More workers to gt the boot ?? This week ?

[Guest glennsoe]

Who do you think will be the next 3 to get the boot from WWE ??

 

My guesses are;

 

* Sean O'Haire

* Orlando Jordan

* Val Venis

 

Who do you guys recon ??

I have a feeling that as soon as WMXX is over, Ultimo will be gone. He's just sticking around to accomplish his dream of wrestling at a WM (which he probably will in that rumoured cruiserweight battle royal).

 

Goldberg will be gone too, but that's because they just won't resign him.

[Guest Goodear]

Orlando and Venis are probably fine actually.

 

Orlando is one of those OVW projects who never seem to get cutr regardless of performace. Hell, they didn't even cut Nathan Jones and he's maybe one of the worst wrestlers of all time.

 

Val has probably gotten to that 'WWE lifer' designation that lets him have emplyment for as long as he wants it now like Bradshaw, Gunn, and Holly. When you get to be in the company for as long as Venis has, Vince is really incredibly slow to get rid of him.

 

O'Haire as well as Lance Storm shouldn't be making any long term travel plans or buying new houses.

[Guest Choken One]

Lance Storm HAS to be my odds on Favorite...

 

I'm thinking they will keep him long enough that He and Benoit can FINALLY (I believe Storm said they have NEVER wrestled) have a match at a house show in Storm's Hometown, Storm goes over (non-title of course)...and then they quietly cut Storm and he can work a limited schedule in Japan (where he'd be big) and do some ROH work and stuff...He hates the traveling nature of the business and wants to be with his family and is getting old (34 I believe)...

Jordan was trained by ROCKY JOHNSON~!, so apparently he's bulletproof

[Austin3164life 0]

I'm surprised the WWE does not want to resign Goldberg. I'd assume they would have a feud between he and Brock for a while, not just one match.

[Guest Choken One]

Goldberg is WAYYY to costly and has a ego problem and let's face it, aside from a potential Angle with Austin (which would be only meaningful at Mania)...Goldberg has no use.

 

I still believe the whole purpose to signing 'Berg was for Brock to squash him in MSG on the grandest stage of all...I mean Brock/'Berg was "rumored" for Mania almost right away...just like Angle/Brock was when Brock debuted.

Storm's kinda limited these days. Not necessarily by "WWE style" but by injuries. He mentions (but doesn't actually complain) about the pain and the injuries he lives through everyday, and I haven't heard of him having a set career goal he wants to achieve.

 

Storm might just stick around to make enough money to retire and until he feels he can't wrestle well enough anymore.

 

Ultimo and Goldberg are probably going to be gone after Mania.

[2GOLD 0]

I'd say Tommy Dreamer might get cut unless Heyman is protecting him, which is entirely possible.

 

Goldberg, Dragon and Stevie will be gone after Wrestlemania. And I bet Nick Dinsmore gets cut sooner than later.

[Guest Choken One]

How can heyman protect Dreamer?

 

He has very little influence...and is pretty much just a hired character like Bischoff...

[Guest Goodear]

I forgot Bill DeMott even had a job. He'll be gone as soon as he's not hurt. He is hurt right?

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Velocity commentator w/ Josh

[Guest Choken One]

I thought he was the new announcer for Velocity?

[Highland 0]

I can see Storm getting cut. He's always said he has no plans to wrestle when he's 40 and he's already 34, so I don't see him being in the ring for too much longer.

[Celtic Jobber 0]

WWE will probably release most of these guys sometime this year:

 

Paul London

Nunzio

Lance Storm

The Cat

Bill Demott

Al Snow

Christopher Nowinski

Funaki

Ultimo Dragon

Stevie Richards

Spike Dudley

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

Ernest Miller has to be released, or at least negated to Velocity. Preferably the former.

 

What about Jon Heidenreich? I doubt that he'll get over without the aid of a 'blind patriotism' gimmick.

 

There no way that I would let Paul London, Nunzio, Lance Storm, Bill DeMott, Al Snow, Christopher Nowinkski, Funaki, Ultimo Dragon, Steven Richards or Spike Dudley go. All of these men are very good in their respective parts/divisions, and I'd push Storm in the Intercontinental Championship hunt.

 

I think that it is rather obvious what needs to be done with Funaki and Ultimo Dragon.

 

Just as long as he stops taking Table bumps feet-first...

 

The way I see it - if they're dead weight and not getting over no matter what, that warrants a release.

 

Paul London

Nunzio

Lance Storm

The Cat

Bill Demott

Al Snow

Christopher Nowinski

Funaki

Ultimo Dragon

Stevie Richards

Spike Dudley

 

All of those guys (except for Miller) can do something entertaining in the ring. Sure, some of them may not be as skilled in different things as others, but all of them have something to offer (except Miller).

 

They should not be released. Not yet, anyway.

[Guest Coffey]

...but Bill DeMott retired as a wrestler. That's why he's a commentator now.

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

I'll admit that I can't see WWE Velocity, Sunday Night Heat, Confidential or any other WWE programming apart from Raw, SmackDown! and the Pay-Per-Views down here, but I didn't mention Bill DeMott in the ring at all.

[Superstring 0]

Paul London

Nunzio

Lance Storm

The Cat

Bill Demott

Al Snow

Christopher Nowinski

Funaki

Ultimo Dragon

Stevie Richards

Spike Dudley

I don't think anyone doubts that most of those guys if given a chance could get over (Al Snow is top of that list for me) but this is the WWE we're talking about here.

 

Entertainment isn't the issue - its look and size that counts 9 times out of 10 and non of these workers outside of Bill have either a look or size that appeals to Vinny Mac which at the end of the day is what really counts.

[JoeDirt 0]

My guesses:

 

O'Haire

Storm

Dreamer

Dinsmore

Ultimo

Funaki

Richards

Rosey

 

And what about Test? They've pretty much been burying him lately.

More WWE Releases Likely To Come

Posted By Ashish on 02.11.04

 

Spanky, Gowen, Kanyon, who is next?

 

It appears as if more WWE releases are on the way. Some may be announced as early as this week. No other details are currently available.

 

WWE has released some high profile names in the past few weeks including Brian Kendrick, Zach Gowen, and Chris Kanyon.

They say this every week.

 

I don't believe one of these websites.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

I believe there will be more turnover between now and Mania.

 

But this "news" from 1wrestling is just there.

[Guest Choken One]

Test is Shane's Best friend...Kinda like DDP in WCW.

[JoeDirt 0]

Test is Shane's Best friend...Kinda like DDP in WCW.

Yeah, but wasn't Steve Blackman too?

[Guest hunger4unger]

They didn't release Kendrick, he quit.

 

As for the others, well it's hardly groundbreaking stuff. I could see both coming a mile off.

 

To see who is being released next think: Are they being used on TV? If not, can they bring anything to the table and if not :boom:

[Guest Monday Night Jericho]

Storm goes over (non-title of course)...and then they quietly cut Storm and he can work a limited schedule in Japan (where he'd be big)

 

Storm shouldn't go over Benoit, ever, particually if Benoit was champion. And when Storm worked in Japan he wasn't anything outside of a low card junior, I doubt he'd be big at all.

AHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAA

[Guest hunger4unger]

Who do you think will be the next 3 to get the boot from WWE ??

 

My guesses are;

 

* Sean O'Haire

* Orlando Jordan

* Val Venis

 

Who do you guys recon ??

 

- Glenn -

Not O'Haire as I do see potential in him. He is an okay worker but has a great look.

 

Possibly Jordan.

 

No way Val Venis. He's charasmatic, can cut a very good promo, in good shape and can WORK. He can hang with Benoit, Angle etc. He hasn't been given the time as of yet.

[Guest Corino 1000]

My guesses would be Billy Gun, Chuck Palumbo, Ernest Miller, Morgan sent back to OVW or fired, Rikichi, Slvan Greniar, Ultimo, and Goldberg.
