I enjoyed his 1990s direct to video cop gimmick in NXT 2.0. Heck, he had the perfect villain voice, and unfortunately, I do remember his (and Dio Madden's) promo about Sabertooth tigers or something like that during the post-retribution tag run.

@MrMike120 Ай бұрын

Agreed. Theres no indication so far that he’s had any say in that decision at all. I can only imagine how huge the wage bill is and when a company is bought out that is usually the first thing that gets looked at. Think they’ve done that in terms of back office staff (and still ongoing) but talent was inevitable at some point. I suspect there’ll be a significant roster trim down at some stage but wouldn’t be surprised to see a few more deals simply not be renewed as they come up.

@JoeChianelli Ай бұрын

HHH still takes partial blame here. It's not like he wouldn't have known the status of Dijak's contract when he drafted him. If he knew talks to resign him weren't happening he should not have drafted him. Simple as that.

@MrMike120 Ай бұрын

@@JoeChianelli why? He might’ve been told there were plans to resign him and that subsequently changed or perhaps he used the draft to try and show they had longer term plans for him to try and help push through a new deal? I just think a lot of people seem to think Triple H has the same kind of remit that Vince did when he’s purely in charge of creative, if TKO don’t want to stump up the money to sign someone then there’s ultimately not much he can do yet he seems to be the one getting the bulk of the blame.

Tough to tell with contract negotiations. "We attempted to negotiate" means he/his team offered something to WWE which they evidently didn't feel compelled to go with, and they didn’t have substantial plans for him (evidently since he hasn’t appeared in the 2 months since the draft). Which has no indication at all of what they asked for. He could’ve pulled a Sasha and asked for Cody level money for all we know. Anyhow as he notes, he’s got the opportunity to go prove his worth and value and come back (or not on his terms). Only weird thing really was the callup with nothing apparently to do. All the other NXTs from the draft have had at least some presence.
