WWE begin the releases

[Exslade ZX 0]

Because this is a shitload of releases.

 

Their entire roster is HUGE. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yea, but look at the lists above. A few more cuts and all they're really gonna have is sort of 'Main event/upper mid' guys. Even if it is a lot of them. And the rest are guys that would likely appear on Velocity/Heat. Other then that they won't have much left. But I guess if it does in fact cut down to one weekend show it makes sense.

[SuperJerk 0]

If they ARE, in fact, down to one weekend show. There are conflicting reports on that.

Bob Holly should NOT still have a job if they fired Haas.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

I think Holly will be gone soon now. I thought for sure he'd be safe, but I wouldn't say that anyone is safe now.

Lesnar is getting his old deal back.

 

I really liked the Haas and Holly team, so that one I don't like.

 

I just think firing Dawn Marie is such a low scummy move.

[EMAXSAUN 0]

I actually wonder if some of these releases are worked and they are planning on putting together a short ECW run.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Actually, I was thinking the same thing. If WWE let the public know about these releases too, and then in a couple of weeks Raw is in Philly, the "fired" superstars invade with Paul Heyman and we have ourselves, like you said, a short ECW run.

...and we know this because?

I agree with you bob. They could've at least kept her around until after the baby or something. I just hope the father of her baby is around or at least financially supportive and/or Dawn has kept some money away. Real classy, Vince.

Yeah, because, Maven, Haas & Jindrak were such huge ECW alumni.

[SuperJerk 0]

I wonder if this is the real reason they gave the entire roster the week off?

I thought I read it somewhere.

I was pulling for them to win the tag team straps. I was shocked at how well they worked together, as well as being so over with the fans.

[Astro7x 0]

Meltzer said he was expecting 8-10 *MORE* cuts beyond these wrestlers already.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I think that was before the Dudleys/Morgan was announced

I will only truely miss The Dudleys.

 

If I had to pick 5-8 more people to get released...

 

Scotty 2 Hotty

Funaki

Kenzo Suzuki (w/ Hiroko)

Tyson Tomko

Heidenreich

 

Then the other three...

Michelle McCool

Al Snow

Viscera

 

Anything other than those 8 will be a shock to me...

The Observer reported that Lesnar had verbally agreed to go back to the old deal and WWE would look bad in court if they tried to enforce a 10 year no compete clause against a guy who wants to come back and work.

Unless of course, Vince IS the father.

[The Mandarin 0]

Shelton Benjamin will probably be the biggest star to get fired. I mean, they're doing dick all with him now, so..

 

WGTT reformation in RoH. I want it. Now.

[Youth N Asia 0]

Hopefully the Dudleys will be taking more indy dates and I can get my 20*30 Buh Buh pic I had blown up signed.

 

And Charlie Haas? Piss on you, McMahon

well, they don't have to be all ECW alumni.

 

haha, I wasn't serious about all of that, but come on, they could do some stuff with some of the superstars for sure:

 

Dudleys - ECW mainstays

Charlie Haas - a great wrestler and could be used for it

Jackie Gayda - a woman that they could use for it

Dawn Marie - ECW valet

Maven - could be a great heel for it

Shannon Moore - would be awesome, as he is great a great talent

James Yun (Akio) - see above

Billy Kidman - see above

Spike Dudley - ECW mainstay

 

I'm just being a stupid mark now.

I still don't see him getting the axe, but you never know I guess. If anything useless trogs like Tomko and Grenier had BETTER be on the chopping block, that's for damn sure.

I'll repeat what I said earlier:

 

This is an indy promoter's wet dream.

[SinToxic 0]

Muto is having the biggest hard on right now, and the man has yet to wake up.

[Team Angle Pusher 0]

Can't believe The Dudleys, Charlie Haas and Maven got released so far. And I can't believe fucking Tomko and Suzuki HAVEN'T been released yet.

$10 says he goes straight for Morgan and/or the Duds.

[Golgo 13 0]

Then they better hope all this isn't to make room for a bit of indy raiding, like what they've been doing by going after Joe, Punk and Danielson.

[Youth N Asia 0]

Too bad Ian can't get some of the cruisers for the upcoming TPI tourney

[Guest jumpingbombangel]

Toldja they'd release Dawn Marie, pregnant or no. But the newlyweds too? And all 3 Dudleys? Heh. All for a Brock return and some titties.

Its as if Vince forgot that Jackie and Dawn had big titties themselves or something.

[Youth N Asia 0]

They'll get rid of someone with real charisma like Dawn, and sign another half dozen nameless "divas." The WWE actually makes me hate wrestling

[Exslade ZX 0]

Who said all these firings were to make room for the Divas? I seriously doubt they're getting payed that much, if anything high at all.

 

They'll get rid of someone with real charisma like Dawn

I take it you missed the last few years of what she did in the WWE...? She had a nice ass, but as a WWE character, to me at least, she won't be missed.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Yeesh...at the rate WWE is going with these cuts, you could almost start up another wrestling promotion with all the guys getting fired. Surprised they'd fire Dawn Marie while she is pregnant, but that's business I guess.

 

I'm a little surprised they let Charlie Hass go as well...it seemed like he had a lot more potential than what they did with him. Oh well.
