're doing nothing
Must be so fucking boring to be a wrestler, stay in ring shape, and never fucking wrestle
>>
>>21453574
>17:51
There it is
>>
>>21453579
Mid midcard acts are a dime a dozen. They reward the people like Gable and Penta who actually get over and have top tier matches. Please tell me someone who got released that could be top tier star. Even if dragonuv is decent, he still can't talk and looks like a baby. Not worth a heavy investment.
>>
>>21453514
What's his butthole game like
>>
>>21453451
Who?
>>
They're already fantasy booking these guys in AEW but to me they seem really bland. Tony said he's not hiring you unless you prove yourself in the indies
>>
I'm not mad about it. WWE put them on the permanent craplist. They had no chance to do anything and ultimately got to do nothing after injuring Priest. They will literally be better off anywhere else.

I don't know how you squander Julius Creed. He checked every box except promos.
>>
No one goes back to NXT and survives. Waller is getting released too
>>
>>21453519
Ratings say otherwise. Vanilla midgets sucks
>>
>>21453498
Truth fucking sucks, he's been doing the same 'hehe dumb negro' schtick for what, 11 years now?
>>
>>21453529
with the exception of Andrade all those guys are boring no personality midgets
>>
Too bad as they are a riot. They can shine in the indys or tna.
>>
Tony, Tag continental classic, now.
>>
>>21453634
>tna
Anon a tag team hasn't shined in TNA since The North. The division is deader than WWE's
>>
>>21453639
What, you don't like the legendary tag team of Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards?
>>
>>21453574
The wording on that is intentionally misleading. I finally gotta ask, who the fuck is SRS? Why the biased journalism? He work for Meltzer?
>>
>>21453529
>WWE hasn't got a clue.
nah that's you, all of those are shitters that wrestled to crickets and deserved the firing they got.
>>
>>21453467
yes. but marks will overlook this

>>21453467
they're shitters and others wrestlers are scared to death of them because they go 100 mph

How is that mutual?

>>21453451
So begins the expulsion of all the 2.0 era wrestlers
Paul's fucking salivating at the prospect of getting rid of the rest next

HHH really did fumble these guys badly

Okay, retard.
>>
>>21453708
Nothing to fumble with two NXTroons that can't work
>>
>>21453693
I knew Haitch hated what Vince did to NXT but I didn't think it extended to the wrestlers too
>>
>>21453693
But Oba is still getting a monster push, unless he doesn't count

Goes without saying. There are no standards of who you wouldn't take after all

>>21453733
Everyone seems to except for someone in a position of power on the main roster. Paul? Bruce?

>>21453733
Steph fucked Waller too?!
She doesn't fuck anyone she doesn't want to push irl. Waller is safe.

Steph fucked Randy so Vince turned him into a fucking clown shoe. Tried to end his in ring career until he fled to WCW.

Angle fucked Stephanie too so Vince excommunicated him from WWE for 2 decades.
>>
>>21453451
Anyone remember when they beat Alpha Academy in their first match on the main roster and everyone said it was stupid because they just would be let go in a year or so like every other forced NXT call-up before them?
No? Okay.

>>21453451
lol they got canned before Ivy NIle

FUMBLE OF THE CENTURY

>>21453556
And then Jason Jordan got a career killer injury

>>21453793
just like Stink Jr.

After Chad turned face there was literally no point to this guys
>>
>>21453611
Sadly they are bland.
>>
>>21453615
This.
Julius has the potential to be a superstar, it was Brutus who was a charisma void.
>>
>>21453715
I mean look at it from Paul's perspective
>Use your billionaire father-in-law's money to fund a superindy vanity project
>Do it to court clout from Twitter marks who famously hate you and get redeemed in their eyes because the clout is worth it.
>You get a few homegrowns because you know your FIL wants an ROI on this project
>Fly under FIL's radar for a few years and get star ratings from an old jew
>Lose it all because you lost a TV ratings war against an upstart promotion because you dedicated your product to a niche instead of bankable draws to beat the upstart
>Compacting matters is the wrestlers you have don't wanna graduate because they know they aren't to your FIL's vision of what a professional wrestler should look like
>Get replaced, the roster is now ex-NCAA athletes that are more to your FIL's standards and liking
You wouldn't look at these kids and not resent them majorly?
>>
>>21453594
He’s no Theory or Kyle Fletcher
>>
>>21453467
i think they are actually really good in the ring. they look strong and effective.
>>
>>21453818
It's not their fault his indie darlings weren't good enough for TV and wanted to stay forever in developmental.
>>
>>21453451
The Sneed Brothers
>>
>>21453818
You wrote all that headcanon to defend two charisma vacuums that wrestled to crickets and injured people. Should've been let go years ago
>>
Vince would have given the tall one a push. Oh well they kinda sucked
>>
>>21453474
>>21453491
>>21453454
>>21453451
>>21453459
I liked the sneeds, but they couldn't get any heat or crowd reaction without Gable. Like even fucking Ivy was better at getting a crowd reaction (and even then she only ever got a reaction if she was with Chad or was attacking some babyface that people actually liked like Maxxine or Dakota that one time). They kept wrestling the viking homos and the mexicans in dead silence
>>
>>21453832
No but it's no surprise everyone from the time he got booted from developmental is going to get booted from WWE in the next two years, they're the last traces of Vince in WWE, besides R-Truth or something
>>21453721
Oba is a special case because he's a demand from the corporate bosses, Paul would fire him yesterday if he could.
>>
>>21453496
>>21453498
the fat vikings must be making the main roster minimum or something. they're pretty much only employed because they work as trainers with the NXT guys and job on AAA. Like the 2 fat fucks or at least one of them trained oba
>>
>>21453519
sami zayne is a muslim terrorist and I change the channel every time I hear his gay ass song
>>
>>21453818
but hhh was a big wrestler with an impressive physique. why wouldn't he like big guys like julius and brutus?
>>
>>21453498
you don't have to defend everything WWE does, literally there is something wrong with your brain at this point. Andrade would have a license to print money if WWE capitalized on his How you Know gimmick, and all the trimmings, the girl at ring side, the pants gimmick is pure WWE. I can tell you don't watch AEW or maybe you just have a dog in the fight. AEW curate talent and let them either succeed or fail. Most of WWE's roster is filled with ex AEW guys that perfected their gimmick in an AEW ring. Time to just admit it. And I watch WWE and have for 20 odd years, AEW is a net gain and positive for wrestling
>>
>>21453451
Not good enough for NJPW
Dangerous enough for AJPW
>>
>>21453857
Brutus wasn't ripped. Julius needed to bulk a bit more.
>>
>>21453879
Double jannettys
Let's just be honest
>>
>>21453857
He's also notorious for being A. An egomaniac and B. Insanely insecure, he's always been ludicrously jealous of people more over than him and have the potential to be, like John Cena, The Rock, Steve Austin, RVD, Booker T, ect, and the shit he pulled on Rene Dupree and Test in 2003 when he was booking RAW.
Of course he looks at big guys now and feels threatened by them because that's a body he can't have anymore, but he doesn't have to worry about smaller guys who don't hit the gym
Indie guys fit that bill usually
>>
Brutus got fired for telling Bayley has a big booty on his yt channel
>>
>>21453451
Damien Priest is the biggest most dimeless bitch I've ever seen. Imagine losing your push and your job because this prissy Puerto Rican zest merchant complained about an ouchie.
>>
>>21453839
Motherfucker I'm not defending them, I'm explaining why Paul would resent them and used things that actually happened to sum it up
>>
>>21453467
No they're not, they screwed up once or twice which happens. They're not like Seth who's injured multiple people with his sloppy bullshit or Rey who killed a guy with a shoot 619.
>>
>>21453451
Good. The Brutus Ball is the dumbest move ever and there's no way in hell it's safe.
>>
Tony won't take them because Tony literally said he'll only ever sign indie wrestlers from now on, albeit with exceptions
>>
>>21453906
You're a plant. I'm convinced.
>>
>>21453715
Have you seen how poorly most of the 2.0 and W&G wrestlers have been booked when they're called up? Fraxiom was the best tag team on the planet two years ago and look what they've done since coming up to the main roster. Or all the start-stop pushes Carmelo Hayes gets even though he gets over when they start pushing him. Vaquer's booking has been fucking weird with all the fake injuries they give her whenever she loses a title. Hell it's only in the last few months that they started seriously doing anything with Dragon Lee. All the shit with Waller. Page being online interview segment fodder for months until they just randomly gave him the IC belt this week. On and fucking on. Oba and Je'von are like the only ones who haven't been booked like shit.

>>21453906

I think the Creeds could do well on some tours of Japan, not even NJPW, they probably be good for All Japan and NOAH. I don’t see them going to AEW right away.
>>
>>21453906
When did Tony say this?
Citation pls
>>
Oh god are we about to see another round of releases?
>>
>>21453902
They only had an issue with it one time in a freak way, never in all the other times they've done it. Seth injured both Finn and Sting with the buckle bomb which basically permanently killed Finn's chances of ever being anything more than a midcarder and caused Sting to temporarily retire. He never got punished for it though because Pauletty is gay for him.

You'd think with Shawn booking things there now that Hunter would stop being a vindictive cunt
The only way I'm convinced that he's okay with it is that HBK is on his side because brothers in arms, or they're down low gay lovers
>>
>>21453917
Je'von was an indie guy before WWE
Oba even in college interviews made it clear his goal was always becoming a pro wrestler at some point, both explicitly stated WWE was a career goal
>>
>>21453733
He will return to job to roman at royal rumble
>>
>>21453917
I'd say just bring back B&G if that's what he wants so bad but there's no PWG or ROH to poach from anymore and all the guys from there are either in AEW or retiring soon.
>>
>>21453451
Their contracts were up and they decided not to renew. It wasn't a straight up TKO paycut BS. They are still young enough to become stars elsewhere.
>>
>>21453451
That explains Hank and Tank beating them in the Dusty Classic.
They should've been multi-time tag team champions in WWE, a damn shame. I would like to see them in the indies and Japan for an year or two then sign major promotion contracts.
>>
>>21453983
I'm glad we can all acknowledge that what Tony calls ROH is just AEW Dark & Elevation skinwalking as ROH
>>
>>21453451
Damn, I really thought that NXT run was gonna be the start of them getting used again. They gave them a new entrance and everything.

>>21453922

In today's indie scene it's almost unheard of

Just so guys know, here’s everyone from NXT 2.0 (ended on Sept 13, 2022) who’s still in developmental:

>Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo
>Hank Walker
>Myles Borne
>Tony D’Angelo
>Arianna Grace
>Thea Hail
>Nikkia Lyons
>Sloane Jacobs

People from Black & Gold (Ended Sept. 14, 2021) who are still there:

>Charlie Dempsey (He got his start on NXT UK though and didn’t appear in NXT proper till the 2.0 era)
>Josh Briggs
>Noam Dar (Longest time in developmental, since 2016)
>Brooks Jensen (Now on Evolve)

And people who have been to the main roster but got sent back down to NXT:

>Enzo Amore
>Grayson Waller
>Shawn Spears (fka Tye Dillinger)
>Nattie (Natalya)
>Lince Dorado
>Timothy Thatcher
>>
>>21454113
Nikkita Lyons was also demoted to Evolve
>>
>>21453574
Getting ready to walk the kings road!
>>
>>21453890
What push. they sucked
>>
>>21454128
(Both NXT and Evolve are developmental)

>>21454113
>Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo
>Hank Walker
>Myles Borne
>Tony D’Angelo
>Arianna Grace
>Thea Hail

These are all shitters that should be released.

Isn't Evolve like the developmental of developmental?

>>21454113
>Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo
Cuck
>Hank Walker
He's the fat one of his tag team right?
>Myles Borne
He's gonna get a pity call up and push because deaf, IIRC he's not banging Setphie anymore
>Tony D’Angelo
Joe Nipples
>Arianna Grace
Either Santino gets her a job in TNA when WWE inevitably fires her, or AEW if her ex-boyfriend goes there first
>Thea Hail
Bald
>Nikkia Lyons
Sexy
>Sloane Jacobs
She's gonna get cut soon, calling it
>>
>>21454113
Noam Dar case is unique: he was first a participant in the 2016 CWC, then he was supposed to be a big deal in the new 205 Live show, then he was on NXT UK until its closure in 2022 and then he is on NXT until today.
>>
>>21453451
HOW DO YOU FUMBLE
JULIUS CREED?!
>>
>>21454216
As athletic as Julius is, he has the most generic look that I’ve ever seen in a wrestler on WWE television. I would have said all of wrestling, but he looks better than Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta, which isn’t saying much.
>>
>>21453451
Goodbye to Mister "Bayley booty is huge'' and Julius
>>
>>21454216
>How do you fumble [NXTroon CAW with zero personality that isn't over in the slightest]

A true mystery
>>
>>21453931
I think the Quarterly earnings call is today, so keep an eye out next week, cause they usually do them after that.
>>
>>21454158
Evolve is for the ID Program, that thing where they pick wrestlers off the indies for developmental deals, I'd almost guarantee that it's a HHH thing, because he's the one who wants to scout from the indies
>>
>>21453451
I hope the system didn't break them like it has so many others. If they're still interested in continuing they'll kill it in Japan. Japan loves brother tag teams and their style is built for it.
>>
>>21453451
Honestly their foreign heel spot in Noches Grandes was the most reaction they ever got. Good for them. Getting giga reaction at a main event is more than 99.5% of wrestlers ever achive, good note they got that before leaving.
>>
>>21453514
NEED to see the Julius Jax tag team. No women allowed ;)
>>
>>21453629
Truth has tenure. They’re not in any rush to release him.
>>
>>21454346
Not again anyway
They fired him already and got shat on
>>
>>21454327
Creeds vs. the Saitos would be some good shit.
>>
>>21453693
But Tatum finally got called up to the main roster just recently
I don't see Haitch just getting rid of a bunch of people just because they were Vince hires, especially not when Randy Orton is still on TV
>>
>>21453692
they didn't want to re-sign for less money
>>
>>21453451
Top Right always gave off Kurrgan at home vibes, bottom left looks like he makes shitty country pop songs. Ngmi.
>>
>>21454150
Seriously. Who the fuck in charge down there is important enough to keep Bull Buchanan's kid (Brooks) around this long? He's gotta be a teacher's pet or something even if he's never sniffing the main roster.
Briggs is even more of a headscratcher because there's atleast some possible minor red flags there that makes him easy to cut bait. That dude was a healthy scratch for like the entire year.
>>
>>21454181
Myles is still with Stephanie.
>>
>>21455062
this is brooks commenting on himself but apparently he's in the PC like 14 hours a day every day
he seems very dedicated and they probably appreciate his work ethic enough to keep him on a cheapo NXT contract
>>
>>21455565
also briggs is 1000000% cut in the next mass firing wave
>>
>>21455575
Why's that?
>>
>>21455627
>mid 30s in developmental
>hasn't been on tv in months

>>21455670
>go away heat from internet smarks
NTA but who doesn't?
E-Smarks always have hateboners for everyone in WWE
>>
>>21453866
AEW sucks and has killed the indie scene, please off yourself from clogging up /pw/ with your schizo rants.
>>
they basically spent their entire main roster run doing nothing, i dont blame them for leaving to actually get booked even if it was kinda their fault
>>
>>21455807
That's actually a fake Smark talking point. The indies have been elevated after COVID hurt them. TNA is no longer indie level and indies like the NWA and MLW actually get media deals outside of YouTube.

wouldn't be surprised if hachiman invites the creed brothers in ajpw
>>
>>21455942
Does that roster not have any shame at this point?
>>
>>21455670
>go away heat from internet smarks and the marks in the live audience alike
The PC crowd shouldn't count because it's all a bunch of geeks and black dudes who only go there to cheer for black guys and whatever women they find hot. It was always funny watching Briggs get "go away heat" and then he'd actually have a match and would get begrudging "this is awesome" chants from those same faggots when he inevitably had a good match.
>>
>>21455893
TNA is basically NXT 2
>>
>>21453451
All that time in NXT and on the main roster and they couldn't cut a promo. Maybe they can go to Japan and become the next Steiner bros and sawdust some jap midgets.
>>
>>21455942
>wrestler leaves wwe
>on cue, some random from aew posts a black and white (why is it always fucking black and white?)
It's like clockwork, it's embarrassing how quickly they out themselves as marks. Just let the boss handle that shit you dork.
>>
These niggas had zero motion and had negative charisma despite their size and athleticism.
Creeds going to AEW would result in the worst tag matches of all time
>Big dimeless botch machines Creeds having to sell the offense from vanilla midgets like the bucks
>Both sets of teams just doing moves with no regard for match psychology or safety in a zero heat match
>>
There's also the thing of if they go to AEW they're going to have to job to the Young Bucks, because the Bucks need to have a win over every other team
>>
Well, I saw this a mile away, these guys are talentless bums.
>>
>>21453516
