    I'd go so far as to say that in terms of merchandising, he's worth more than everyone they've released, combined.

    Add Heyman in & you've got something HOT.

    I'd love to see the NBT get back together, too. Namely just Mike Sanders, Chuck Palumbo, O'Haire, & Jindrak (if he gets a new look, he's so goddam bland).

    TNA could really benefit from all these releases.
    And I'm sure if Heyman doesn't re-sign with the company, RVD would follow him to TNA or wherever he goes. That would be *big* ...

    And now I pray that Venis is cut. :/

    What he said was Last Night there was 8-10 more cuts coming, with the 7 already announced I would think that leaves 2 or 3 maybe to come still.

    Then all these people will return to work and be given a payrise and a guaranteed title shot within the next month.

    I guess Vince was right, with the draft and all these releases he is shaking things up. But why release the Dudley's?

    Nothing? It's really not likely that they're firing these people simply to bring Brock back.

    Personally, I don't see Masters getting released soon.

    I, along with several others, wanted Charlie Haas to go over to Raw and either fued or tag with Shelton at least for a little while

    Dawn Marie was a high profile diva until she got pregnant. I always liked her and hope she ends up somewhere good after a hiatus. But the Dudleys is a shock to me. I really did hope they were going to fix up the tag division and move it to smackdown, but you're most established tag team is gone? I just don't understand the people that make these decisions

    The Dudleys weren't exactly released. Their contract expired.

    Simply because they've been with WWE for so long.

    Half of me doesn't want Morley to go, the other does. I'm not sure which wins out right now. I think i'd rather see glances of him on TV until there's somewhere or note for him to go

    Morley could be SHIT HOT

    ROFL. WWE must be lower on funds than we all thought, or they are crazy. Creative is obviously only interested in "writing" for the main event.

    FUCK THE WWE! GO. . . SOME OTHER PROMOTION!

    Fair point. I'd think Holly is more safe than Morley though

    Holly is Funaki-like safe

    *Watches Funaki get released now*

    After all the folks we've seen WWE release both this year and last year, i think it's pretty safe to say, 'no one is safe'. i wouldn't be surprised to see anyone let go at this pont, unless they're high-mid card or above.

    CONSPIRACY THEORY AHEAD!

    I smell bullshit...

    I think all these superstars are going to return under an ECW name (or something similar?)... The Dudley Boys being released is beyond hideous! It really is.

    15 people is unbelievable...

    And a BIG story on Lesnar on WWE.com, fuel to the fire?

    /is confused as hell to what is going on/

    I don't think we can hide our heads in the sand anymore and pretend WWE are doing just fine. This level of roster thinning is scary, seemingly unnecessary, and their choices are utterly stupid and ruthless. I remember from Foley's books how he insisted Vince McMahon really was a caring, generous man to his employees, and would look after them in times of adversity or crisis. If the WWE are cutting a pregnant woman to save on her surely insignificant salary, they're either cruel or in trouble.

    Linda's caginess at the conference call has had me worried too. While the raw numbers suggest the WWE are still turning a profit and are in a good financial shape, their decisions suggest otherwise. Is Vince McMahon turning into King Lear and just making wild, insane decisions that his advisers are too scared to say no to?

    EDIT: Hey, they were right in one of the Matt Hardy threads, people are starting to suspect releases are a work now. If WWE were to try something like that, I would be very pleased to take back what I've said about them, but their creative direction lately has just NOT been towards anything revolutionary or even intelligent. I can't take a company seriously that thinks another Diva Search is a good idea.

    Theres a possibilty that TNA could get the Hardyz and the Dudleys. If TNA wants to ever get serious now is the time.

    All I know is that OJ and Rosey must be elated that they have titles or they'd be shitting themselves.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see either Basham get released, either. Or Tajiri or Regal. It seems that WWE likes to piss people off with releases, and at least one more "controversial" relrease is bound to happen in the next 8-10. It could very well be Tajiri or Regal.

    Regal, as has already been pointed out, is a good friend of Hunter.

    Marty is a good friend of Shawn and that didn't help him

    HHH didn't pull a favour for HBK in 01, I wouldn't bet on him stopping WWE from releasing Regal.

    Eitherway, I can't see him going

    I'm just trying to take a stab at some of the controversial guys who could be released.

    And wasn't Morgan close to Orton or someone? And they fired Kidman, who's wife certainly wasn't thrilled I'm sure. Neither is Hunter, but I think if they wanted him gone, he'd be gone. I don't think he'll be released honestly, I just think it's possible.

    Anyway, It is highly doubtful...



    At this rate they'll be fucked if a few major stars got injured in a big match...

    Not if they've got CM PUNK on the way.

    And they could always hire Raven & Steve Corino to come in & stir shit up.

    And the could bring Morley & Christian up to the top of the cards.

    CM punk is great. I hope he is unchanged when he makes it on T.V. I don't want Edwird Punke.

    They might as well go ahead and physically take the tag titles from both brands and trash them...I mean they have done it over the past few months figuratively, just go ahead and do it now for good...

    A big reason for the talent cuts of the last day is the combination of a poor earnings quarter, which was announced last week, as well as the fact that WWE will lose over $10 million in ad money for the next calendar year when they go to the USA network.

    They are also apparently freeing up some money for the return of Brock Lesnar.

    This is just the worst time to be an internet fan, isn't it? I'd rather these guys just quietly disappeared and in a year's time you think "Where did he/she go?" rather than actually knowing that good, talented workers are being ruthlessly cut.

    8-10 cuts still to go? Thats madness. If this is cost-cutting again, they might want to try another approach. How about not having a $250, 000 Diva Search? How about not making movies that will almost certainly bomb in the cinemas or will just be released straight to video? In fact, if they focused on their own product and stopped trying to reach out into other entertainment mediums, they might not have to release loyal workers for absolutely no reason.

    Well friends, it's finally happened the WWE has lost its mind. The first wave of cuts didn't surprise me, except Jindrak. But this second group is shocking as hell, Haas and Gayda (newlyweds), Dawn Marie (pregnant), Maven, and the Dudleyz, WTF!!!!! The only reason for releasing this much talent is they need the money for Lesnar, who they sort of need anyway. Lets face it they do need Lesnar back on Smackdown! Think of the potential feuds for him including Batista, Randy Orton and Chris Benoit. Plus he'll have instant heat as a heel for how he left WWE after WM20.

    I don't see why everyone is complaining that much, yeah its a surprise but who cares?

    Dawn Marie just wrestles in a hot outfit and people complain that divas take up time.

    Half the people released hardly ever wrestle. Haas hasnt wrestled for a while and lets face it, hes not getting a push.

    The only ones I can agree with people about being a big deal are The dudley boys.

    How about giving Brock Lesnar a crappy contract. WWE doesn't need him so why fire all these guys and give him another high pay contract? Let him work for a year with a small contract.

    Fucking Retards, I am in shock, HOW, HOW could they be so DUMB. with the state of the tag division and they release one of the best tag teams EVER. Haas had SO much potential just a small push and he would have been top stuff. okay Jackie and Dawn I can take. but Marty Janetty????? what about the Rockers reunion??? Janetty proved he was worth it in his match against Angle pre WM21

    The WWE took them off the air despite not being injured, simply to "freshen their characters". Then they forgot about them. It's WWE's fault entirely, the Dudleyz don't need to get more over, but they're not going to be doing the company any good when the company deliberately chooses not to use them.

    I don't understand.

    If they replace all these (or even 1 for every 2) - It's going to add a huge weight onto the creative side, and come on, they can barely deal with it now. It will also take a while to establish persona's... Look at Batista, Orton and Cena - all started with sucky generic gimmicks - It takes time.

    If they don't replace all these guys - It's going to add a strain on the wrestlers who tour and house show... The schedule is bad enough for some already.

    Are they going to cut back on dates, or are they readying themselves for a mini-slump to re-invent themselves?

    I'm not too bothered, bar Marty and Dudleys...

    It's just mindboggling!

    The Dudleys could have really improved the tag team scene but thats down the drain.

    But yeah, firing a pregnant woman is pretty bad.

    Its their business. They do what they wanna do.

    I actually would rather see Brock then most of the people fired.

    Eh....maybe they will offer Matt Hardy a gigantic contract?

    I'd just typed out a rather long post centred on my anger at the release of Haas.

    Let's look at this list..


    Matt Morgan

    I thought he was a decent big man, but he was incredibly boring under this recent 'stuttering gimmick'. I think he had some decent potential, but it's really not much of a loss.

    Charlie Haas

    Stupid fucking WWE. What a joke, when did they once try properly to push him as a singles competitor?

    Jackie Gayda

    Good move on WWE's part, but she has more of a place than Michelle/Candace/Candelle/Rochelle/Rochace etc.

    Marty Jannetty

    Well that's a bit shit. I can understand the reasoning behind it, considering this recent jail thing, but still annoyed. A lot of people were looking forward to a Marty return.

    Dawn Marie

    Not too bothered, but she's better than the Divacrap.

    Mark Jindrak

    Good move WWE.

    Maven

    I liked him, but the WWE are the professionals here (apparently). They obviously thought he wasn't up to it.

    Shannon Moore

    Well he was never going to do anything worthwhile.

    James Yun (Akio)

    Same here.

    David Heath (Gangrel)

    What the fuck was the point in signing him? I would have liked to see the Vampire gimmick back brifely, but not too much of a loss.

    Billy Kidman

    Same as the other two cruiserweights.

    Spike Dudley

    Good move WWE, he's shit.

    Kevin Fertig

    I'd heard he was a decent mat wrestler. A shame as he had a good look as well.

    Dudleys

    The WWE needs tag teams, so let's get rid of the sole established tag team left! Stupid move, but they were getting a bland.

    Class. Pure class.

    Yet they have the NERVE to slate how Eric Bischoff treated talent?
    wwe.com says that these are negotiated releases. We have no idea of the terms. If Dawn Marie had a year or two left on her contract she may well have been more than willing to take her release and take the cash pay-out that came with it. Being pregnant, she was going to be off screen from here on in and would only be earning the bare minimum.

    Whats there to do with the Dudley's? I agree they were a little stale for awhile but who isn't. Its not hard to book the Dudley's anyway, its not like they even have storylines for tag teams anyway.

    I really, really am praying that The Dudleys will be the biggest name released. Because after The Dudleys... we get into people like Paul London, Shelton Benjamin and MNM....

    Negotiated doesn't really mean anything.
    It just as often means that they get the choice between a pay cut and a release

    ALSO
    How the fuck can they justify releases on the grounds of finances, yet run another Diva Search? Much like they put out stupid money for the last Tough Enough...

    I'm just saying theres no point saying "OMG they fired a pregnant woman!!!111" when no one knows what actually happened. For all you or I know she asked to be on the list.

    if it omes out in the next couple of days or weeks that she's really upset about this, etc then I'll definately agree that its bang out of order. But I suspect it probably isn't like that.

    I just got off the phone with Matt, and he has told me WWE called him just a little while ago and released him from his contract.
    Thats from PWInsider, I don't think theres much negotiating going on with these releases.

    Is it just me, or are they totaling their "blockbuster 11-superstar trade" by releasing nearly everyone involved? What the hell was the point of that trade if they're releasing these people?

    If they let Hiroko go I'm going to eat someone. What is going on at Stamford? Is Vince pissed they didn't invite him to G8?

    I'm sure someone could come in and say the same about the Dudleys, though. They were likely being paid a large amount and with them pulling the 'financial reasons' card, it'd make sense to let go of talent that are paid loads that they can't be arsed to put on TV. Still wouldn't make it any less flawed and stupid though

    To be fair, I don't appreciate being depicted like the rest of the dribbling retards in the wrestling forums for getting emotional about a release that to be fair, stinks of WCW

    EDIT: No problems with Kenzo. He never fit in.

    I do have to wonder though, why go to the effort of trading these people?

    They haven't released them all. But yeah they have released fair share of them.

    edit: My bad. Only two of the guys traded. Three if you count Hiroko who I assume goes with Suziki

    Something does seem awfully interesting about these cuts, the way they're going about it on WWE.Com..making it one of the "main stories".

    Add to that everything that's going on about Brock Lesnar, I can't help but think that something is going on. Something....different.

    The more I think about it, its not like these releases are going to affect any show besides Heat and Velocity.

    I dont think so, lately whenever people have been released, they have been making it main page stories...I think Vince is just getting to be more of a dick and just announcing it to the world front page

    I was thinking the same thing. The web site just doesn't look right with the Lesnar stuff and the releases.

    I bet money the next name on that list will be either Al Snow, Eugene or Val Venis.

    Maybe it's a work.

    WWE will say that Brock was signed to a big contract and thus had to release 10-15 wrestlers. They "show up" and beat the living snot out of Brock, because they're "angry".

    I can dream, right? :-(

    It will be worse , they'll explain the missing wrestlers by saying Brock ate them, giving him a new gimmick.

    I know, sorry. don't take it personally.

    As for the Dudleys, surely it would be more stupid to keep paying two massive wage earners who they have no idea of anything for. Theres no real tag division on either show, and the Dudleys have been ready to go for months but they've had nothng for them.

    Of everyone who has gone and will go I really wouldn't worry about Bubba & D'Von. They'll be hot properties on the indies and TNA will no doubt be more than interested if they want to go that route. Plus if the tag situation in the WWE ever gets sorted out they'll probably get another call from Vince.

    I would enjoy that, G. I would enjoy it if somehow all of the "released" stars join together, maybe even behind a leader like Paul E. or something, and change things up a bit...I am not saying an ECW revival, but ya know...It is what everyone is wishing for when they are thinking invasions.

    It's not a work. And if it is, it's a damn good one.

    The cuts make sense with the loss of ad revenue coming up.

    I guess I can see the logic in these releases. From a persona perspective, it sucks for any person to lose their job.

    However, from a business sense, it makes a lot of sense. What do you do when business is hurting? You cut down on costs. And I guess tht easiest way to cut costs is to release talent.

    With Sunday Night Heat going soon, there may not be a secondary show anymore. So, a lot of the relased talent would have just sat on the side onad worked only House Shows anyways.

    It's unfortunate, seeing good talent like Hass, Akio, Moore, Maven gone.

    I'm number two

    This is a pretty big thing, though. When all is said and done, over two dozen wrestlers will have likely been released, along with the re-signing of Brock Lesnar. Both are pretty big things.

    And they released Charlie

    According to PWI:

    Jannetty was signed with the hopes that they could run a Rockers reuinion on the House Shows over the summer. A series of legal troubles involving a domestic dispute and other problems put an end to that.

    The Dudleyz were holding out for more money and WWE didn't bite. They'll probobly be back some day, because they are too hot a talent to keep free. They were kept off TV to prevent them from getting any leverage in negotiations. They are considering TNA and Japan as possibilities.

    Dawn Marie's contract was bought out. WWE doesn't have much use for her in the role in which they normally use women, with her being pregnant.

    Charlie Haas just wasn't over, and wasn't worth what they were paying him. There's been a running joke int he back that when you're music plays, and you come out, and the crowd just stares blankly at you, you're getting the Haas pop. Unless TNA makes him an offer, he's probobly going to get away from pro wrestling.

    Jackie Gayda was just another pretty face in the crowd, and she was deemed unescessary.

    Matt Morgan knew his time was up when Carlito was moved to RAW. Plus, with Brock coming back, they don't want any other big guys doing the F-5.

    Bit Vito is coming in to team with Nunzio, so Nunzio is safe for now.

    I just find it suspect, really. It seems to me that it may have been easier to claim there's nothing for them and to let their contracts run out than it is to invest time in them when they don't want to shell out the money on them anymore

    They'll definately be hot on the indy scene, but you still have to question the logic in this kind of release when you think about where WWE are willing to put their money instead.

    I'm not surprised a lot of people would show up in this thread. It's become almost a yearly tradition.
