Wrestling World Reacts To Recent WWE Releases

The wrestling world has taken to social media to react to WWE releasing 18 on-screen talents earlier today.

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush opened up about WWE’s tendency to announce mass releases, taking to Twitter to write:

“Something’s gotta give. Things need to change. It’s unhealthy. It’s toxic. It’s soul snatching. It’s embarrassing. It’s ruining lives. It’s crushing hopes and dreams. Its contributing to mental health struggles. We’re living in a world full of facades, but the damages are real.”

“I wish WCW would’ve won.”
