00:00 Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News, I'm Luke Owen and this is wrestling news.

00:11 Last Thursday saw over 20 names fired from WWE as part of the Endeavor merger that has

00:16 created new company TKO and this render of a man who really wants pictures of that Spider-Man.

00:22 Names released included the likes of Mustafa Ali, Aaliyah, Dolph Ziggler, Shanky and more.

00:27 So what's next for these released wrestlers?

00:30 Well all of the main roster talent - which would still include Ali and Dana Brooke - have

00:34 90 day non-compete clauses, which means they won't be making debuts for anyone like AEW,

00:40 Impact, Rev Pro or the like until late December at the earliest.

00:44 Top Dollar of Hit Row tweeted that he's taking bookings for January of next year.

00:48 Now back in my day, when someone was fired from WWE they did a two hour shoot interview

00:54 from a hotel room with a couple of bottles of red wine and a crappy mini DV camera and

00:58 bad audio.

00:59 Nowadays, former WWE talent either start their own, or guest on someone else's podcast

01:04 like Talk is Jericho where they can talk about their final few weeks in the company in between

01:09 Y2J advertising snazzy socks and talking about his band's latest crap single.

01:13 Or you could start a YouTube channel and create some funny Fightful article headlines - like

01:18 Maven for example - who revealed by his YouTube channel that the real reason wrestlers wear

01:23 underwear underneath their trunks is because "you don't want your meat and two veg rattling

01:29 around during a match".

01:30 There's a sense of security that you need when you're jumping around flying through

01:34 the air.

01:35 The last thing you want is rattling around of the undercarriage.

01:38 I would always wear a thong.

01:39 Why would I wear a thong?

01:41 Well because I want it as little amount of material underneath my trunks.

01:45 So there you have it folks, WrestleTalk News once again bringing you the news that matters

01:49 the most in this crazy world of pro wrestling.

01:52 One man who might have a few things to say about his release on the other hand is Rick

01:56 Boogs - at least according to the replies he's left on his most recent YouTube channel.

02:00 Boogs made his on-screen debut for WWE in 2019 when he was in NXT under the name Eric

02:05 Bugenhagen before moving to Smackdown in 2021 as Shinsuke Nakamura's hype man.

02:10 An injury during his tag match at WrestleMania 38 put him on the shelf, and he returned to

02:14 WWE in 2023 before being drafted to Smackdown in April.

02:18 There he… didn't do a lot.

02:21 His last televised Smackdown match was in May, though he was part of the Summerslam

02:24 Battle Royal.

02:25 Boogs was part of last Thursday's releases, and Dave Meltzer noted that Boogs' lack

02:28 of screen time was one of the reasons he - and several others - got their pink slips.

02:33 Meltzer wrote in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, "The key to the releases were talent making

02:37 main roster money but not being used on the main roster and with the idea that they were

02:41 not going to be used in the future."

02:43 Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select noted that Aaliyah, for example, had not been factored

02:48 into WWE's creative plans for over a year.

02:52 When SRS would ask about her not being used on TV, he would be told that she wasn't

02:56 injured, she just wasn't considered for anything.

02:58 Mustafa Ali and Dana Brooke reportedly were among the releases because they were making

03:02 main roster money down in NXT with no plans on ever bringing them back to the main roster.

03:08 Shanky is another name in the "creative has nothing for you" group, with SRS reporting

03:12 that he was another name that was never brought up in a creative sense once Triple H took

03:17 over creative.

03:19 When the releases were happening, one top talent told SRS most of the list of releases

03:23 barely had a chance considering they weren't booked and called it a circle that couldn't

03:28 be escaped.

03:29 And things changing once Triple H took over is being cited as the reason Boogs was released

03:34 by the man himself.

03:36 Boogs has a YouTube channel designed for his weightlifting and comedy, and in his most

03:40 recent video noted that his release was a "backstage political power play" - promising

03:45 that he will one day speak friendly about the subject, saying it will be juicy and he'll

03:49 go into all of the nitty gritty details.

03:53 Some of those details can be found in the replies in the comments section where he tells

03:56 one viewer, "I can say with 100% certainty, the removal of Vince McMahon killed my career."

04:03 The comment he was replying to posits the idea that WWE is removing "toxic masculinity"

04:08 from their shows, and one person goes as far to say that Boogs' physique and size held

04:14 him down, or as they put it, WWE are taking the testosterone out of WWE.

04:19 Boogs replied to this saying, "I can't wait to give my opinion cuz it sounds like

04:23 we're totally on the same page."

04:24 Fans have theorised since Vince's removal from creative last year that there were Vince

04:29 guys and Triple H guys.

04:31 It doesn't take a scientist to notice that once Triple H took over booking, guys like

04:34 Tommaso Ciampa ended up back on TV just like their NXT characters.

04:39 Games like The Way were put back together, and there are still persistent rumours that

04:43 DIY will make their main roster debut once Johnny Gargano returns to TV.

04:48 Crikey, all of the examples I just gave there were very Johnny and Ciampa focused.

04:54 But there are others, like JD McDonough.

04:56 JD was brought to the main roster and put into a storyline with Judgment Day, but then

04:59 Vince came back into the creative process a few months ago and that story wasn't featured

05:05 on TV anymore.

05:06 The week that Vince was off again due to his surgery, the story resumed.

05:10 You could look at that as a coincidence, but a tinfoil hat fan might tell you otherwise.

05:15 Boogs backs up the idea of Triple H not pushing Vince guys in another comment, with one fan

05:20 noting that he should be the ideal WWE Superstar because he's a larger than life character.

05:26 To which Boogs replied, "Pretty much everyone on the corporate side of the company agreed.

05:31 Which is why I was always the third party guy doing commercials for Old Spice, Snickers,

05:36 Mike's Heart, Lemonade and Toyota.

05:38 However, one person clearly has some weird grudge against me."

05:43 This has led several fans online to point the finger of blame on that one person being

05:47 Triple H.

05:48 What do you think of Rick Boogs' comments?

05:50 Let me know in the comments down below.

05:52 But changing gears slightly, it's time to head over to our own Bryan Children, who's

05:56 returned to the WrestleTalk News and has provided his first bit of wrestling commentary on this

06:02 NGW match.

06:04 Oh, and a big kick there.

06:06 Lovely stuff.

06:07 Oh, ducks underneath.

06:08 Flippity do da.

06:09 Flippity day.

06:10 Oh, we love to see it.

06:11 Oh, it's beautiful stuff.

06:12 He's taking a breath.

06:13 He's pointing at his ear.

06:14 But that's not going to be helpful.

06:15 Oh, a reversal.

06:16 A lovely little cuddle.

06:17 Another little cuddle.

06:18 A third cuddle.

06:19 It's going to be a third cuddle supreme.

06:20 Can he?

06:21 Oh, a roly poly.

06:22 Haven't seen them since primary school.

06:23 And a kick in the head.

06:24 That's what you call a kick in the head.

06:25 Oh, and a kick in the head.

06:26 Oh, and a kick in the head.

06:27 That's what you call a kick in the head.

06:28 Oh, and a kick in the head.

06:29 Haven't seen them since primary school.

06:32 And a kick in the head.

06:34 That's what you get for trying to roly poly with the best.

06:37 And another kick to the head.

06:39 And he goes outside.

06:40 Absolutely beautiful stuff.

06:42 Oh, he's going up.

06:43 He's on the ropes.

06:44 Down he goes.

06:45 Oh, dear.

06:46 Sayonara.

06:47 Oh, big bosh.

06:48 Big bosh.

06:49 He's happy with that.

06:50 He's screaming.

06:51 He should have lightly tapped him on the back.

06:52 But oh, a kick to the head as well.

06:59 Those people love kicking each other in the head.

07:01 Why do they do it?

07:02 We don't know.

07:03 Flippity do da.

07:04 We love to see it.

07:07 Clutching his knee in victory.

07:10 Excellent work as always, Bryan.

07:11 I look forward to future installments.

07:13 That man literally can do it all.

07:16 Other WWE releases from last week have been using video platforms to share their stories,

07:20 with Marseille and Mansoor joining each other on Twitch to tell tales of their time in WWE,

07:26 dropping some fun nuggets of information along the way.

07:28 For example, Mace thought he was going to be fired after a spot with Braun Strowman

07:32 went wrong on an episode of Smackdown.

07:35 The idea was that Strowman would bowl through them while holding lunch boxes, and then he'd

07:39 open one of those lunch boxes and eat a sandwich - because this is a show written for children.

07:44 However, when Strowman barged into Mace, the lunch box flew into the crowd.

07:48 The decision was made on the fly for Braun to beat up Mansoor, while Mace tried to find

07:53 the sandwich.

07:54 Amazingly, Mace thought that management was going to think he went into business for himself

07:58 by throwing the lunch box and was worried that he was going to be fired.

08:01 But another interesting note that they revealed on a recent Twitch stream is that the character

08:05 of Maxine Dupree was created before anyone was even cast in the role.

08:11 Mansoor said, "They made a @MaxineDupree Twitter, which we thought was a role play.

08:14 They followed us and we got a text, 'Follow back the @MaxineDupree Twitter account.'"

08:19 Hilariously, LA Knight, who was still Max Dupree at that point, was worried that the

08:23 character would just be him in a dress.

08:26 The decision on who was going to play Maxine was left until the day before the character

08:31 debuted on TV, according to Mace and Mansoor, but they did reveal who it was going to be

08:37 until it was changed to the Maxine we know today.

08:40 We heard Maxine Dupree was going to be Tiffany Stratton.

08:44 We heard that was very close to happening until the last minute.

08:47 I think we can all agree that worked out better for all parties involved.

08:52 Well apart from Mace and Mansoor of course because they lost their jobs.

08:58 So sorry guys.

08:59 If you want to come on the WrestleTalk News, chat to us and plug your stuff, you're more

09:09 than welcome to.

09:10 But while some others have lost their jobs, someone new could be heading to WWE.

09:15 And it's not just Jade Cargill.

09:17 Fightful Select are reporting that Sami Callihan is finishing up with Impact Wrestling, with

09:21 his contract coming to an end in just under a week - the end of September to be exact.

09:26 Callihan has been praised by those in the industry as one of the most underutilised

09:31 guys working today, which is saying a lot when he's had a massive push in Impact Wrestling.

09:36 Sean Ross Sapp adds in his report that Impact are keen to keep hold of Callihan's services

09:41 and both sides are talking about a new deal.

09:44 He does however add that Callihan is free to speak and negotiate with other companies

09:48 like AEW and WWE.

09:51 And Mike Johnson of PWInsider is reporting that there is already interest in him from

09:55 multiple companies, not just as a wrestler but also as an agent and producer.

10:00 Johnson adds that while the relationship between Callihan and Impact is amicable, the belief

10:04 backstage at the last tapings is that he is now done with the promotion.

10:09 The producer and agent thing is leading a lot of people to assume that WWE has interest

10:14 in him.

10:15 They recently brought in Nick Haldis to be a producer and agent for the company, and

10:18 Robert Roode has also transitioned into that same role.

10:22 Callihan is a smart guy and that would be a great use of him, but I'd be sad if we

10:26 didn't get to see Sami have a great run in one of the two big promotions in North America.

10:31 The dude is awesome.

10:34 And lastly for now, NXT star Nikita Lyons has provided an update on her injury recovery,

10:39 posting on Instagram that she is now able to train in-ring again - which means she could

10:43 be back rather soon.

10:45 And she made this announcement by… twerking.

10:49 I'm not sure we can even show this video.

10:53 Is this going to get us demonetised?

10:54 Are we going to get in trouble for this?

10:57 I mean should we pixelate it?

10:59 Is that too much?

11:00 Is that censoring?

11:01 Should we pixelate?

11:02 Should we um… what's the word I'm looking for?

11:04 Soften it?

11:05 Can't say we can improve it.

11:06 Soften it maybe?

11:07 Yeah, let's try that.

11:08 Yeah, that's better.

11:09 Yeah, that's way better.

11:10 Yeah, I think that's a perfect video.

11:11 To illustrate Nikita Lyons' return from injury.

11:18 I can't see this clip being shared out of context on Twitter or Instagram at all.

11:25 So yeah, good work us.

11:27 That's all we've got time for on this edition of the WrestleTalk News.

11:30 Why not go and check out the latest episode of the Three Count with me and Chopper P.

11:34 Quinnell where we predict all of Fastlane in three words or less.

11:38 But because no matches have actually been announced for Fastlane yet, it's just us

11:42 making lots of silly jokes.

11:44 Can't control Raw.

11:45 Yeah, he can't.

11:47 I mean he probably can't control Smackdown either but Raw he seems to have real trouble

11:50 with.

11:51 Maybe wins sometimes?
