WWE Admits "We Have Nothing For You" By Firing The Following People
When the "Creatively Challenged" WWE Creative isn't "creative enough" to come up with something "Creative" for people? They just fire them, and today? A whole bunch of people found themselves unemployed.
Johnny Curtis aka Fandango, The Bollywood Boyz, August Grey
205 Live and NXT star Curt Stallion and Arturo Ruas (who was last seen during Raw Underground)
MMA Four Horsewoman member and NXT star Marina Shafir
WWE had been planning to change her official ring name and there had been some pitches for the new name over the last few weeks, so there had been plans in the works for her. But instead the WWE changed their mind and decided she can have a changer of employment instead.
Proving that the 'creatively challenged' WWE creative team is indeed, 'creatively challenged'.
Ariya Daivari and Tony Nese Also recieved their walking papers today.
Shafir, married to Roderick Strong, signed with WWE in May 2018, but never really had a significant run. She last wrestled on WWE 205 Live on January 29, teaming with Zoey Stark for a loss to Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart in a tournament match for the WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles.
Ruas signed with WWE in 2015 and appeared on RAW Underground last year. He was drafted to RAW in the 2020 Draft, but had been quietly moved back to NXT. He last wrestled on the November 18 NXT, losing to NXT Cruiserweight Champion Kushida.
Tyler Breeze, Ever-Rise (Chase Parker, Matt Martel) and Killian Dain also can kiss their WWE careers (or lack thereof) goodbye as well.

WWE Doesn't Require Writers To Have Any Wrestling Knowledge- Just Don't Say That Publicly Or You'll Be Fired, LMAO!
So, in the WWE a writer doesn't have to have ANY knowkledge of professional wrestling to write their shows?
LMAO!
You know how stupid that sounds, right? And now you know why their product sucks so bad, right?
Gee, why have ANY knowledge of the business you're gonna write shows or segments for? FFUUCC KK IITT, just wing it, your employer don't care if you have any knowledge of it or not. Why have any knowledge when they're just gonna pay you to write, 'whatever'?
Just don't come out and say it publicly because it does make the largest professional wrestling organization in the country, look fucking stupid.
BUT, someone did go public and now the WWE really does look stupid.
WWE has reportedly fired creative writer/producer Kenice Mobley.
Mobley, a stand-up comedian and podcast host, was just hired to work the RAW brand earlier this month. She made headlines this week for her recent appearance on the “Asian Not Asian” podcast, where she revealed that WWE did not require her to have any pro wrestling knowledge when they hired her. She received significant negative feedback from fans for some of her other comments on Twitter and the podcast, including not knowing if the WWE Champion was named “Bobby Ashley” or Bobby Lashley. You can click here for our original report on Mobley’s comments, along with some of her background information and her tweets on pro wrestling.
It's been said that Mobley’s comments received some attention within WWE. It was noted that Mobley was “under the gun” for speaking publicly about subjects that WWE did not want talked about. It's been mentioned before how WWE’s job listings for creative writers do not list a knowledge of pro wrestling as a requirement, so her comments didn’t come as a major surprise to some.
But it sure made the company that hired her look like complete dumb asses.
There was a negative reaction to Mobley’s comments, and that Mobley is not the only WWE writer in this situation, as this is typical of many of the writers. WWE officials were reportedly embarrassed by this going public due to the feeling that it makes the company look “blindingly stupid” to the outside world.
Well, they made it obvious by not requiring their writers to have any wrestling knowledge, so who's fault is that? OOHH, that would be....Them.
Mobley protected her tweets after her podcast interview started making the rounds this week. She has made her Instagram account private since late last night.
Virgil Charges Brooke Hogan $20 For A Picture (People Still Buy Them? LOL)
Former WWE Superstar Virgil ran into Brooke Hogan, the daughter of two-time WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, on Thursday.Virgil shared a few photos and made it clear that he charged $20 from Brooke for a picture.
He tweeted: I don't care who your daddy it still be $20 for a pic $30 for the autograph combo honey. #meatsaucemadness
Virgil’s hustler gimmick has become quite popular on social media in recent years. Earlier this year, the former Million Dollar Champion said he wanted in on Cameron Grimes’ new money gimmick. Virgil posted a graphic of him standing alongside Grimes, calling them the hottest combination since paste & salad at Olive Garden. Grimes turned down Virgil’s offer as he was upset with Ted DiBiase for his own shortcomings in basketball dribble hustles.
Scott Hall one time buried Virgil and made fun of his gimmick table right to his face.
Don't believe me? The video of THAT, is right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X_jTDryhVg
He even has a replica of Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar title belt on his table as well.
Wonder what WWE would think of that, especially since that title has been brought back to live in NXT.
Makes you go, HHMM.
BOOKER T LOSES HIS LAWSUIT AGAINST ACTIVISION
Sportico reported that Booker T lost his lawsuit against video game publisher Activision, claiming unlicensed used and similarities between his G.I. Bro character and Call of Duty character Prophet.
The article mentions "During the litigation, Activision argued that Huffman had contracted away to WWE all rights to the promotional material as well as rights to images and other depictions of G.I. Bro. In response, Huffman insisted that he only contracted away intellectual property rights when they are used in connection with the business of pro wrestling. Along those lines, he asserted that the comic book character G.I. Bro does not fall within that limitation."
"Activision also maintained that Huffman had exaggerated similarities between G.I. Bro in the poster and an image of Prophet owned by Activision. As the video game publisher saw it, both merely involved black military men with dreadlocks standing in a “generic military pose” while holding weapons. Huffman disputed that characterization, stressing the similarities were far closer than the generic depiction offered by Activision.
