Confused Identity
I honestly don’t even know who WWE is for anymore. Look at the people they released – Black, Braun, Joe, Murphy – a range of guys you should be able to make stars of for different reasons.

WWE is a place where you wait around and desperately hope to get over by attrition now.

A lot of money been put into both men. Insane to see them released!
