I did think that but then maybe Roddy's safe to keep Adam Cole happy. Who knows. Hard to follow WWE logic, mostly because there isn't any most of the time.

My point was if being Charlottes fella doesn’t keep you in a job, Marina being with Strong is hardly any security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do drugs, kids! I dare say religion has done more damage to the human race than meth too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 20, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2021 Worth noting that it seems that Drake has been mental and racist for at least a year and they've only just released him now as part of wider cuts. What a company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing his mental stuff while at the PC and wearing an NXT shirt might have been the difference maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 That's it, once it starts making the company look bad is when they decide to punish those who've done wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 20, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2021 Yeah, they'd have always been on shaky grounds for firing him for his opinions, no matter how toxic those opinions are. Ultimately, he's been fired for not following the rules - he's been breaking their health policy by refusing to wear a mask, he's been appearing in his staff shirt to rant about child trafficking conspiracies, and he's been complained about by at least ten people. Given that he'd been suspended, barred from the PC and CWC on at least one occasion, it's still surprising that it took them this long, but I expect they didn't want to give him the opportunity to plead wrongful dismissal or the material to go on the interview circuit talking about being "cancelled" for being a "conservative". Now that he's out of the company, I fully expect a steady stream of stories about him that go above and beyond what we already know for the next few months.

RedRooster Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Honestly, it's genuinely sad when somebody falls down the conspiracy rabbit hole. Someone I know who worked with the NHS quit because she started to believe the conspiracy theories, and is spouting them on social media, saying all NHS staff know covid is a scam and that they're too scared to speak out. She now has young kids, no job, and no source of income. I can't speak for whether or not she's "vulnerable", but certainly she had an extremely difficult upbringing. It's frustrating when you see people refusing to wear masks or denying that Covid even exists, but it's often desperately sad on a number of levels when you break it down and look at the human being spouting that nonsense. Sometimes they're just cunts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Tay Conti went there she’s improved massively, perhaps Borne could do the same but like I say, depends on whether or not she wants to stay in the industry or not.  Tay just put Borne over as a great worker and someone she wants to wrestle on Twitter so I’d say that’s a good shout. Skyler is dating Janella but also looks to have a decent side gig from Patreon/selling pics etc. Shes still young but there are so many opportunities between Dark/elevation I could see that too.

theringmaster Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 RE: Duke  Her UFC run was built off the back of an incredible fight on TUF. There was real buzz after that fight but it appeared to be a flash in the pan moment for her unfortuanly.  I've always thought she comes across real likeable but greatly benefited from being mates with Ronda ...as they ALL did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted May 20, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2021 Bear in mind Wuertz was an employee, not an "independent contractor", so they had to wait for an actual reason to fire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
