"That's why #boxing > pro wrestling."
Yeah, but Bockwinkel. BOCKWINKEL.
Of course, it'd probably be easier to watch 80's AJPW/NJPW, then you get the best US wrestling has to offer but in actually decent matches*.
*disregarding the finishes.
But seriously, Mid-South - if good ol' Bill Watts and the Mid-South crew can't reignite your love for wrasslin', nothing can.

I just want to say whoever set this up should be directing promos for WWE.

Oh noes...
No one needs Wrestlicious. No one.
That being said, if you guys were in Wrestlicious how would your verse in the Wrestlicious intro go?
My name's Bootaaay and I like deathmatch wrasslin',
when I link to a .gif I leave WrassleGAF guessin',
Will it be clean? Or will it be vicious?
Only one way to find out, it's Wrestlicious!

Yeah, I seriously don't get it - I mean, Bateman, they barely even gave him the barest hint of a chance, whereas Briley never got to be more than a jobber on NXT, but even so, he showed some promise. And yet I bet you they'll have unending patience with Bo Dallas, despite the fact that he's just awful all round.
Bo Dallas is around because his father is a WWE legend. They love those kinds of wrestlers. They only get rid of them if they become as bad as Wes Briscoe.
Expect 5 more names to come out.

Oh well, I'm sure he'll be welcome back in Kaientai Dojo, if that does turn out to be the case.

Sakamoto? as in the guy who was managing Tensei? Oh damn, we've missed out on a feud where Sakamoto returns with new found skills to get revenge on Sweet T and punish him further for abandoning his lordship title and bringing shame upon Sakamoto by extension.

Regardless of whatever nonsense they had him doing before, if they can't find anything for a guy of his talent then I've clearly been doing WWE creative a great disservice, because they're even more contemptible that I thought.
I guess they weren't impressed with them off-screen? Because they sure didn't get a chance on TV. I suppose they're looking to drop a bunch of guys to make way for that wave of new signings we heard about from the Observer (what was it, like two dozen guys planned to be signed?).

It really annoys me that they fire Bateman when they push fucking Bo down our throats, Derrick was everything that they want us to think Bo is. Though why push someone who's a genuinely charismatic and attractive face when some loser's IRS's son?
And you'd be right

Oh well, I look forward to seeing Kazma's return to K-DOJO.
I guess WWE's happy with Yoshi being their 'token Asian guy' and Yoshi's probably happy too, considering he was going nowhere in New Japan.

Wrestling was introduced to Japan by US soldiers stationed in Osaka after WW2 and ever since then the main archetype has been the 'evil foreigners vs Japanese heroes', so it's not surprising that there's always room for non-Japanese wrestlers in Japanese wrestling. US wrestling has always required more character work and I guess the language barrier proves to be a problem, especially in today's WWE.

How is this even possible?

Bateman appeared to be gone beforehand because he had a major injury and hadn't come back from it yet. He must have just gotten healthy, so of course he gets fired.
Releasing him is terrible, the guy was super funny, a very good looking guy, and he would have been great for Saturday Morning Slam & comedy skits in the big shows. Even if there was some doubt about his in-ring ability post-injury, he would have been outstanding on a Matt Striker/Josh Matthews career track. I would have loved to have seen a Bateman/Striker announce table.
I knew the USA Guy gimmick was trouble for him, though. It is funny as hell and awesome, but it would have made a certain segment of the audience very angry.
I hope he gets another shot.

You understand that once I'm in wrestling shape I'm going to break you in half, right? I'm going to give you so many unprettier's.
