They released Marcus Louis and Sylvester Lefort too. Louis shaved his eyebrows off for no damn reason.
By bringing in all these indie guys, the roster is going to end up with a bunch of guys who have already made their name outside of WWE. Wonder how Vince feels about that.
Wonder how the coaches and people trying to get into Wrestling feel about that too
You get the impression they want to get people in with no previous notable experience and build them up to the WWE way sometimes, but then you get indie stars in in who have their own style and own name and you're spending more time trying to undo their habits of what got them over vs building someone from scratch.
On paper I get the idea of bringing them in to prepare your homegrown talent as a fastrack way of learning the business and paying dues, but then the business aspect comes in.
At some point that's gonna come to a head, maybe a few years from now but it will be a debatable point.
