@DCGoldPants Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Interesting list of cuts. My guess is that the new 3MB is going to be Slater/Hornswaggle and Cena. The new Shield will still be Ambrose/Reigns/Cena. I think it would be cool if next monday they do have match of the Uso's W/Cena VS Rybaxl W/Cena. Raw should have never gone to 3 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 What saddens me about the cuts is that this basically means that these guys are done as professional wrestlers. A few of them like R-Truth may be able to find something in Japan. Maybe one goes to TNA at some point - if they ever hire anyone ever again. But for the rest of them, the dream is ROH and a part-time job or maybe a paycheck from Jeff Jarrett's NeverNever Promotion someday. There is simply no place to go and make a living for a wrestler now. It's Weekends in the Indies 4 Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNA was doing OK for a while, but they seem to be on life support, and not exactly in a good position to bring in new talent. ROH is a quality product, but I can't imagine that the paychecks are that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 And people get mad at people like CM Punk, Stone Cold, Rock, when they leave to go make money outside of wrestling. Or when they retire early because they did make enough money and they are still in "decent" shape health wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the terrible reality of the territories being eliminated Edited June 12, 2014 by spjunkies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Wrestling is in a weird place. The top guys can make big money longer than ever. Cena has been on WWE tv every week for over 12 years now. Hogan's big WWF run was 9 years in comparison. And there is no reason to believe that Cena is winding down. My guess is that he is about to get a 6 month long run with the belt because they have no other options right now. The bottom and mid guys can make pretty good money right away. But they may be done in under five years. In the territory days, it might take 5 years to get to the point where you could support yourself. And then you could bounce around for 20 years.

TexasSkinsFan Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I am watching this weeks Raw on youtube now, after reading about all of the cuts. I am not sure if I can post the full show link here so I won't but its interesting how most of these released workers were on that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I guess that with no 3MB, they have to Los Matadores now too. There's no other direction to take that team. Was R-Truth cut? That one would surprise me. He's not great but he's actually a better performer than a lot of guys. He looks better, talks better, is more entertaining in other ways, and is better in the ring than say, Shamus for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBK mentioned he might catch on in Japan. When I checked the WWE website, he wasn't listed in the cut list, but when I checked earlier today, JTG wasn't either, then later on, I went back and it was updated. I think R Truth is another guy that has a lot better talent and mic ability (not the best, but not the worst) that got buried for some reason. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong.

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Soooooo that awful legends reality show is making a big deal of Pat Patterson coming out When in reality it has been widely know forever and has been alluded to on air. It's really pathetic on WWEs part IMO. It's on tmz like it's real news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Like I said, Brodus Clay should have been a monster heel. The stuff they did with Kane and the Authority should have been done with him. Why do I think that? Dude can cut a promo. They should have unleashed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really pathetic on WWEs part IMO. It's on tmz like it's real news. Patterson has been openly out for a long time, I thought. It's been an open secret since the 80s. The WWF has dealt with at least two lawsuits with him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Apparently the episode was supposed to be the generic "everyone spills their deepest darkest secrets" and he made it seem like he's had to hide it.... Which is baloney WWE is trying to push it as he's some hero for finally coming out, which is dishonest bs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
