I'm kind of shocked people are so surprised by Dolph being released... he's not been used (or over) in ages. I can see him, Ali, Shelton and maybe Elias going to AEW though.

You have got to be one of the most miserable human beings on the planet. Like, for real. Your life must suck serious ass.

This isn't going to go over well with the "anything I don't think is funny can't be funny to anyone else either" crowd.

Thanks Vince…
Shelton Benjamin is the worst loss for me, personally. Horrible. Such a great talent that they completely wasted over the last few years, and even in the 2000’s when he was red hot.
This company is full of so many moronic, and stupid people in higher management, it’s unbelievable. Hopefully he and others sign with AEW or Ring of Honor, and shine there. Even Impact, I guess.

It wasn’t meant to be funny. It’s good that the company is cutting fat of useless talents that they don’t plan to do anything with… or anything more with. There’s still a lot of fat remaining they should probably trim. Pillman Jr. and Jade are gonna be taking up some TV time on Tuesday/Monday/Friday nights. Plus, I’m sure there’s will be another signing or 2 coming from the tryouts. Keep a couple handfuls for enhancement purposes, but the remainder haven’t seen TV in months. No need to keep them on the payroll.
Wrestling is an evolving business. New faces (for the most part), new characters, new feuds. 90% of these releases were people they’ve shown over the past 9-12 months that they aren’t included in the plans going forward. 85% got the response of “who?”

Same way I don't understand the logic in virtue signaling for athletes/celebrities as if they're going to sign up on WFIGS and thank yall for your service in defending them/their work.

You are sitting here chanting "MORE MORE MORE", either for attention, or because you want to be toxic. You just suck, dude.

Bummed we didn’t get a grizzled NXT champ Dolph elite. Have to settle for the Summerslam elite I guess.

Literally just explained my thought process on why I’m happy the company is trimming the fat in catering.
Not for attention, not to be “toxic”. Just my honest thoughts and opinion. If you don’t like it, you’re more than welcome to block me on here. Then you won’t see my posts anymore. You’re welcome.

Sucks for these guys but none of them are being used, the way the wrestling landscape is now im sure they will all do just fine, and some of them will succeed beyond what WWE thought they were capable of.
Ziggler will always be my "what if" guy, what if he wasn't happy just cashing a cheque, he could have gone away like Cody and Drew returned more seasoned and a bigger name. I think it was Tyler Breeze recently said Dolph told him "they already have their guys, were not their guys" that's the most depressing thing I think I've ever heard.

That is how Dolph wore thin with me, to the point where I don't feel bad for him being the cog in WWE's machine. People can sit back and collect that paycheck all they want, but they can't also sell the sob story of being a mistreated talent or some diamond in the rough, just lacking a chance to prove themselves. Ziggs was on that train back in 2012, and a decade later he was STILL their little midcard boy. He didn't trust his talent enough or he never actually cared to do anything about his position, which doesn't make him that much of an intriguing "What if" story to me. For me invest in someone, they can't lie to the fans or lie to themselves.

Most of these were probably overdue but ill always look at Dolph and think they wasted unbeliveable talent/potential with him. 2013/2014 he was super over and he just kept getting pushed further and further down.
Should have been main eventing PPVs for the last decade.
