Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Anyone related to La Resistance should be gone, even "Buff" Conway. I was at the Supershow this last Monday and he wrestled Shelton in a dark match and that is his new look. He looks like a slimmer Buff Bagwell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 I don't see how the hell they decided they'd done all the could have with Charlie Haas. And though the Dudleys were stale on their last run, their return would pop a crowd in rekindle an interest with the tag division. It looked like they had plans for Morgan too, so that was a bit of a surprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Yea, those shrinking rosters lead me to believe also that we're headed for a merged roster soon. Funny story above, though, about the dude who isn't answering his phone. That's classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest drdrainoscott Report post Posted July 6, 2005 A interesting/funny thing to note, according to the latest observer, Vince went to Lauranitis (sp?) and told him to fix up the tag division. That is why Balls and Axl are getting tryouts this month and they are looking at Doring and Roadkill as well. Just interesting that they would get rid of three teams on Smackdown after that (I'm couting Akio/Kidman as a team since they have teamed frequently on Velocity).

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Not a great source, but... Reasons For Dawn Marie, Jannetty and Dudley Boys' Release Submitted by Daniel Pena on Wednesday, July 6, 2005 at 6:27 PM EST # The Dudley Boyz, Bubba Ray and D’Von Dudley, were released because their contracts were coming up next month and they couldn't agree to money terms with WWE. With domestic house show business being horrible, this is no time to being asking for a raise. The Dudleyz are said to be looking at TNA and Japan as future options. # Marty Jannetty was released because of a domestic incident that occurred with his significant other. He was subsequently jailed. Well that and that they just didn't know what to do with him. # Dawn Marie had her contract bought out due to her forthcoming pregnancy. Plus with the Diva Search, WWE is getting the feeling that just about all the divas are expendable. Out with the old, in with the new. It didn't do Dawn Marie any favors that she happens to be 33 years old and aging with each passing year and WWE seems to be looking for hot 20-something's nowadays. Plus, many fans have noted at house shows that she was getting out of shape while observing her during bikini contests, although her pregnancy had to have played a part in her weight gain. Seeing how WWE had no use for an aging, pregnant woman, WWE just decided to let her loose. partial source - pwinsider.com credit: http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/2005_/arti.../1120688824.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In most companies, what we saw today from WWE happens monthly and not just 20 people but add another couple zeros to that. Because they are wrestlers, doesnt mean we should feel sympathy for them getting canned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
