WWE Isn't Using Mustafa Ali But Refuse To Grant Ali's Request For A Release (How F*cking Dumb is That)
If you're not using the guy, and say he's "too polished, Too clean" and all those bullshit excuses to keep him sitting at home, then why don't they just fucking release him?
Could it be that they KNOW, that he'll just go somewhere else and gain greater success because THEY, at WWE are once again 'creatively challenged' when it comes to 'creating' something that'll get over in their 'universe'?
I think we all know the answer to that, it's yes.
It's the same thing when Sin Cara asked for a release. They weren't using him correctly, The 'creative department' showed then as always they can't really 'create' anything, but yet won't release him.
THAT story was covered here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/11/request-release-from-job-you-dont-like.html
Ali took to social media to request his release from the company. However, Fightful Select reports that it is not WWE’s plan at the moment to grant his request.
They can fire countless others, but they won't let this guy go? How fucking dumb assed, is this?
Pretty fucking dumb assed, I tell you. Welcome to the stupid logic that exists in the WWE.
According to the report, WWE and Ali have been in communication and Ali was told that he would not be granted his release. It was noted that Ali has years left on his current WWE deal.
The Fightful report noted that the term “value” was brought up a lot in their discussions.
Where's the value in keeping the guy sitting at home for months? DDUUHH! Nice try but that excuse doesn't add up.
There were not any specifics mentioned when it came to 'Value'.
Of course there wasn't, OF COURSE there wasn't.
Mustafa Ali last wrestled on the October 29, 2021 episode of SmackDown, losing to Drew McIntyre. Ali took time off for paternity leave last November and welcomed his third child later that month. It was reported that Ali only asked for one show off for paternity leave.
Ali and Vince McMahon reportedly had a heated argument last fall, and the former Cruiserweight Champion hasn’t been attending shows since.
During an interview with Metro in October 2021, Ali
discussed a past conversation he had with Vince McMahon before the COVID pandemic began. According to Ali, McMahon directly old him that he was, “Too polished, too clean, too nice. I don’t know if you have it in you!’”
“After sitting at home for seven months and then finally coming back to Monday Night RAW, only to pick up a few victories and then to go back to not being on Monday Night RAW and now being stuck on Main Event, you’re kind of scratching your head,” Ali said. “Like, what have I gotta do? And then you realize, you’ve gotta go ask the hard questions. I went up to Vince McMahon himself and said, ‘What am I missing?’ [He said], ‘Too polished, too clean, too nice, I don’t know if you have it in you!’”

SWE Champion Charlie Haas responds to Tim Storm ahead of their match this Saturday!
SWE World Champion Charlie Haas responds to Tim Storm ahead of their rematch this Saturday, 1/22, at Have A Nice Day featuring Mick Foley in Irving at Southern Junction Texas! As former SWE Champion, Tim was supposed to defend his title that night against Brent McKenzie. Charlie Haas was a last minute replacement. During the finish, a big schmaz started outside the ring. Charlie hit Tim with a cheap shot and covered him. The referee counted, even though Tim had put his leg outside the ropes which should have stopped the count. The referee didn’t see it and counted three. Tim blamed former SWE GM Teddy Long for what happened. Tim made a statement saying he was coming back and he would no longer be the nice guy we all know and love him to be. This Saturday, he gets his rematch. Will we see a new side of Tim Storm??? Will Charlie Haas be surprised with Tim as a last minute challenger, as Tim was surprised with Charlie??? Can Charlie Haas who’s been at the top of his game rebound after his severe concussion at Impact tapings two weeks ago??? Show up this Saturday, and find out! World Class Pro Wrestling Presents Have A Nice Day featuring the return of Mick Foley and a STEEL CAGE SHOWDOWN between "The Samoan Werewolf" Jacob Fatu and Moonshine Mantell!!! January 22nd, 2022 @ Southern Junction Texas in Irving!

VON ERICHS PULLED FROM TOMORROW'S MLW EVENT IN DALLAS
The Von Erichs were slated to challenge 5150 for the MLW Tag Team Titles, built around the idea of the first time the family has challenged for gold in decades.
MLW is working on changes to the card, including a substitution team.
MLW Azteca had already been put to bed before the Von Erich situation took place, so the TV episode will likely not reflect the changes to the card.
MLW is slated to run Gilley's in Texas tomorrow in Dallas.
Coming Soon- "The Success Of Wrestling Past And Present"
Coming before the end of the week will be a collaborated article "The Success of WP&P", done by the three staff members here at Wrestling Past And Present, Bill Walkowitz, Gino Bradley and Donnie Henderson.
The article will entail how and why this site was created, the steps we take to ensure that we cover the widest variety of wrestling that NO OTHER wrestling site covers. Why we decided to do this way, the 'heat' that this site has with the 'major' wrestling news sites, and the success that has come from truly doing it our way and truly BEING, an alternative to the other sites like PWInsider, WrestlingInc, Observer, Sportskeeda, etc.
It will be an in depth look into how this site is and why it's become a 'go to' site for many people now.
Something for all of you to look forward to.
