I can't imagine Drew AND Jinder were really making sigifigant salaries when you consider the size of the WWE, seems silly to get rid of a couple people that were actually being used regularly. You need some dumb jobbers and they were good in the role.

Honestly though I've considered not renewing my subscription since the product has gone downhill for me in quality, so I guess that's not much of a surprise it hasn't been as successful at this point.

I guess what I'm trying to say is Vince/Dunn have got to go.

At this point I plan on letting it expire for a month and trying UFC Fight Pass since they don't require a long term commitment. There's also no question I'd give it up before my slightly more expensive Observer sub.

Heath Slater should be fine. Even before 3MB, he was being used a lot. During the countdown to Raw 1000, he was the guy that worked with the legends that probably hadn't seriously wrestled in over two decades.

You can turn auto-renewal off whenever you want. I did it Day 1, and, at best, am going to leave it lapsed for a couple of weeks when it runs out at the beginning of October. (I signed up the Friday before Mania.)

So... has Zack been fired yet?

I want him to be fired cause no offense to him WWE hates his rear end. I want to see him join up with Cabana on the Indies.

Hawkins, Compton, LG, Cabana, Ryder, Macintire... they could form an indie stable of guys who used to be on Smackdown! :suicide:

Maybe now that Jinder and Drew are gone, 3MB can go through a musical resurgence as Heathwig and the Angry Inch.

Ryder, Truth, Gabriel, Slater, Maddox, and Otunga are the only ones I can think of who might be next. I don't think they'll ditch Tyson Kidd and I think Ziggler's probably safe too.

Nobody will complain about Ryder, Truth hasn't been relevant since he dropped his conspiracy heel gimmick, Gabriel is talented but they have nothing for him, Slater just lost all of his stable so I wouldn't be shocked, they just got rid of Maddox on TV, and Otunga hasn't been seen for a long time aside from that Big Show lawsuit thing.

I think most of the Divas are safe now because of Total Divas, but they'll probably knock off a handful of NXT jobbers too.

For people keeping track, as of this moment the tag division now consists of:

Usos
Wyatts
Rybaxel
Matadores

Goldust & Whoever they're building him to with Cody
Truth & Woods
Ambrose & Reigns

Yeah I know, but they're still teams. This is usually around the time when a makeshift team of two top singles guys or a stable gets the belts and then just sits on them forever.

Slater comes out next week singing his own theme song in the saddest voice you'll ever hear. Gets in the ring to air guitar and and just does a circle motion without shaking his hips. Lays down so his opponent can pin him. After his opponent leaves he lays there singing his theme again.

Edit: Alternatively WWE will release a new shirt as a jab to JTG.

If this results in Barret following Heath around trying to depress him only to find he's already super sad about losing his friends, I'll say it's worth it.

Then Barret just stands there kinda awkwardly trying to smirk before his exit music hits and he shuffles away quickly.

I bet I am like most people, they OD'd on it for a few weeks and now only turn it on for 'special events.' I will probably cancel after the 6 months and I bet a ton of other people are too. I mostly subscribed because I love the idea of it, but if I lost the network tomorrow I'd survive. I'll probably buy it again next year for the Royal Rumble -> Wrestlemania run.

Can you ever go month to month or will it always be 6 months?


I am really surprised they broke up 3MB. They were part of the best match 2 PPVs ago (not the main focus, but still) and the show has always needed a few doofuses to get their butts whipped, which 3MB did an awesome job at.

Chikara, pretty much. They had tag belts almost six years before crowning their first heavyweight champion. They also do a three-day trios tournament every year (except last year) that's always a good time with one of them just announced.

I'd like to see Heath Slater reform 3MB with R-Truth and Xavier Woods, refocusing the music on a funk/rap trajectory to appeal to a new "urban demographic".
