 What's good Josh your boy Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out diehard WWE fans have lost faith by none other than WrestleMania I wonder why I wonder why some of the diehard fans have now started to You know look at WWE with a side eye the recent releases of all these wrestlers all these talents It it it begs the question What is really going on? Backstage what is going on with management? Why are all these wrestlers being released because of budget cuts now? I know there have been reports of Some individuals not getting a vaccine and that's why they were released But at the end of the day, I feel like there is a way to you know work around that You know, I feel like there is a way if that person doesn't that person chooses not to get the vaccine Which every person has a right to choose to get it or not There should be a way to at least work around it where maybe they have to you know Take you know constantly take COVID tests, you know saying before and after every show Maybe they have to you know saying quarantine themselves as much or you know they're not they can't be around as many people as as Other people that are vaccinated granted you can be vaccinated and still catch it. So it's not a For sure method of being vaccinated means you won't catch it So I just think there's ways that this this could have been worked out And the fact that they were just released off that well, well since you're not vaccinated We're just gonna release you because we're gonna say budget cuts I think that's that's that's a kind of messed up. It's messed up for any company to do that You know if they're not even trying to work with you to figure out a way to you know Make the situation work because these ain't just some no names. I mean granted some of these people that were released They could have been potential main event players if WWE would have pushed them correctly But I don't want to go into the rant too much. I want to check this video out, man That's just some of my thoughts and opinions or I think it could have been handled so much better than just releasing people and saying It's for budget cuts, but let's get right into this video man. Appreciate all love support wrote to 60k. Let's do this to it releasing promising and popular stars like Carrie and cross and Keith Lee Even more shocking is the WWE's indifferent attitude towards building new stars of who by all accounts should have become main event is This is what I was saying on my NXT Talent going to the main roster not being booked correctly video some of y'all felt like oh NXT's a different brand so, you know, it's not gonna be as effective on the main roster. No We know NXT is pretty much their developmental Side of things to get wrestlers ready for the main roster What's the point of getting them ready for the main roster if you're not even gonna try to utilize them correctly? Join us now as WrestleMania looks at even why die-hard fans have lost all faith in WWE Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for Now it seems that there's been a breaking point for fans Other WWE's recent releases aren't surprising as we reported earlier this year more releases were expected For instance, it's safe to say that fans weren't surprised to see Lindsay Dorado Graham Metalik and especially in light of their rumored request for their release What is surprising is that the WWE released fan favorites like Keith Lee, Carrie and cross and Scarlett Bordeaux Popular wrestlers who weren't even given time to succeed. No, these wrestlers exemplified the WWE's universe's continued Frustrations with the promotion Frustrations which have pushed fans over the edge Cross not to mention his manager Scarlett and Keith Lee are just the latest in some of the mystifying moves by the WWE this year Even the most die-hard of WWE fans have been puzzled by the releases of superstars such as Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman Same situation which seems to confirm that no one is safe Regardless of their popularity or their spot in the WWE hierarchy and that canning a wrestler may be the most creative thing the WWE can come up with Well, they are some puzzling problems as fans frustrations are obvious from the decline in ratings and the WWE's failure to build its ratings off Successful gimmicks like the heel Roman Reigns things seem to boil down to two things number one the WWE setting characters up to fail and number two Mr. McMahon's belief that only he knows what the fans are like and and that is the problem I'm not saying all the fans You like you know know what's what's what's best for the business was best for the company But that sometimes you have to listen to the fans because they are the ones that are pretty much paying for the product at this point I wouldn't say have to but you should let me say that you don't have to listen to the fans But you should listen to the fans in certain moments You can tell when someone wants to see somebody, you know out there really doing well You can tell by the interaction and of course us fans. We can be very fickle. This is true But at the same time, I think that's a product. It's partly is part of the product of WWE's booking how they book things because at the end of the day they book Situations wish you watching one minute this person's over next minute minute this person's not over one minute This person can get a good win next minute This person can't get a win and it's like it doesn't make sense if you're trying to build up somebody as the next big thing The next star and they can't get no serious momentum going because you don't think wins and losses matter That's the problem with WWE to them wins and losses are indifferent and and it doesn't lead to characters Really getting over like they should because they don't take them as seriously So why should we take them as seriously and want even if they don't know it first? Let's look at the McMahon mindset now We produce several videos examining the WWE's failures in producing interesting stars So we won't repeat the same content in detail But a big part of the problem is Vince McMahon's idea that he's the only person who truly understands what interest fans No That's why so many wrestlers have soared in NXT only to crash during their time on the main roster Things reached the ultimate end when McMahon took control of NXT and rechristened it NXT 2.0 with the show focusing on young stars with big Physiques no matter how popular or successful a wrestler has been on NXT Vince McMahon always seems to assess them and or change them to fit his own vision Yeah, but are they setting new stars up tough fail? Looking at the slew of NXT stars who have fizzled on the main roster leads fans to think about the WWE is setting them up to fail What often happens is that the WWE takes an established character and gives them a new gimmick or look Yeah And as fans know wrestlers have traditionally been repackaged when they begin to get stale and or capitalized on a new trend in wrestling Or far too often. However, the WWE takes characters and repackages them because they have no idea what to do The Bearcat Lee that's cringe. It doesn't just call him Keith Lee. Why the fuck we called him Keith Bearcat Lee What the fuck that's dumb whoever thought that up Vince or anybody else in the back. What do you know? No, just calling Keith Lee it works the fuck Keith Bearcat With them regardless of their past success further complicating things is the WWE's lack of follow-up after it modifies its wrestlers Let's look at two examples including three wrestlers who were recently released Exhibit a Keith Lee Keith Lee quickly made a Zillow has more listings than any other online real estate company and I intend to imagine myself in all of them Ah man WWE man. This entrepreneur brand logo was done by the top freelancer I have so many talented wrestlers and yet you don't know what to do with them A name for himself in NXT with the limitless one size and strength impressing fans But his agility flooring them Lee's appearance at the 2019 Survivor Series had fans dying to know when he would debut on the main road. Thank you The pop he got when he was standing face-to-face to Roman the pop He got when he was standing face-to-face to Brock Lesnar in the middle of the ring at the Royal rumble Come on, bro People want to see it They don't care about his size They know he's a good in ring worker and he comes off believable Jesus roster and when he debuted in 2020 It seemed like the WWE was gonna push him to the moon giving Lee a big pay-per-view win over Randy Orton at payback Yeah, I mean what a start However, Lee's push stalled as the WWE couldn't seem to figure out a spot firm despite the fans getting behind him and Lee providing impressive performances After a lengthy absence due to a COVID-19 related illness Lee's return was bungled as the WWE put him largely in dark matches Denying raw a much-needed main eventer when Lee did show up He often lost a poor way of booking anyone the WWE then repackaged Lee as beer cat Lee And while the WWE may have felt Lee needed something to jumpstart his career after a lengthy absence They never gave him any time to get over failing to create any significant storyline and axing him soon after Exhibit B. Carrion Cross and Scarlet Bordeaux Standing six foot four and weighing 265 pounds at Carrion Cross seemed like a perfect fit for the big world of the WWE After recovering from a separated shoulder Cross returned towards the end of 2020 showing his dominance and regaining the NXT Championship at April 2021's NXT Takeover Booked as a monster heel Cross is peering with the sultry Scarlet reminded fans of wrestling's power couples such as Randy Savage and Elizabeth triple H and Stephanie McMahon and even Edge and Lita Fans were eager to see Cross debut on the main roster as they wondered how long it would take the fierce on fighter to win a world Championship and who he would squash on his way to the top. Yes Sadly and even more sad because no one was surprised the WWE went with its ever-reliable playbook for modifying a wrestler Who needs a no change no change first It had cross loses debut match on Raw to Jeff Hardy a former main event to whose role has largely been over to put Over other talent second the WWE seemed to split cross and scarlet up Initially fans thought the WWE might bring Scarlet in after a few weeks in order to solidify her importance in motivating Cross That didn't happen and fans are still baffled as to why such an important part of Cross's act was taken away Finally the WWE saddle cross with a new outfit that can only be described as a leftover concept art from the classic 80s tag team Demolition yeah, I mean even cross trashed his own helmet Cross was effectively neutered with fans having no reason to get behind a wrestler who went from dominant on NXT to docile on Raw Yeah, even Hall of Famer Mick Foley was astonished by the WWE's handling of cross on Raw I think younger talent sees the way that development characters are cut or left by the wayside Or in the case of Carrie and cross greatly watered down and even made a joke of when they debut on the main roster If it's not broke, don't fix it This is what I was saying in my video What's the point of changing a character and it there the their development in NXT and it works and people telling me Oh, it's not gonna work on the main roster. How? How does it not work on the main roster when you don't even try it? What are you there ain't no way you can tell me Carrie and cross and his girl Scarlett Going out with the theme music with the smoke with the pyro You know going off Not getting over You'll be a dominant heel. What are we talking about? Keith Lee didn't need a change Just keep booking him the same Jesus fucking Christ
