Bo is 35. Nikki is 37. I get them getting rid of the rest of the sicks. But those two were the best two anyway. There are many older around. They could easily have kept them and let them bring in some young talent instead of replace them in the stable. It's a little odd when the youngest member is the leader anyway. Also, Aleister Black is 40. Not young, but not quite old enough for me to accept that as the reason either. Especially when they literally brought him back to the company from AEW when he was 39. "Oh we had huge plans, but then you went and aged an entire year! Now we can't use you!" IMHO part of the problem here is NXT. There's about 10 wrestlers currently there over 30 and in the past they've had a lot of people promoted already on the tail end of their career. WWE tends to not really know what to do with these people. Even when they were making waves in NXT. The truth is only a fraction of the audience watches NXT, so their success there isn't a big boost and many of them were already good enough for the main roster. All it is doing for them is stalling careers. They should really limit it to <30's and just occasionally have main roster people have matches there instead. But I don't watch as much as I used to. Maybe I'm old and out of touch and shouting at clouds. To be fair, clouds do annoy me these days.

Many of WWE's main roster cuts were "age-related" as the company is trying to get a younger roster. (Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter)

I forgot Nia too and she's always been utterly useless. Though I did like the demolition tribute. On the male side, it's worth noting Bo Dallas is only 35. There's a LOT of wrestlers over 35 left on the roster. Also at 40 I think Aleister Black is a little bit BS too. There's a lot of people over 40 around too. Yes a lot are big well established stars, but many aren't really doing much and are about due for retirement anyway (Sheamus and Kingston come to mind). But anyway, I'm not buying Bo Dallas is "Too Old" for a second or any of the women released. I don't see why they couldn't have kept Bo and just paired him with Nikki Cross, maybe got some young blood in. I mean WWE chose to fill the Sicks with people over 40. That's a booking issue not Bo and Nikki's failure. They were the best two anyway!

Here’s the thing, they got rid of all the old talented artists long ago because they were all “Old white dudes”, the young people they replaced them with were less good and so drove up the cost to do anything. Meanwhile the writing and simply choice of characters went a similar way, for similar reasons. The result was films that needed over $200m to make (Way more actually, but those announced budgets are listed after the generous tax credits) and struggled to hit $600m at the box office (Enough to be profitable after theatre cut, Prints and advertising). The trend has been steadily downwards on success (Spider-Man and Deadpool/Wolverine aside) and let’s not forget the last movie The Wasp was in was one of the worst for quality, cost and losing money. So while I respect what she is doing (Really do, I don’t fault her for speaking out about non-actors losing work), the truth is these movies are not financially viable as is anymore. Something has to change if they are going to keep making them. Personally I’d rather they focus on actually popular characters and stories instead of stuff from the dead wasteland of modern comics, and make good, fun, agenda feee cinema, but if they refuse to that.. Well, they have to cut other corners. But maybe this can unify everyone… in not watching.

Evangeline Lilly, who plays Hope van Dyne/Wasp in the MCU, blasts Disney for laying off artists at Marvel Studios: "SHAME ON YOU for turning your back on the people who built the power you are now using to throw them away. Why [does AI] get to steal our brilliance and use it to make executives rich while the artists responsible for feeding their robots go hungry? Disgusting... To the Marvel Studios artists who designed and brought to life the glory days of Marvel...I salute you. I was there. I know what you did. I know how passionately you worked round the clock to make magic happen. You are the magicians, no matter what the Wizards of our new Oz make it look like going forward. I will never forget." variety.com/2026/film/news…

I try not to judge. They largely deal with complete technotards, and it breaks them. They end up assuming everyone is an idiot just to save time and if you do that, well you come across as a C U Next Tuesday. I’d like to think it wouldn’t happen to me and I do somewhat do technical support for a living, just not IT specific. I can still be sympathetic the 100th time someone calls me out because they haven’t figured out how to turn on an amplifier. But then I’m told I’m good with people (Despite being a bit of a misanthrope internally). For some reason IT people tend not to be. They don’t hide how much they hate everyone as well as I do. lol.

And that changed… how? Why not then? Why now? And why not just Hogan? Bret tears into everyone now and you,ve failed to make a single intelligent or coherent argument to explain why Bret didn’t offer the mildest of criticism then (Despite many others doing so), but now clearly gives zero fucks about tearing down the business now. It, like your entire asinine opinion makes no logical sense.

@FArkonus @PWPNation It would damage the business for people who had both heroes in their childhood and don't wanna see them talk badly about each other. It could also make mainstream news and be used against the business later on by people who wanted to tear down pro wrestling.

Pro Wrestling Powerhouse
Bret Hart wrote this piece about Hulk Hogan in the Calgary Sun on June 8, 2002: “The first time I met Terry Bollea we were both working for Georgia Championship Wrestling, which eventually evolved into the WCW. Back then he was known as Sterling Golden. He was very green. And very impressive. On the day I left Atlanta to come home I knocked on his door to say good bye and told him if he ever wanted to learn to wrestle he was welcome to come up and work for my Dad any time. He thanked me, and meant it, saying hed keep it in mind. The next time I saw him was in Japan. He'd just shot his cameo for the Rocky Ill movie and was on the verge of mega - stardom that nobody could have even begun to imagine. Still the same guy. When I started with the WWF, in August of '84, he was on his way to being, without question, the biggest name in the history of wrestling. I can remember, even during the glory days of Hulkamania, how Terry would come into the dressing room and say hi to every single wrestler. Every night he headlined there was a sell out and throughout the night all the wrestlers would come up to him and whoever his opponent was and thank them both for the house, for putting food on their tables and making wrestling something worth respecting. I can say that Hulk Hogan was not only a hero to millions of Hulkamaniacs, but to all the wrestlers too. If Vince McMahon was Julius Caesar, then Hulk Hogan was Alexander The Great. I remember one time at an airport, in about 1987, when Hulk signed one autograph after another to the point where it took him 45 minutes to get to the gate. They were closing the doors as he was boarding the plane and this one fan asked him for his autograph. He said apologetically, “I'm sorry, I can't, I'm gonna miss my flight..." and he got on the plane. I was right behind him and I heard a bystander flippantly remark, 'Just like I figured. I always thought he was a jerk.' I thought to myself, that person has no idea how many autographs he just signed. Being a hero like Hulk Hogan it's hard to make everybody happy but for a guy that's been wrestling as long as he has he's certainly done a heck of a job. Hulk was especially considerate of me when I joined him in the WCW. I saw him a few days ago at Davey's funeral and despite the sad backdrop, it was nice to catch up on things. So then I opened up my paper and saw a picture of Hulk, taken in Calgary, with a fifteen year old girl named Amanda Marqnia who dreams of being a pro wrestler but needed a heart transplant. It brought back what I remember most about Hulk Hogan, even more than his feats as a great wrestler. The countless times the office came to get him from the dressing room to make the wish of a sick or dying child come true. Despite the fact that he was pulled in too many different directions and had little time for himself or his family, Hulk always had all the time in the world for kids who needed him to be their hero. He somehow knew just the right things to say. It was never a burden to him. If anything, it gave him a sense of real purpose. I've always tried to follow his example." - Bret Hart Calgary Sun June 8, 2002

@MandyOfSteel @PWPNation You literally said it would damage the business. It’s your ability to write a coherent argument that is the problem here, but what do I expect of some fragile fool upset and obviously intimidated by someone with a little blue check mark. 🤣

@FArkonus @PWPNation The lack of reading comprehension explains the blue checkmark. The resurgence of hulkamania makes so negative words from Bret wouldn't have affected Hogan as much because in 2002 people would likely turn on Bret than abandon Hogan, that is why I said Bret would've come off worse.

I liked his first movie, but only the early screener version. In that he dies at the end, making it clear the whole idea was a “What if it wasn’t supernatural?” But they wanted a sequel, so he still becomes bullet proof at the end, ruining the whom concept. And yeah I prefer him being supernatural, but I like remakes that take a different approach (Or else why bother).

Oh man. Making me choose between Ends and Zombie’s sequel is just cruel. As bad as Ends was, at least it felt like a movie. A bad movie, about something other than Halloween or Michael Myers, but a movie nonetheless. Zombie’s Halloween felt like what I imagine a lobotomy feels like.

Hardly. Badmouthing Hogan in 2002 wouldn’t have impacted much at all. You think all the WM fans cheering the supposed heel Hogan against the supposed face Rock would go “Actually no, Bret Hart said something mean in a Canadian newspaper now I’m going to not boo or cheer Rock vs Hogan”… Yeah not going to happen. Also he didn’t just not say mean things he went out of his way to say nice things at length about him. You expect me to believe without Hart’s glowing endorsement of Hogan in a Canadian newspaper in 2002 the entire industry would collapse. Try harder.

@PWPNation If Bret were honest about Hogan in the Hulkamania resurgence of 2002, that would have just damaged the business, Bret would have come off worse than Hogan ever would if he was honest about Hogan back then. Time did prove Bret right and Hogan buried himself in his latter years.

@NiohBerg But if it makes you afraid, you get labelled as racist and the police may visit you. On the other hand if you feel afraid because someone in England is flying an England flag, the police will arrest the flag flyer and offer you counselling. This is England now.
