Triple H is the final say on any roster personnel decisions. Most non-injured wrestlers that are benched from the TV that he books are candidates to get cut whenever he’s told it’s time to shed roster salary. The priority is that their books, and profit margins look good to shareholders after every quarter, which is why to juice up numbers, they shed contracts. Figuring out the WHEN on these matters is Ari and Nick. Figuring out WHO goes is Paul Levesque. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’d have to be impressively naive to believe otherwise.

The actual WWE product, roster, talent acquisitions, and business transactions with other promotions is Triple H’s domain. This was always going to be the end result of an influx of WWE ID talent trickling in through the system on the cheap and other avenues of acquiring talent. Especially when the base salary for main roster talent increased to $350,000/year.

The people that scapegoat TKO solely and pretend HHH has nothing to do with it when being mad at releases need to get real. Ari Emmanuel is likely unable to name more than 15-20 talent on the entire WWE roster. How do so many people not have any clue how this works.
 
True as it may be he still a fucking idiot for playing himself out of position.

He coulda talked that shit without including politics.

This our soap opera our escape from reality.
Tell that to HHH and the others who was waffling and showing love to Trump during Mania week.

In fact HHH has been doing everything possible to tell us wrestling is fake. He opened the door to all this
 


TNA officials informed the locker room today that going forward, excessive blood and blading won't be allowed.

The decision was made in order to protect the health of the talents as well as keeping current and potential advertisers and partners in mind.

** Jon Alba notes that this should be a pretty strong indicator that TNA is heavily shopping its programming right now, and was told by multiple sources that there were up to five platforms the company was talking with, including streaming options.
