On Friday, it was announced that multiple wrestlers were parting ways with WWE including Braun Strowman and Shayna Baszler. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following about the releases…

“Many of those cut were perceived as not working hard in training. And if you don’t work hard in training, there’s so many people who do. And at this point, if the feeling is you’re not working hard in training – I saw the term ‘lazy’ – the ones who are lazy are gonna be gone, and the ones who didn’t stand out are gonna be gone.” (quote courtesy of WrestleTalk.com)

Gigi Dolin, who was one of the people let go, issued a response to Meltzer’s comments…

“When I wasn’t traveling to work for either of the two companies I was working for, I trained very hard 3-4 days a week, bumping my ass off and doing cardio drills with one of the best/toughest coaches I’ve worked with. And worked out every single day. With live events every other weekend. So yeah I don’t wanna hear this lol. The way my body feels says otherwise.”

Cora Jade also chimed in…

“This, plus can’t forget having to go to my own gym outside of work after ‘strength and conditioning’ that wasn’t doing anything for me other than get me body shamed by my bosses, coworkers, and fans 🙂 crazy!”
