Heard Kassius going to show up at UK NXT.

But alot of those jobbers you named have been pretty safe regardless as WWE hasnt had their big spring cleaning in some years now, they pretty much stopped when the brand split was scheduled to take place again. This time around they dont need them to fill rosters up for both shows like they did before. They have people who not even getting TV time that are fresh and better workers.

nah

Dude pretty big outside of WWE believe it or not, they'll keep him around just for that positive image he has outside of the company. Winning father of the year back to back and some other awards. He always winning some shit thats non WWE related and they'll bring it up. I could see them transitioning into another role before they release him

If they keep him as talent he should be a commentator

Him and Graves would be fucking gold man


If behind the scenes I could see them using him as a PR/media coach down at the performance center
 
yea I read that too. Like with TJP being in the video game n shit it would cause them to have to redo his whole character model or else his look would be outdated in the game soon as It drops

I Dont think he making the cut for 2k20 though
 
World Wrestling Entertainment is going back to the past to help forge their future.

PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources that Bruce Prichard is returning full-time to the company to work in a top position on the creative team and will start back at WWE TV this Monday in Atlanta, GA.

Prichard’s position was described to PWInsider as being “as important as possible” in creative and he be one of the top point people in the creative team going forward. Prichard, 55 years old, was best known on camera as Brother Love but worked behind the scenes for a number of years as a producer and worked directly with Vince McMahon as one of his top lieutenants. We are told that Prichard’s new role will be very similar to his former position in that he will be working directly with McMahon on all things creative.

Prichard left WWE in 2008 and has since become the host of one of the most popular pro wrestling podcasts Something to Wrestle With, where Prichard and co-host Conrad Thompson do deep dives into events and personalities from WWE’s history. The podcast has become so popular that a version of it was brought to the WWE Network for a series of episodes with a second season planned for later this year. There is no word what this hiring means for the future of the podcast itself.

Prichard originally broke into the business under the legendary Paul Boesch and worked for Impact Wrestling after exiting WWE in 2008. He has made cameos at Brother Love on WWE programming in recent years.

Really hope the podcast with Conrad doesnt stop tho.
 
Starrcast, LLC applied to trademark the term "Dead Man Talking" on 2/14, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

With the Undertaker announced as appearing at Starrcast this May in Las Vegas, it's obvious that the trademark filing is in related in some way to The Undertaker.

What is especially interesting is that the filing for the trademark makes reference to podcasts, which has to make one question whether there are plans for The Undertaker to start podcasting alongside Conrad Thompson as others from the wrestling business, including Bruce Prichard, Eric Bischoff and Tony Schiavone do.

It's also possible the filing is simply the title of a planned Undertaker appearance over Starrcast weekend, as that event has programming on stage with different wrestling personalities appearing for discussions.

The official description for the filing notes the "Dead Man Talking" is for Goods and Services, specifically, "Entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainment personality; Entertainment services, namely, live appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainment personality; Entertainment services, namely, providing podcasts in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment; Entertainment services, namely, providing video podcasts in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer."

It should be very interesting to see what develops here.
 
News broke earlier this week that the WWE had released Arn Anderson, T.J. Perkins, Tye Dillinger and Hideo Itami.

The most surprising of all the releases was Arn Anderson, as he had been a producer with the company for a long period of time. According to Dave Meltzer in the most recent edition of The Observer, Anderson was fired after a backstage altercation with Vince McMahon surrounding a happening at a recent house show.

According to Meltzer, Vince and Anderson often didn’t see eye to eye, as Anderson would often agree with wrestlers who criticized the creative direction. Anderson was apparently well liked by others, including Triple H and John Cena. Meltzer went onto speculate that had Cena still had a more active role with the company, he likely would have cooled off the situation before it escalated to the point that it did.

Meltzer notes that Anderson will likely find a home as a producer for AEW and that he isn’t particularly upset to have been shown the door.

The releases of both Tye Dillinger and Hideo Itami appear to have been amicable. According to Meltzer, both simply requested their releases and were granted them. For Itami, it is likely that he returns to Japan and wrestles full time overseas, while Tye Dillinger is almost a lock to join AEW.

On the other hand, Meltzer stated that TJP was released for disciplinary reasons. He believes that the feeling backstage was that Perkins simply “had to go” even if the WWE isn’t necessarily looking to cut bait on wrestlers. Meltzer noted that it wasn’t a lack of creative ideas for TJP that led to his release, as many other wrestlers who aren’t on television are being held to their current deals. It is unknown whether TJP will sign an exclusive deal with another organization or if he will float around the independent scene.
 
Vince is petty enough to fire Arn right before wwe celebrates flairs 70s bday at Raw tomorrow in Atlanta? Probably. I’m also stunned that Vince still attends wwe house shows
 
Does anyone see anything good coming from Roman’s appearance tonight?

Hoping for the best but it could really only be one of two things.

News that he’s in remission and will be back soon or god forbid some type of retirement situation.
