I feel bad for Tucker considering all the crap on social media he put up with after they broke him up from Otis. Idiots were sending him crap that he’s a certain “future endeavors” candidate and he pushed back saying he’s still a human being trying to provide for his family (which is 100% true). Just sucks everyone knew (and maybe Tucker himself) that his days were numbered once he was separated from Otis.
I’m not a Tucker fan but seems like he got a raw deal from both the WWE and dumb fans on the internet.

Part of me worries for Jeff Hardy. I don’t THINK they would as he’s a good merch mover and favorite of fans, and they just lost their dad too... but then again I doubt they really care about that. Fingers crossed he isn’t on the chopping block. Jeff Hardy actually has value. So I doubt he gets cut. |

I can’t wait to see Samoa Joe turn up in AEW or something and geeks come out saying AEW’s picking up WWE leftovers again as if Joe isn’t amazing and didn’t make his name in TNA

I honestly forgot Mojo was still apart of the roster. Hope everybody gets a shot somewhere else if they want it. I always thought Peyton could be a star but never worked out,her and Joe are the ones I'm most excited for but think Kalisto could be the one to surprise a lot of people.

Bold choice to have Cody Rhodes in your handle name in a thread about speculation joyously about people being fired. I actually don’t believe the Wwe will be letting any group of people go until after then pandemic and the feedback they received when they did their after mania purge last year. Oh... |

Hey man, I can admit I’m wrong. It just really felt like there were a lot of people they were done with but it felt like they weren’t cutting them and I thought it was how angry people were last year. |

BTW with his departure can we take a moment to appreciate how awesome Samoa Joe's entrance was?
it will be deeply missed

What I think disturbs me most about all this is WWE is now treating this like some sort of event in itself. Like, they know who’s being cut, release the damn names and be done. Instead they keep popping out names 1 at a time like it’s a reveal show.

Sadly I can see Vince making the entire roster sit in a locker room and wait to hear if their name is called as a future endeavor ala the draft. |

It sucks to see anyone lose their job but we go through this every year. The one thing I always notice after it happens is we're flooded with the "So & so was misused and can/could be a much bigger star outside of WWE"....but rarely, if ever they are.
WWE isnt doing anything any different than any other money making business does. In the work force they tend to cycle out older people as they retire, step down or get moved into other positions while replacing them with younger people that they can keep for 30+ years. While age isnt as big of a factor in situations like this simply put *if* you were going to have 2 roster spots and your choices were Rhea & Biance (for example) or Billie & Peyton, you're obviously going to take the former because they've shown more than the latter has.
Personally the only 2 real losses in this group were Joe & Bo. Hearing that health could be an issue with Joe & they wanted him to stay on as a commentator, I understand letting him walk to be happy. I dont see a reason Bo was never repackaged to be with Bray/Fiend. Somehow you just gotta put him in the Funhouse. Even if he's that guy that takes the L's and beating so you save the Bray/Fiend character from doing it.

April 15th is now Future Endeavor Day in WWE. |

What makes people think Joe is going to wrestle elsewhere? If Joe is still able to compete, why has he been sitting at the announcer's desk for however many months?

Maybe Joe's doctors cleared him but WWE's wouldn't. The same thing happened to Bryan. They didn't clear him until he said he was going to leave after his contract was up. |

Samoa Joe isn't in charge, Vince is. Joe had some concussion issues, that's why he's on commentary. He may have been ready to go but Vince didn't want to risk it. Maybe Vince didn't want to "invest" in a guy he thought was old, out of shape, and concussion prone. |

Green will likely go and join her best friend in AEW. She had potential, but with them acquiring Taya - who is levels better, both in-ring and on the mic, Green is really not needed now.

My post was in response to those who expect Joe to go and start putting on classics with Omega, et al. |

Joe was the only one that really blew my mind. The iconics being here sucked but I kinda saw it coming since they’ve been in limbo for a year.

Getting rid of Joe has to be one of the dumbest / most confusing decisions I’ve seen in a long time. You think it was almost mutual? Like they didn’t wanna risk putting him back in the ring and he didn’t wanna retire? Which is odd considering just Monday they said he’d be moving back to the talent roster. |
