It's their fault for getting over when they weren't supposed to (which is the DUMBEST way this company could view things).

Seriously, it reminds me in a bizarre way of that old WCW show where they were having a hardcore match hitting each other with "metal plates" and the commentator (Schiavone) pipes in with,"Oh by the way those don't hurt!"

Cornette had the best retort: he was talking about wrestlers that get released when creative has nothing for them, and he’s like “shouldn’t the creative person get fired instead of the wrestler, since this so called creative person can’t do their job?”

I mean, I remember the "this wasn't on the run sheet" and "HE'S SHOOTING" stuff. But never something that exposed the business this badly.

Have a good match and then be part of an angle that is probably setting up a multiman US Title Ladder match for mania?

They’re not that good really. And they’re too small to do the Road Warrior gimmick on the main roster.
