Fun fact: this is the “Generic 3” entrance template from WWE 2K12.

Seriously though, if they indeed put him on television without scarlet he’ll die a swift but painful death. As bland as it gets.

Hot take - Odyssey Jones is going to be a huge star.

I can't help but think Bryan's last match vs. Styles at Summerslam would have been a better send-off than a Smackdown match vs. Roman.

I think he’d rather it be the latter. He’s old school. Put over the next big guy on your way out of the territory. And it seems as though he left on as good of terms possible in that situation

Backlash viewership up 26% from last year, HIAC up 25%, and MITB up 46%:

If we get Roman vs. the Rock at Wrestlemania I can only imagine how well that will do.

Oh wow. Bray Wyatt released. What a complete failure by that company. Bray got over multiple times on his own talent and charisma and wwe squandered it consistently.

This is interesting now. Punk, Bryan and Wyatt are 3 needle movers for AEW.

WTF NO

Now I hate Alexa

I think Bray passes punk for worst case of mismanagement in company history

WRau1 · Post #1811 » by **WRau1** » Sat Jul 31, 2021 5:06 pm

Lol, AEW is going to be so stacked.

Scott Hall · Post #1812 » by **Scott Hall** » Sat Jul 31, 2021 5:22 pm

Can AEW continue to keep on signing everybody? do some of these guys end up in Impact Wrestling
like a Buddy Murphy? I'm still all in favor of AEW getting as much talent as possible and start phasing
out a lot of that Indy junk they were forced to start off with at inception.

AEW is gonna be a legit competitor to WWE in no time at this rate. They wasted Wyatt's talent.

Bray was a character, but my god he can’t wrestle. He hasn’t had a decent match since I can remember.

Even with Fiend started and the character was hitting, the character stopped him from having actual matches. Eventually you need to be able to go in the ring.

This is not right. His style is storytelling and psychology. I’ll take that 100 times out of 100 over the Young Bucks non stop spot fest nonsense. More of a gymnastics display than theatrical combat.

Bray Wyatt sucks at everything except character definition and the initial burst of intrigue creation. He felt intriguing because he was weird and cryptic. I don't think his storytelling abilities are anything special. He's Lost as a wrestler.

I just didn’t see it with him the last 3 or so years. It was build, build, build with no payoff in the ring. Character work could only get you so far these days when you put out 2-ish star matches.

His two wrestlemania matches with Orton stick out to me. Both were MONTHS of decent build ruined by horrible in-ring work at the event.

Watched "Bray Wyatt and the man in the woods: Superstar Ghost Stories" and it hits differently now

WWE just wasted a genius mind

Sometimes I just hate this company.

Releases have been absolutely brutal as of late.

Like the other batches, lots of talent here.
