Yeah and today, the day after all these breakouts have been reported on, WWE has decided Covid testing is no longer required. What a fudging garbage company. They had to remove these wrestlers from the Day 1 event due to Covid, so instead of getting more dedicated to helping stop the spread of the virus, they just make it so no one needs to be tested. From this point on, you can almost guarantee at least one roster member will have Covid at any given time, and WWE just doesn't give a fudge. They're going to allow their performers to work while sick and claim ignorance due to a lack of testing, meanwhile putting everyone in the locker room, as well as fans interacting with them, at risk.
Think its time for WWE to head out to pasture, personally.

I have no comment about wwe at this time
It’s a company that treats their talent like garbage in certain situations while thinking they are doing good when it appears they are not

Too much of the talent are okay with keeping their mouths shut as long as they're getting paid well. Very few are willing to speak up until after their contract is up or they're released from it.

Apparently several roster members have spoken up on this issue, both in the past and after this recent mandate. Not that it should be up to them to speak up, WWE should take incentive. They just don’t care.
I wouldn’t say they’re “okay” with it, those who remain quiet probably just don’t want to be fired. WWE hanging job security over their heads is BS too.

Little fact I read on Twitter earlier: With tonight's NXT being the final live show of 2021 for WWE, this marks the first year since 1990 that The Undertaker has not made a single appearance on TV.

Looks like Toni Storm has been released. I wonder if there are more cuts coming or if she just requested it?
edit: Also was reading up on the whole COVID testing thing. It's not that they don't test anymore at all, it's just no longer mandatory. It's basically how the the NBA and NFL does it too. Not that I agree with it.

Yeah but you know it’s just so they can get around pulling wrestlers for testing positive. And doing it in the literal middle of a huge breakout within the company makes that all the more obvious. Just about the most foolish decision to make with a new variant rampaging all over the world, and that goes for other sports leagues making the same stupid mistake.

i been paying attention to AEW lately instead of WWE.
I'll just read up on WWE news just for giggles just to see how bad and stupid the product is becoming.
Its laughable, over at AEW theres no internal disorder for the most part within the company. Quite sad for WWE whats going on. Its like they fallen from grace as a good positive promotion to work for.

Omos was advertised to be facing AJ Styles on Raw this past Monday, but he flew home early. I wonder what that was about? From what I've read by people who were there, the night before at the MSG house show he and AJ put on by far the worst match of the night. Letting Omos skip NXT and go straight to main roster was probably a mistake.

All i can say is am puzzled with WWE and how they are doing things at the moment.
The bookings have gone south
lesner vs reigns isn''t gonna help the cause unless they have an over the top story idea. Which in my opinion is preaching to the choir at this point
Few years ago they wanted to listen to the fans, they were changing the company and product for the fans.
The fans are themselves(writers, vince and other higher ups)
As far as i am concerned i'm glad i dont spend hours watching the current wwe product

WWE is terrible. AEW has been enjoyable especially with the talent they have brought in.

Been working a bunch. 1000+ hours of OT this year, 900 last year. Don't have much time to game anymore so haven't been trading.
I have been going to AEW and IWC (where Wardlow and Britt Baker got their start) shows and meeting wrestlers at cons (Steel City Con in Pittsburgh.) Met and got autographs from Darby, Britt, Sammy Guevara, Chris Hero, Orange Cassidy, Dustin Rhodes, and probably more I'm forgetting over the last few months.

It's not all sunshine and rainbows over there. Around a month ago Kiera Hogan said she felt "lost in the shuffle". Look at Big Swole saying a big reason why she left was the lack of diversity in the company, and then Tony looking like a douche with his response of "I let Swole’s contract expire as I felt her wrestling wasn’t good enough."
Just because I don't crap on WWE and praise AEW in every post doesn't mean I'm not a fan, it just means I'm not jumping on the bandwagon. But poor Tony can't handle any criticism of his company. Did you see him spewing off at Fox News on Twitter a week or two ago? It's become a meme at this point. AEW is doing well, but doesn't mean they're invincible.

Yah lol TK made himself look like a dork today. Just don’t respond to something like that imo.
But AEW is still roughly 40x better than WWE currently, and that’s not a bandwagon thing. It’s just a better show and the majority who work there seem happy, which is absolutely not something you can say for WWE. I’m in contact with Shane Hagadorn, former ROH wrestler and current AEW writer, and believe me - it truly DOES seem to be rainbows compared to reports on WWE’s backstage.
Tbh lately, I’d say it’s more of folks leaving the WWE bandwagon than folks joining the AEW bandwagon. Folks who dislike AEW don’t just start liking them to spite WWE... they just stop watching wrestling. That’s been WWE’s detriment on the industry for decades now, people get put off by their show and write all of wrestling off. Sure, TK made a stupid tweet... still hasn’t done half the crapty garbage WWE management has, especially lately. It is a wide margin between the two companies.
That said, TK pissed off a few of his own workers. Lio Rush is being vocal about it. Difference is, it seems he’s allowed to voice his opinion while working for AEW, yet was immediately fired from WWE for doing something similar. If he leaves AEW, it’ll probably be his own decision this time.

Doesn't Lio have a bit of a bad reputation anywhere he goes? Kinda like Low Ki, good in the ring but so many people that have worked with him are quick to tell you what a prick he can be.
