Let the spring cleaning begin

<font color=goldenrod>Paul Burchill and Shane Helms have been future endeavor'd.

Sad about The Ripper, could give a fuck about The Hurricane.

[Hanso Amore]

DOnt get arrested unless you are atop guy

What about Katie Lea?

[Jordan]

Well looks like TNA will get a new X-Division star to join up with Moore and Hardy

[CSL]

The real band is back together!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I figured the writing was on the wall for Burchill. Not only did they seem to run out of stuff for him to do, but Katie Lea shows up on Raw, dropping "Burchill" from her name but keeping the same gimmick. That's when I officially knew Burchill was toast.

Feel terrible about Helms though, guy was super-over and I would have liked to have seen him on SmackDown. But again, I figured he was doomed once they made light of his arrest and he proceeded to not even be involved in the last couple episodes of ECW with the rest of the roster.</font>

The following is from WWE.com:
WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Superstar Shane Helms (Hurricane) as of today February 26, 2010. We wish Shane Helms (Hurricane) the best in all future endeavors.

Vince McMahon did. Hurricane and The Ripper are GONESKI!!

This is a better thread title.

[Damian Rey]

I'm super bummed about Burchill. This is a guy who they missed the boat on. Good in ring worker, good style, look. Don't about the mic work, but I liked him and though he could've been a decent addition to the SmackDown mid card.

I'm pretty meh about Helms as I was not digging the Hurricane reinvetion. As a worker I liked Helms, and like Burchill, he could've easily been supplanted into the mid card on SmackDown and worked well.

Oh well.

[Ermaximus]

New TNA tag champs, 3 Count 2010. Hardy, Helms, and Moore.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Doing a quick browse-through of the WWE roster...when you throw out people who had been released/quit or people who had been sent down to OVW, only The Undertaker, Triple H, Kane, Edge, William Regal, and Kung Fu Naki had been technically a part of the main roster longer than Helms. Pretty crazy.</font>

[Anybody Thrilla]

Shawn Michaels?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Or are you not counting his hiatus?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Also, I don't think Kung Fu Naki is going to surivive this season's spring cleaning. We should all be preparing ourselves to say goodbye to Slam Master J as well.

[Triple Naitch]

Yoshi is an upgraded version of Funaki. There's no need for him anymore.

[Ermaximus]

Also, I don't think Kung Fu Naki is going to surivive this season's spring cleaning. We should all be preparing ourselves to say goodbye to Slam Master J as well.

I think Kozlov is right behind them tbh. Possibly Knox as well.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't know, I think Knox is safe for now. They need a menacing heel jobber.

[ClockShot]

That time of year already?

Either Creative or Vince's fault for Burchill. Guy had talent but nobody had a clue what to do with him. Capt. Burchill, The Ripper, all great gimmicks, but didn't go anywhere.

Injurie(s) got the better of Helms. Came back and didn't do nothing.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I think Kung Fu Naki is safe at least as far as company employment is concerned. He never wrestles anymore but he'll more than likely slot in as a road agent. Wouldn't surprise me if they just took his profile off of WWE.com without notice one day.

I can see Slam Master J sticking around solely to tag with Jimmy Wang Yang. But, if NXT ends and all of the rookies get promoted to the main roster (which I THINK is the plan), Yang will probably get paired up with Skip Sheffield instead. So yeah, SMJ going wouldn't be surprising.

Charlie Haas might be out soon, as he is rarely ever used. I thought Haas and Knox might wind up being a regular team but that doesn't quite seem to be the case. Primo's also a guy I could see getting axed.

I was surprised to see that Tyler Reks is still employed, but they keep having him run dark match heel promos. So I dunno, maybe he'll get a chance to do something.</font>

[DAMN iNATOR]

Slam Master J, Kung Fu Naki, and Jimmy Wang Yang should probably be let go soon as they really haven't done too much with any of them except to try (and fail miserably, I might add...) to have SMJ & JWY team up on a couple occasions as the "ATL Boyz" or something stupid...wouldn't really miss any of them a single bit.

[Anybody Thrilla]

If TPWW did spring cleaning, DAMN iNATOR would be in the first round of cuts, that's for sure.

[Outsider]

Well at least he can start using the Vetrebreaker again :(

[Chavo Classic]

I'm surprised Burchill lasted as long as he did. As a fan, I'm glad as this might be a good move for him. He's had a long payday in the big-time and can now go back to really doing what he does best - wrestling - on the indy circuit. I think TNA might be a step too far for him.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't see why he would need to use the Vertebreaker at Burger King.

[Rammsteinmad]

*Prays Charlie Haas survives the Spingcleaning.*

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, I too am surprised Burchill lasted this long. They kept bringing him back over and over again, trying to push him with a variety of gimmicks, but he never caught on.

[Londoner]

*Prays Charlie Haas survives the Spingcleaning.*

Got a feeling he'll be next.

[Loose Cannon]

Half these guys are are mentioning I don't even know. Like this Slam Master J. Who the hell is this Jabroni?

And I didn't know Haas was still there. Is Benjamin still there?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>WHAT THE FUCK

Maria's been released too. Now THAT is a shocker.</font>

[Innovator]

FUCK

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Seriously, she's gotta be in my Top 5 Hottest Divas of All-Time if I were to make a list...probably #1 on Current Divas. Dammit.

Gotta go to her photo page and stock up before it's removed.</font> :shifty:

[VSG]

Holy Crap you are right! "WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Diva Maria as of today February 26, 2010. We wish Maria the best in all future endeavors."

I guess she requested the release rather than WWE giving up on her, especially with her winning the slammy and being involved with that Matt Hardy storyline.

Benjamin is taking part in MITB again i believe. Either way we certainly haven't helped Haas's case by reminding Vince he still has a contract.:D

[Anybody Thrilla]

Maria? Seriously? She was just on Superstars.

[ClockShot]

Maria too. Caught me off guard. We're all in anticipation hoping Jillian would get the ax and we get Maria instead.

Oh well, last month she filled in for Munn for a day on Attack of the Show. She did alright if I do say so myself.

[Loose Cannon]

wait, they seriously made Terry Gordy's son be called Slam Master J? WTF

[Loose Cannon]

Maria is hot, very hot, but my eyes are all over Maryse these days

Maria Kanellis, who was released this afternoon by World Wrestling Entertainment, commented on her departure from the organization on her Twitter account. She wrote:

“Alright guys let’s talk. I did not ask for my release. I was released. I am still going to kick ass in other areas!! I am excited about the future! But I am sad about never getting the Championship. I am sad about not getting the chance to go to Wrestlemania again. Passion is my Motivation! Time to Sing! Time to work for Charity! Time to Dance! Time to be Alive again! Much love to my FANS, my FAMILY, the DIVAS, and my FRIENDS! There is a bright new future when one door closes another opens! Bring on the Doors! Spanks and Kisses”

[RGWhat316]

This is pretty messed up. I was a fan of Burchill, but WWE obviously didnt know how to use him. Helm's injuries and arrest probably led to his demise. But Maria too?? That doesnt make any sense at all. They have been promoting her on Celebrity Apprentice, she was just diva of the year, and she has been used actively lately. So I am definitely disappointed in this one.

[Jeritron]

I can't believe girls put cocks in their mouth and suck them

[Jeritron]

I love how every guy that ever laces up a pair of boots in WWE that doesn't make the main event is misused.
Maybe he didn't know how to use WWE?

[teamXtremist]

fck im going to miss maria thought she had what it took to eventually be a champion

helms is better off in tna with moore and jeff now to get matt over there

as for burchill in ring he was awesome but never got a fair shake imo

Well, "Pirate" Paul was scrapped because Vince hadn't heard of Pirates of the Caribbean, so he assumed that NO ONE had heard of Pirates of the Caribbean.

[Mr. C]

I just realized Paul Burchill and The Hurricane feuded with each other not too long ago. Now they get released on the same day. WWE better not mess with Goldust. I want Goldust on RAW. Hopefully, they see how hard he’s worked and keep him around.

Also, I’ve always wanted to see the team of Shark Boy and The Hurricane. Super Helms to TNA!

[#1-norm-fan]

Maria!?! That's insane. They've kept her along all this time and now they release her just before she's on Celebrity Apprentice? Wouldn't WWE want to take advantage of the publicity from that? What odd timing. It would however be funny if TNA signed her and took all the pub for it.

Somebody post some of them tittys quick while my moms is gone

[Mr. C]

Goldust was feuding with Sheamus not too long ago. :shifty:

Could he become WWE Champion? It could be done, but would have to be done right. All sorts of fans can get with Goldust just because he's who he is. He looks better in the ring than he has in a while and can be entertaining, so why not? There's a lot you can do with the character before they "got nothing for him."

[Fignuts]

Couldn't care less about maria, tbh.

[Dorkchop]

is Torrie Wilson the only Diva in WWE to leave on her own terms after posing nude in Playboy?

[Dorkchop]

Will Helms be a super hero in TNA? Will he have a terrible knock of of his last theme in WWE? Will he have the exact same gimmick and somehow manage to put over WWE in promos?

Find out in 90 days or in one more sentence. Yes he will.

STAY IN THE BACK! THERE'S A TSUNAMI COMING THROUGH!

From PWInsider:

World Wrestling Entertainment also released referee Scott Armstrong today. Armstrong was hired shortly after the company launched the ECW brand in 2006. Armstrong, son of Southern legend Bob Armstrong, also refereed for WCW following a long in-ring career. A number of WWE workers were really bummed hearing he was let go as he was well liked by the wrestlers.

Can't say that I care, hate his refereeing.

lol what? How do you hate someones refereeing?

[Xero]

Maybe hate's a strong word, but I don't like the way he counts, which is like 80% of noticeable refereeing.

[jerichoholicninja]

His count was weird and long. However, he seemed to be the number 2 or 3 ref as he usually did the main events if Mike Chioda or Little Naitch didn't.

[Juan]

Maybe hate's a strong word, but I don't like the way he counts, which is like 80% of noticeable refereeing.

lol are you serious?

[Xero]

Yes.

[Juan]

I dunno, seems like kind of a dumb thing to notice or even get upset at.

Just my 2 cents

[Xero]

Who said I was upset? I don't like his counting, that's all.

And I notice stupid things like that, I'm kind of ADD with background stuff.

[Juan]

So what is it about his counting that you don't like?

[Xero]

Too slow and the way he actually hit the mat.

[Metal Gear Yoshi]

To be fair I've heard people talk about this in other forums, Armstrong's counting that is.

[screech]

Only ref gripe I really have is on Hebner, and how he kicks his legs out on a two count. Ruins suspense for me.

[Favre4Ever]

Maria is really hot and will be sorely missed. However, I'm glad I won't have to see her in a match again.

As for Helms, here's another example of a guy with all the talent in the world, but he just wasn't going to go over in the WWE. He might make MONEY in the WWE, and he might have had a degree of job security for quite some time, but he was never going to be used to his full potential. I hope some big things happen for him in the independent circuit, or even TNA.

[DLVH84]

I guess Bullet Bob won't be going into the HoF this year after all.

Probably next year, since WM will be in Atlanta.

[Triple Naitch]

Armstrong's count bothers me as well.

[Londoner]

I dunno, seems like kind of a dumb thing to notice or even get upset at.

Just my 2 cents

When Teddy Long was a ref he constantly pissed me off the same way, clearly wasn't a good ref but always got to be involved in good matches, which annoyed me.

[Juan]

Well then, I guess I'm the crazy one here for not knowing/caring about the refs.

[Xero]

lol I remember a year or so ago a guy came in who would literally jump like a foot for each count. He didn't last long.

[Londoner]

Yes, you're crazy, we know this!

[Lock Jaw]

Well then, I guess I'm the crazy one here for not knowing/caring about the refs.

Juan becomes two, for I also do not know/care about the refs. Pretty much background noise to me.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Maria surprised the hell out of me, but The Hurricane and Paul Burchill were sort of expected. If Burchill does some crazy awesome work in Japan, I could see him back in the WWE one day. Helms is best going to TNA.

[glanville6]

I'm hoping Goldust isn't next...would like to see an angle with Cody after Wrestlemania- either with or against Cody.

[Mr. Nerfect]

To be honest, I could see Goldust going pretty easily. The dude can be entertaining, but he's getting up there in years. They might offer him a position as a road agent or something. He's not the easiest guy to insert places, though, and he's one of those guys I can easily see the RAW or SmackDown! teams "having nothing" for.

Tyler Reks is another guy who could be released given a moment's notice. Curt Hawkins, as much as I think he has potential, could also go. Charlie Haas, Funaki, Mike Knox, Primo and Slam Master J are all fairly safe picks, too, sadly.

[Skippord]

it'd be kind of sweet if they made Goldust a road agent and when he came out to break up fights he was still in Goldust attire

[Mr. Nerfect]

That would be ridiculously awesome. The WWE should put profiles up of their agents on WWE.com.

[Triple Naitch]

When I saw the "Brooklyn, Brooklyn" thread bumped, I initially thought Shad was endeavored. Now that I think about it, it is entirely possible.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It wouldn't surprise me, but I don't think it would be a good move. I've said this before, but to some degree, I think Shad could make the WWE a fair bit of profit. He's a big dude who oozes charisma; and he's not the world's worst worker. He's also got those celebrity ties that give him weight. As a heel he would be menacing, and as a face he can be entertaining enough to hold the fans' interest. It's just his attitude that runs risk of getting in the way.

[erickman]

i am suprised goldust was not a nxt trainer, i thought he did pretty good the last 2 years on ecw working with the young wrestlers. with dusty still with the wwe they will keep goldust an he has atleast 1 angle with cody.

[kareru]

to be honest i doubt we will see helms in TNA, remember all that stuff that went on between him and velvet sky? something about a porn tape if i recall

[erickman]

to be honest i doubt we will see helms in TNA, remember all that stuff that went on between him and velvet sky? something about a porn tape if i recall

kaz has a porn tape, i figure the velvet sky thing may help him in tna.

[screech]

to be honest i doubt we will see helms in TNA, remember all that stuff that went on between him and velvet sky? something about a porn tape if i recall

Kaz had a porn tape and what did they do? Took off his mask.

Helms has plenty of friends in TNA who could get him in there. As far as the Velvet Sky stuff goes, I don't remember anything about a sex tape. I just know they dated for a while and are apparently good friends.

Don't get me wrong, I think he does have potential. But he has been in the doghouse before and this last thing may be the final straw.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Musta been a helluva conversation between Laurinaitis and Maria:

Laurinaitis: Hey, Maria, happy birthday!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Maria was cool when she was the dumb interviewer. Hasn't really been entertaining since....at all...not even a little bit.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, I actually felt a lot of sympathy towards Maria's dumb character. But then she became "you go girl" Maria, and she sucked. And not in the good way.

To be honest, I can see Vladimir Kozlov going.

[screech]

DAMN iNATOR, shut up.

[Phenomenal 1]

Call me crazy but I have yet to see any news or a move to the Smackdown or Raw Superstars page on Zach Ryder as well.....something tells me WWE has him on that potential list of people to get "future endeavors" during this round of house cleaning. Referee Scott Armstrong also got the axe as well. Call me crazy but why would someone as useless and so green in the ring like Big Zeke Jackson get the automatic move to SD and not Ryder who has appeal both as a in ring performer and his persona being over as heel. Him and Rosa reminds me of Rico and Jackie Gayda, except a heel version. Much more entertaining than a guy who can only evil grin, flex and do a uri-nage slam.

Zack Ryder defeated Primo on Superstars...but Maria was also on that same show, so who knows? At least Ryder won his match and Maria lost hers.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, during the Ryder/Primo match they said on commentary that Ryder and Rosa had signed on with Raw, so it's a bit odd they didn't get added to the roster.

Trent Barreta and Caylen Croft wrestled on SmackDown last week, but were said to be strictly free agents. I dunno, I kinda think they'll wind up on SmackDown anyway though I guess either show could benefit from adding a team.

Vance Archer is said to be going to SmackDown by the almighty Ryan Clark but it hasn't happened on screen yet.

Vladimir Kozlov worked a dark match as a heel before Raw, not that dark matches mean much. Honestly I would rather keep him as a face and run with the Kozlov/Santino odd couple that they teased on ECW like a month ago, just because I'm not sure what else to do with him.

That leaves just Goldust and Tyler Reks as far as former ECW wrestlers go. I think they are still testing the waters with Reks as a heel and he teamed with Vance Archer before SmackDown. If they are gonna do anything with him at all, SmackDown would be the place to do it.

Goldust, however, can go pretty much anywhere but I'd guess he lands on Raw. Maybe he'll rekindle his team with Hornswoggle, since DX will likely be split soon and there's obviously no way they are releasing Hornswoggle, gotta give him something to do. I honestly wouldn't mind an Oddities-like stable with Dust, Swog, Santino, and Kozlov. :o

I don't think the ECW non-wrestlers are going to do anything outside of Josh Matthews being the backstage interviewer on both shows as well as commentating on NXT and Savannah doing her shitty ring announcing on NXT. Tiffany is working on her wrestling in FCW, Byron Saxton has gone back to managing in FCW, and The Abraham Washington Show was run during the last set of FCW tapings with someone else subbing in for Tony Atlas.

Christ, I wrote way too long a post.</font>

[Mr. Nerfect]

Abraham Washington should be on RAW. It's just the best place for his antics. This means Tony Atlas to RAW, which is also good, because Mark Henry is there.

I'm not sure what Byron Saxton is like as a manager, but I'd like to see him do something. Even if he just starts representing John Morrison, or something. Shelton Benjamin could also use a voice. Saxton as a face manager would be interesting. It seems that the RAW Guest Host shit is ending, too, so Saxton could become General Manager there.

Caylen Croft & Trent Barreta would probably be used better on SmackDown!. I wouldn't mind seeing them trying to get Vickie Guerrero and/or Theodore Long to split the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship.

Goldust could probably do some good as a road agent or FCW trainer. If you want him on an official roster, though -- go with RAW. Josh Mathews being an official RAW brand interviewer would be pretty good, too. I wouldn't mind it if they took the Michael Cole/Josh Mathews dynamic to RAW, and had a three-person team with King for a while. Maybe just see how it goes.

Savannah could do backstage interviewing on SmackDown! as well as her NXT stuff. Tiffany is one of the hardest, as it would make sense to have her become the RAW General Manager, but she seems like she could use the time on SmackDown! to better develop. Vance Archer and Tyler Reks would be better used on SmackDown!, in my opinion. Vladimir Kozlov can just get released.

Then move Teddy Long to be Raw GM, Vickie Guerrero is promoted to Smackdown GM, Tiffany becomes Smackdown assistant GM.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Two women running a show? Nah, that'll never happen.

[Vastardikai]

I'd be okay if I never saw it again.

Seriously, I hated this gimmick when Eric Bischoff was doing it during the feud with Jay Leno.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The more I think about it, the more it seems like Charlie Haas will be on his way out. If Vance Archer goes to SmackDown I can definitely see him teaming with Mike Knox. Both are big guys, both have ruthless sort of characters, hell their entrance themes and trons are even similar. But that would mean the Knox/Haas "team" would be done with (even though they only teamed sparingly to begin with).</font>

[Lock Jaw]

Didn't even know there WAS a Knox/Haas team.

VINCE READS TPWW, ITS 100% CERTAIN NOW.

[Lock Jaw]

BOY I SURE HOPE HE DOESN'T RELEASE GREAT KHALI!!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I certainly couldn't live without Vladimir Kozlov on my TV.

[Vastardikai]

I LIVE TO WATCH CHRIS MASTERS MATCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!111ELEVEN!!!!

[Londoner]

LOL If Masters gets released AGAIN. I swear Vince does this for laughs.

[#1-norm-fan]

PLEASE DON'T RELEASE CHRIS JERICHO, WWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... am I doing it right... ?

[Mr. Nerfect]

NOOOOOOO!!!! Stop now, #1-wwf-fan!

Seriously, though, out of all the guys released, I most feel sorry for Charlie Haas. Just because his skills are probably the least transferable. Paul Burchill could do well for himself in TNA, as he can move around the ring well and be a great monster for the X-Division. Gregory Helms could team with Shannon Moore, do X-Division work, or even achieve more there. Maria is hot, and could get them some attention. Charlie Haas, though? He's a fantastic wrestler, but you see how little actual wrestling they put on TV.

[Ermaximus]

Man, I'd die if Hornswoggle and Jillian get released. I'd just die!!!

ROHwrestling.com has a thread basically asking ROH to sign Charlie Haas. From a pure wrestling standpoint that'd be a match made in heaven.

However, I get the feeling Charlie Haas will be wrestling in Japan, more money there for him.

I thought the same thing, actually. I would like to see him in ROH.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I hope ROH pays attention to that thread. Especially because Charlie Haas is perfect for ROH. But last time they didn't really pay much attention to him. This initiative people are taking on the ROH Forums is a good sign, though.

[The Show Off]

If I'm not mistaken Low-Ki dedicated his ROH Championship win on Russ Haas. Just an intresting thing to note if Charlie winds up in ROH.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Interesting. I'd like to see Haas work with Davey Richards and Kevin Steen.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I hope ROH pays attention to that thread. Especially because Charlie Haas is perfect for ROH. But last time they didn't really pay much attention to him. This initiative people are taking on the ROH Forums is a good sign, though.

Every time WWE fires someone even remotely talented, there's a "Bring in" thread.

This is nothing new.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Ah, well that sucks. I hope to see Haas in ROH. I think he could add a lot there. I actually think he could do well in TNA, too. Would not mind seeing him share Ric Flair as a manager, actually. For some reason, I've always thought that those two would mesh together so well.

[Rammsteinmad]

Charlie Haas :'(

I remember being SOOOOO excited when he returned in 2005 (I think). Only to have a couple of matches and disappear again. Here's hoping he can go somewhere and actually make a name for himself. :wavesad:
