The question is, will WWE be petty enough to job him out or have him in a respectable program that will allow him to elevate someone else in a farewell program. Also will they be petty enough to mess with Renee.

Does Jericho not count? Because him going to NJPW and then AEW was pretty big news.

Also being made out of Hemp, expect RVD to come back and Riddle to demand a call up

Add your boy Itami to the great exodus of 2019
basically was in the process of posting it.

That would make sense since he did change his name on twitter back to KENTA. Frankly this is long overdue, this is a combination of WWE messing up and injuries at the wrong times for him.
I really hope he goes back to NOAH. He's 37 (38 in March) so he has a few good years in him and with new owners for NOAH, he could also get into the front office there. Out of the older wrestlers, he's better than basically all of them (he's better than Marifuji and Shiozaki by a longshot, him and Suigara would be about on par). New Japan wouldn't be bad either (could take Kushida's place as a top junior or better yet, kick out suzuki and give us KENTA-gun, that would be sick, and then go after the IC or US title).
Wherever he goes, he'll be better off with them than in WWE currently (205 Live is death). It does leave a hole for 205 live (Ricochet perhaps gets the callup there now or after Mania).
Yeah it's great but it ultimately doesn't mean much when it's rep is tarnished and no one is watching (think modern day TNA/impact or even 01 WCW).Dominater wrote:Spens1 wrote:Also, according to Fightful (so Sean Ross Sapp, generally reliable i guess, but not as reliable as Keller, Satin or Meltzer).

205 is actually a great show, but nobody watches it. I think part of the problem besides marketing, is it doesn't have any type of unique look to it. It just looks like a poor man's RAW/SD. They should have had it filmed at full sail. It would have the better look, plus the crowd would be eating that shite up. Or to steal an idea from one of you guys, given it a lucha underground look.
205 has great potential, they just don't know how to maximize it
