At least the indie scene is somehow able to actually provide a good living now, so Emma and the rest can probably slide in to something better than the undying husk of TNA.

We've been overdue for a purge anyway, they have so many people who they just don't put on T.V. anymore or put them on constantly losing and treading water.

I'm actually surprised that Titus isn't out too. R-Truth is another one that wouldn't surprise me to see them fire, but I guess they want to keep him on tap for the occasional random match or goofy backstage segment.

Titus is a pr powerhouse and good on the stick. Uhaa Nation might get the boot. I hope so, he couldn't be getting too much more than what he'd be getting on the indies at this point, and maybe he'll get the mythic WWE Alumni boost to his booking price.

Y'know what, Curt Hawkins was brought back to be a jobber, he probably knew that and he took it and kinda did something fun with it. Curt Hawkins is Good.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I have fond memories of Summer being the only good part about the women's tag match at Mania 32. She spent the entire thing on the apron shrieking and cowering whenever anyone came after her, then when they turned around she'd kick them and laugh

I would like Rollins and Owens to form a new alliance called the Rollins/Owens Destruction District, and be kind of like Owens/Jericho except they're the Raw and Smackdown champs, and get to ignore the brand split like they're Hall & Nash or what have you. And they will do flippy indie movies that I enjoyed in ROH days of yore. And the booking will be Heyman level clever and stuff.

I've heard Rhyno and Heath might be added to the list before the day's over, and just wanted to say I'll be sad if 3MB is separated again just as one member is WWE champ and another is NXT champ

People do get spared in situations like this. A release only happens when it gets announced.

I mean that's obvious. Like with Punk, if he wants to be on the indies they know he'll be valuable, and holding him till a random date in the far future (or just until it's set to end naturally) will decrease that value in theory

I could totally see them not releasing him just to gently caress him and other promotions over. For some reason the situation reminds me of when Daniel Bryan was released for like, a month, and everyone laughed at them for potentially letting go of such a huge loving star

The male writers finally got revenge on Emma for ruining their "Hot woman is hot" angle with Emmalina which would have been the storyline of 2017. Now they're going to get revenge on Rusev, Lana, Ziggler, and Summer Rae for ruining 2015's best story, the love quadrangle.
