Why would they invest in a guy who they know is going to WWE in the matter of months and makes it known. I don't think it's as petty as Iceberg is saying with the Punk affiliation since plent of Punks boys are getting TV time and pushes. Just smart business to cool him off for his release. WWE does it all the time no different.

They shouldn't have had him sit for the last 3 or 4 months. Use him while you got him to put someone over. They didn't put Andrade away when his contract was running out.

Didn't help Starks being at WWE events multiple times. I think Starks was completely checked out hoping AEW would just release him.

I hope Starks surpasses my expectations because he has been slick mid most his AEW run maybe WWE will level him up and hopefully not like Tiger King or whatever Pillman Jr goes by.

An update on Bobby Lashley and WWE.

Fightful Select had noted recently that Bobby Lashley’s contract would be up soon. His Hurt Business partner MVP’s contract has already expired, and Lashley’s isn’t far off. Based on what industry sources tell Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, Lashley’s deal will be up this weekend.

Those we spoke to in WWE during Summerslam weekend were under the impression that Bobby Lashley would be leaving the company, and that there were no creative plans for him in the company moving forward. We can confirm that he’s been discussed backstage in All Elite Wrestling since word of his contract status emerged. However, no offer has been made as Lashley remains under contract.

We’re told that Lashley also has interest from the fighting world, and in Japan.

Those close to him believe he will make at least an appearance in AEW, and say he's ready to return to TV.

For those asking, Mustafa Ali is finished with TNA for the time being.

It's not that deep bro

Lashley pretty much summed it up himself in that same interview. HHH has his guys and Vince had his. Lashley was Vince guy and THB was Vince project that Vince himself ruined before he got taken down. HHH did try w/ Lashley it was just a all around bad luck situation from the booking to him getting hurt towards the end. I don't think race has anythingto do w/ the situation

Lashley found himself in the same position as a lot of other talent that's not being used rn too also and that's more of the problem.
 
Yeah I still think Hunter has always moved funny but wrestling fans will always praise him. I always found the Hunter love weird knowing the history.

That shit was racist as fuck looking back at all angles.

Triple H from 2005-2015 always acted like a the old white man who finds. Black culture silly by mocking it when he was doing promos with black talent.


Hunter also tried to stop Rock from shining too but Rocks popularity was too big to stop.
 


This is what a real champion A tier star looks like. Not a rapper with a napoleon complex that couldn’t even get over being Kanye’s lackey. Only niggas like Lil body g can love a Big Sean

Scott D'Amore appeared on Busted Open today and discussed for the first time, his exit from TNA.

He noted that two days before the TNA name was brought back at the Hard To Kill PPV, he was given the word that he was done and his speech that night was his love letter to professional wrestling. He stated that while he had spoken to Anthem Head Len Asper about it and knew it was coming, "It still hit me pretty hard." He admitted the company was paying him a "ton of money to sit at home, which is kind of nice."

D'Amore said it was a "difference of opinion" on how the company should be that led to his departure, which lines up with what PWInsider.com reported at the time. He said he took it hard but didn't take it personally. He said that when he finished out working at the TNA tapings, he set up Jordynne Grace working the 2024 Royal Rumble and looked into acquiring the company, which Anthem turned down.

D'Amore felt that the Hard To Kill PPV put the exclamation mark on his seven year run with the company and noted that he didn't want all the credit nor all the blame for anything as it was a team effort. D'Amore also noted how proud he was to build the team behind the scenes, saying the company was "deader than dead" as a brand and he had an 80 hour plus obsession to rebuild it, naming Tommy Dreamer, Jimmy Jacobs and Robert Evans specifically as part of the team.

D'Amore said he was very proud of what they had done and admitted to being very upset that the reigns were taken away from him when he felt the company was ready to "explode" into a larger position.

D'Amore announced the debut of his Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling promotion for this October in Windsor with the shows streaming live on TrillerTV.
