I haven't been paying attention to this, I know the kid was a minor, but was he the legal age of consent in the state? Because that makes a big difference. If the kid he went after was below the age of consent, he's pretty fucked. If he wasn't I could see him going to AEW or Impact after things calm down a bit.
This is a pretty easy thing for them to do, this isn't an era where talent draws money, it's not like 15-20 years ago where releasing Austin, Rock, Cena, Batista, Undertaker, Foley, etc or even midcarders like the Hardy Boyz would mean that they lose out on potential $$$. All of these guys are pretty replaceable, it's basically next man up. They can let pretty much anyone go on the roster, including most guys on top, and it wouldn't hurt them whatsoever. The only ones that could hurt them would be Taker, Edge, Orton, or Reigns, and that's mostly because if they went to AEW, it could give them name recognition and credibility.
Well, seems like Dream's done. I mean if the rumors are true, good riddance. But fuck man, this guy was supposed to be one of the biggest stars for years to come. And it's all down drain. But, looks it has to be done.
That makes no sense to me, if he was getting fired wouldn't he want to keep his social media so he could update his hundreds of thousands of followers on his next career moves?
There are people still with WWE accounts that got fired several years ago just because they don't want to lose that blue check mark and their followers.

Whats weird about these allegations, not only is it apparently legal, he was also 19 himself. So even if age of consent was older, due to the proximity of ages at the time, this kind of thing is common and I don’t think 19 yr old get prosecuted for having sex with 16/17yr olds as long as it wasn’t forced.
so I assume if the company fires him, there is a bigger allegation that will justify it. Whatever it is, hopefully they can just suspend him and demote him for a while. He’s still so young to just get rid of.
Problematic by what standards exactly? People with bad attitudes behind the scenes? People who are opinionated and are viewed as difficult by management? People who have a shady background like the sexual assault allegations? There's all sorts of ways you could look at it really. The term problematic is kind've vague.
Why would Ryker get fired for being Trump supporter when Vince is a Trump supporter and Linda is a part of his administration? If anything I expect Ryker to get a huge push for being the only "alpha" on a roster filled with "libcucks".
This isn't surprising. The WWE has a lot tied into its public image. If they can validate these claims and talent are problematic to work with it's WWE's prerogative to get rid of them, and it's in their best interest to.
I hope Vince finally releases Jeffree Star....oh wait.
I never got the hype around Velveteen Dream, i just never got him. There was always something off about him, something i just didn't like and i wasn't sure why. If he get's released i'll not miss him at all.
The accident may not have been Dream's fault if he was in the co-driver seat and the driver simply too young for a licence (sorry, had way too many jokes in mind to not do one).
Anyway, good to hear the injuries are seemingly not that serious.
It's sad that a lot of people are being released but if the problems they committed victimized other people then I do think they deserve the boot.
