Jim Ross comments on the latest wave of WWE Superstars releases, which included The Good Brothers, AOP, and others.
Recently, WWE released Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Giovanni Vinci, Cedric Alexander, Isla Dawn, Akam, Rezar, Paul Ellering, Blair Davenport, and Elektra Lopez. Additionally, Sonya Deville found out that her contract would not be extended, and she'll be a free agent once it expires.
Jim Ross used to be the head of WWE Talent Relations and, unfortunately, has plenty of experience making the phone calls letting talent go. Now, he's weighing in on the latest slew of releases.
On the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross briefly touched upon the releases, encouraging those affected that this is not the end of their careers and there are plenty of landing spots in the current wrestling landscape. It's merely a matter of finding the best for each star.
"Just stay positive and regroup. It's not the end of the world. More opportunities will come. What kills you sometimes is how these talents react to the bad news and how it makes them overtly negative, and that's not good. Stay positive, stay in shape, improve your game, and hopefully find yourself another landing spot. There's plenty of landing spots out there. It's just a matter of finding the right one for you, but it's certainly not the end of the world. I can say that."
