Meltzer says the Dudleys' contracts expire in a couple months, so I assume they'll be working TNA at that point. The "ECW" reunion tour would really pick up steam with them on board.

Feh. The only ones that even remotely surprise me are the Dudleys as they have the name power and the work ethic to be long term wwe mainstays. And maybe Jannetty.. but only because I wanted to see what he could do since I missed his recent televised matches.

Unfortunately there was only so far you could take him, given that his character from the very start spoke no English.

 

Who cares about character. Hell Yokozuna got to the point he was staring at the camera giving promos when all he could say was bonzai. Undertaker is from death vally again, being the walking dead and all, when he was a tobacco chewing redneck from texas a while back.

 

Aiko, or Jimmy is from Atlanta. he can speak english. In fact he sounds like a fucking hick.

 

Eh. Granted... Still, Yokozuna had years for that kind of development (though I wasn't watching at the time, so I'll go with it) and Taker's changes from dead guy to satanic leader to redneck biker back to dead guy were all awfully ridiculous things that succeeded against all odds and 'logic.'

 

And I know all that about Yang, but for all we know the audience at large doesn't and were never given a reason to believe otherwise. In all, we'll just agree that I stuck my foot in my mouth with my statement.

 

Anyway, onto other thoughts, the Dudleys release was a shock. Even if their contracts expire in no more than a couple months, at least they could've squeezed a feud out with MNM in that time, and they're still over and can sell merchandise.

 

I'm gonna miss Haas, WWE dropped the ball on him when they split him up from Jackie, he was over before then with very minimal effort. But hopefully he (and maybe Jackie) will show up in TNA or ROH, and if he does, I think he'll be big.

Well I haven't been glued to WWE.com all morning, so it was news to me, heh.

Wow, Cornette (he's the head guy at OVW right?) must be banging his head on the walls right now. He works and works and works you know, training guys, and getting them WWE ready, and from what I hear, most of the time, better then WWE ready, and then they give the person a stupid gimmick half the time and release him a month or two later. Wow, sucks for him.

 

I for one wanted Matt Morgan to say. Well..guess I better go erase half the superstars I created on No Mercy >_>. I loved his finisher for one. And I actually could have seen him and Show in a credible feud.

 

But meh..at least most of the releases are people that weren't being used anyways, so it shouldnt' be no biggie. Like the Dudleyz, and Haas..yea, it sucks (well haas) but we haven't really seen them in months anyways, although Haas got a short run on top.

 

I now see a lot of guys being called up in the next few months, Jeter, Capotelli, uhh Snuka's son whatever his name is possibly. Because this is a shitload of releases.

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

Firing Marty without actually using him or Gangrel on TV...nice. Well, Lesnar will get his large sum of money. They could have fed all these guys to Lesnar.

 

Something tells me that if Lesnar is the one crawling back, that he won't be getting that high of a dollar-deal as previously thought.
