Great performer but only got to see glimpses of it for whatever reason. Highlights for me were The Wyatt Family vs The Shield feud, tag title pursuit vs The Usos & his ladder match with Dolph Ziggler. 

We're definitely reaching a zenith in terms of folk who used to just eat shit and like it now not standing for it as there is a chance of good pay and better working conditions elsewhere..

Good Brothers, Harper, Ambrose, Banks, Revival, Ziggler, Big Damo, Mike and Maria Kanelis and Rusev have all been outwardly frustrated to differing levels since turn of the year.

You really have to believe folk like Breeze, Kevin Owens, EC3, Erik Young, Crews, Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas are also on that list of folk who might well bail.

 

Feel that AEW are going to pick up on the controversy over Jon Oliver's recent piece on working conditions and really force WWE's hand in the same vein that WCW offering guaranteed contracts forced their hand in the 90s.

Aye there's loads more options now. AEW is just one. Wrestlers can make a decent living on the indies now given there's so many decent ones, and they'll probably enjoy it a lot more, plus will have loads more control over their own schedule.

In utterly shite news, Kid Lykos has retired through injury. This kinda seemed inevitable with his troubles with injuries, but it's shit all the same. Absolutely brilliant to watch and the way his team with Chris Brookes just exploded onto the UK scene was brilliant.

Seems Alexander Wolfe has also asked for his release. Confirmed the break up of Sanity and signed off his post with #goodbyewwe
With Nikki Cross seeming to have gone undrafted in the shake up might be she & Damo are following Wolfe out of the door?

Damo has already been quite vocla about how pissed off he is.

NXT UK would be a step backwards but you'd instantly get two main players on that brand.

That's down to massive failures on WWE's part. Wolfe and Dain barely had to do anything to be seriously over in NXT and it wouldn't have taken much to make them a threat on Smackdown. As I've said repeatedly though. WWE are pish at bringing up teams and groups from NXT.

They had guys who could be stars and just fucking destroyed them. That idiot Road Dogg going just scratches the surface. They need to get rid of the whole lot and start again.
