The WWE has been releasing a large number of superstars from the company lately. In wrestling terms, "release" is another term for getting fired (a termination).

The huge list of superstars getting released from the company started during the lockdown and the superstar releases continue even now. This been going on since last year really. Most of the superstar releases were pretty worthy of letting go 'cause the WWE has done nothing with most of them but there were a few releases that make you go, "huh, why? For example, Bray Wyatt aka the Fiend especially and Braun Strowman is another one. Those two guys were kind of a big draw to the company and were getting ready for main event status but they got released anyway. Another guy that is pretty questionable is a wrestler named Rusev who's release was unfair as well.

The latest names that WWE got rid of was Nia Jax which was also a shocker. Ya know who Nia Jax is, she is kind of a thick and overweight female wrestler who was also considered a top star. You saw her on WWE television week after week and all of a sudden WWE releases her. Male stars Keith Lee and Karrion Kross were also names that kind of shocked me.

Some of you may ask, why is all this happening? Many say it's budget cuts and the pandemic did them all in which is kind of true. WWE can't afford to pay all these stars anymore so they're trying all they can to keep costs down.

Well, for one their product sucks anyways and they're having a tough time trying to make money 'cause of their bad writing and bad booking of matches. Their ratings continue to tank week after week and WWE is getting worse. Even NXT and NXT UK are starting to get unwatchable. WWE is not a huge money making company like the used to be.

It's sad, ya know? All these wrestlers got into wrestling 'cause they want to make their dreams come true. They got into the business 'cause most of these wrestlers grew up watching the golden age of wrestling like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man, Bret Hart, Owen Hart... the good ol' days of the 80's. Wrestlers got into the business hoping to become future champions and main eventers but their dreams won't even come true 'cause of all these releases. Their careers can be cut short at anytime.

Now I would think any wrestler still working for WWE now are starting to get worried if they'll ever get the "pink" paper one day, a termination.

Anyhow, as you see these guys get released from WWE... all these wrestlers continue to work for the wrestling business but they go to other promotions like AEW, TNA, ROH or they just work for indie promotions. They continue to work for wrestling 'cause it's what these guys do. Wrestling is in their blood, it's their passion so they can't give it up even if they were let go of WWE.

I feel kind of bad for these guys, though 'cause they worked real hard to get to WWE and it's over for them real fast. I used to have no problem with Vince McMahon but he's starting to get on my nerves now. I'm losing it.
