Paid Members Gus Mears Posted July 7, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 7, 2017 I would hazard a guess that it's because he's been a total cunt again in some manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted July 7, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 7, 2017 Big surprise. They only signed his girlfriend to a full time NXT deal about a week and a half ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted July 7, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 7, 2017 What on earth? I thought that recent run with Neville was really decent, in fact the only thing I've given a shit about in regards regarding that belt & division. As Gus said, I wonder if he's been a twat.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 7, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 7, 2017 That's a damn shame, although I did worry what he'd up doing after they clearly weren't going to have him beat Neville for the title. That division is a dead-end for everyone involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted July 7, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 7, 2017 Didn't he mention in a recent interview that he was taking some time off. He's probably asked for his release or wasn't passing a medical any time soon   edit: http://411mania.com/wrestling/austin-aries-confirms-hes-taking-time-off/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I reckon he came in thinking he would end up with a Spot on the main roster and not 205 Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That division is a dead-end for everyone involved. As the only person who's watched all the episodes of 205 Live, it looked like they were going to run a little program with Jack Gallagher presumably culminating in a Aries heel turn which would've been fun Sad news though, either he's not happy with his position or yeah he's been a knob as it would be pretty baffling for them to just release him out of the blue. If it's the former, then they really need to reconsider how they're pushing the cruiserweight division before more talent does the same. A C-show of their own is fine but they should do away with the purple ropes and silly branding and just have them integrated like Rey Mysterio & co. were  Honestly, I enjoy Aries as a wrestler but it's just occured to me it's probably a bigger shame we won't hear him on commentary again. On his brief spell he was the best colour comm. I've heard in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philjax Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Maybe you could tell me what's happened the last 5 episodes since I stopped watching then? A whole lot of nothing from what I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole lot of nothing from what I can tell. Kendrick feuding with Gallagher is decent and Drew Gulak's no fly zone gimmick has been wonderful. Here he is getting suckered into attempting a top rope manoeuvre. Apart from that, they're trying to turn TJP back face but no one really cares, Dar is STILL pissing about with Cedric Alexander, Titus is doing Tozawa's talking for him which I don't mind as Titus has been good value  The reports seem to suggest that Aries wasn't happy being pigeonholed as a cruiserweight wrestler, which he's always always said in fairness, there's probably footage of him saying that very thing on the Network, so disappointing it's come to this. I'm sure he'll do absolutely fine on the indies though, on the positive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 7, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 7, 2017 He wont be on the dole for long. His job seekers advisor wont put up with his lip. He'll be sanctioned within a fortnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love-Wilcox Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Bummer, he's been one of the best things on 205 lately and has been quality his entire WWE run. Such a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2017 Possibly he also thinks that maybe TNA/JeffW's has now become an option for him with the recent takeover and change in management/direction. He was World Champion there before, so he knows there's probably less chance of him being pigeonholed as a cruiser, if he does have that concern.
