May 17, 20205 yr comment_5917545 I wasn't a Gulak fan at first, but he won me over. Definitely shitty news. If it's true that he chose not to re-sign, WTF - I wonder why, because he was finally being used in a prominent position on a real show.

Per this week's WON, they're not offering any talent any raises to resign. He was probably still on a 205 Live deal, where he wasn't making SHIT.
May 17, 20205 yr Author comment_5917547 Either WWE offered him less money than his previous contract, or he asked for a considerable raise. Both are possible. Contract disputes are the most ""acceptable"" ways of parting ways, methinks.
May 17, 20205 yr comment_5917549 That would do it. I wouldn't re-sign either. "Opportunity, pal" means shit, especially in these times - better to be able to have enough to feed your family, and his recent prominence gives him a much better chance of landing a semi-lucrative deal elsewhere.
May 17, 20205 yr Author comment_5917550 Also, rewatching SD and Bayley becoming gender swapped Bart Simpson is very good? I like her demeanor.
May 17, 20205 yr comment_5917554 Yeah it seems likely Drew was still getting 205 Live money (peanuts), and probably got a song and dance about not being able to give anyone higher money deals in These Uncertain Times and told them to pound sand. I like to think it was maybe some insidious plan by D-Bry to work a program with a guy he knew was going to bounce at the end of his deal to maximize his income wherever he landed, but I don't know if he has that kind of evil streak in him.

This leaves D-Bry all alone though I wonder who his next project is before going home to be with his family again. After yesterday I thought the plan was for Gulak to take him out during the tournament with a big injury angle so he could be off TV and have a built in feud for 2021.
May 17, 20205 yr comment_5917572 Gulak is unlucky. If his contract was coming up in like January they'd have thrown mid six figures at him.
May 17, 20205 yr comment_5917574 I get the feeling we'll see more of this when contracts are up, despite the fact these people are pushed on TV or not. I guess they have learned that the best way is to keep quite, say nothing and then simply not resign.
May 17, 20205 yr comment_5917599 Its going to be interesting when more guys leave and the free agent talent pool becomes bigger. Aew cant sign everyone. And if what i think happens happens and groups like roh, nwa and mlw dont run again till 2021, its going to be dire. Also I doubt travel overseas happens anytime soon.

Man it's either DBry getting info on guys' contracts and morale or WWE is fucking with him. Feuds with Cass: Cass gets released messily; Has lengthy program with Rowan: Rowan gets released; Asks to have something with Slater: Slater also is released. Has this amazing series and tag team with Gulak: contract negotiations go under. Just an insane streak overall.

They must be listening. Tonight's RAW had 8 matches with 7 of them being under 4 minutes.
