Eh I don’t like this standpoint

Yeah business wise you don’t want to sign extra people if you don’t need to

But you’re kinda devaluing what a manager brings, something wwe has been devaluing for a very long time now.

Could you argue Paul Heyman on his on screen role is replaceable with any other manager?

Kross and scarlet are an actual item so it makes sense to pair them together and pairing someone else with Kross wouldn’t make sense

Wwe could argue she doesn’t really do anything besides walk out with him. They put her in that position tho.
WWE has never cared about keeping couples together. They just aren't actively trying to break them up like they did in the past. Scarlett is no Paul Heyman, Jimmy Hart, Larry Sweeney or even a Francine/Dawn Marie.

She's deposable in the company, more so than her husband. If Kross wanted to stay he should have taken the deal. These companies don't care about how much you think you're worth. :yeshrug:

Wwe main antagonists consists of a couple breh. And this is Seth and Becky second time being on screen characters

They pick and choose is my point


They pick and choose when a manager is valuable.

Wwe knew they didn’t want Kross like that and not offering his girl contract meant they knew he would probably walk

I don't disagree with that point.

Kross/Scarlett doesn't have the same pull as their favorites, at the same time their not seen as priority.

Don’t forget PWG, which a lot of talent became known because of them.
I would even say CZW and Shimmer did as well. Them five had major talent that changed the industry, but revisionist history would tell you otherwise like we see today.

EDIT:
I accidentally left out Chikara Pro, so it really six promotions that really changed the industry in the 2000s and 2010s

true but wanting to go from Evolve to TNA...now...after TNA pretty much became a feeder to NXT is funny
The clip is from last year, but she made the choose of being part of the ID system. Plus, from her time watching the company is different from we were growing up watching the company (some of y'all were probably teens or adults when TNA was in its prime and peak)

my first exposure to TNA was when they were on FSN i was in high school. Off and on watched after it was off FSN, when would you say was their peak
