To be fair, he did an interview like yesterday saying he's done.Carlito announced his contract expires in 2 weeks and will not be renewed. TKO has no humor.

I enjoy R-Truth, especially the last year or so, and I don't like anyone losing their jobs. But he was comic relief. As much as I enjoy the comedy when it's there, it's not what I watch wrestling for.I'll admit, R-Truth's release ruins wrestling for me. I hope it's some kind of work.
Wrestlers lack charisma anymore. R-Truth stood out as a breath of fresh air in a hyper-scripted environment. I'm still upset they let Santino go too.I enjoy R-Truth, especially the last year or so, and I don't like anyone losing their jobs. But he was comic relief.

Sounds like they owe the lockerroom a bigger explanation than just the fans. I've never seen an outpouring of tributes like this before. Talent is not only reportedly not happy backstage and we're hearing about it in the dirtsheets, they are visibly not happy in their socials over this.Yeah. I do find it hard to believe that , after giving him a high profile match, on a highly rated SNME, producing a parody/homage t-shirt, WWE just dismissed him so cold blooded. Truth seemed well liked, and even at his age still very athletic. I would think they would give him a "legends" contract ala X-Pac, Ron Simmons, Kurt Angle et al. Truth is a very smart guy, with a quick wit and comedic timing, he probably would be an asset to the writers. I almost feel Triple H owes the fans an explanation for Truth's dismissal. Oh well.
Santino was the absolute drizzling shits. I liked Truth but saying he had a lot of charisma is certainly a choice. People today seem I be forgetting that there was about 15 years between Little Jimmy and "My childhood hero John Cena" where no one gave a flying fuck about seeing R-Truth.Wrestlers lack charisma anymore.

I don't mean to say they had it, but R-Truth and Santino's type of comic relief end up being the only thing worth watching to me because the wrestlers are so damn stiff.Santino was the absolute drizzling shits.

If Truth can have his contract not renewed, Miz should watch his back.View attachment 162534
Miz has also unfollowed WWE and removed all mention of them from his X and social accounts. Hearing Gunther may have as well.
Yeah, people are saying it was ultimately HHH's decision on who gets let go, but was he given a mandate to cut X amount of money by the bean-counters, and had to make tough decisions based on existing plans for how to use talent? Or what?The messed up thing is WWE seemingly got loyalty from Truth, and this is how it was treated.
The Road Dogg thing is interesting - there is apparently some speculation his tweet at the "bean counters" was an effort to point outrage at TKO rather than Triple H or Nick Kahn. Because let's be honest - if either of them really wanted to keep Truth, they would have.
I mean, I'm sure she's not getting paid as much, but Truth gets let go, yet Rock's useless daughter in NXT still has a job, so...
Sure, Truth got paid (likely pretty well) for a long time for taking almost no bumps, so good on him for that. But he was also a guy that was apparently willing to do anything he was asked, too. Not the first guy that was willing to do anything he could to be a "company man", yet got canned, anyway. Goes to show you really do have to always watch out for #1 above all else.
re Gunther - I saw a thing that he deleted his Twitter history dating back to 2022 before Truth announced his contract wasn't being renewed. Some are speculating this is gonna tie into / lead to a change in his gimmick.
Some are saying he's gonna be gone anyways since he's gonna go host American Gladiators. /shrugIf Truth can have his contract not renewed, Miz should watch his back.
Love him or hate him, Miz has been a "company man" his WWE career. And WWE is showing that doesn't necessarily matter, anymore.
