@Fightful@FightfulSelect Wrestlers pay getting cut, PLEs more expensive to watch, match quality is buns, entrances and music are terrible, shady tone-deaf executives. Why do people still watch WWE? What is there even to like about this company?
Sources told @FightfulSelect that on the day of the mass releases, WWE approached numerous talent and asked them to take pay cuts in order to remain with the company. Several of them that we heard about were given two days to make that decision.
We have A LOT more details for Select subscribers.
@WrestlingNewsCo Because it’s a show and people find it entertaining, why is this so hard to grasp for people. It’s literally no different from any other form of scripted entertainment except that’s it’s live most of the time.
"I can't understand how grown men are still into wrestling," Rob Parker said on his Fox Sports show. "We all went to the zoo. We all went to the circus as kids, right? And at some point, Kelvin, you grow out of it. I just cannot get over how these older guys who are sports fans live and die for that stuff, but they have this soft spot for wrestling, and they're walking around with the belts, and they're going to a watch party at a sports bar. I need somebody to explain it to me, because I don't understand it."

Roman Reigns says there is no true competition for WWE.
“There’s no true competition for us, there’s other promotions, there’s other places to work in wrestling. But if you want to be in the top show, if you want to be considered at the very tippy top of the mountain, you have to be in WWE. And I’ve done everything you can do there, but you can still continue to dominate the scene. You can still be the number one guy. You can still, the moment they think you’ve done everything you can do, you can still *snaps fingers*, pop up and show ‘em up, oh, here’s another layer, here’s another little sliver of entertainment you didn’t think or you can evolve.”

Dave Meltzer was spotted in the arena watching SmackDown
During Matt Cardona vs Trick Williams, someone recorded him and just went,
“You’re f*cking 60 years old dude, GO HOME”
Bro had zero chill 😭
@FadeAwayMedia WWE turning WrestleMania into CelebrityMania again Lil Yachty as hype man? Cool vibes, but real wrestlers deserve the spotlight, not rap cameos for ratings. Trick better bring the smoke in the ring tho What y'all think, fire or forced?
Tom Brady goes off on WWE:
“All their stuff is so cute and scripted and they know what’s going on, in a Football game you don’t know — There’s no fake BS we do in American Football.”
